John 16:13 But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all truth. He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come. 14 He will bring glory to me by taking from what is mine and making it known to you. 15 All that belongs to the Father is mine. That is why I said the Spirit will take from what is mine and make it known to you.
The Holy Ghost draws men to Christ so there would be no reason to believe a man would have to beg for the Holy Ghost because really He comes to man first by way of convicting the man of his sin and leading the man to Christ.This we know.
Where I'm going with this is some Christians stop there after receiving salvation and do not have the understanding that yes they are sealed by the Holy Ghost but there is a difference between that and being baptised in the Holy Ghost.
Care to clarify for me jfrog? |
I have only been speaking of the type of Holy Ghost that is spoken of in Acts 2:38. If you take Acts 2:38 to be about the baptism of the Holy Ghost then that is what I have been speaking of. If you take Acts 2:38 to mean the sealing of the Holy Ghost then that is what I have been speaking of.
I have been posting with the impression that Acts 2:38 was about the baptism of the Holy Ghost. I have not discussed whether there are two types of Holy Ghost, the baptism and the sealing or whether there is just one type of Holy Ghost.

No there is only one Holy Ghost.I'm trying to figure out why some are only sealed and don't receive nothing more.Like the gifts and some Christians this day and time don't believe the gifts are still operating.

Re: How many times did you ask God for the Holy Gh
Ok, so if the statement is...having sin in your life can keep you from getting the Holy Ghost, would it be an automatic that if one has sin in his/her life, one cannot receive the Holy Ghost?

Is there anything that someone can do to get God to give them more? If so, what?

 God sometimes says no though, doesn't he? Do you think he might could say no to that kind of prayer also? If he might say no, then what should a persons reaction to that kind of an unanswered prayer be?

Well you know I imagine God does see some of his children as impatient so to teach them to wait on the good things of God one must continue to patiently pray knowing that in God's time I'll get this gift.If not, then in eternity I will not need this gift because then I will be face to face
