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

But just as God isn't going to give the gift of eternal life to someone who hasn't repented, likewise, hes not going to give the Holy Ghost to someone who hasn't repented. Thats just plain ole common sense.

Some of you post like God is just in the gift giving business with no requirements.

Then I've been successful!

He definitely gives gifts, not as a reward for something we've earned, but because that's his nature. His gifts are always undeserved.

Now that doesn't mean, independent of his gift, that he doesn't expect things of us. He wants our devotion, trust and heart. He's a lover wooing us in.

Proudfather, continue to post. You won't like how everyone disagrees on here, some won't get into the fine details with you, others will. Then again, those who enjoy the details may feel like you aren't wanting to go there with them either. So, just stick around.
