Epi let me sum it up so you can better understand .
YOU are as admant about your beleif in inclusivism
as i am in the one true gospel of JESUS .
And we both are just as adamant against the other ones side .
Its not often i meet men like you epi
and now you have met a sheep THAT wont back down epi .
You beleive as a child with great faith in inclusisvism
and i beleive as a child in the gospel of JESUS and ALL things HE did teach .
SO by now i also know you realize that . You know you have met a man that is gonna stand against your inclusisim
every bit as you do against the one true gopsel of JESUS christ .
And neither one will back down . SO i will continue to remind all
as i am sure you will continue to try and do the same .
BUT remember this epi . I NEVER ONCE desired evil for you or your destruction .
but seeing you wont repent i have no choice but to expose your works . and expose them i will .
EVEN when the AI digitgal system which enforces the law of its inclusive god comes against
those who refused to conform to the lie .
Though i am quite sure you wont weep for me , Just in case you might , DONT .
Dont weep for men like me no matter what happens to us in this inclusive growing society .
YOU WEEP FOR YOU and for all who bought the lie . c ause man can only kill my body .
But woe unto what is coming down upon all who made and loved that inclusive lie .

About the only thing you got right in that is
OH i KNOW GOD is b ig my friend .
But he aint big enough TO DENY HIS OWN SON . HIS MERCY does NOT DENY THE DIRE NEED
to BELIEVE ON JESUS .
only the false mercy of anti christ would try and play that line .
And i aint condmening anyone . you warn , i warn . so stop with the judgment victim card .
Unlike you i just dont add too or take from the gospel to make an all inclusive road of UNBELEIF .
That road never gonna lead to GOD . though i am quite sure
the devil will make it seem like such a non judgmental , full of love and compassion road .
OH no sir . REMEMBER the devil is a liar and While he can make it seem so good and loving
to humanity , DO REMEMBER , ITS THE DESTRUCTION of humanity he desires

Here we go again . well it aint your church . obviously . cause you and epi getting real cozy .
AND I DO NOT and absolutely will NOT follow inclusivism .
MY church dont accuse those who preach to an athiest or any other false religoin , about the dire need TO have to believe on JESUS ,,
A RELIGOUS extremist . but your man does . OH YES HE DO . you all are being led into a totally false gospel .
Why are you ignoring the question in such a defensive manner? I was just wondering what church you went to. As for me, I am pretty much a shut in so I have a zoom meeting with other people and fellowship. Also, I am not "cozy" with Epi. I do not agree with his soteriology. HOWEVER, I do think he voices several concerns that should be considered. 1) claiming something you don't really have 2) people who do not fear God 3) people who do not walk in humility. I think thee are dire warnings that need to be heeded.

unlike you i wont falsey accuse you of holding a bottle . at least i hope i dont do it .
BUT one thing i do know
is that often when one continually accuses one of hitting the bottle , its often , not always , but often
them accusing the other of what HE is guilty of doing epi .
However i wont accuse you of doing it . You might want to go and do the same .
I think , i myself have probably accused one or two of it . But i decided to repent of doing so .
Now as far as dreaming of a god who is bigger than , what you call judg ment and religious extremism ,
LIKE THE PREACHING of HAVING to believe on JESUS .
NO WAY . that god is NOT GOD and i desire no dreaming about that one .
GOD testified on JESUS , not on some big path of inclusive UNBELEIF and not only
wont preach the dire need to believe on JESUs but accuses those who do so as being ,
OH i am sorry epi , what was it you called me again , OH yeah RELIGIOUS extremist .
AND you really THINK i need to dream about that god . NO SIR . NO SIR . that god cant save
nor does it desire life for any . IT LIES and sells a big ol inclusive road in hopes
it can get as many on that train ride , so it can take them all down to peridtion with IT , ON JESUS DAY . no sir
i wont be heeding that other god you speak about .

You lack balance. Of course from your extremist viewpoint I look too lenient. But that's because you have not understood God's ways and His great mercy on the meek and doers of righteousness.

Because people lack balance they will argue...all are going to hell who don't believe...or else...all are saved (universalism)

Both views are untrue and extreme. Both extremes allow sin into the church. Either the sin of permissiveness or the condemnation on the just. BOTH are evil. It just so happens that you are an extremist on the side of judgmentalism. And I do weep for you....because all you have is a bible interpretation that doesn't reflect who God is.

