We are not leaky vessels because ours is a testimony that we are new wine bottles and thus sealed and preserved as in saved.
Matthew 9:17 Neither do men put new wine into old bottles: else the bottles break, and the wine runneth out, and the bottles perish: but they put new wine into new bottles, and both are preserved. -

BUT those who defile the temple of the Holy Spirit ( 1 Corinthians 3:15-17 ) which is our physical body ( 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 ), are at risk of incurring the wages of physical death in being left behind at the pre great trib rapture event as the church at Thyatira is in Revelation 2:18-23 even though their spirit is saved in that day of Christ as per 1 Corinthians 3:15.
When we repent, we do so by asking Jesus for forgiveness of sins see 1 John 1:9 and for help to walk in the light as He did in 1 John 1:3-7 trusting Him to deliver us from every evil work in preserving us unto His heavenly kingdom; 2 Timothy 4:18
There is no more infilling of the Holy Spirit because He never left.
Where has anything been taught that when you sin, you need to fill yourself up with the Holy Ghost? Nowhere.
All there is for us to live by is avoid sowing to the works of the flesh and trust Jesus Christ in doing His work in is in sowing to the fruits of the Spirit ( Philippians 1:6,11 )
You will never see a Christian drunk repenting while drunk in seeking to be filled with the Holy Ghost to no longer be drunk immediately. Ephesians 5:18 is a call to be and remain sober in avoiding drinking in excess of wine in becoming drunk. It is not a call to seek an infilling of the Holy Spirit whenever any one sins. -
