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 |
