I was pointing to an inaccuracy in the post which stated "tongues of fire". That inaccuracy has led countless to have a false concept of the baptism of the Holy Spirit.

"The person with the Spirit makes judgments about all things, but such a person is not subject to merely human judgments......" There is righteous judgement as instructed by the Holy Spirit. There are two kinds of judging, first as in a court of laws but also as in discernment. We should be...

Please note that the visible tongue was "like" fire. It was not fire. This misinterpretation has led to false doctrines and deceptive signs and wonders. People who seek God's fire are ignorant of what that means. God's fire is God's judgement. He is a consuming fire. God's fire consumed those...

Just remember that no man wants to be treated as a "fixer-upper". Some women do manage to manipulate their husband into change, then they complain that he's not the man she married. Men marry thinking that women do not change, but they do. And especially when they have children. Women marry men...

That's why God gives us a new heart and a new, born again spirit.

Some, not all. There is plenty of false teaching, but it's not the core of most protestant denominations. Catholicism is fundamentally flawed at its roots.

She'd already been tipped.

We can't - in ourselves. However, we have the love of God in our hearts: "And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out His love into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, whom He has given us." Romans 5:5 When I say, "Lord I love you, I add, "with the love you've given me to love...

You need to see that God loves you. He is not mad at you. Jesus already suffered God's wrath so you won't have to. We dare not approach God in our own righteous. But we can and should come to the throne of mercy and grace clothed in Christ. God knows everything about us anyway. He just wants to...

John 1:4 & 5 "In Him was life, and that life was the light of men. The Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome* it. We should not be surprised or dismayed if unbelievers do not understand us. And no doubt and/or unbelief can overcome God's word. If we will stand on...

It's God's job to change us. I'm for sure not the same person as I was 50 years ago, or even 5 years ago. Everyone I know is grateful for that.

The irony is that Catholicism is a cult.

He answered, “I was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.” Matthew 15:24

No one is old in their own view. My body has signs of wear and tear, but the rest of me is just fine. I'm 74, btw.

OK. Have you asked him why he is embarrassed? I think you need to commit this to the Lord Jesus and let Him work it out. He needs to realise that he is the son of his parents and that's just how it is. I went through a similar stage when I was 15. My family was poor and I was embarrassed. My...
