One doesn't choose Christ or the Bible as if they were opposed to eachother. Christ is the word. The very verse you posted above means also that you don't have Christ in you if his word doesn't abide in you.

Know this dear sister: Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has...

Who is the liar? It is whoever denies that Jesus is the Christ. 1 John 2:22 A. NIV

Scripture refers to people like him as having the same spirit of antichrist. Who is the liar? It is whoever denies that Jesus is the Christ. Such a person is the antichrist—denying the Father and the Son. 1 John 2:22 NIV

You deny that the son is 100% God and was there in the beginning with the father. Denying his deity is antichrist.

I'm not going to debate hypotheticals with you, I see you are stating you are not of the faith and I am making note of it. He who denies the son is an antichrist. Period.

He who denies the son, denies the father and is of the spirit of antichrist.

Mmmm. That is nicely put.

Curious ScottA who is that a photo of in your avatar?

Yes, I want to be a team player. Lol.

All sounds good. I believe you're legit. Pardon my intense vetting process.

However, I disagree with something here, in Christ we have authority to command evil spirits, but not to command healing. We pray for healing and God decides.

Thank You for your testimony. I do believe it. Why wouldn't I, it looks legit. A very small fraction of my story, is a couple in leadership at a church I served at, told me "they" were going to "baptize me in the holy spirit." They said they were trained on how to baptize in the holy spirit and...

And let's be fair, who would be more obsessed with power? Someone who calls it out for what it is, or someone who makes a whole thread about power. You are purposefully looking the other way. Be honest.

Ok. Let's dig a little deeper. But first I'll answer your questions: yes I've been baptized with the Spirit of Christ and yes I recieved power. Now will you answer a question of mine? What is the process of being baptized in the spirit in detail according to the way you practice it?

You need to go back and read what he posted. He implied that God will choose people who can withstand the temptation of operating in the power of the spirit, but the spirit doesn't tempt. You're wrong again.

Indeed, but what's not scriptural is what some charasmatics practice which they call baptism of the holy spirit.

I wasn't saying that it would. He was.

It's both, but I know what you're getting at with this so I'll beat you to it. The "baptism of the holy spirit" as you call it is a false experience.

Gideon, you have smooth words, but it appears you dodge the main issues.
