Dear Brother - Oil absolutely is symbolic of the Holy Spirit -
In Scripture it was called "the Anointing", in the Gospels and forward it is called the baptism in the Holy Spirit.
The LORD is called "the Annonited One of God" and this "Anointed one" instructs us to seek the Promise of the Father.
You, however, have an anointing from the Holy One, and all of you know the truth. - 1 John 2:20
How did they receive this "annointing"??? Was it it actual oil poured over their heads as was done to the High Priest of OT?
Read, study, pray the Gospel of John.
Be filled with the fullness of God? Is this possible??? = Yes, but only One Way

Misapplication of the Parable Matt 25:1-13 with the actual sin of Simon, in Acts 8:18
All of the virgins purchased their oil at the marketplace as the 5 wise virgins instructed the foolish 5 to do the same.
Did the Apostles ever instruct anyone to buy the Holy Spirit? - NO - Acts 8:18
Did the Apostles instruct those being called to receive Christ AND the baptism of the Holy Spirit - YES
The marketplace, at that time, was the important place of communication, sharing and telling.
It was the Social Media Hub and Mecca of that day.
The fact that they did not buy for themselves enough Oil for the Upcoming Event demonstrates they did not
hold in high regard the word of God that has gone out to all the world and therefore they missed out.
This same disregard of the Word continues to this day and the same outcome will be experienced with great joy for those who accepted the Promise of the Father and received the necessary filling UP in preparation for that Day - His Coming.
And for those who mock, have unbelief and disregard for the Holy Spirit, they will find themselves on the outside.

How so?
Matthew 25:1-13 doesn't say where they got their oil from.
Agreed and if they had they would have sinned. That's why the oil is not the Holy Spirit, because they would have effectually been instructed to purchase more Holy Spirit.
Yes.
Agreed, but they were told to go buy oil at around the midnight hour(Matthew 25:6). The market place would have either been empty or had some unsavory characters lurking about. No where to buy oil at midnight.
The oil represents something else.
I've noticed that too. Quite a shame.

I mean, I agree with that too. I'm not attempting to change God's word. I'm just discussing a parable with you all. I hope you don't think that my discussion of figurative and symbolic language is an attempt to edit the Bible because it's not. Thanks for sharing that though. We should pray for those people.
I don't think so either, exactly... but I've made posts in the past about the "OIL" and the "LAMPS LIT"... I'll post a brief excerpt here (to give an idea of what I mean):
[quoting a small portion of those past posts]

6) Zechariah 4:14 -
"Then said he, These are the two anointed ones, that stand by the Lord of the whole earth." [SEE Rev11:4 "Lord/God of the earth"]
7) Zechariah 6:5 -
"And the angel answered and said unto me, These are the four spirits of the heavens, which go forth from standing before the Lord of all the earth." [again, SEE Rev11:4 "Lord/God of the earth"]
"olive-trees" (one word in Hebrew, in the passages below) -
The same ^ word (singular word in Hebrew) that is used in Zech4:3 and 4:11 (translated there as "olive trees [H2132 - zayith/zê-ṯîm (one word in Hebrew)]") is also used in the following two passages (at bottom):
(which, btw, goes along with my posts re: the study of the "[olive] OIL" and "the lamps LIT" and "IN THE NIGHT"/"the NIGHT watches" [and the message of Matt24:14/26:13[<--see "oil" related in this verse]--to be preached IN/DURING the trib yrs FOLLOWING "our Rapture"--Matt25:1-13/Matt22:9-14, and Lk12:35,36,37,38,40,42-44,45-48 [for / (their) looking forward to] "when he will RETURN FROM the wedding"... THEN "the meal [G347]" (i.e. the MK age); etc...])
Exodus 27:20-21 -
The Oil for the Lamps
(Leviticus 24:1–4)
20 And you are to command the Israelites to bring you pure oil of pressed [/beaten] olives [H2132] for the light, to keep the lamps burning continually.
21 In the Tent of Meeting, outside the veil that is in front of the Testimony, Aaron and his sons are to tend the lamps before the LORD from evening until morning. This is to be a permanent statute for the Israelites for the generations to come.
Leviticus 24:2-3 -
The Oil for the Lamps
(Exodus 27:20–21)
1 Then the LORD said to Moses, 2 “Command the Israelites to bring you pure oil of pressed [/beaten] olives [H2132] for the light, to keep the lamps burning continually.
3 Outside the veil of the Testimony in the Tent of Meeting, Aaron is to tend the lamps continually before the LORD from evening until morning. This is to be a permanent statute for the generations to come. 4 He shall tend the lamps on the pure gold lampstand before the LORD continually.
[and]
Exodus 30:8 says, "“And when Aaron lights the lamps at twilight, he shall burn incense on it, a perpetual incense before the LORD throughout your generations."

