Sorry, John, but you are not going to sneak by with the lame "out of context" argument. The point is that the Holy Ghost continues to operate this way whether you recognize it or not. You are free to testify to us that the Holy Spirit does not operate in your life the way it is promised in John 16:13, but you cannot testify to others that he does not operate in the lives of anybody else like that. Jesus gave promises about the Holy Spirit and how he would operate in the lives of believers. Peter made it very clear that this promise was not restricted to just the eleven apostles at that moment in time. Acts 2:38-39 "Then Peter said unto them ... ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call." Peace be with you.
