The problem is if we put the emphasis on our bible knowledge and bible study, no matter how much we love it. Loving the Scripture didn't work for the Pharisees.
In any case, it doesn't change the truth of the statement "reading the Bible does not give us the Spirit".
The Scripture teaches only one way to get the Spirit - ask, or hear in faith.
