Have you ever seen a counterfeit 3 and a quarter dollar bill (could be pound, euro, whatever)?The obvious answer is NO! Absolutely NOT! Because there is no such thing as a real 3 and a quarter dollar bill. So if it is not heartbreakingly obvious let me attempt to make it so: The Roman Catholic FALSE Religion MUST counterfeit (abuse is another word) something that is true and twist and pervert it, until it is such a well crafted lie, it deceives and enslaves sincere Catholic people and thoroughly sinful men to where they will absolutely love it because the lie deceives them they can have heaven and their sin (unless they leave Catholicism for the truth, they hate the Truth), and still enjoy their rebellion against the authority of God to be God as God in their lives and even better imagine they have power over God through THEIR religion, "his mama", priests, Popes and sacraments |

Dave wrote: Tracking down laws regarding street preaching and I the first site that popped up was "how to street preach and stay outta jail" I think this was in regards to the US. :-) Anyhow it all boils down to local by-laws, in Australia there is as best as I can determine atm no law governing free speech (no provisions ) but due too discrimination laws it (street witnessing ,preaching bad choice of word on my behalf ) is legal , as I shouldn't be discriminated against because of my views on religion. Well I'll see what transpires. Dave in OZ We prayed for you and those who hear you, and I will continue to keep you and all this in my praying.Just a brief word about police if I may. Seek as much as possible to build a good as repectful relationship with them as possible. When they have come up to me. I stop my preaching and ask them, 'How can I help you?' and then be honestly as cooperative as possible when they ask me things like: What is your name? Where are you from, where do you live? Are you a member of a local church?? (and if something happens you might get questions like) Can you describe the man who broke the window on the abortion clinic door? Do you know where he went? Can you fill out a statement for us? |

Dave wrote: John , mike I'm going to .this week. Witness in public anyway Dave In Sunday School we are going through Evangelism in the New Testament by Jon Speed who is on Babies Are Murdered Here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dxDyfSHEq5gTrusting in God here, we will pray for you AND the people God leads you to speak to in church this morning If I might suggest prayerfully look up open air preaching on YouTube. There will be all sorts of types both good and bad and from them let the Lord cull from them and impress on you, what kind of attitude, content, location, interaction with people, loudness of voice you can in good conscience before Him be about (and especially trust Romans 8:28 to be so real for the child of God, because none of us does open air perfectly and we don't have to when God uses our efforts to serve Him) Know this: Open Air Preaching gets people off the fence; some you would imagine will hate you will love you, some you imagine would be pleased will thoroughly disagree with you and not like it at all. Pastor Greg Locke makes a point that is important even if some seemingly reject us, if they keep listening over time (days, weeks, years) God's word will do the work He sends it to do in their lives |

nat wrote: We do need the power of the holy spirit to be effective witnesses. It's so important especially now.I was speaking to a friend who read a testimony of an ex witch and she shared how they would send people in infiltrate church and seduce the elders.they would fake their spiritual gifts and encourage others to do the same. So that it was about the look not what was inside. And so you get an empty hypocritical shell of Christianity within the church and it would fall apart as it is not based on Christ and Christ is not the Centre. Let us always keep Christ on the throne in our hearts! nat in OZ and any other dear Pentecostal friends here.nat has touched on something enormously important; spiritual gifts can be counterfeited / imitated And the counterfeits can be used by Satan to infiltrate churches and ruin them from the inside If memory serves me there is a propaganda piece/book, 'They Speak With Other Tongues' to accept RCs as genuine Christians (which they are NOT) because they spoke in tongues (with increased devotion to 'mary' and things Catholic) And it is not just tongues that Satan abuses to slide corruption in On PURPOSE into church Augustine? Narnia? Music? Midnight Mass? oos |

seen it right off wrote: There is no system in place to disciple Baptist churches.Baptist should look into the Presbyterian form of government, of which I am now ????. Seen I can well identify with the frustation of those seeing the sin and corruption in churches looking for a form of church government to fix things.imho church governments fail because men don't fear God. We need the ministry of Prophets in our churches once again. I do not mean "fortune tellers" but men on fire for God like OT Prophets who continually proclaimed the Law of God to the people, urged men to obey God and warned of the consequences if they didn't Think about it, many a man will be comfortable with this or that form of church government (even ones that become tyrannical) but how many of us honestly want the blistering ministry of the genuine prophet of God who exposes our own hypocrisy and enmity against God in our attitudes, values and behavior and gets us off our self-righteous fences (excuses / comforts) to where we either repent and humbly return to a real obedience to God in our faith (ex real praying, real soul winning, real standing up and contending for the faith)? Would we listen? willingly? humbly? and most importantly: obediently? |

Really wrote: I was simply looking for a verse where Paul says what you say he says. the context in 1 Cor 14 shows Paul prayed in the Spirit (unknown tongues) and he also prayed with the understandingGot an errand to run Sorry, I missunderstood your question For me and what I try to encourage others in is that the context will help / show us what the words me far better than tearing them apart with definitions that fit our feelings (or prejudices) thanks 1 Cor 14:9-15 So likewise ye, except ye utter by the tongue words easy to be understood, how shall it be known what is spoken? for ye shall speak into the air. There are, it may be, so many kinds of voices in the world, and none of them is without signification. 11 Therefore if I know not the meaning of the voice, I shall be unto him that speaketh a barbarian, and he that speaketh shall be a barbarian unto me. 12 Even so ye, forasmuch as ye are zealous of spiritual gifts, seek that ye may excel to the edifying of the church. 13 Wherefore let him that speaketh in an unknown tongue pray that he may interpret. For if I pray in an unknown tongue, my spirit prayeth, but my understanding is unfruitful. What is it then? I will pray with the spirit, and I will pray with the understanding |

