“He said unto them, Have ye received the Holy Ghost since ye believed? And they said unto him, We have not so much as heard whether there be any Holy Ghost.”
and asked them, 'Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed?' They answered, 'No, we have not even heard that there is a Holy Spirit' — The disciples' ignorance of the Spirit recalls Apollos's incomplete knowledge (18:25). Paul's inquiry about Spirit-reception reveals his pneumatic theology: faith without Spirit-awareness signals incomplete Christian initiation.
