Everything anyone finds in scripture, be it positive or negative, I believe, has a purpose for God. But... always we must remember that people may work either as the right hand or the left hand of God. Being led by the Holy Spirit is a good thing, but there are those who claim to be led by the Holy Spirit who likely are led by a very different spirit, at least part of the time. But, then again...
"And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose." Rom 8:28
hey, i agree completely--either SiT has practical applications outside what we now define as "church," or it does not, in which case one's current understanding will just be reinforced at my expense, and i will owe you guys an apology.
Are we looking for/any evidence of "flames like tongues of fire" literally settling on anyone's head, recently? Any evidence of "crowds amazed," over and above the singular statements of some witness that dribble in here and there, unsubstantiated? Iow can anyone refer me to an instance where even Two Witnesses might tell me the same story? A, can you bring us a witness to your previous one?
ps, and are we aware that there are people dedicated to finding one of these, if one exists, and corroborating it for posterity via youtube and etc, yet they have none as of yet that meet their criteria? And these people are trying to establish it, not put it down, ok.