Then Zech 4:12 says something interesting:
"[...] What be these two olive branches which through the two golden pipes POUR-FORTH the golden oil out of themselves?"
[v.14 adds - "... that stand by the Lord of the whole earth." (see Rev11:4)]

This is a parable, at that time the place to buy oil was the marketplace.
This has nothing to do with Acts 8.
This is why the wise virgins told the other 5 to go buy oil - the same place where they bought theirs.
The Lord received the 5 wise - the wise were not in error and there is no connection to Acts 8 with buying HS7.
The marketplace, at that time, was the important place of communication, sharing and telling.
It was the Social Media Hub and Mecca of that day.
The fact that the 5 foolish did not buy for themselves enough Oil for the Upcoming Event demonstrates they did not
hold in high regard the word of God that has gone out to all the world and therefore they missed out.
For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. Matt 6:21
This same disregard of the Word continues to this day and the same outcome will be experienced with great joy for those who accepted the Promise of the Father and received the necessary filling UP in preparation for that Day - His Coming.
And for those who mock, have unbelief and disregard for the Holy Spirit, they will find themselves on the outside.
The baptism of HS7 is the PROMISE of the Father - to reject or devalue the baptism of the HS7 is contrary to the will of God.

All I written happen at the seventh Trumpeth and that is the first resurrection, which are the saints. Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus. (Revelation 14:12) It's all the same event I show you in different places in the Bible. It's starts Immediately After the Great tribulation. I mention there was much more to happen at the seventh Trumpet, because so much have to happen that the scriptures call it the Great trumpet.
Lets take a look at that trump that is sounded....1 Corinthians 15:51 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, 52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. 15:53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. 15:54 So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.
1Thessalonians 4: 17. Now we will meet the Lord in the clouds, those that are dead in Christ and those who are still alive and made it out the great tribulation or out of the place of safety (wilderness).
Let's go into 1Thessalonians 3:13 To the end he may stablish your hearts unblameable in holiness before God, even our Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ with all his saints.
Lets go to Isaiah 27:12 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the LORD shall beat off from the channel of the river unto the stream of Egypt, and ye shall be gathered one by one, O ye children of Israel. (future) 27:13 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the great trumpet shall be blown, and they shall come which were ready to perish in the land of Assyria, and the outcasts in the land of Egypt, and shall worship the LORD in the holy mount at Jerusalem (future)
Joel 2:1 Blow ye the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm in my holy mountain: let all the inhabitants of the land tremble: for the day of the LORD cometh, for it is nigh at hand;
Let's take a look at, what Jobs said about being dead and being raise, let go to the book of Job 14:12 So man lieth down, and riseth not: till the heavens be no more, they shall not awake, nor be raised out of their sleep. 14:13 Oh that thou wouldest hide me in the grave, that thou wouldest keep me secret, until thy wrath be past, that thou wouldest appoint me a set time, and remember me! 14:14 If a man die, shall he live again? all the days of my appointed time will I wait, till my change come. 14:15 Thou shalt call, and I will answer thee: thou wilt have a desire to the work of thine hands.
This is called the first resurrection. If you continue trying to separate these event you will get confused.
