There is no example anywhere in the Bible of someone receiving the Spirit by reading the Scripture.
Dumbest things I ever heard a Christian say.

I was miraculously given the life of God, washed in the blood of Jesus, filled with His Spirit, and born anew in my bedroom, just by reading the scriptures the night I was saved. And, btw, it was not the Recovery Version or the KJV, but some "shallow" paraphrased version called the "The Greatest is Love."

Since there is "no example anywhere in the Bible" does that mean it never happened to me?

Evangelical, you continually amaze me with some of your comments.
