Acts 2:33 “Therefore being exalted to the right hand of God, and having received from the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, He poured out this which you now see and hear”.
In the above quoted scripture, we see that when the scripture speaks about the promise of the Holy Spirit, that it is in fact referring to the baptism of the Holy Spirit. And so, clearly, we see that it is not when we are born again, but rather when we are baptized with the Holy Spirit, that we are sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise, who is also given to us as the guarantee of our inheritance. This means that believers, who have not yet been baptized with the Holy Spirit, have not been sealed with the Holy Spirit and do not have the Holy Spirit as the guarantee of their inheritance. So, what is the implication for the believer who is sealed and the believer who has not yet been sealed?
