That's like saying Jesus lied and the bible is full of lies.

You are in what is called "a fool's paradise"
Thinking things are really,really,really exactly like you perceive.
All the while the truth condemns you.
1) if you think healing is not part of the new covenant then you see the bible and the ministry of Jesus as a sham.
2) or you really are duped into a bible propaganda that twists His Holy Word.
Our Savior suffered. Shall we escape suffering? More souls are won to Christ through the suffering of saints than all the whizzy modern progressive tactics of the neo church.

If you feel like you are being personally attacked first say something to the person. Often discussion of minor doctrines is not meant as a personal attack and should not be taken as such. Iron sharpens Iron and with that there will be some sparks. Don't let the sparks turn into flaming. If the personal attack keeps going on by that person report it. It is unfortunate that there are some false teachings in today's' churches. The best way to deal with those teachings is practice sound exegesis.

Proverbs 27:17
If it is concept vs concept I am fine with the opposition.
If it is attacking one individual,they will be judged.
And I may or may not engage them.

My beef is 2 fold.
1) where all charismatics are of the devil and Speaking in tongues is 100% of the devil.
2) that when reported (which I have) nothing is done.

So my conclusion is that this site approves and therefore emboldens them and incubates that demonic spirit operating in them.

So,yes he/they were reported and nothing happens.

On the other hand they ban hyper grace members.

I agree on almost every comment. Maybe every comment.

It is hard to give anyone credibility in an internet forum. You don't know that person and whether they are a total loon. So, how could I believe anyone's claim, not knowing them in real life?

If a Christian friend that I knew for years, and knew his mental stability and truthfulness, told me he had a supernatural experience such as a vision or a healing, then I would be inclined to believe them. However, no one meets this criteria here.
How ironic.(goofy and reckless)..so let's apply it across the board shall we?:


Yes.
We can all assume all baptists are clones and duplicates of yarborough baptist crazies.
Since no baptists here meet my special criteria.

Facepalm.

Get that wounded spirit crybaby mess cast out please.
Before you are completely consumed by your accusing spirit.

From my experience the Pentcoster sign and wonder seekers or self edifiers refuse to look to the foundation of the teaching. (Isiah 28) And in their open rebellion still mock God by making a sound without understanding and falling back slain in the spirit .Yet for all that they still refuse to hear sola scriptuptura without the side shows added. as oral traditions of sinners .Make a noise and fall backward and wonder? Mockery?
You just mocked all operating in the gifts and are oblivious to it,or you did it intentionally.

Either way ,you ,through your own testimony ,showcase the reason for this thread.

So then, for my understanding CC is an Christian Site and not an Charismatic/ Pentecostal Site. You Post seems to say, that all which are not agree whith the charismatic/ pentecostal teaching, are wrong. And the best way to avoid them is to ignore them. If CC is an charismatic/pentecostal Site, then I apologize. I will not further give my coments.
Btw. The typical pentecost teaching about the baptism whith the Holy Spirit I can only find when I take the acts verses and put them out of the Context. What I cant find, is that this what you teach was taught in the NT to the believer,/churches. But this I would expect, because this seems to be the most important teaching since 1901.
Just the opposite.
You default AUTOMATICALLY INTO mocking and attacking charismatics INSPITE OF SCRIPTURE.

I think it is fair to question anything charismatic claim in the light of scriptures. I also thin it is ok for those here to feel it is not for today. They have an understanding that that see in the word of God. As do those who see it the other way. There is attacks and insults by both. That will never change :). Nor do I think those who disagree should be forced to agree. If one can not formulate and argument ( apologetics ) to refute ones position Biblically. Then move on.

You will always have dog whistle topics that attract those who disagree and come to that three with the agenda of causing disruption.

They think it is their way of protecting the faith against unbiblical, false teaching, and error. "It is their calling" yet God did not call them to it. You have to stay in the word of God. Ones experience and frankly testimony will never be accepted in this setting by those who see you or others as biblical error. That is why in this setting our only defense is the Word of god :) and prayer for them and you.

