Subject: What is "slain in the spirit"? |
Bible Note: Kalos, you deserve to have the attention of Forum readers drawn to your Posts 158253 and 158255. Every reader of SBF should read these posts carefully, in which you use credible resource materials that debunk the totally unscriptural practice of being "slain in the Spirit" and the mountebanks who promulgate it. These people are not preaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ; they are circus clowns. Yet they are able to deceive people by the thousands while lining their own pockets with millions of dollars bilked from the very people whom they lead astray. They are fakes, charltans, merchants of spiritual snake oil. ...... The Forum since near its beginning has played host to believers in and defenders of this "slain-in-the-Spirit" nonsense, and they still show up now and then. To counterbalance and refute this heresy, the Forum is blessed to have faithful long-time registrants such as yourself who are not afraid to challenge and rebuke false teachers and false teaching and meet both these enemies of the gospel head-on with the truth of Scripture. ..... Thank you, Kalos, dear friend and brother in Christ. And I'm convinced that many other Forum users also thank you and appreciate your untiring efforts over the years as much as I do. Your excellent contributions to the Forum are nothing short of monumental. You richly deserve a word of thanks and appreciation. Without solid heralds of truth such as you, this Forum would not have survived. --Hank |