Frank wrote: Now since you praised her Frank I hope you appreciate I am so in the learning process and am trying (imperfectly) to give a measure of honest sincere appreciation to flawed imperfect human beings who are trying to do the right thing.For me I feel there is a difference between weakness (and ignorance) and out and out wilfull knowledgeable evil and determined wickedness AND at the present I would rather be pray for as President an imperfect Carly F than a determined enemy of God like Hilary C. Here is where I am at. It is always the will of God that we love our enemies (friends too) and pray for them, that they be saved and become truly obedient to the Lord Jesus Christ. It is always the will of God that we seek Him with all our heart and sanctify God in our hearts to have rightful preeminence above all others (to be our fist love, our very reason for being and living) To get back to the thread right now this (I hate to use the word) "church" in the news is our enemy and worse is an enemy of Christ. We need to pray and interceed for them, to love them with the love of Christ, NOT whitewash their sin, and Neither delight they will perish in hell or turn our head and act like that doesn't matter. So much to learn. |

Frank wrote: Carly Fiorina is simply a Sarah Palin with a brain. That makes her much more dangerous by the way. I hope and pray she isn't successful. Frank I am watching with interest the politics of the upcoming elections. Humanly Speaking I pretty much like many very IMPERFECT and FLAWED people (Oops they might be very much like me, and need the Lord Jesus Christ every bit as much as I needed and still need Him)Here is why I am watching "politics" ... it tells me a lot about where people are coming from, helping me in communicating the Gospel of Christ to them in words they can get ahold of. CF's quote seemed like a starting point', a parallel if you will, to address us as Christians to how serious the fight we are in is. Politicans are infamous for gripping about the other guy and at the same time unwilling to fight for what is right ... kind of like "church" people. I trust that God is sovereign and can use imperfect and flawed people in government for our good, or for the consequences our sins deserve. Sorry to ramble so much. Please do vote for whoever you feel led to and I'll do the best to do the same myself. Love you brother |

Really wrote: Where does Paul say this? Really really? I tell you what if you really want to know look it up for yourself Please I am seeking to be kind to you because if I tell you that is nothing, well maybe a little something, but if God tells you than that is SOMETHING and that ought to means so much more to you.

Mike wrote: I agree, Michael. I'm just wondering how speaking to God in a closet, in an unknown language, without an interpreter to tell him what he was saying, is what Paul meant? ContextMike In my humble observation the way out of debating the Holy Ghost and in entering into the experiential knowing of Him and His present day minsitry is in getting to know Him, in seeking Him, in desiring Him and His ministry in our lives. He after all lives whether we like it our not lives in evey born again believer Again for the child of God, He is our greatest ally in living for Jesus Christ, the best friend we could every have in having and living in genuine Biblical faith I believe there is an aspect to our faith the Holy Ghost knows far better than we do, "We must get to Jesus at all costs!" |

Mike wrote: Matthew 6:6 "But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly." If you're speaking to God in private, as we are informed we should, it should be clear there is no need to use any but your own language. Really? 1 Cor 14 18 I thank my God, I speak with tongues more than ye all: 19 Yet in the church I had rather speak five words with my understanding, that by my voice I might teach others also, than ten thousand words in an unknown tongue.Did Paul get it wrong? In private he apparently prayed in an unknown tongue. PLEASE DO NOT MISSUNDERSTAND ME. I am not posting to say you need to speak in other tongues. I am posting to say once agains ALL OF US DESPERATELY NEED the Present Day MINISTRY of the PERSON of the HOLY GHOST, His Power, AND HIS GIFTS as He sees fit to give them in our lives, in every part of them, not just Church on Sunday morning. editting We should treat the Holy Ghost, as our greatest Ally and the very best Friend we could ever have in living for Jesus Chirst (not somekind of distant relative we just talk about like He is not even in the room) |

nat wrote: I'm not arguing the necessity of tongues. nat in OZ Quite the "discussion" going on. imho the bottom line whether men like it or not is: We desperately need the PERSON of the HOLY GHOST, His indwelling (new birth / regeneration, sealing as belonging to Jesus Christ), His filling and His present day ministry in the life of a child of God (He will teach us, lead us, empower us to glorify Jesus Christ and be about the will of God, our Father in our lives). We do NOT need the traditions and what appear to be the so scholarly teachings of men that sabotage genuine Bilbical experiencial faith mishandling the word of God (wilfully or unintentionally) because of the prejudice of men against the Supernatural (natural men do NOT accept the things of the Spirit of God and cannot know them if they are not first born again of the Spirit, see John 3) story: I had an old timey Pentecostal man ask, 'Are you trying to get to heaven?' And I missunderstood him at first. He wasn't talking about salvation, He was talking about pursuing the fullness of God, the kingdom of God, the Righteous, Peace and Joy, the power of God in prayer and soul winning, and for victory in spiritual battles. Be blessed in Seeking God in His fulness |
