Ah!

So you believe that only a tiny fraction of Christians have been anointed with the Holy Spirit, correct?

So not a single Catholic in the world has been anointed with the Holy Spirit?

So, are all Protestants so anointed and therefore know the true meaning of Scripture, or only the Episcopalians?

Are baptists anointed or are they a cult too?

Are Nazarenes anointed, or Unitarians? Who?

Or only those who are born again evangelicals and who shun all denominations for a “pure” Christianity are the only anointed ones?

Just how tiny is your group of Holy Spirit anointed Christians who alone know the Truth while all of the rest of us are lost in ignorance?

Christians have not been “anointed” with the Holy Spirit.

ALL Christians have the indwelling presence of the Holy Spirit in them.

And Mormons are not Christians as they do not beliee in the Jesus of Scripture.

Catholics may be Chrisitan or maybe not.

Someone who is an Evangelical may be a Christian and maybe not.

But you are not comparing apples to apples there. It’s more like apples to broccoli to mushrooms.

The three that you chose are widely divergent in their worldview and what the basis of their belief system is.

Matthew 22:14 For many are called, but few are chosen.

Where did you get that nonsense. Of course there are but they don't stay long in that organization.

>>So, are all Protestants so anointed and therefore know the true meaning of Scripture, or only the Episcopalians?<<

Now what does denomination have to do with it? What an odd viewpoint.

>>Just how tiny is your group of Holy Spirit anointed Christians who alone know the Truth while all of the rest of us are lost in ignorance?<<

Interesting that you put yourself in with those who have not been indwelt by the Holy Spirit. I've met Spirit filled Christians who worship in many different groups. God isn't limited by some man made denomination or sect. Stop trying to confine Him to a box.

Only the saved have the indwelling Holy Spirit ....and that my friend is indeed a very small number of the people that have or will live in this earth

So not a single Catholic in the world has been anointed with the Holy Spirit?

Many Catholics, some right here on this forum,have been given the indwelling Holy Spirit... Once they begin to be taught by God ..they leave

So, are all Protestants so anointed and therefore know the true meaning of Scripture, or only the Episcopalians?

Catholics just do not get "it". ..There are saved and unsaved in Protestant churches ...This is not about being protestant.. it is about being born again
