Editorial note — Chapter XXVI · THE HOLY GHOST.—WHO MAY RECEIVE IT.
Reading edition
[Footnote E: Some also note the case of Paul as an exception to the rule, but I think this an error It is true Ananias, on entering the house where Paul was, put his hands on him and said: "The Lord, even Jesus, that appeared unto thee in the way as thou camest, hath sent me, that thou mightest receive thy sight, and be filled with the Holy Ghost. And immediately," the historian tells us, "there fell from his eyes as it had been scales; and he received sight forthwith, and arose and was baptized." (Acts ix: 17, 18.) But in all this I see nothing to warrant the assumption that he received the Holy Ghost prior to his baptism.]
[Footnote F: Acts x: 1-8.]
