How many times did you ask God for the Holy Ghost?

Still looking for that verse where anyone ever "sought" for the Holy Ghost and didn't receive it.

You're reading the wrong translation.
You gotta go by the "verbal traditional words" which are Spirit and not by the carnal "written words" which were supplied to us by... gasp, choke, shudder, trinitarians about 400 years ago.

In the "verbal traditional words"
Acts 2:37 says, "What must we do to be saved?"
and
Acts 2:38 says, "Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost with the evidence of speaking in tongues."

You can also go to John chapter 3 and find in that "verbal traditional Bible" where Jesus told Nicodemus "Except a man be born again of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God."

Now, you will find some of these quoting John 3:16 correctly from the KJV but they place a heavy emphasis on the words "should not"
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
