Experience is not the validator of spiritual understanding. If it was what happened in the garden? No such thing as a sign gift. Spiritual gifts not seen, yes. Signs and wonders gospel, no. We are commanded to walk by faith. Not a option.
actually the opposite is true...no surprise you would contradict the truth however
when we experience what the Bible says we SHOULD experience, like being filled with the Spirit of God and praying and speaking in tongues...gaining understanding by the Spirit...walking and being led by His Spirit and receiving what other spiritual gifts God wishes us to have, the Bible becomes complete and the word of God is once again made true
just as a person must receive Christ by faith, so also do we receive what God desires to give to us
denying the power of God is not a gift of the Holy Spirit
those who continue to do so may receive another spirit whether they ask for it or not
accepting the lies of the devil leaves a person open to receiving the things that are from him
now those who are truthful in their uncertainty are one thing, but those who seek to do harm, and God knows the heart here, are listening to another spirit and not the Holy Spirit
the gifts are real and they are for the building up of the body of Christ. tearing down is NOT of God
confusion is not of God and double mindedness is not of God
further, I do not believe everyone needs to speak in tongues to be filled with the Holy Spirit...I believe there are some here who do not even know they are filled but by the words they speak and the conviction of their posts I would say they are filled, but do not speak in tongues
that may confuse some, but others may nod their heads in agreement
there is a completely different thing that happens when the Holy Spirit anoints what someone says or does and some here know what I mean by that also
sorry you are having such a hard time with the truth garee
