Subject: What is a "spiritual" act? |
Bible Note: Hi acm, I don’t like to mention any names as such I was just speaking in general terms the way Paul did. Titus 1:10-11 For there are many unruly and vain talkers and deceivers, specially they of the circumcision: 11Whose mouths must be stopped, who subvert whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for filthy lucre's sake. There must have been spiritual actors in Paul’s time as well. Galatians 1:6-9 I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel: 7Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ. 8But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. 9As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed. If I were going to speak in generalities the way Paul did I would probably suggest most of the TBN showman bunch that stand on their experiences and feelings more then sound Bible doctrine. 1 Thes. 5:21 Prove all things; hold fast that which is good. Then there is the ploy where they start marching around the stage and shouting and rolling their eyes heavenward, that always an attention getter. Or they may expound on the personal revelation that God spoke to them as though they are something extra special. They seem to always get a better connection and a clearer understanding when people send in more money. Acts 20:28-31 Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood. 29For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock. 30Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them. 31Therefore watch, and remember, that by the space of three years I ceased not to warn every one night and day with tears. There are many precious believers that fall for that kind of stuff and even after being warned. Ephes. 4:14 That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive; 2 Tim. 2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. Have a great day, CDBJ |
