That's a leap. The wind is the Spirit. The Spirit is invisible, and so is the experience of being born again. You can't see the old nature being killed, and replaced. But there IS a dramatic difference in the person, themselves, when the slavery to sin is gone. The "sound" could just as well be...

I just want to emphasize what the Holy Spirit's main purpose is and that is to make us reborn to partake of the divine nature. Jesus didn't sin because of His nature, and He is the firstborn of many brethren filled with the Spirit of Christ who don't sin. Romans 8:29-30. Not the firstborn of...

When I first got baptized with the Spirit, the first thing I had was a vision and the interpretation, then I heard God's voice all within minutes. The Spirit overwhelmed me from the top of my head to the bottom of my feet and all the desire to sin was gone. The burden of the old nature was...

The Old Man is the carnal sin nature also called the natural man we were born with due to Adam's sin. It is this carnal nature/flesh that must be born again. Being born again is through the baptism of the Holy Spirit that Jesus gives to those who truly repent and want to follow Christ and...

Chakras, balancing energy fields, and the like are substitutes for the Holy Spirit. The pineal gland is an actual gland in the center of the brain that produces hormones. It is natural, not spiritual as in "third eye." Pagan countries know there is a spiritual realm, and want access to it, but...

Yes, I agree that Jesus was God while a man. But there were things as God that He couldn't do as a man. Those powers attributed to being God, He emptied Himself of, and asked to be restored at the end of His earthly ministry. How do you explain THE CHILD being called by the names of the Spirit...

I'm the same. But I do give credit to the Holy Spirit. It seems many churches fail to appreciate Christ's power through His Spirit infilling us and changing our nature to the divine nature of God.

If they are one, then you could be wrong. John 14 is Jesus in His unglorified human state. He emptied Himself to become human, and asked the Father to give Him back the glory He had before when He was with Him. Besides, the Child being Jesus is said to have the names of all three. Isaiah 9:6...

He never mentioned that there were any demons present. As I recall, he liked the feeling of flying. That's why the angel came. But even though I started to read one of his books, I decided I might be tempted to abuse the privilege too. I know I am saved, and if Jesus comes in 2029 when it...

That is very interesting and I believe you, but just as Paul was the only apostle that is said to have traveled in the Spirit, I wouldn't accuse those who have the Holy Spirit and are gifted to not having the Spirit if they don't travel. That is like those who accuse cessationists of not being...

No, the body contains the brain. The mind, our thoughts, are invisible. The Father is also invisible. And so is the Spirit.

I don't know if this will help or not, but the way I look at the Trinity in light of God is the same as man being made in God's image. Man is a triune being, just like God. We have a body (Jesus), but that is nothing without a life force (Spirit) and mind (The Father). So Jesus has the mind of...

How many times have you "traveled"? And where to? And for what purpose?

I remember as a young person there was a sermon that included the manifestation of water and blood from where He was pierced, and supposedly, scientifically, the water with the blood was the sign of a broken heart. The sweat was like, not actually blood. He sweated profusely.

That would be nice, but not everyone can go to heaven at will, or around the world.

I agree with you. Except the Holy Spirit's first manifestation is a new nature that does not desire to sin. The gifts, including speaking in tongues are secondary. Yes, we have been given the authority to speak in tongues, but having the Holy Spirit indwelling us means we are no longer in are...

Oh, then I'm quite mistaken it seems. I was responding to this in #134: "Believers Should NOT break any of the Laws Of God .....but they do. Believers CAN and DO take advantage of God's Grace, whether they know it or not and whether they want to admit it or not." I read this post and agree for...

Now you're not making any sense. It is like we are in two different conversations

Why do you believe we are under the 613 laws? I don't even know what they are. What does Paul mean that we are not under the law? Is he speaking of another law than the 613? We can't take advantage of God's Grace, because it doesn't mean unmerited favor as if God is the author of sin, but rather...

I just quoted you, silly. You are the one that said only the bad need the law, but there are good people that wouldn't do anything wrong. I'm just asking you an obvious questions about your doctrines. But you won't answer the questions, just twist it around to some mean and weird thing about me...
