According to Paul from his letters to the Galatians, the Christians can

possess the gifts of the Holy Spirit by obeying the Law of Moses or by
hearing about Christ and having faith in him. According to Paul, no
matter who you are either Jew or Gentile, unless you’re a Christian who
believes in Jesus Christ you will share in the blessings that were given to
Abraham. If one who tries to please the Lord by obeying his Law but
doesn’t have a shred of Faith inside won’t receive a blessing but a curse
instead. If we are guided by the Holy Spirit, we can’t obey our selfish
desires. We can Possess the Power of the Holy Spirit if we throw away
our desires which are considered enemies to the Holy Spirit, according
to Paul.

the heavenly things are purified with the perfect sacrifice of the
od of Jesus. The investigative judgment reveals to heavenly
lligences who among the dead are asleep in Christ and therefore, in
m, are deemed worthy to have part in the first resurrection. It also
kes manifest who among the living are abiding in Christ, keeping the
mmandments of God and the faith of Jesus, and in Him, therefore, are
dy for translation into His everlasting kingdom. This judgment
dicates the justice of God in saving those who believe in Jesus. It
lares that those who have remained loyal to God shall receive the
gdom. The completion of this ministry of Christ will mark the close of
man probation before the Second Advent.—Fundamental Beliefs, 23