FYI try "ignore" tab next to their name when you move the mouse over it. It works wonders and makes them crazy :)
This thread is my opportunity for pushback.
(Which I have been called out for)
Pushback is way,way different than throwing blind reckless punches at a ENTIRE SEGMENT of the body of Christ.

I can Promise you,if I got on some antibaptist campaign I WOULD BE CALLED OUT and outrage rained down on me by most members...rightly so.

And BTW what spirit would be driving me?????

See ,that is the thing.
Those recklessly attacking are operating out of a wounded spirit. They are poisonous.
Their inflicting of pain is cunning. Their operations are from rejection and a seething underlayment of anger and bitterness.

...and they get away with it.

I am pushing back

And yes most all of them are on ignore. I peek from time to time to see if God got a hold of any of them. Nope. Just as vile and cunning in their attacks.
It is a spirit big time

It is giving occasion for the enemies of God to blaspheme. Unbelievers see and hear these claims and it gives them occasion to ridicule Christianity as a whole, when they do not see these things coming to pass.

And it is definitely taking God's name in vain. Vain means no good use. Saying things in God's name, with his authority, that are false is misusing his name.

If I said that God gave me a message for someone, and God did not in fact give me a message for someone, this is taking God's name in vain.

This phrase "taking God's name in vain" is not limited to using curse words. In fact, I would rather see someone use a curse word than claim they are speaking from God when, in fact, they are uttering the imaginations of their own evil hearts. At least people know that those cursing are not claiming something came from God when it did not.

If prophecies are false, and do not come to pass, then false prophets have attributed something false to God. Something God never said at all.

And, people who make a habit of this should be cast outside of the church, after appropriate levels of church discipline.

In reality, though, they will just go to another naive church who will listen to their nonsense. That is the reality in today's world. Church discipline doesn't really exist overall within the Church.

By the way, I think the major reason why they do it is because they want to be thought of as some great power of God, like Simon Magus of Acts 8. To me, though, they impress me not one bit. If someone utters a prophecy, claiming God gave them this prophecy, I am more likely to label them as a non-believer.
...which would be fine if you had any ability to judge.
Instead it is an OPPORTUNITY to malign the body of Christ.

Your heart is wrong.

See,what does satan accuse us of ????

HE ACCUSES US OF WHAT WE DO.
LIKE YOU DO.

Blasphemy is speaking evil of/about someone. Like saying "God is a...[bad name]".

If someone speaks something that is untrue, they are probably guilty of lying or at least being wrong, but not necessarily of blasphemy.

If someone speaks something in the name of the Lord that God did not say, that person might be guilty of false prophecy but again, not necessarily of blasphemy. (Unless during their statements they something like "God is bad".)

Blasphemy is a specific type of innappropriate speech.

Love in Jesus,
Kelby
It is also attributing the work of the Holy Spirit to satan as in United in christ's posts.

Which is where Jesus invoke the unpardonable sin upon their heads.

Jesus doesn't approve of what people like UwC do. It is sure spiritual suicide

Your mind is befuddled. What I have given you in the suffering Savior is Christ centered and biblical.

The gifts are operating.(everyone) Tongues is prophecy the gospel. The new tongue of the believers as prophets sent as apostles .It not seen, faith (Christ's) has the power to cast out demons. We can plant the seed he can cause new growth to be applied to the new tongue. He must increase us decrease.

Why destroy the foundation of the doctrine in Isaiah 28 and as shown fall backward mocking the judging authority of God?

What the hope? Temporal wonderment? Self-edification?

It would seem easy to break just don't make noise without meaning and fall backward mocking God.

If "tongues" is "the gospel" then why did the Holy Spirit give the gift of interpretation of tongues?

If "tongues" is "the gospel" then why did Peter need to preach the gospel in Acts 2 when everyone had just heard it "in tongues"?