So instead of a blanket condemnation on whoever doesn't condemn the world like you do....find out what God thinks...what's written in the bible concerning His creation. It's not YOUR creation to judge....but God's. Get off your high horse and your judgment throne and learn to love what Jesus loves. Also to hate what He hates, make no mistake. But realize for the merciful ...mercy triumphs over judgment. And love covers a multitude of pesha....carnal sins.

Be careful that your position on "inclusionism" is so far out of balance that you come against the unity of the body.

One of the Lord's last prayers was for Unity. And I know you will just regurgitate your same diatribe about inclusionism but I will post the verse anyway

Jn 17:21-23
That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me. And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one: I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me.


Maybe the reason why the world doesn't know that Jesus was sent is because of our division. Anyone who belongs to a "sect" is a heretic.

The warnings about walking in holiness and righteousness is good . I have done so myself .
Often warning against a false hype g race , as even epi does .
THE ONLY THING IS , I DONT MAKE VOID the DIRE NECESISSITY to have to BELIEVE ON JESUS .
NO sir i constantly do remind about that . And i darn sure would never call anyone
who preached to an athiest or any other false religoin about his or her need to repent and beleive on JESUS ,
a RELIGOUS extremist .
ALL epi preaches to you is meant to bring you into inclusivity .
Talk about having a form of godliness , it does it talks about holiness , righteous living,
BUT DENYING THE POWER thereof . OH YEAH IT DOES THAT .
what is the power of GOD .
THE GOPSEL is the power of GOD unto salvation unto all who , BELEIVE .
OH dear there is that BELIEVE word again that this inclusivian cant stand .
WHAT YOU are watching is exactly what paul warned timothy was coming .
THEY will have a form of godliness but deny THE POWER thereof . FROM SUCH TURN AWAY . a false g opsel is false .
and any gospel that entails its not necessary to have to beleive on JESUS .
WELL IT AINT NO GOSPEL . and not only that but has them calling those who do preach the gospel
RELIGIOUS extremists . No sir . dont get caught up with this man .
WE can talk about holiness and godliness and righteous living amongst us selves .
NOT with those who preach another gospel .

its not out of balance . I already beleive in unity amongst christains . but any unity
that is NOT ChRIST centered and will make void truths , No sir its the wrong unity .
In fact allow me to remind us all
about WHO we were to love above all . EVEN more than mother , father , brother or sister , wife or husband ........
children ........
GOD thus CHRIST . so it makes total sense we ought to put HIM FIRST , HIS DOCTRINE and not compromise .
IF we seek to please man we will d estroy the church .
IF we first and foremost SEEK TO PLEASE GOD , beleive me we would always have done what was best for the church .
ALWAYS let us PUT GOD , CHRIST first .

But you are looking for lip service. This is what Jesus says about the lip service believers...Many will say to Me Lord Lord. But these are LAWLESS...workers of iniquity...condemning the meek and lowly. Brother, that sounds a LOT like you.

You have not yet been broken to allow the precious ointment of Christ out of the prison of your own limitations on God. Only then will you understand God's love, patience and mercy.

please epi we both know what you believe .
its just i dont believe its okay to lie for the greater good .
Go on epi . let them all know what incluisivism teaches .
A false gospel .
That is why you are so aigiated with me . if i had never said anything about having to FIRST believe on JESUS
and had just preached about a holy walk and etc
YOU been praising me . ITS only because i remind them all
THAT WE and ALL must FIRST beleive on JESUS . That is your problem epi . it always has been your problem .
You can try all day and talk about me not having this or that .
Aint no way i am gonna heed one who not only dont believe its necessary to HAVE to beleive on JESUS
but sees the preaching of to believe on JESUS as religious extermism .
YOU my dear sir are not being TOTALLY honest with this people .
ITS Why you always ducked my question
when i asked you . you just said OH YOU BELIEVE .
but i had asked you if you believe its necessary for them to beleive .
See i know what that anti christ inclusivity cliams to BELIEVE .
and yet uses ONLY the NAME OF JESUS to bring a false gospel to the people .
You do realize that even the devils believe epi .
BUT do you really think they gonna point to THE TRUE JESUS CHRIST
either they preach another jesus , one that seems okay with sins , with unholiness .
WELL that jesus cant save cause ITS NOT THE JESUS .
NOR can any other jesus save .
THE ONE TRUE JESUS told his own TO REMIND ALL OF THE DIRE NECESSITY TO HAVE
TO BELIEVE ON HIM , as WELL as to observe all HE DID teach .
YOU remove the preaching of the YE MUST BELIEVE ON HIM . bad news .
You are in every bit as much trouble as is this hyper grace mumbo jumbo NAR realm
as well as the RCC and scores of o thers .
WE cant preach CONTRARY TO CHRIST EPI . you do .
YOU bring his teachings , but you omit the dire most important part
about having to FIRST bELIEVE ON HIM . and the sold out hyper ones
omit the part of HAVING TO FOLLOW HIM . do ya see the problem yet .
WE cant omit EITHER ONE .

