Sometimes when we’re seeking God and encounter “attacks” or crazy circumstances, I wonder if it’s more “turbulence” like the turbulent before breaking the sound barrier or like getting through the atmosphere.

Hmm that’s a tough one. Some things seem to come out of nowhere. Sometimes it’s obvious that bad choices cause problems in our lives, but other times it’s a mystery, and we just may not know at the time why something is happening the way it is.

It usually takes God opening our eyes, like the two on the road to Emmaus Lk 13:31 Then their eyes were opened and they recognized him, and he disappeared from their sight. 32 They asked each other, “Were not our hearts burning within us while he talked with us on the road and opened the...

Well, I hadn’t yet been baptized in the Holy Spirit, but I had a big spiritual experience at college. When I came back to my original church they just weren’t as fired up and wanting to go out and visit and witness. It was somewhat of a letdown. Of course I was in my 20s, so I had a lot of zeal...

2am in the morning and we’re arguing on some forum. I’ll get them for you tomorrow

No, not exactly. You’re right, denominational churches are good places for entry level ministry. I probably was unteachable when we were the only ones going out sharing Jesus. Again, I appreciate denominational churches. But most are very “limiting” on advancing in the Christian walk. Most...

Nope. True sanctification is a process by which we are transformed into His likeness, day by day, of trial and error, where His desires start to become our desires. It’s the process of becoming a holy bride.

Big words award - “Scripture records… God commanded.”

Well, whatever. You need to loosen up then. Look dude. No one has the exact same salvation experience. Duh. Go ahead and freak out if you want. Grow up

Whew, I’m so glad we got that fixed. I was up late last night worried about the grammar in this thread 😎

Did you figure that out all on your own? How long does sanctification take? A long time. We’ve got a whole lot of flesh in the way.

You know, salvation doesn’t have to be an exact method. I even put down and example in another thread, but there are documented cases where people have never heard of Jesus and have called out His name. Later, they told their story. We’ve all had different salvation experiences.

Denominational churches have their place, but there is simply more to the Christian walk. Way more. Salvation is only the beginning. Being filled with the Holy Spirit is next, and there is way more after that.

Yikes, I scrolled and didn’t read that. My bad. I’m very sorry for the loss and my foolish answer :(

I grew up in a Baptist church and when I got really fired up for God, they didn’t know what to do with me. I then went through a crisis (a girl and a breakup) and through some events ended up in a full gospel church and later on at a morning men’s meeting got baptized in the Holy Spirit (was so...

Obviously have never received the Baptism of the Holy Spirit.

We’re all basically negative on here, because we’re all experts in our own eyes. If you’re on this forum, you’ve pretty much given up, and have landed in a purgatory place called Christian Stagnation Philosophy, Level 1.

Why does an acorn fall at a certain spot? Who knows? Who cares? Why does a scorpion always sting? Because it’s a scorpion? Why is news always negative? Because it’s news.

Matt 10:24 says “ 24 A student is not greater than his teacher. A servant is not above his master.” If you want more from God then you will pro need to come out of the denominational church you’re in. You’re only gonna learn as much as you’re being taught. In fact if you only want to debate...

But, what else could it symbolize - death, burial, and resurrection? And if we’ve already gone through it, then who cares, at this point?
