Bible Note: Dear Pastor Floyd, The tone of your response is harsh to say the least, brother! My main contention with the phenomena of being "slain in the spirit" is that it is nowhere found in scripture! Can you show me otherwise? Personal experience is a poor basis for establishing Biblical doctrine! This "touch not mine anointed..." has been so overused and misused as to be almost meaningless.It reeks of spiritual superiority! Brother, we are ALL "anointed" according to 2 Cor. 1:21. I ask you "Have you ever poured anointing oil over a dead person and proclaim life into them by the Name of Jesus, and seen them rise from the dead?" I would find that extrememly difficult to believe- on the basis of only 8 Biblical examples of anyone dead being raised. Where is the normative scriptural warrant for this? As far as what I would like to see is sound biblical doctrine proclaimed. As Paul wrote in 2 Tim. 2:2 "preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort, with great patience and instruction." Brother, I have no qualms with your right to disagree. What I do take issue with is the manner in which you do so. To call fellow brothers 'deluded fools' and tell us that we "ought to be ashamed" of ourselves is simply not called for. "For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek." Rom. 1:16 Speaking The Truth In Love, BradK |
