I really liked the point that even though we are commanded to receive the Holy Ghost, we often times don't. OR we will sometimes receive the gift and put it on the shelf. I thought, Yeah, It's like the scriptures which stay on the shelf until Sunday comes and we take it with us to church for a short 3 hours. Then we use them in 1 class for 45 minutes, take them home and put them back on the shelf. Like the gift of the Holy Ghost. Have we received it? How do we know?
I think the first point for how we know is given by Joseph Smith,
"No man can receive the Holy Ghost without receiving revelations. The Holy Ghost is a revelator." Joseph Smith
Then making the point that by having revelations and sharing them, we are "Revelators". We know the prophet and apostles are revelators. What is the difference between them and us when we have the Holy Ghost?
