Chris’ comparison of the Holy Spirit with the spiritual Internet is exactly right. It is also true that a person with a correct knowledge that God exists, a correct knowledge of God’s character and attributes, and a knowledge that the course of one’s life is pleasing to God, will enable a person to have the faith necessary to receive life and salvation, the gateway of which is the baptism of fire and the Holy Ghost. Then comes the second comforter.

Alma (LDS 34:38) (RLDS 16:237-238) That ye CONTEND no more against the HOLY GHOST, but that ye RECEIVE IT, and take upon you the name of Christ; that ye humble yourselves even to the dust, and worship God, in whatsoever place ye may be in, in spirit and in truth; and that ye live in thanksgiving daily, for the many mercies and blessings which he doth bestow upon you.
Alma (LDS 39:6) (RLDS 19:8-9) For behold, if ye DENY the HOLY GHOST when IT once has had place in you, and ye know that ye deny IT, behold, this is a sin which is unpardonable; yea, and whosoever murdereth against the light and knowledge of God, it is not easy for him to obtain forgiveness; yea, I say unto you, my son, that it is not easy for him to obtain a forgiveness.
