How do you almost receive a gift?
I read something very disturbing from a friend of mine today. She was speaking about her children getting baptized when someone asked if her son received the Holy Ghost. Her reply was, "Not yet, but he almost did."
I've heard people say that many times in my life, but it never struck me like it did when I read that line. How does God almost give us a gift? Where is scripture that says someone "almost" received the Holy Ghost? Where did that come from and why did people start saying it?
