Such a thorough explanation of the LDS teaching about the Holy Ghost; yet we've not gotten even a tiny bit of knowledge about what JS learned to be UNTRUE about PRESBYTERIANism...
(So sad...)
Yes, I understand that. But that doesn’t change 1) that you still have no way of knowing that it WAS the Holy Ghost, and 2) that an “unworthy” LDS person “loses” the “gift”, which makes God and indian giver.
The only time I heard that the HG “stopped by for a visit” was the “burning in the bosom” talked about in Moroni’s promise. A “promise” that is based on a circular logic and therefore false.
If you pray about the BOM, and don’t get a “burning in the bosom, the there MUST be something wrong with you, either you didn’t pray sincerely, or you didn’t have “real” faith in Christ. And the Mishies keep telling you exactly what you will feel. So a person, who doesn’t get the “burning”, will keep praying until they feel what they are supposed to feel.
Standard brainwashing tactic.
OH MY!!!! I had never seen the bulge one before!
The power can come upon one before baptism, and is the convincing witness that the gospel is true.

You know the drill by now
SCRIPTURE !!!!
From The Bible, please...
12 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.
Well the Church is still togather!
More powerful than that which is available before baptism, it acts as a cleansing agent to purify a person and sanctify him from all sin.

SCRIPTURE !!!!
That the Holy Ghost is sent to do that...
From The Bible, please...

We never said Satan didn’t have ANY power, of course he could keep his pet (the LDS church) around for a couple of hundred years.
But Christ has ALL power, and the Morg won’t stand forever.
It gives one a testimony of Jesus Christ and of his work and the work of his servants upon the earth.

And yet the Holy Ghost doesnt mention Joey Smith
or the book of mormon
or the so called restoration of anything...
or of dead dunking temple work...
Well the Church is still togather!

1 Thes. 1: 5
5 For our gospel came not unto you in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Ghost, and in much assurance; as ye know what manner of men we were among you for your sake.
You folks can deny and yammer all ya want!
...but to those who study the scripture earnestly will be greatly reward to understand more than the Tradition of Men ever allowed.
The Tradition of Men program the elevator to only to go to certain floors of the mind.
But when one is contrite and sincere with the Lord the Holy Spirit one is able to receive more than any learned Tradition!
you mean the mainstream have been fracture for 2000
Amen...the denigration of his people was also a regular occurence here by many evos, for many years, still some going on today apparently.
The Bible is quite clear on how such people should be dealt with
The Book of Jude spells it out very clearly. One example:
10 But these people scoff at things they do not understand. Like unthinking animals, they do whatever their instincts tell them, and so they bring about their own destruction. 11 What sorrow awaits them!
NewLand, I for one am glad you're here to help Jim Robinson identify these sleaze-balls, as you accurately state, to make FreeRepublic (and hence America and the Internet) a better place.
Many thanks WondrousCreation, certainly was not looking for that but you gave me further encouragement...even a Casablanca moment...i.e. when Victor Laslo (Paul Heinreid) tells Rick (Humphrey Bogart) "welcome back to the fight".
JimRob and team deserve the credit, they have kept FR a safe haven for loyal conservatives thru thick and thin for a dozen years now.
No lowly, small gang of evo-thugs is going to prevent FR from continuing to be the shining light of conservatism that it is.
“It does not take a church. God exists, Satan exists, You exist. There is a reason.”
And I believe all that. It’s the part about turning over judgment on what is of God and what is not to JR that makes it sound like FR is a church in your eyes.

Exactly...
That tradition of Joey Smith and other men called mormonism is useless...
You cant find God that way...
Jesus said to Resty and the mormons, “I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life. No man or woman comes to the Father except by me.” John 14:6
Those mainstream LDS dont like the fLDS do they ???
Even though the fLDS obey Joey Smith while the minstream LDS in Salt lake follow the traditions of men...

What do you think that means ???
Wrong thing to say about the founder of the site.
IATZ, I see.
He doesn’t need to leave anymore.
So are the MUSLIMs; and MJUCH longer, too!
Therefore they must be MORE RIGHT than MORMONS!!
