Thank you my friend. What more could any person ask of you? Our God is able. While we may continue to disagree until He unifies us I do give Him the glory for what He has already done as well as for what is being done! "O LORD, I know that the way of man is not in himself: it is not in man that...

When did man lose dominion over himself? I do not believe that he did. This is where we can still see the two choices of men which have never been removed. A man may choose to (1) serve [surrender to] God (2) or not. In the Garden of Eden it boiled down to obeying God by leaving the forbidden...

And what happens to illiterate and the semi-illiterate? Of the former in the USA there may only few but of the latter, there are very many. Our friend @bbyrd009 would likely not be any easier to understand even if his grammar and spelling would satisfy the "best" of English teachers. His...

What have you said? What does authoritative mean? If God sent a person a dream how is that for authority. So then the right question to ask might be, is the dream from God? If it is, why would it have less authority than a scripture sent from God?

We only know them by their fruits when we are in the Spirit hearing from God. If we are quenching the Spirit we are then listening the voices of strangers. Don't tell me you are always walking in the Spirit unless you can also honestly and sincerely tell that you never sin.

It is also written in scriptures that "...every man is a liar...". That means you or me as well when we speak a word we believe is true, but it is wrong. All of these thousands of denominations and believers have some errors, which when they speak them aloud to others, God would call lies. I...

No, not anyone knows. Those you call naive don't know or they would not fall into that trap... if trap if was. God does work in mysterious ways and even a donkey can speak the Word of God so why not a charlatan? Don't limit Him!

People come to an altar, be it is a church building or in a car or at home, and yield to the Lord and experience for the first time in the baptism of the Holy Spirit. So they are born from above for that first time and then they need to grow as even Jesus grew. How fast or how far they grow is...

But... you do? Recall once again the still the wise words of Solomon: "Every way of a man is right in his own eyes: but the LORD pondereth the hearts." Prov 21:2 That too many men today, who know Solomon's words, do not believe they apply to themselves because they have the Holy Spirit is...

With this part I do agree. That there are imposters, I do not doubt. That we are likely to disagree on who they all are is for me a good reason to leave it alone generally while avoiding specifically any we believe to be dishonest. To arbitrarily call a particular group dishonest is not my call...

You are still not admitting the need for the Holy Spirit in a person to know anything at all... especially with regard to the things of God. At one time many years ago I tried to go that way presuming that if I just read and studied the Bible long enough and hard enough I would or could become...

Are they? To say this so definitely means that you believe you know what is correct for each and every one of those doctrines. Is this really what you mean to say? Are you so flawless then in all of these things? Since I am not, I find myself unable to say more now.

Thanks Dave for making the effort here to answer... Likely some people claiming to be something special with God or even to be Apostles are deceivers, but there really are some sincere men of God who are working hard at the job God gave them. They may be few, but don't lump those good ones in...

Whether a person does define it or is even able to define it matters not at all so long as he pleases God. If it helps us and when it helps us go ahead and try to set them out according to definition, but don't presume that you or the ones who prepared the definitions will be saved because of...

The low seat I take is before God each morning to allow Him to mold me as He sees fit. I guess this means we are finished here. I am truly sorry that that is the case.

I am glad to hear you standing your ground on what you really believe. I am pleased to hear your testimony of what God has done for you. I pointed no fingers specifically at you, although it may have seemed so. Rather I would simply hope people would realize that God works as He works even if...

Most definitely not! God may indeed make use of the brain power and logic of men to understand scriptures, but if that were the only and/or best way to know God, then the closest people to God would always be the smartest and/or best educated. God is no respecter of persons. His manner of...

Were Adam and Eve shamefully naked before they sinned? Absolutely not! There was no shame involved until after they disobeyed God. Then they made themselves a covering but God apparently considered it inadequate. But the fig leaves and the skins were temporary. Jesus was sent, among other...

Have no fear Helen!

On this note, my pastor's father was a full blooded Chippewa who was born and grew up in Canada. When he first came to the Lord, as led by the Holy Spirit he spoke in a fluent French while another new convert present at the same service spoke in a fluent Chippewa. Neither of the men knew the...
