1. I suppose it’s interesting, if the purpose is to cause unnecessary trouble and division.
2. James Robison has had and continues to have a powerful miraculous ministry since Holy Spirit apprehended him in a profound way and altered his theology. Evidently the naysayers would have thousands, if not millions of folks turn their healings and deliverances back in and suffer in silence.
3. Roman Catholic Charismatic groups also have experienced the current powerful demonstrations of Holy Spirit being alive and well in the earth today.
4. Thankfully that’s true. Man has not changed. Satan and his goals, strategies and evil devastations in the lives of man has not changed. Thankfully, God Holy Spirit has not changed either.
5. The idiocy that Holy Spirit pulled up shop and went home when John ran out of ink at the end of Revelation is utter irrational nonsense.
I like this one.
Though I grew up Baptist (general baptist) and now attend a non denominational church (an in your face, this is what the word says, take it or leave it)
I have friends who are pentecostal and celebrate Easter, Thanksgiving an Christmas with them. It is an absolute joy to celebrate these holidays with them, as one they ARE like family, but also the joy over the holidays and what they represent is real.
Perry Stone is one of my favorite people on TV to watch, and when I see Manna Fest is going to be on I usually put it on. Which means I hear most of his messages oover the course of a few weeks, twice at the minimum, but on average 3 times sometimes 4. Because of Perry and his teachings about ancient Israel, history, and traditions, I have an interest to know MORE about our Jewish roots. To understand the Jewish holidays that God set forth. To understand more of the ancient traditions to better understand what and why the Bible says what it says.
James Robison is someone I have recently gotten to enjoy more. I think I RESPECT him more than any of the other "charismatic" preachers. There is someone who seems very humble.
Of course, there are some charismatic preachers on tv who I can't change the channel fast enough. But then there are some non charismatics I feel the same way about.
My prayer is that God would lead me and fill me and show me HIS way. I have no interest in MANS knowledge.
Thank you for sharing your insights, dear brother in Christ!
I once heard it said when the question was asked, “What is the greatest Spiritual gift”?
The reply, “The greatest Spiritual gift is the one that God uses at one particular moment to minister to an individual”.
Brother, the presence of Charismatic fellowships in the RCC in the Philippines is so huge the priests are shaking in their boots (perhaps by another spirit).
Some of the RCC "anti-defamation" party which posts on FR are not familiar with Catholicism in many other countries. If they were to spend more than twelve weeks in the Philippines. for example, and really ask pertinent questions there about what they practice and why, they would then realize that Catholicism is not very Catholic at all.
Most are looking at Catholicism only from the USA context.
“Holy Spirit has not changed either.” Good point