If "tongues" is "the gospel" then why did Cornelius and his companions start speaking it to a room full of people who had just heard it?

For one thing repeating a matter does not make it without effect. .We cry out and cry out for His understanding from the power of faith to the same faith. Hearing the gospel again can cause growth.

God gave the interpretation as prophecy. When Peter preached the gospel each man heard the understanding of God not seen.

God whose name is Jealous will not share that glory with corrupted mankind. He not only teaches us and comforts us but he always brings to our minds the things he has taught us. His love is not jealous But does have its conditions.

Cornelius an a apostle sent by God prophesied the words God gave to him. . . to Peter .A Gentile working with a Jew by the mutual faith of one that worked in them both . One bride. Gentile and Jew

Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons: Acts 10 :34

That's nonsensical. Peter was the apostle sent to Cornelius, not the other way around.

I have one hope for some who speak evil of things they don't know, don't understand, and haven't experienced. That is this...

A person who has never tasted vanilla ice cream cannot actually speak with verity against the taste of vanilla ice cream...because they're only speaking against the IDEA (personally fabricated false knowledge, not actual knowledge) of the taste of vanilla ice cream.

Saul (eventually the Apostle Paul) caught, tortured and caused the murder of actual Holy Ghost Christians (the speaking in tongues kind... one of which he later became himself). Do you think that in his handling of those first Holy Ghost Christians that he failed to speak against (the idea of) what spirit they claimed to have?

That same Saul, now called Paul, even explains how he was able to receive mercy instead of assured destruction, saying in 1 Timothy 1:12-13 KJV:
And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who hath enabled me, for that he counted me faithful, putting me into the ministry; [13] Who was before a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and injurious: but I obtained mercy, because I did it ignorantly [without ACTUAL knowledge] in unbelief.

There are some sins that cannot be committed without first having actually tasted of spiritual things. Just as there are some blessings that are unavailable without first having sin. Such as:

Psalm 32:1-2 KJV
Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered
. [2] Blessed is the man unto whom the LORD imputeth not iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no guile. <-- Think about it. You are not qualified to receive the blessing of verse 1 unless you first have sin.)

Paul escaped the verdict of "blasphemy of the Holy Ghost" because he was unqualified (by way of lack of actual experience/knowledge) to actually speak against it. As far as I understand it, He could actually only speak against the idea of the Holy Ghost. I think that's a safety measure God put in.

So what that means, by extension, is that blasphemy of the Holy Ghost is only available to those who ACTUALLY have the Holy Ghost... and it is currently unavailable to those who only THINK they have the Holy Ghost.... except perhaps if they were to stand in God's presence on judgement day and still claim that they have what they don't have. (Like the guy who lyingly told David that he'd stood on a wounded king Saul to cause his death. The bible says king Saul died in a different way, but the guy was given the punishment worthy of what he'd falsely claimed to have accomplished.)

When someone is actually given the Holy Ghost, it provides a WITNESS (tongues) which makes it manifest that the person actually has received it. (see Acts 2:4, Acts 10:44-46, Acts 19:6, Acts 2:39) The actual recipients cannot lightly (ignorantly) speak against what they've actually been given. They've TASTED, so their words are qualified. (Hebrews 6:4, Romans 1:19,20)

This is rather heavy stuff. I advise a significant amount of prayer and a good grasp on joy before people dive into that topic. It's better to move in a direction towards light, rather than to look deeply into the greatest darkness.

Love in Jesus,
Kelby

So, let me see if I understand you correctly..... If I do not speak in tongues, then I am not saved.... because when we are saved and baptized, we receive the Holy Spirit... a gift from God.
That about sum it up?

and there is the problem. You have a persecution complex about anybody disagreeing with YOUR scriptural understanding... because you obviously cannot be wrong.

So, your conclusion is that anyone that disagrees with you is possessed of a demonic spirit?

I bet you're a BLAST at parties....:(
