Enow, it's really not easy, especially considering what those videos showed.
It's really not easy to refrain from going into rebuke mode.
It's almost like this post that you started is really beginning to separate the sheep from the goats right now, the visible Church from the invisible?
I understand, but there is a danger when belittling any poster.
Galatians 5:14 For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. 15 But if ye bite and devour one another, take heed that ye be not consumed one of another. 16 This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.
Stick to the issue regardless of the poster not liking how we are reproving what he or she is involved in as a work of darkness by the scripture or by a video. The mindsent we are to have is patience and meekness in the hope that God is peradventuring to recover them from this nsare of the devil.
If we were in a church, then after being reproved privately, then with 2 or 3 witnesses to confirm the word, and then still unrepentant, then before the whole church as the church is all supposed to say the same thing and the same judgment ( 1 Corinthians 1:9-10 ) to excommunicate the unrepentant brother.
Matthew 7:11 For the Son of man is come to save that which was lost. 12 How think ye? if a man have an hundred sheep, and one of them be gone astray, doth he not leave the ninety and nine, and goeth into the mountains, and seeketh that which is gone astray? 13 And if so be that he find it, verily I say unto you, he rejoiceth more of that sheep, than of the ninety and nine which went not astray. 14 Even so it is not the will of your Father which is in heaven, that one of these little ones should perish. 15 Moreover if thy brother shall trespass against thee, go and tell him his fault between thee and him alone: if he shall hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother. 16 But if he will not hear thee, then take with thee one or two more, that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established. 17 And if he shall neglect to hear them, tell it unto the church: but if he neglect to hear the church, let him be unto thee as an heathen man and a publican.
But we can't do that in a forum. It can only serve as an outreach ministry and we need His help to avoid biting and devouring one another, especially when someone is caught lying about how they speak in tongues as if they can interpret their own tongues which they cannot by the scripture; 1 Corinthians 12:7-14 That would be the same as saying "I have no need of you" to the body of Christ because they can do it all when scripture says the Holy Spirit divides it severally as He wills.
1 Corinthians 12:7
But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal. 8 For
to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom;
to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit; 9
To another faith by the same Spirit;
to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit; 10
To another the working of miracles;
to another prophecy;
to another discerning of spirits;
to another divers kinds of tongues;
to another the interpretation of tongues: 11
But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will. 12 For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ.
13 For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit. 14 For the body is not one member, but many........19
And if they were all one member, where were the body? 20 But now are they many members, yet but one body.
21 And the eye cannot say unto the hand, I have no need of thee: nor again the head to the feet, I have no need of you.
So if you come across anyone that says they speak in tongues and interpret that tongue they just spoken, scripture proves they are lying. Either they know that foreign language or they are deceiving themselves into thinking they are interpreting that tongue by how Joyce Meyers believes how she interpret tongues on others by getting the "gist" or the "feeling" of what is said. Another church thought they had the actual God's gift of tongues with interpretation, and hired a linguist to record it and translate it to prove it, but find that it was just gibberish nonsense and they were winging the interpretation like Joyce Meyers was. So it is hard to outright call someone a liar when they are deceived themselves, but when someone else as a foreigner says that the tongue speakers are interpreting their own tongue, scripture proves they know that tongue then, as they cannot be speaking and interpreting that tongue by the Holy Spirit. The practice in church is to have 2 or 3 speak in tongues and another not of the 3 to interpret which is the same method for prophesying.
1 Corinthians 14:27 If any man speak in an unknown tongue, let it be by two, or at the most by three, and that by course; and let one interpret. 28 But if there be no interpreter, let him keep silence in the church; and let him speak to himself, and to God. 29 Let the prophets speak two or three, and let the other judge.
So when someone says they pray in tongues and name the languages they are praying in as if they do not know the languages themselves, it cannot true by the scripture. They may know the languages and are outright lying about not knowing the language
or they are guessing that they are speaking in those languages and don't know that it is just gibberish nonsense. As it is, we can judge the tongue as not of Him, but judging the person is to be avoided in the forum since they know not what they do, either way.
