    Getting drunk in the spirit "Biblically"

    There is nothing wrong with "reverent formal services", Each of us has our own way of worshipping God. One day we will all be slain in the Spirit though and fall down as if dead, Just like the Apostle John was, when every eye will see Him. What is more important is that you can know the Love of...

    Getting drunk in the spirit "Biblically"

    You hit the nail on the head, We need each other, just like a body has a hard time without legs or eyes or hands to be empowered to do anything. The Pentecostal movement though born from Methodism and the Holiness movements was essentially non-denominational. They were largely "outcasts" of the...

    Is this a prophetic fulfillment? Fig tree prophecy

    This is consistent with much of Prophecy, Time is irrelevant, and large jumps in time occur. Another example of this is Micah 5, which goes from the birth of Christ in Bethlehem, to the second advent in a line or two.

    I Have given you ample scriptural support that Israel is referred to as the fig tree in scripture.

    Is this a prophetic fulfillment? Fig tree prophecy

    I Am merely saying we are one step closer to His return.... Why does this bother you? are you not watching and waiting for His return? Are you not ready for His return? This should make you rejoice.

    Is this a prophetic fulfillment? Fig tree prophecy

    This is textualism in a nutshell... Show me the scripture for this statement..... I have shown you scriptures saying exactly the opposite, that the Spirit teaches us the hidden things of God (1 Corinthians 2:9-11). John wrote No book could contain the teachings of Jesus (John 21:25).... Jesus...

    Is this a prophetic fulfillment? Fig tree prophecy

    I Am not date setting in this post, merely pointing to a sign of his soon coming, a Prophetic fulfillment from scripture, No different than Israel becoming a nation was a prophetic fulfillment. "Son of Satan" Or false Prophet are one in the same. From your position of Intellectual arrogance...

    Getting drunk in the spirit "Biblically"

    Like any True and good thing in the church, Satan has a way of perverting it using his tares among the wheat. Whether that is fundamentalism being turned into textualism, or Pentecostalism being turned into a "rap concert". There is good and bad in both sides, and discernment is needed. What I...

    Is this a prophetic fulfillment? Fig tree prophecy

    Whatever you feel, the facts are the facts, date setters come from the fundamentalist wing of faith and are for the most using the same literalist theological methods that fundamentalist use on steroids. When I repented and tried to correct some of those date setters I partook with of their...

    Is this a prophetic fulfillment? Fig tree prophecy

    The Spirit of reveals to us the deep things of God. You will find this throughout the New Testament in the writings of the apostles, For Example, Paul's Epiphany in Romans 11, The Mysteries revealed to Paul while he was being Holy Spirit taught in Arabia for three years before his ministry. He...

    Is this a prophetic fulfillment? Fig tree prophecy

    Faith in Human understanding is a bad thing especially when it quenches the Spirit and makes the believer Unable to learn the mysteries of the Kingdom. As For date setting.... When I started to study prophecy earnestly, I Was guilty of date setting.... this was a product of my own unsound...

    Is this a prophetic fulfillment? Fig tree prophecy

    Was Paul then "barking up the wrong tree" when he wrote: But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all...

    Is this a prophetic fulfillment? Fig tree prophecy

    Yes this is a possibility.... My view is that the flood comes out of the serpent's mouth, meaning a flood of words to throw doubt and blaspheme the Word of God. The Earth swallowing those words are proofs of the veracity of scripture coming to light.... archeological proofs, 2000 year old fig...

    Is this a prophetic fulfillment? Fig tree prophecy

    How is my view in conflict with the straightforward reading of the text? Jesus says this is a parable, Parables contain the mysteries of the Kingdom as Per Jesus own words which must be Spiritually discerned. The fig tree in scripture is a symbol of Israel, and Judah in Particular, when Jesus...

    Is this a prophetic fulfillment? Fig tree prophecy

    For me personally, the date palm gave me a sense of peace and comfort knowing we are that much closer to His Return, Even if it is "nothing" as some here try to argue. The figtree has put forth its leaves, that may have happened in 1948 or 1967 symbolically, but it has also happened physically...

    Is this a prophetic fulfillment? Fig tree prophecy

    Yes I agree, I always wondered where it says the earth comes to the rescue of the Woman if that meant archeological discoveries bearing light on the veracity of scripture.