seeing i already know what incluisivism teaches about THE SPIRIT
and how it lies and says even the false religoins and etc , even one who does not call upon The name of JESUS
is still following him if they keep his sayings .
BUT OH NO they aint epi , NOR do they have the HOLY SPIRIT .
Because GUESS what
NO MAN CALLS HIM LORD , JESUS LORD , but BY THE HOLY SPIRIT
and no man BY THE HOLY SPIRIT would call him accursed epi .
JUST LIKE EVERYONE who fails to BELEIVE HE IS THE CHRIST does epi .
SO ooopsy INCLUSIVISM LIED TO YOU .
just like it has its own ways of LYING to the false religoins too .
Allowing them to remain in their false religoin and UNBELIEF IN CHRIST .
YOU got sold a lie of anti christ epi . ONLY HE would ever once
have desired the gospel to be removed . cause satan knows
WITHOUT FAITH IN CHRIST can no man b e saved .
I tried to tell you epi , that this inclusvie god
IT DOES NOT LOVE YOU . no it dont , IT uses you .
IT has no love for you , for me or for the false religoins or anyone .
ITS DESIRE is their destreuction , so its gonna preach a lie .

I have everything Jesus says I can have. Don't you? Or is it that you don't have Jesus forgiveness for you to have everything that is his?


In your great power of discernment tell me which of these I do not walk in:

Galatians 5:22-23
22But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23gentleness and self-control.
Humility and the fear of the Lord.

It seems from what you've said that it is your definition of sin that makes you think you are sinless.
It is the context of where "sin" is written that gives the writer's definition. For instance, in 1 John 3 the context about sin is "lawlessness." Lawlessness are sins unto death, not merely trespasses. Whereas, 1 John 1:7 are trespasses of someone walking in the Spirit. The Spirit is not in someone who commits lawlessness. Trespasses are unintentional, Leviticus 5:15, but lawlessness against the commandments of God can never be committed unintentionally; they are willfully intentional. Romans 6 is also lawlessness that we are free from as Paul says, "the wages of sin is death." Trespasses are not unto death and if you are walking in the Spirit, the blood of Jesus automatically cleanses unintentional trespasses.

One of the differences in the two types of sin is intention. 1 John 3:9 has to do only with the most serious type of sin, willful lawlessness. It has nothing to do with unintentional sins not unto death. The ignorance about sin that developed because of the Reformation viewing all sin as "sin is sin" is why you have these questions. Another deception from the Reformation is twisting the cleansing of unintentional trespasses in 1 John 1:7 as cleansing willful lawlessness; therefore, the unscriptural false doctrine of the cleansing of "past, present and future" willful sins of lawlessness. Instead of 1 John 1:9 cleansing our past willful lawlessness to become born again of the Spirit, the Reformation uses 1 John 1:9 as a "get out of hell free card" for present and future willful sins. But a born again of the Spirit Christian cannot commit sins unto death, and lives with a clear conscience for decades; for me since I was close to 30, though I was raised in church with false doctrines of man.

Then that's good. You received more than just a sample. I was young and foolish when I was first baptized in the Spirit...and I was on my own. The keeping power was there..but I wanted OUT. Too holy for me after a few days. I was too selfish.

The next time was 18 years later...and then I lasted for 2.5 years. That time I lost or fell from grace based on a test I failed...due to a lack of understanding of righteousness. I had an unbalanced view of intimacy with God versus obedience.

You had none of those problems...you just stayed in...which is great.

