I knew you were gonna try to explain it all away. No dice.

Really? You read my mind? And yet in knowing what you think you did, you didn't give an explanation good enough to cover it?

Combined that with the fact that you don't have a denomination or wish to keep it secret, and that you give no explantion why indwelling of the Holy Spirit is different from the Holy Spirit 'knocking' on your hearts door, makes your postings very weak in substance, IMO.

If you really want your posts to be taken seriously, you would do yourself a favor by being open to your denomination and respond with more then "I knew you'd explain it away. Nope, you're wrong."

I anticipated your response, which was to explain to me why, despite my experience to the contrary, the Holy Spirit didn't really come to me before I believed in Jesus.

And yet in knowing what you think you did, you didn't give an explanation good enough to cover it?

It was a conscious decision, based on the fact that it's a waste of time to argue with a fellow whose position boils down to, "who are you gonna believe, me or your lyin' eyes?" And, as expected, that was precisely how you responded. Why waste my time with that?

Combined that with the fact that you don't have a denomination or wish to keep it secret...

Ah, the perils of making false and scurrilous accusations without reading ahead. It's never been a secret, and although it's completely irrelevant to the topic of the thread, I finally "confessed" to being a traditional Anglican above.

and that you give no explantion why indwelling of the Holy Spirit is different from the Holy Spirit 'knocking' on your hearts door, makes your postings very weak in substance, IMO

Ah, yes. So you're setting yourself up as the Reformed version of a Scientology Auditor, to gauge the accuracy and correctness of my conversion experience. That's a step up from "high inquisitor." Much higher-tech.
