Re: How many times did you ask God for the Holy Gh
Luk 11:13 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?
Well, one thing is for sure, Jesus said to ask Him.
I asked many many times, but I was committing sins I would not admit were sins, so I did not get it. When the sins were cleared up, I got it! So, there's more to it than asking Him. Imagine Anton LaVey just asking Jesus for the Holy Ghost. Think he would get it in the state he lived in just because he asked?

Re: How many times did you ask God for the Holy Gh
When I was groing up, we used to have "Tarry Services" on Sunday night before church where those who had not been filled with the Holy Spirit would come to the altar and cry out to the Lord in worship and praise-- waiting for the Holy Spirit to be poured out on us.
The seasoned saints would be singing and praying over us, encouraging us to keep calling on Him.
Our tarry services were never dead, and neither were our Sunday nights.

Ask Him?..does not say that  ..
how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?
Jesus is not the Father

Who do you think the Holy Spirit is?

I disagree. I thought we were apostolic here.
But that aside from the point. Jesus said ASK FOR IT. Period.

Acts 2:38, the monumental verse of many groups, doesn't include asking for it. It's a gift promised, not an opportunity pleaded for.

SO are you saying Peter contradicted Jesus when Jesus said to ask for it? Just because something is a gift does not mean we do not ask for it. We do not work from it since it is a gift, but we ask.

Re: How many times did you ask God for the Holy Gh
There's no option for zero...
When I got the Holy Ghost, I didn't even know what it was. I just felt conviction and went to the altar crying and praying. Since I didn't know what the Holy Ghost was at the time because my family had just started going to the UPC church, I didn't know to ask for it.
