Sheryl, I guess you don't have it. It's okay to not understand it, but to call it the devil's work in someone that you don't know, is the most horrible form of blasphemy you can do. Since you have not got it yourself, what makes you think you can judge what is real and not in me? Your posts have gotten more and more vicious each time you post.
However, I got the gift at 19 and have had it all these years. The Bible clearly talks of the infilling of the Holy Ghost with the evidence of speaking in other tongues. I think after all these years, and countless services, shoulder to shoulder with the Ministry, one of them would have surely called me on it if my gift wasn't real. I guess you are more wise than the thousands of Ministers, Missionaries, Evangelists, etc., I have rubbed shoulders with?
What I find amazing in all this is your insinuation that I'm demon possessed, etc., etc. You don't know me, and what makes you think you have the power and wisdom to make a call like that? A judgement like you are doing? You surely are not as spiritual as you think yourself with the viciousness of your posts. Your "love" that you tote so much is not shining through not one bit. Something is very wrong.
James 4:12
Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He shall lift you up. Speak not evil one of another, brethren. He that speaketh evil of his brother, and judgeth his brother, speaketh evil of the law, and judgeth the law: But if thou judge the law, thou are not a doer of the law, but a judge. There is one lawgiver, who is able to save and to destroy: who art thou that judgest another?
FYI Annella---my last post wasn't "just MY opinion", I listed the source from where it come from...but I guess you know more than what is listed on wikipedia... BTW, since I have not gotten "what" myself? What are you being so judgmental about now and saying I have not got? You don't know me---you don't know what I got & haven't. (And...My posts are "vicious" now---what? lol...) I never said the scriptures DON'T talk of the "infilling of the Holy Spirit with evidence of speaking in tongues". However, if you have been "with the gift since age 19" as you put it, common sense says you should be making ALOT more Christian sense than you do---especially when EVEN the non-believers know better than what you're doing. (*Note: About the "years of service"---Satan has believed in God his entire lifetime too...so what?)Annella: but to call it the devil's work in someone that you don't know, is the most horrible form of blasphemy you can do
NO it isn't. Blasphemy against God IS---you aren't God (even though you yourself compared yourself equal to Christ. Isn't that what got satan kicked out of heaven, btw???) I guess you are more wise than the thousands of Ministers, Missionaries, Evangelists, etc., I have rubbed shoulders with?
Annella: If those thousands only "rubbed shoulders" with you, how would they know exactly what you are all about? If they seen your words & actions on here, they wouldn't call you out? Really? (If so...you know I would not want anything to do with a church that would approve of your behavior on here...but that's just my personal, honest opinion). I can't see Jesus being on here acting like you do. I can't fathom the disciples being on here acting like you do---what does THAT say?Annella:Something is very wrong.
Something is also very right. For over a year I have been trying to explain to others on here that there are all kinds of "christians", AND that "christians" shouldn't all be considered "one and the same". I tried to explain to some who'd tried giving "christianity" a shot before and it didn't "take" why that might have been (how they could have been in the "wrong church" or trusted the wrong kind of "christian"). I repeatedly told them if they are looking for God, to always check their sources, and know what is actually in the Bible. I told them they should know for themselves what is actually in the Bible, instead of letting someone else TELL them---and so they would know a false teaching when they came upon it. Until lately, all that was just "words in a forum" to them, they couldn't see what I was trying to show them. Now, they're finally able to see what I had been unsuccessfully trying to tell them! You are right though, by saying something is very wrong. My posts haven't been vicious or judgmental, they've consisted of kindness, apologetics, forgiveness, admission that I may be wrong about a thing or two, admission that I do not know you other than on-line, and quite a few of your own words. btw, I haven't used any sarcasm, any put downs and no name calling---yet you say my posts are becoming more & more vicious? You haven't seen "vicious" out of me at all, ask falconer & qon. Sad to say, they've seen my "vicious" side. What you've been seeing isn't "vicious" at all. If you have a problem with someone posting facts/thoughts on-line that don't coincide with your "opinions"... then you have a problem. (P.S.- You don't need to keep posting Bible verses to me that you have selected to "suit your purpose" as they are wasted on me, I know what the Bible says. )
No Sheryl....you do
NOT have it. You know why I know? Because anyone with the Spirit of God living in them would
NEVER accuse or insinuate another (even a weak Christian) of being demon possessed, or insinuate that the Spirit of God in them was the devil. Yes, blasphemy is against God. God is the Holy Ghost (His Spirit).
If your calling someone demon possessed, and they have the real Holy Ghost living inside them, and you insinuate that that same Holy Ghost is actually the devil, who are you really blaspheming against? The person, or God that lives inside them? Or are they joined if God has filled them, and made His abode with/in them? If you call the Spirit of God in a person the devil, and it really is God, then you are blaspheming the Holy Ghost for real. That's why having the Spirit of God is so important for discernment.
Now, someone who has never had the Holy Ghost can blaspheme ignorantly because they don't know any better. However, if someone that Has the Holy Ghost and says the things you have said to me regarding devil possession, etc., and my Holy Ghost is real, you
are actually blaspheming God. We that have the Holy Ghost are very careful to call anyone demon possessed until we know for sure because we know better through discernment through the Spirit.
That's why I posted you were in a dangerous place. Now you have the knowledge.
As far as the scriptures I've posted. Do you not post scripture that lends credence to what you write? The Word of God is for
all things.
This is finished for me. Read Matthew 12:24-32 Talks of blasphemy against the Holy Ghost. Don't have time to write it out.
