He is very fond of lion chops!! boom, boom!

Not at all. Based on years of study and listening to what people say and do. For example, if a person says they speak in tongues you know they are not a devotee of the reformed doctrine. If a person says they are four square on baptism by immersion then the chances are that they attend a...

Sorry but your post is too cryptic for me.

I am using it all the time. The church seems to be the one that wants to shut it down.

Even worse not drink coffee because of my Mormon friends. Oh hell. I couldn't survive without my daily cappuccino.

After being an astute observer of the church of various persuasions for many years now in my country, it is so true that it is a case of not what you know but who you know determines your fate in the church. Although I am super qualified to illustrate a point not to boast, I have never once...

Purely conjecture on my party but Reformed 1689 is a devotee of the reformed doctrine which discounts anything supernatural so he would not be able to comprehend the power of God in a supernatural way in his or other people's lives. Way back when I was a teenager (yes, it did happen) I used to...

I would love to meet all these half-brained Christians out there. Especially those who experienced the power of God through the ministry of men like Charles Wesley, Whitfield and Evan Roberts where men used to regularly fall to the ground in their meetings because the presence of God was so...

No of course not. They all made up the story independently and as a result, became a believer from telling falsehoods. Happens all the time. I mean, Muslims are desperate to die because they make up stories about supernatural encounters with Jesus. They can't wait to be beheaded or chopped to...

Dare I say it. The church needs to "get smart?"

Sensational!! All power to Jesus...and the supernatural!

Right on Nancy. I have done some more reading about them and yes they do have some weird ideas and their views about Jesus are not clear cut. Nothing unusual from a cult.

There are a lot of churches that have experienced this so I guess they must all have the same ventilation system and the same smoke machines. Do tell me, in what meeting at Bethel did you find this out?

Can I suggest that the church has got to the point where it shuns the supernatural because it may mean they lose control of everything? As many churches say "Why change? We have always done things this way." That may be fine up to a point but what do you do when you are running a conference and...

God meets us where we are at. I remember a young man who was a beer-drinking, hard-living, foul-mouthed individual whose only objective in life was to get drunk on Saturday night. He always succeeded. God met him in his drunkenness and saved him. As he tells the story he was wobbling along down...

Nonsense to who?

Sorry to say that what you contend is not the truth. In the last year, I have read about 10 books regarding the situation in the Middle East and which has focussed on God's dealings with Muslims. Time and time again, Muslims testified to having a spiritual encounter with a person, often in a...

Except that the subject under discussion is not prophecy. It is you deciding you are an anointed teacher to the body of Christ. If you look at Ephesians 4:11 you will see that being a teacher is a separate ministry to being a prophet. And whatever it means for you is not relevant as the only...

It is not wrong if you follow the original greek. The verse you spoke of in Greek the word for church is ekklesia which means called out ones so the church is comprised of called-out ones. When the called-out ones gather together that is the church. If you are not called out you are not the...

Been there done that.
