Yes, but only within the confines of the Holy Word of God. You want proof just look at your pope that was selected according to the unholy spirit of your church that proclaims his infallibility. That happened outside Scripture and according the the word and tradition of man and we see just how that has worked out.

You can't pull rank on God.

It doesn't matter if it goes against your denomination's stompy-foot insistence, either.

Didja notice I referred to Catholic nuns as well as out-and-out Pentecostals?

The point is obeying Him (left out for the moment is whether it happens to be the Father, or the Son, or the Spirit, in any particular case, as they all outrank me. As well as any and all denominations.) Also, since 1 John says believe not EVERY spirit, that implies that there are spirits who you're *supposed* to believe. Presumably, that'd be angels ("messengers"), who for some reason, He sometimes sends either to give a message, or to protect, or strengthen.

As far as the selection of Francis the Commie mole...

It also (according to a couple of other posters on this thread) violated established Canon Law.

There are a couple of pre-existing prophecies within the Catholic sphere, which are given differing amounts of credibility (Third prophecy of Fatima, IIRC), as well as a revelation to one of the earlier popes in the late 1800s...that make me not too surprised about Francis the Commie mole; and the lavender mafia in the Vatican.

Things that make you go hmmmmm.

“You can’t pull rank on God.”
That’s all you can say... well I guess when you haven’t a leg to stand on that’s the standard answer.

“denomination’s stompy-foot insistence, either.”

I don’t have a denomination I have a personal relationship with God the Father through His Son Jesus Christ. I’ll leave the denominational stuff to you cult types you all are much better at it.

“Also, since 1 John says believe not EVERY spirit, that implies that there are spirits who you’re *supposed* to believe.”

Yes if it is within the already established Word of God not a new made up doctrine such as the worship of dead saints or Mary.

You believe Fatima was a genuine visitation by the Mother of Jesus? LOL explains a lot of your ramblings and insults.

HMMMmmm…

I; for one; would like to see the charges (and evidence) against this man Francis and those who elected him.

(Is any one besides me getting tired of all this IMPEACH HIM!! talk directed against the pope?

Either do something or come out of the bathroom.)

*stompy foot*?

You’re using that again?

It was juvenile the first time you used it and it still is.

How old are you anyways?
