Re: Receive YE the H.G.
I don't see Jesus' Words as a command, but as a Promise. As pointed out by others, the Holy Spirit could not be given until after the death, burial and resuirrection of the Lord. The promise of salvation, and all its benefits which includes the baptism of the Holy Ghost had not yet been purchased . Thats why the Holy Spirit could not come until the Gospel had been fulfilled with Jesus ' death, burial, and resurrection.
