 The Holy Ghost before Pentecost part 3 of Chapter 6 of Judas Iscariot by Ogden Kraut.

1. The Holy Ghost Must Attend the Ministry.

Did the apostles of Christ have the Holy Ghost to direct them in their ministry? The Prophet Joseph Smith declared:

All are to preach the Gospel by the power and influence of the Holy Ghost; and no man can preach the Gospel without the Holy Ghost. (TPJS, p. 112)

The Holy Ghost is God’s messenger to administer in all those priesthoods. (TPJS, p. 323)

Therefore, if the apostles of Christ had the priesthood, it follows that they had the Holy [60] Ghost because the two are inseparable. The Lord revealed in our own dispensation:

That the rights of the priesthood are inseparably connected with the powers of heaven…. (D. & C. 121:36)
