Greetings George! You wrote: "Once again, I will reveal my ignorance by stating that although currently I have no biblical foundation for the following statement, I believe there is one. I (think) they, the Holy Spirit and The Holy Ghost are two completely different things. Correct me with scripture, if you will. Remove the splinter from my eye, (I AM NOT SAYING THAT ANYONE DOES, but) only if you have no mote in yours, please." The English phrases 'Holy Spirit' and 'Holy Ghost' are both translations of the same exact Greek words. For some reason, I don't know why, the KJV choose to translate 'pneuma' or 'spirit' as 'ghost'. Newer translations translate the word 'pneuma' as 'spirit'. So, Biblically speaking, there is no difference between the two phrases. I hope this helps! Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

Thanks for your response Morgah. It is not my intention to spark a debate the subject as to whether or not the Holy Ghost and the Holy Spirit are one in the same, for it is completely out of line with my question. However, based on my studies after having corrected my original wording of the question; not that it matters, but I would have to disagree with you, or rather, say that I feel that the word 'pneuma' may have simply been used metaphorically. In the KJV "Holy Ghost" is mentioned 89 times in the NT. O (zero) times in the OT. Whereas, "Holy spirit" is mentioned 4 times in the NT and 3 in the OT. Quoting from the KJV, John 7:39 says (But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.) Yes, the NIV replaces "Ghost with spirit." If one READS what it says in KJV, they will see that in Jn 7:39, it calls the Holy Ghost the spirit. The spirit which the believers were to receive, which hadn’t yet been given was the Holy Ghost. Considering the fact that the “Holy Ghost” had not been given yet, I can understand why it wouldn’t be mentioned in the OT. But, I believe it was mentioned therein, just not described as such. I think that if one will do as I have, (and do a “phrase” search on the two, and then study the verses they have searched out) they can but come to the same conclusion; That the Holy Ghost and The Holy Spirit are two completely different entities. Wouldn’t you consider that the word 'pneuma' could have been used metaphorically? Either way, this is beside the point, for I am convinced, and not here to debate that point. My question was, and is as follows; Can one have received the Holy GHOST and not know? I have yet to come to a conclusion based on scripture. George |

Greetings George! You wrote: "Quoting from the KJV, John 7:39 says (But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.) Yes, the NIV replaces "Ghost with spirit." If one READS what it says in KJV, they will see that in Jn 7:39, it calls the Holy Ghost the spirit. The spirit which the believers were to receive, which hadn’t yet been given was the Holy Ghost." Yet, this verse illustrates my point. The word translated as 'ghost' in Jn. 7:39 and the word translated as 'spirit' in Jn. 7:39 by the KJV are both the same word - 'pneuma'. So, the verse actually reads: "(But this spake he of the 'pneuma', which they that believe on him should receive: for the 'pneuma' was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.)" Now, since both terms are synonymous, the answer to your original question is found in Acts 2:38: "Peter replied, 'Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.'" So, I would say that one cannot receive the Holy Spirit without knowing it, since the Holy Spirit is given in response to repentence.
