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

That's not the argument, here. We're talking about someone "trying" to "get the Holy Ghost" and coming up empty. Look, come on Mike, if we're gonna run people through the salvation wringer repeatedly, forcing them to crawl to the altar and beg for something, and get rejected by God for reason that, apparently, only He knows, we ought to, at least, have some bible for it.

That's all I'm asking. Just find some scripture for it. But you know it, and I know it, and Billy Graham, and D.L. Moody, and Billy Sunday, and Walter Martin, and Daffy Duck, knows you CAN'T. That's just the absolute bottom line.

So pray for people all you want and have the finest strategy for "Praying them through to the Holy Ghost". And EVERY SINGLE TIME they come up empty, something just happened that NEVER.....ONE TIME, took place in the bible.
