Quix thinks he can determine who has the anointing. But he refuses to specify who has the anointing, or explain how it is that he determines who has the anointing. That is why it seems to me that he is part of some "secret club", because he won't reveal who are its members, and how one gets to be in the club, or how one determines who is "in" the club.

I think it's well known and understood that the computer chip analogy was a GENERIC ANALOGY.
All of us have greater or lesser understandings about this or that specific about Christianity. I normally don't consider that a big deal.
Oh, I have the capacity to stamp my feet, throw dust in the air and MAKE A BIG DEAL about all kinds of things in Christianity and all kinds of 'angels dancing on pin-head' issues. Doesn't seem fruitful to me.
I haven't been overwhelmingly aware of word choices or attitudes which connoted to me an earnest desire to understand my position.
I may not be wise. But I wasn't born yesterday, either.
I'm really sorry that you were offended by anything I've said. I was wrong to assume, and I believe that quix was giving an analogy, not intending to insult you.
..or explain how it is that he determines who has the anointing. That is why it seems to me that he is part of some "secret club", because he won't reveal who are its members, and how one gets to be in the club, or how one determines who is "in" the club.
It's hard to take you seriously when you talk about secret clubs and membership. Being a spirit-filled, SURRENDERED Christion is not a club. It's not how you're bred, or what church you attend, or who your preacher is. IT's between you and the Lord. Many people are annointed at many different times. Nobody has a "I'm the annointed one" membership card.
Maybe instead of bantering back and forth with quix for your answer, which you won't find here; you can earnestly seek God about this. Only He can show you the truth about His annointing. (And please don't come back with "How do you know I don't already earnestly seek God about this?" as the line of your questions have gone.)
(I'm going to presume, again, that you really don't understand "the annointing" because of the way you've questioned and constantly put the words in parentheses, like it's something we made up .. forgive me if I'm wrong. But just in case..) Try praying something like: Father God, I'm so incredibly curious about this annointing that quix talks about. Father, forgive me if I've in any way offended You in reference to Your mighty gifts and awesome powers. It's about You, Father, not me. Help me to know You in a supernatural way. Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Show me those areas in my life that I need to surrender more of to You. Father, I surrender all doubts, preconceived notions, and any thoughts that aren't in obedience with what You desire to work out in my life for YOUR glory. Father, I want Your Best for me, whatever that means, however that looks. Like that father whose son was healed (Mark 9), I say to you, "I do believe, help me overcome my unbelief." I just bless You and praise You with my whole being. Thank you for your Son, who is the bridge between You and I. Thank you for the Holy Spirit, who woos us, leads, and guides us. I just love you, Lord. In Jesus' Holy precious name. Amen.
Adaireton8, with all seriousness, if you are truly interested in the supernatural annointing of our Lord, go to HIM, with it. Use your own words, but be HONEST with Him. He loves You and will honor your GENUINE, no strings attached, longing to know him in a more supernatural way.
I'll be praying with you that you find your answers!
I didn't see which post where Quix referenced a 'computer chip', but an interesting analogy has been made by some dispenationalists regarding predestination and election back in the '80s. Some described the 'computer of divine decrees' as being composed of two computer chips. Predestination as a ROM chip and election as a PROM chip.
The ROM chip having been programmed by God's Will or Sovereignty. The PROM chip was programmed by God's omniscience and is man's free will.
Predestination and election are merely printouts of those chips.
Our motivation, volition and mental attitude are only produced by our soul and not interfered by God,..by His design and His plan.
Accordingly, being a computer chip isn't always that bad of thing, considering who did the original programming.
