Dearest Doctrinograce, Well understood. Even the prophesy of Joel also is understood, dream dreams, having visions, is this not sober mindedness or is it madness? Does one see these dreams or visions in public or in private? Tell me tearcher! What are the dreams about? What are the visions about? Tell me if you have wisdom! We are NOT dependent on experiences. You KNOW that and I know that! Experiences happen and you KNOW that. Have you not had an experience, a private time with our Lord, when you where ecstatic, in prayer, when you could not speak, but all you could do was weep, weep for the future or because of your past or of one that is deep in need? In all your experiences with our Lord, tell me you have never come to the point in all your prayer life, with all your Scriptural knowledge, where you were completely void of self-expression. Tell me teacher; how does the Lord work in MY life? Do you READ only Scripture? Are you talking with God as Adam did in the cool of the garden? Their dialog was not recorded, is it un-Scriptural? Christianity is not a textbook but a Personal relationship, personal, personal relationship, a time for talking and a time for listening. What do you think you will hear … something un-Scriptural? NOT! (Mat 6:6) But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly. Then, after our communion, we share it, if so ordered, that which the Lord has revealed to us. Not all things that Jesus did are expressed in the Scriptures: (Joh 21:25) Now there are also many other things that Jesus did. Were every one of them to be written, I suppose that the world itself could not contain the books that would be written. In addition, not all things the Lord God of Heaven does are in the Scriptures. One can miss heaven by 18 inches. Lovingly, Still Your Brother, eklektos |

Dearest Doctrinograce, Thank you very much for speaking for the entire forum. I am sure that all the participants have the same mind since you said so. Christ had the same problem with the Pharisees. I still love you and pray that you will see. All that has and ear, there is no malice here. eklektos |

Hello Hank, Thank you. My rebuttal came when someone posted the following: "Christian growth in our lives is not achieved by ecstatic moments at the altar. That is not the way God works in the life of the believer. --John MacArthur" Then I was told ecstatic experiences were not Scriptural. Act 10:10 And he became very hungry, and would have eaten: but while they made ready, he fell into a trance, Act 11:5 I was in the city of Joppa praying: and in a trance I saw a vision, A certain vessel descend, as it had been a great sheet, let down from heaven by four corners; and it came even to me: And this: Act 22:17 And it came to pass, that, when I was come again to Jerusalem, even while I prayed in the temple, I was in a trance; could be summarized as an ecstatic moment at the alter - reproving the words of John MacArthur. eklektos |

Hi Kalos, I must have missed something in a post or somewhere but I couldn't find where I ever denied the Scriptures. Permit me to re-read them. And I do understand the statement from your link. Assuredly, if we were to allow anything supernatural into the church who knows what would happen. 1Th 5:19 Quench not the Spirit. 1Th 5:20 Despise not prophesyings. Psa 77:12 I will meditate also of all thy work, and talk of thy doings. Your brother, eklektos |

Hi Pat, It is a blessing from our Lord that you have come to the forum. I will speak for me and our brother Mark that we bless the Lord for the opportunity to help in matters concerning the Majesty of Christ. God bless you in your quest for a closer walk with Him. There is no greater goal than coming to the throne of Grace. God will be with you in your studies. And thank you for your kind words. When you have some time, it would be a blessing if you would fill in more about yourself in your profile. Tell us about yourself and what the Lord has done for you in your life. We desire to hear the workings of the Lord and His Grace toward others. Your brother, eklektos |
