1 | Can everyone rec'd the Holy Spirit | Heb 1:3 | jlpangilinan | 36364 | ||
No! only those who ask for it. Lu 11:13 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him? You have to ask for it and it will given unto you: Mt 7:7 ΒΆ Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: God bless, Johnny |

2 | Can everyone rec'd the Holy Spirit | Heb 1:3 | Ray | 36405 | ||
Hi Johnny, I would surmise from your personal profile that you believe in the Trinity and would thus say that the Holy Spirit is a Person and not an it. Are you thus saying that the holy spirit here in this verse is the good thing given rather than the Person? That is the interpretation that I am putting forth and I just wonder if that is also what you are saying here. Matthew 7:11, "If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more shall your Father who is in heaven give what is good to those who ask Him!" Luke 11:13, My interpretation for what it is worth: "If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more shall your Father from heaven give the *holy *spirit to those who ask Him?" The Greek is literally "Father from heaven". Let me know how you interpret the verses for I don't want to put words in your mouth. Also, could you tell me what you mean in your profile "Only one Holy Spirit". In other words, is the Holy Spirit God in your mind; and/or are the other two Persons one Holy Spirit in your mind. From the heart, Ray |

Ray, Matthew 7:11, "If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more shall your Father who is in heaven give what is good to those who ask Him!" I put that verse to weight in that you have to "ask God" if you want to receive the Holy Spirit. If we recall the question really is "can everyone receieve the Holy Spirit" and my answer is NO! you have to ask for it. For your second question, I am sorry, I cannot understand it clearly. I hope you can specify more clearly I try to answer you back. sorry. God bless, Johnny |
