AMPLIFIED 2015 | Galatians 3:28 There is [now no distinction in regard to salvation] neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you [who believe] are all one in Christ Jesus [no one can claim a spiritual superiority]. [Rom 3:22; 1 Cor 12:13] |

Bible Note: sheila, While I don't doubt your sincerity or the experience you had, I offer these 3 points: 1. We need to make sure that our faith is founded on fact, not emotion-laden experiences ( not that they're all bad); 2. We have received the Holy Spirit in accordance with 1 Cor. 12:13, "For by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free, and we were all made to drink of one Spirit." 3. I don't see how your reference to Matt. 13:11 relates contextually or otherwise. I just don't see a Biblical mandate to "Pray and ask God for this GIFT"- it is something we already have! I believe it a matter of yielding to that life of Christ in us (Gal.2:20). Out of curiosity, where does God tells us that "if you are serious he will provide"( the Spirit)?
