(Hi Kalos, this is not posted specifically to you, but to whomever it fits) Do we understand the differing between having an experience contrary to scripture, compared to having an experience in harmony with scripture while not knowing that scripture? Acts 4:31 shows one place in the book of Acts where the filling of the Holy Spirit came as a special, extra filling, or annointing, in the vocabulary of one on this forum. There are others as well if you cared to look for them. If a man is gifted by the Holy Spirit to heal, or prophesy, or to speak in tongues, while not knowing the scriptures regarding healing, or prophesying or speaking in tongues, does that make their experience unscriptural? And if that man says "I don't know where in the Bible that is, but I experienced it, and the Spirit in me confirms it," does that mean this man is living beyond what is scriptural? No. It means that a brother needs to come alongside and teach them according to the scripture, and to show where in the Bible these things are taught. The works given by the Holy Spirit are to confirm the Holy Word, and to edify (build up) the church. Do our works build up, or tear down? Love in Christ, Mark |

1 Corinthians 12(NIV):3Therefore I tell you that no one who is speaking by the Spirit of God says, "Jesus be cursed," and no one can say, "Jesus is Lord," except by the Holy Spirit. 4There are different kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit. 5There are different kinds of service, but the same Lord. 6There are different kinds of working, but the same God works all of them in all men. The Spirit works through us and throughout us as He pleases. He moves us as He pleases. The Word itself testifies to different areas and in different ways we can be moved. Now I for one have not had the good fortune of experiencing anything close to what has been described in this thread, but I will not limit God and his ability to do so. WOS |
