No, i was proving that the Biblical 'filled with the Holy Spirit', was diametrically opposed to what they were displaying, either the videos or the personal stories, ...all were complete nonsense. ....when you think about it, it's hard to believe that you thought otherwise, considering my vehemence against all these people who support this drama & hysteria, in all my posts? ...no worries, you wanted to clarify.
Yes, I had wanted clarity. I have come across a lot of believers who do not believe that the "holy laughter" movement is of God, but at the same time, they refer to methodology that invites such an event to occur by praying to the Holy Ghost or praying for the Holy Ghost to be sent into the worship place to reach the lost and yet the Holy Spirit is in us to do that so why believe the Holy Spirit would be in the worship place outside of us where the spirit of the antichrist dwells? They do this because those that err believes that the Holy Spirit is the One that draws men to the Lord and convinces them, but it is the Father that specifically does that per John 6:44 and the reference they use for the Holy Spirit convincing sinners is applied wrong from John 16:8-9 when it is about Him convicting sinners for not believing in Him.
John 6:44 No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day.
John 16:8 And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: 9 Of sin, because they believe not on me;
Anyway, my oldest brother says he thinks that stuff is crazy and yet he prays to the Holy Ghost. When that stuff happens, he is going to think that was the Holy Spirit because he was praying to Him at the time that it had happened.
That is how the Lord led me to discern how the holy laughter movement went across the denomination in 1994 as happening in Catholic & Protestant churches, not all churches, but it was happening in other denominations as gathering grapes of thorns and figs of thistles; the fruit of a false prophet.
Matthew 7:15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.16 Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?
That is why it also applies to the Promise Keepers' program and the Graham's Crusade for not converting any one out from their denomination, but sending them back to the Catholic Church.
Anyway, there are a lot of teaching and misapplication of scripture and practices that lays the foundation for believers to be led astray even though they can judge that holy laughter movement as clearly not of the Lord.
I try to tell modern day tongue speakers that the holy laughter movement is from the same tree in how they had gained tongues without interpretation and thus assumed for private use by receiving what they believe was the Holy Spirit apart from the calling of the gospel when they were saved by faith in Jesus Christ. I saw someone ( maybe in another forum ) reporting that the tongue speaker tried to stop a slain in the spirit event from being pursued in his church and he fell and the guy reporting it, gloated about it. The member "Amadeus" did "like" his post. I remember that part, too.
When any one speaks of receiving the Holy Spirit apart from the calling of the gospel when they were saved, it is the same methodology for how these holy laughter movement occurs. Tongue speakers may say holy laughter or slain in the spirit is not of God, but that is how they got that tongues and why they would fall to even such an apostate event as slain in the spirit or the holy laughter movement.
Sorry, if I had offended you, but yeah, clarity was needed because I was wondering if what you were saying was how they were saying from the Book of Acts for why they believe that believers can receive a continual filling of the Holy Spirit so they can minister to others or whatever. Some believers speak to the principle of being filled with the Spirit and seeking to be filled with the Spirit, but not actually to the phenomenon itself, but yet they leave themselves wide open to believing that phenomenon is of Him when it happens to them rather than just thinking it in principle.
Scripture testifies we are always Spirit-filled since our salvation for why we are accountable to what we sow towards because we are in this body of death still; do we sow to the works of the flesh or remained filled with the Spirit in sowing to the fruits of the Spirit by faith in Jesus Christ to finish His work in us to His glory? Philippians 1:6,11 Believers misapply Ephesians 5:18 as if that justifies in principle of seeking to be filled with the Spirit when it is just a call to remain sober thus be Spirit-filled with the fruit of temperance which is self control.
So, yeah. I am glad you know the holy laughter movement is of God, but just wanted to make sure you knew you are always Spirit-filled and not seeking to be filled by the Holy Spirit to be "full of the Spirit" in ministry when Luke was just explaining how His disciples did what they did in Acts.
...maybe it's marksmen, or someone else that you been contending with on this issue, who is hacking your computer?
...just kidding.
My folks' home has been accessed by people during the night and when we were away, trying their best not to leave any trace that they did, and failing as they have switched out stuff like food for spoiled food, taken DVD and some were returned to mess with me, emptied my ear medication with water and I had thought it was fuller than it was supposed to be but my doctor told me I had water in my ear and so that was that.
I have to consider that they had access to the computer to wi fi it, but enough of that possibility since it could be a hacker; maybe them, I dunno. God knows. I may have more persecutors than I care to know. He is Lord and He is carrying me through it. My treasure is in Heaven.
