1Jn 1:3. That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that ye also may have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship [is] with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ.
The Holy Spirit's role is to point us to Christ by Whom we have access to the Father. It's crossing roles to pray directly to the Spirit although technically He is God

...I don't think God will zap the believer for doing so only in time correct him.
Who is specified as the way?
John 14:[SUP]4 [/SUP]And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know....[SUP]6 [/SUP]Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. [SUP]7 [/SUP]If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him.
Note verse 7 in how the Son is the way in knowing the Father and He us for which is why this iniquity in John 10:1 is the reason why Jesus said this below which is the consequence for not striving to enter through the strait gate.
Luke 13:[SUP]24 [/SUP]Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able. [SUP]25 [/SUP]When once the master of the house is risen up, and hath shut to the door, and ye begin to stand without, and to knock at the door, saying, Lord, Lord, open unto us; and he shall answer and say unto you, I know you not whence ye are: [SUP]26 [/SUP]Then shall ye begin to say, We have eaten and drunk in thy presence, and thou hast taught in our streets. [SUP]27 [/SUP]But he shall say, I tell you, I know you not whence ye are; depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity.
I would say being left behind from the pre tribulational rapture event is a believer being zapped...unless they repent in time.
Luke 13:[SUP]28 [/SUP]There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when ye shall see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the kingdom of God, and you yourselves thrust out. [SUP]29 [/SUP]And they shall come from the east, and from the west, and from the north, and from the south, and shall sit down in the kingdom of God. [SUP]30 [/SUP]And, behold, there are last which shall be first, and there are first which shall be last.
