The only thing necessary to receive the Holy Spirit is that you must have accepted Jesus as your Lord and Savior. Once you've confessed Jesus as your Savior, God gives you the Holy Spirit (Ephesians 1:13).

For all intents and purposes, you have signed up to Christianity by accepting Jesus as your lord and saviour.

Edit: Hope you read the terms and conditions.

You've signed up to a religion that says you should take the homeless into your own home.

Jesus actually goes further:

“Sell all that you own and distribute the money to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; then come, follow me” (Luke 18:22).

No. That was an odd thing you added to the conversation. - Helping the poor was a large part of the ministry of Jesus, which Christians are supposed to emulate. I don't think it is optional.

It's okay if you weren't familiar with the well known expression.

This nit picking over semantics is almost as if you trying to dodge the bullet of the bible instructing you to take the homeless into your own home. (Something you have already said you wouldn't do).

Alternatively, there are an estimated 210 million Christians living in America. They could apply biblical teaching, and take homeless people into their own homes.

Do you feel the two things are equally incumbent upon you, as a Christian, to follow the instructions on how to treat the poor and executing sun worshippers?

Or are you using the sun worshipper riff to lessen your Christian responsibility towards the homeless?
