I said nothing about sin. Sin is wrong and of course when you see someone in sin it is your duty to point it out to them. What we are talking about is someone doing something that we suspect is nothing more that flesh, unless your 100 percent sure it is flesh you better keep your mouth shut, otherwise you may find yourself opposing God. that is all I'm saying. While in can find not scriptural evidence supporting being "slain in the spirit" neither can I find any that says it is wrong. While I can and do believe it has happened in cases and is authentic, I also believe much that goes on in the church today is nothing but flesh. However God did not make me the fruit inspector. I a person goes down and it is God, Praise God! In like turn if someone goes down and it is nothing more than to be seen, then God will deal with that. If I had a way to tell it was flesh then I would certainly speak to the person but God in his majesty has not seen fit to give me this ability. I have been in church and people have given messages in tongues that I have had confirmed in my spirit to be nothing more than flesh, at that point I spoke up and called it as I saw it. “There’ you apparently do not care for being “slain in the spirit’ and that is fine, I would then suggest you find a church that holds a similar view. But to say it is of Satan when in fact you have no way of determining that puts you in the same position of the Pharisees when they called what the disciples were doing heresy. If you can prove by the Bible that something is heresy then don’t mince words say it. However if it is something that doesn’t go against what the Bible teaches, even though you don’t care for it, don’t call it wrong. Let God judge the motives and let yourself be found righteous. |

Hi EdB, I'm glad to hear that you stand up when it counts. I say that sincerely. As to what you call my pharisetical tendencies, I'm not even sure that I said it WAS of the devil, but I do think it is possible. And apparently you do not think that could even be a possibility by your reaction. And I don't think I necessarily have to prove that the Word speaks against it to recognize that it is not biblical teaching or practice. |

There- I think what we are speaking about is a term. A group of words that people put together to denote an experience that has happened in the bible, but is not called by that term. You do agree that when God manefests Himself, or touches a believer in a special way, they know it right? We do have examples of this in the Bible. Falling was often a part of it - forward or backward, I think that is getting picky, the fact is their strength left them. Whenever you come into contact with the HOly of Holies in an intimate way, can you stand there and not be affected? As far as the possibility of it being from the devil, I can say, from my limited experience (I am from a small church) that I have not seen any proof that it was. I have seen what I think is flesh in some instances. But because of these cases, again I ask, should the whole thing be thrown out? Because some people overeat on food, should we get rid of eating? Even following God can be abused by neglecting family or responsiblity. I don't believe Ed or I have been trying to get you to become Pentecostal. I myself believe that I derive more power from the practices to do the Lord's work and bring me closeer to Him. If someone else doesn't believe this way - so be it. As long as you are growing in the Lord and have given your heart and life to Him. That is the main issue. There are always going to be points that fellow believers do not agree with. We will get the answers when we see Him face to face, and it won't make any difference then, anyway. God's peace. Debbie |
