I take it, Pastor, you are Charismatic? How long have you been persuaded this the way for you to go in? Are you a young person, old, a convert from something? If so what? Been saved long? I'm curious, when one speaks from experience, as to how much they have. I'm 65. I've been in this thing most all my life. Was christened in the conv. Meth. church and attended regularly. At 10 I was born again, as best I knew, into Christ in a small Pentecostal church. Then lived a yo-yo Christian life in and out of Christ for many years. That was due mainly, I'm beginning to believe, as a result of convoluted, mixed up, unascertained doctrine that most everyone who preached had a different slant which never produced the intented fruit in addition to a strong willed life I possessed, some say I still do but now it's redirected, so to speak. Finally when, "in the fullness of God's timing", He finally really got a hold of me and then I Began to see some things about somethings/inconsistancies that had bothered me for years and that were a hinderance to my spiritual growth when I was younger. I've wrestled with these many issues to arrive at where I am presently with the help of the Holy Spirit and some good teaching. Much adjustment has been made to bring about an intensity for knowing the Father as I never supposed could or would happen. You see, intimacy with Him is the prime thing every Born Again individual is purposed by Him to "step into" by taking the YOKE of Christ and be lead by Him. Jesus said: "When you seek me with all your heart you'll find me". He said this to His followers. When that is seen in the proper light of Christ, as it pertains to living in the Kingdom of God, everything else we seek for ourselves will pale. His YOKE will reveal the "Pearl of Great Price". You'll sell all to gain it. I've seen the god, bad, and the ugly so nothing you say is going to surprise me. FWIW, I've been bounced from a few Charimatic churchs. I flatly refuse to go to most. So our discussions could get alittle testy. |

No they won't because I refuse to get drawn into an arguement concerning the doctrines and interpretations of men. I come from a Mormon background and believe me, they can argue doctrines from early morning until the sun goes down and still not say anything worth hearing. You'rea little older than me and I will concede to your knowledge. I have my beliefs and you have yours. I will not infringe mine on you anymore because I think that will only cause hard feelings between us. I do not want that. So, I thank you for the info I have received from you. |

"No they won't because I refuse to get drawn into an arguement concerning the doctrines and interpretations of men." Believe me, if anyone has drawn you into any discussion it has been you and then you, again but having to defend yourself for speaking a doctrine of man as opposed to that of God. Charismania will do that, you know. Have you ever wondered why ALL the glitz "Charismatic" preachers on TV, plead for money while they live sumptously? Something about Matt 7.23 rings true when I witness that. |

God said, "Touch not my anointed." I know we have gone through this before but I have a fear of God and will not do that. | ||||||

'Anointed' needs to be defined a little better here especially when we are to also try the spirits to see if they are of God; 1 John 4.1. | ||||||
