Why doesn't Piper say "to experience the Spirit more you have to pray more"?
Why does Piper attribute experiencing the Spirit with Bible knowledge rather than prayer?

Dear brother
Evangelical, either you have forgotten Piper's original quote, or you are willfully distorting his message.
Piper said "loving the word" not "studying their Bible." Do you know the difference? Loving and studying are not the same. Based on your faith and love, the Bible may or may not be God's word to you.
Have you read ALL of Piper's writings, that you can conclude that he NEVER said to "pray more to experience the Spirit" of God?
Piper NEVER attributed "experiencing the Spirit" with mere "bible knowledge."
Dear brother
Evangelical your own preconceived prejudices have biased your ability to accurately post concerning what John Piper has written.
