You apparently believe in some things that I cannot, even though I may sometimes understand your point of view. I have in various forums over the years posted these words which I copied from a book I read many years ago. Supposedly it was a statement made by Abraham Lincoln's although I am...

Yes, each person must make up his own mind. God doesn't twist arms and neither should we.

No proof scriptures on every point is OK, but when a person insists that something is based on the scriptures and it disagrees with your position or mine on that point, is it unreasonable to ask for something more specific? Sometimes I may know where they are coming from and sometimes I really...

Your statement is not understood.

Well it is not your survey nor mine. I normally to not participate in polls and that is so for this one. I did not complete the blanks. However this thread like most threads on this forum is a place for discussion. We don't have to agree, but all of us should put on charity one toward another...

Really? Why do you give these short answers with no scriptural explanation? I might guess why you believe that, but it would be a guess on my part.

You still have not defined a cult nor cited scriptures to support your statement. You are the one who insists on doing things according to the scriptures. I have no problem with considering that but on this point certainly you have not done it. What is a cult according to the scriptures? I for...

Did they really? And you would know this you were there and talked with them or because God personally told you that is was so?

Are you the local resident expert on hand now so we can forget what the scripture says and give heed to you and to science? "But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I...

Do you really believe that God does not have the whole of His plan under control? Do you not believe what this verse says? "Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled." Matt 5:6 If a person is really hungry and thirsty for His righteousness, do...

You say you never quenched the Spirit, but believe it was all wrong for you. Perhaps it was, but you are still presuming that everyone else who talks in tongues is in the same place of error. Therein is your mistake as I see it. What applies to you or to me one time does not necessarily apply to...

I am glad you recognize a difference, but even if your were correct in separating yourselves from the place that you were, does not mean that everyone else who speaks tongues is in the wrong place. Stop trying to do all of God's work for Him. No man can do it.

Having the Holy Ghost in us and following the lead of the Holy Ghost are two different things. Many people who have received the baptism of the Holy Ghost have been taught to quench that Spirit of God in order to follow the order that men have established in their church services. [Of course...

What a foolish question... as if any answer I would make would make a difference to you. Now will you prove or disprove the existence of God in us by the answers you receive or do not receive? I talk to God. He talks to me. He understands me. I understand Him. This is known as communication...

No, when I started talking in tongues the first time no one but my wife was by my side. That was in 1976.

They don't? Are you an expert in that as well? What do you know about edification in me or in any of these other members of this forum or in all the tongues talkers in other places? Did God give you a message? I readily admit that some people play games with God, as did Ananias and Saphira...

And if we don't, why is that? Did God stop being God? Has God ever changed?

Indeed, there is only supposed to be one Head of the Body of Christ and that is Jesus. Too many of these places called churches have other heads and what place is left for Jesus? Should we not voluntarily go the way of John the Baptist? That is to cut off our own carnal heads in favor of Jesus...

It is not presumption on your part that everyone who speaks in tongues today had to be coached? Your words speak I would guess from your own limited personal experience and what you have read. You need to go back and read a little more in the scriptures just exactly what faith is. The good...

On this thread mostly I am talking to @Dave L . I really don't expect him to suddenly change his position but perhaps one day if he is sincere at all in his walk with God, his eyes will be open to possibilities outside of his own little closed world. If you have actually put him on ignore my...
