Greetings Mark! You closed your post with the following: "All in all, to me it seems axiomatic that the Holy Spirit's written and spoken revelations will always bear each other out." I would certainly agree, but this presumes that: a) The person is telling the truth about their experience. b) The person really had an experience with the Holy Spirit. c) The person correctly understood said experience. There may be others, but the above observations are excellent examples for why Scripture must take priority over any 'claimed' experience. :-) As always, I enjoy your posts my friend! Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

My brothers, Here's some food for thought.I think we would all agree that feelings and experience are no gaurantee in and of themselves for truth. They are things that God has given us and are part of what makes us who we are. I heard this from a Pastor a number of years ago about someones experience with Holy Spirit and please bear with me here as this at best a rough paraphrase at best as it's been quite some time since I heard this.I'll put this in the form af a question- Someone speaks of The Holy Spirit doing something in thier life and we dont see where it has any scriptural standing but it doesnt contradict anytthing God has already established in the bible. What say we to this? I love you guys, lionheart |

3 | What say we? | John 3:16 | mark d seyler | 149763 | ||
Hi Lionheart, To repeat from an earlier post: Does it conform to the Word? (or at least not contradict) Does it glorify Jesus? Does it make me more like Jesus? Does it build up the body of Jesus? Yes answers to all of these go a long way towards my saying "Maybe, maybe, that was from the Lord." I was in an "afterglow" at church some time ago. A person said that they "saw" "raindrops, falling on the ocean, lit from within". Someone else gave an interpretation: "We, the people of God's light, are part of a mighty kingdom". There is absolutely nothing in the Bible I am aware of at all related to this. I felt closer to the people I was with, and closer to the Lord, and closer to heaven, so I received the blessing, and I have remembered this moment of blessing for over 20 years. But I am not going to build doctrine on it. I hope this helps! Love in Christ, Mark |

Thanx my brother for both posts, I wish more people had this attitude we would all be better off and a lot more unified and closer to God.I will never deny anyones experience in their walk with God,but as you said we dont build doctrine on it. It does help,it helps a lot. Always your brother in Christ, lionheart |