I believe my own difficulty taught me all the ins and outs, so to speak..where the framework lies...all the pitfalls and the way God judges things. It's for the Body. So I don't feel like an individual so much as a walking lesson on God's ways. I have been learning righteousness these past 25 years or so. Gathering a fellowship of disciples to enter in together.
What I found interesting in the past few years of pondering how God sees sin, I noticed how other Christians see sin, can differ from how God views it.

I left the Seventh-day Adventist church when I was 23, but with all that has been happening in the world, and the signs of the times, I had a hunger to fellowship with other Christians all weekend, so started going to church on Saturday and Sunday. At the SDA church I would go early to their adult class before church, and swore to myself not to discuss doctrine. But I did divulge current miracles that happened. The last one I divulged happened that week. I was thinking about the stars and all that God has created and fell into a type of awe and my heart praised Him. The next day I opened a drawer in the living room I open everyday for my remote control and there sat an earring that I had lost from the pair a couple years ago at a restaurant. I opened the little box I had in another drawer of lost earrings and there was the mate. God had created the matching earring, just because I had praised Him as the Creator of all things. Well, it didn't go over very well in that Sabbath School class of people who don't wear jewelry and many of them phoned the pastor that I was demon possessed, and that the devil created jewelry for me. The next week a couple of elders were waiting for me, and told me I was no longer welcome.

Out of brotherly curiosity... I have walked at different depths of the Spirit...from walking in the light in Zion with light coming out of my eyes and seeing the holy city whose light shimmered upward. ...to not seeing any light at all but still being filled with the Spirit in a full victory over sin...even my dreams were either visions from the Lord or else just nothing...no invented realities.

So I ask you...in your current state...what perception do you have of being in Zion? Do you see light? Are you filled with joy and peace? Does the Lord speak to you? Do you see visions...at night or during the day?

Help me and others here to understand your walk in the Lord.
Back in 2001 I was living in Arizona and drove back to my old church in California for a Spirit-filled Living Conference. In the afternoon you could pick which teacher you wanted to hear, and I chose one in the main sanctuary that held a couple thousand people. The speaker was a woman that also had gone to that church when I did, and she was teaching on giving blessings to people. At the end she instructed us to pair up with someone sitting close to us to practice speaking blessings. I didn't know the person sitting next to me, and I suddenly had a desire to pair up with the speaker. As soon as I thought it, she said, "Linda, come up here, I want to demonstrate this on you." It was a long blessing that turned into a prophecy. I was also able to buy the cassette tape and played it all the way home. I played it over and over, and frankly it was one of those "too good to be true" type prophecies, and I couldn't figure out how it could ever come true. Eight hours later when I arrived home, the first line of the prophesy came to pass. Since then after leaving Arizona the rest of the prophecy came to pass in order. And just a few years ago the second to the last line was "let her eyes be opened by the Spirit of God," and it came to pass. I could see the anointing (if there was one to see) on our pastor when and only when he was giving his sermon. The first pastor's was white. Then I visited other churches in the area and the next one was bright cobalt blue, like the deep water off the coast of Hawaii as seen from a boat. This one was huge, like a garment. The pastor fell from the weight and my first thought was he was acting in the flesh, but no, I was wrong. It was the weight of the anointing on him. He was curled up on the floor in a kneeling position and the blue completely covered him. It looked like he was inside a cobalt blue glass paper-weight. I also noticed it was visible on the two giant TV monitors on each side of the platform. That knowledge lead me to look at YouTube sermons and found it is visible in recordings also. There are three other women at my church whose eyes have been opened also. I told one of them about seeing the blue anointing. And recently I was reading in a Christian book written by a man, and he wrote about what he "sees" as being either white or blue. All I know is that it is the anointing of God, but haven't a clue yet what the two different colors represent. Only at one church I visited did I see on the pastor something that made my mouth fly open with a gasp. Black billowing clouds came out of his head that were a backdrop for a tornado. I told him about it afterwards, because he needed to deal with whatever secret sin was tearing him up inside. That was a couple years ago now, and I would love to visit there again to see if he's dealt with it.

The last line of the prophecy has also come to pass. That I would be brought into a new level of obedience.

I have had visions and hear God plainly tell me what to pray for, so this verse has come to pass in both of us. I do envy you if you've seen heaven. I would love to see it in this life, but I guess I may have to wait for the next.

1 Corinthians 2:9-
“Eye has not seen, nor ear heard,
Nor have entered into the heart of man
The things which God has prepared for those who love Him.”

10 But God has revealed them to us through His Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God.
