It is received through apotheosis. Remember Paul of Tarsus.
I am not surprised that you do not understand as you have never been touched by the spirit of God.
If so, give the message received that has nothing to do with scriptures but has to do with self-growth.

Do you suggest that every Christian must have the exact same experience in order to have had any experience with the Holy Spirit at all? Certainly Jesus did not have a single method of teaching or ministering during his ministry on Earth. Nor were any of those called to service in either the Old or New Testament called in exactly the same way. I can only urge you to open yourself to the experience. Then then and then only can you understand.
I have and have been rewarded. I just spoke to that above.
I did not indicate that we all had the exact message or experience. I was asking for your anecdotal rendering and you refuse to give it. Why?
I showed mine and you will not show yours while denying me mine. Not quite kosher that.

And here I thought you have been arguing that it was all a bunch of baloney and have been telling me for pages now that I have not experienced what I know I have experienced. Who knew you were actually arguing on behalf of the activity of the Holy Spirit among us?
I cannot 'show mine' as you request because there is no way to explain it to one who has not experienced it. Any more than I can explain what falling in love is to one who has never experienced it. All I can do is assure others that the experience is worth seeking, that it is life changing in a good way, and all can have it.
