Here is why I have never like this line "Nobody is perfect!" I think it was Unknown Warrior who brought this up but don't worry this is even mentioned by my own Catholic brethren themselves. ;(

Anyone can see from Scriptures that our Lord Jesus Christ encourages each & everyone of us to be born again. Period.

Sayings such as this runs contrary to His teachings as a result it changes the mind thinking it's ok to fall back into sin on the pretext that nobody is perfect. Hence it's normal to find that so many keeps repeating the same identical sin.

On the contrary Scripture says stop sining or something worse may happen to you. There are many more verses that can be use to substantiate it and I am sure many of you guys here knows it better than me.

Whether Catholics or Calvinist are false religion, it's not of my interest, for any religion that does not teach its followers to be born of the Spirit is a false religion.

Hi everyone,

Has anyone answered this question yet ?

Haven't you read the Sacred Scriptures that God is a living God and God only reveals Himself to those who are pure ?

What contradictions ? I suggest that if you're a Christian, find someone, a pastor who truly knows the Sacred Scriptures. If you're a Catholic, seek out Catholic priest then to explain what you do not understand & keep on asking until you understand everything that's in the Bible.

Question : "Are all believers empowered to do the same thing ?" ~ Cochran7

Answer : No, not all believers are empowered to do the same thing. Only those who are born of the Spirit are allowed to do things in which the specific gift has been given to by our Heavenly Father.

To Vrese

Question : Please explain what you meant by a "fake miracle", when you wrote earlier "This is the part where human could lie or just a fake miracle...."

TQ.

Hi ThomasThai,

The Giver of the gifts (Holy Spirit) NEVER contradicts His own written Word.

It's the people, who are not yet born of the Spirit that contradicts the Holy Bible all the time.

Lying just to be admitted into the Kingdom of Heaven, must be the most futile thing to do.

No worries, we are all learning.

Just that "fake miracle" never crossed my mind. Any miracle done in the Lord's name is worthy of praise, for that miracle was meant to heal.

As for a "fake miracle", I don't even want to go there. Pointless to begin with. But it's always good to be aware of the existence of such things but that would it, just for me. TQVM

sorry 2x post.

Hi Thomas Thai,

Thank you for clearing that up about the warning.

Its written in Holy Scriptures about false teachers. What is clear is that man cannot live on bread alone but every word that proceeds from the mouth of God. That energy or longing, if it cannot finds its rest in the Word of our Lord Jesus Christ, it will naturally seek something else to satisfy its desire.

Let me share with all, my real life experience with speaking in tongues before one of my in-law returned to our Lord.

Here's the simplified version.

It all begin with demonic possession and it was causing infrequent problems in the household especially after dark. Until I came face to face with the devil and managed to exorcised it out, after that my in-law and the household lived in peace.

Well, that peace was so short lived indeed, when my other half decided to invite the extended pious family member, who is well known for speaking in tongues for some praying over.

That very night after the praying over and speaking in tongues, the Devil returned with a real vengeance ! It was then, I immediately forbade anyone else to come near my in-law and I didn't care how well one is with the gift of speaking in tongues. That's where I had to put my foot down and draw that line.

By the time I had to officially write in for help (didn't know that a letter was supposed to be written at that time wherein all the while I was asking for help verbally !) and before help ever came, one of my in-law had returned to the Lord.

So if I had the chance to relive that very same encounter, you bet there ain't going to be any speaking of tongues whatsoever.

You are correct Girl on a Mission. The exorcism done was over 2 occasions by myself and my other half praying in at another location. There was peace from that ordeal from November onwards until this year's Chinese New Year, until the speaking of tongues was conducted. And I believed that the worst was over.

So what's written in the Scriptures is true, the evicted demon goes out and brings back even more violent demons, which explains the vengeance.

As it stands now, unless I understand every word that's mentioned during the speaking of tongues like my Holy Bible, speaking on tongues will not apply under any circumstances because I do not know for certain what and which 'spirit' is it that I am dealing with nor do I have the slightest intention of finding out whose who from the underworld.

I love what you did with the notification & snip, it makes reading online so much nicer instead of those useless scrolling repetitive stuffs. How did you do that, please ?

Most of it were alright in the beginning but as it went on & on something else appeared which doesn't sound right. Will sleep on it until something shows up cause I can't really put on my feet on it yet with 100% certainty especially with my limited understanding. Perhaps others can easily figure this one out.

Hi Mr Cee,

Surely you must have heard of the Scriptures which speaks about the good tree, the bad tree with their respective fruits. Or about testing of the Spirit ?

I would thread extremely cautiously under such circumstances, for it's better to be on the safe side that to err big time without even knowing it ! It would be perilous.

Yup I am still a Roman Catholic, wait a minute are you saying that RC's aren't allowed here ? I don't follow each post religiously that's all.

Your posting on Girl on a Mission thread on being born again did piqued my interest and after sleeping over it something prompted me to reply but unfortunately that thread vanished just like all previous thread on the Holy Spirit.

The dark side ? 😳🤣

Oh thank you. That's a relief.

Strange thing is that post #486 has stirred up a question. So what is being implied in there is that, once a follower decides to become a follower of our Lord Jesus Christ, that follower is automatically saved, guaranteed a place in heaven ? Am I right to assume that way ?

Now that leads to even more questions !!! Ha ha

OK back to the my earlier question, I would assume the answer to my question is a YES. If that's a yes, then why is it written in Scriptures that on Judgement Day, many will say “Lord, Lord! In your name we spoke God's message etc etc." Then I will say to them, "I never knew you. Get away from me you wicked people!"

Sorry for the 2x post.

NOTICE : About my earlier post of demonic possession, it was my mistake to say that the exorcism was by my effort & my other half. It also included the Spirit of God definately, and this was posted in some other thread probably less than 6 months ago. My mistake.
