The Word of God says many times that it is the Holy Spirit which is the seal/guarantee of one's salvation. If that be so, would anyone who does not have the gifts of the Spirit, or does not show the Spirit to be evident in his/her life be sent to Hell on the final day?

It is the Holy Spirit that draws you to God in the first place. If you are born again (saved) and have accepted the Lord Jesus Christ as your personal savior then you have the Holy Spirit within you. You may not have a gift such as Speaking in other tongues, Healing, Prophesy, ect... but you don't have to have a gift to make it to heaven, you just have to accept Jesus as your savior and obey his commandments by your daily living. God Bless You.
The bible says to believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved, it doesn't go on and say you have to have anything else, just believe on him.

When one has the Holy Spirit - they are led by God from the inside. The ones who have repented and (1) have not denied Jesus or God (2) have held to Jesus and trusted in God no matter what -and- (3) have fought against temptation - WILL be accepted. Only those who walk away or follow their own ideas over God's word will not be accepted.

There is no such thing as a Christian without the Holy Spirit.
On the other hand, there certainly is such a thing as a false prophet...in fact, these days, there are a great many false prophets out there. There are such things as signs and miracles that, if it were possible, would lead away even the very elect. There are even, unfortunately, people stupid enough to line up at an altar in a church, in order to have their spirits slain, leaving them spiritually dead.
The false prophets rake in the $$$...
and Satan laughs.

Anyone who is born again as the Holy Spirit. When you are born again, your spirit is reborn by the Spirit of God. It is that new, reborn holy spirit that is our entry to heaven.
Now, there are additional promises of power, batism, and growth in Spirit available to every Christian. And not all Christian availa themselves of those infilling. But they are separate from the "born of the spirit" mentioned in John 3 that is our salvation.

Any one who is not saved does not have the Holy Spirit. So yes they are doomed to hell for not being saved. Being a christian does not mean you are saved. You can look like a christian and be as lost as a goose in a snow storm.

You can't earn a living with the holy spirit. You can only die to be with the Holy spirit.

you receive the Holy Spirit upon being saved, it's not a separate event in ones life. if you don't have the Holy Spirit, you were never saved.

You are judging. That is God's job. You also misunderstand what a "seal" is. The seal of God is the "knowledge" of the fake Jesus, the devil. The knowledge of the truth.

Anyone who has not accepted Jesus Christ as their personal Lord and Saviour will not gain access to Heaven. PERIOD.

i thought they said as long as you believe Jesus is a son of God and your savior and of course do good things, you are saved! of course when you believe you are saved by Jesus, get baptized.
