God does not only hold you accountable for what you TEACH but for EVERY word you Utter EVER on this forums, to people around you, under your breathe when no one is around.

this is not only for Teachers, but for christians and nonchristians alike:

Matthew 12:36-37
New King James Version (NKJV)
36 But I say to you that for every idle word men may speak, they will give account of it in the day of judgment. 37 For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned.”


God judges you according to your words. but by grace of God we are saved not by our words or by our actions but only by Jesus imputed righteousness.

I have never stated if you are a prophet or not, just pointed out that your words are not in line with God's Written words or they are vague and not directed at anyone in particular.

So you said Elizabeth will be baptized in the Holy Spirit in 2 days, if that doesn't happen what will you do?

Repent and ask for God's forgiveness or continue in self justification and delusions?

who tells you that you are a prophet?

if you wish I can tell you why they probably do.

People have told me I'm a prophetess but I count it as nothing.
the only One who can say such things is GOD and His justification is the only one I seek
which can not be obtained by my works but by my faith in Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior.

What do you seek Johnathon?

The prophecy to Elizabeth said she had to ask, which means she would have to believe in the Baptism of the Holy Spirit and ask for it. She can't really ask if she doesn't believe in Baptism of the Holy Spirit. I don't believe the prophecy said 2 days, I don't know where you get that. I believe if she ask, she will recieve the Baptism. I don't know how you plan to prove she asked God. No one knows but her if she really asked God.
Another prophet knows I am a prophet; he is not on this chat site. My wife believes in prophets and believes me. And believe it or not alot of people on here might believe.
It's not a suprise to people who are Pentecostal that people can speak in the Holy Spirit. We believe in messages from God in tongues and interpretation. I believe you never heard God talk to you through someone. We see it happen all the time. We believe it. We teach it. You can hear God talk through someone! Since I was a child in Church people would speak in tongues and someone would give the interpretation in English. We believe it is God who is speaking.

A few people do believe I am a prophet. Do you think you have the Holy Spirit more than they do? Why would the Spirit be saying I am not a prophet to you and not to them. They believe me.
Could you put aside the gift you believe you have and be a Spirit-filled believer, glorify God and lay your life down for the brethren in the will of God? Or do you need that gift to be able to function as a believer in the church?

so Johnathon can you answer these questions?

3. Do we need prophets to reveal God's will to us when we have the spirit of Christ within us?
4. Do we need prophets to edify us when we have Christ's church?
5. Do we need prophets to teach us how to love God when we have been buried with Christ and redeemed by His precious blood?
What makes you think you are a prophet of God?


these are mine:

Who did God send you to?

What is your message?

What signs did God give you to convince the disbelieving masses that you are sent by HIM?

Do your display the fruits of the Spirit?

Have you ever spoken a false word and said it was from God?

Have you ever spoken out of anger and from your own flesh?

What is the purpose of a prophet?

Has it changed since OT, NT, and now? If yes, why?

how would you advice a child of God to recognize false prophets?

How would you lead a lost soul to the knowledge of Christ as Lord and Savior?

do you have visions and dreams from God?

How does God speak to you?

do you believe the Bible is the authoritative word of God?

What does the Sword of the Spirit mean to you?

Do you believe in angels and demons?

Have you had any encounters with the spirit realm?

what is the difference between prophecy and prophets?

I have always believed that a prophet will be known more by what he/she does than by what he/she says.

It's dangerous to believe that if you receive the HS YOU HAVE to speak in tongues. It's not a requirement and this could discourage people who already received the HS.

it is a very dangerous thing.

so is using the phrase "thus saith the Lord" when the Lord did not speak those words.

If you have receive the Holy Spirit then God will testify that you are His child and teach you and guide you and chastens you when you walk astray.

I just posted this on another thread so I'll be short. Recieving the Holy Spirit happens when we are saved. John 14:17 John 20:22 The Apostles recieved the Holy Spirit(only the saved can receive) before Pentecost. They received the Baptism of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost. Receiving the Holy Spirit for salvation and receiving the Baptism of the Holy Spirit are two differnt events. They received the Holy Spirit in John 20:22 and recieved the Baptism of the Holy Spirit with speaking in tongues in Acts 2. Also see Acts 10 for other people who spoke in tongues.

Baptism of the HS and gifts which result from this.. which is a false use of what this baptism is. He orders believers to get something that has already happened to them. If one does not know this. They could not be from God. this is the basic teaching of the Gospel.
Yiou teach falsely and then accuse those that believe the bible of believing a false doctrine thereby nullifying them from the office of a Prophet....weird.

your wrong. One can not recieve the HS on a permanent basis until they are saved. One can not be saved unless they are made clean and placed into the church. This is what happens at the baptism of the spirit.

And you wonder why people call you a false prophet? you can't even interpret the word of God right!!

is being placed in an insane asylum one of them?

I'm not claiming to be an apostle, just a prophet. So far I have been picked up by the police for tring to preach the gospel on the street. I was put in the mental hospital for claiming to be a prophet. And I had my face broken for preaching to someone who was violent. Thank God they put my nose back on. They let me go home from the mental hospital, I still claim to be a prophet. And I think I know a church where I can street preach in the future and not be picked up by the police. That's all just one year of being a prophet.

again I ask why do you not preach in front of your church?
why do you seek to preach in front of others?
what church do you belong to? they told you were a prophet?


Another prophet knows I am a prophet; he is not on this chat site. My wife believes in prophets and believes me. And believe it or not alot of people on here might believe.

Since I was a child in Church people would speak in tongues and someone would give the interpretation in English. We believe it is God who is speaking.


why didn't your church members/elders/ deacons stand up for you and tell the people in the hospital you really were a prophet?

You don't have to be the speaker to prophesy or do tongues in interpretation in a Pentecostal Church. They would let you do it from the pews. You also didn't have to be the speaker in the Bible. 1 Corinthians 14:29-31 "Let the prophets speak two or three, and let the other judge. 30 If any thing be revealed to another that 'sitteth' by, let the first hold his peace. 31 For ye all prophesy one by one, that all may learn, and all may be comforted." You can be 'sitting' by and still give a prophecy. Tongues and interpretation is mentioned right before this in 1 Corinthians 14:27 "If any man speak in an unknown tongue, let it be by two, or at the most by three, and by course; and let one interpret. 28 But if there be no interpreter, let him keep silence in the church; and let him speak to himself, and to God."

In the beginning of Christ's ministry, one of the first things He said was, "Follow Me........

What are (present tense) the words He spoke immediately after, "Follow Me


In another Gospel, in the beginning of Christ's ministry, Jesus said, "Repent!.......

What are the words He spoke immediately after, "Repent!.........

There's a lot to being said about a prophet, but there's a lot being done by those who follow Jesus.

I think you enjoy the attention your getting. You kind of remind me of a guy on "Big Bang Theory"

I'm not kidd'n, he's actually a pretty good actor.

My church never heard I was in the mental hospital for claiming to be a prophet and I wasn't there for very long. It wasn't on the news or anything that I know of. So it's not that sort of thing.

I believe it's suprising to see that so many people on Christian Chat are trying to teach. Do you realize that that is only one step away from a prophet? 1 Corinthians 12:28 "And God hath set some in the Church, first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers..." With all the talk about Apostles and Prophets I think we have overlooked the office of teacher, which is what most people on Christian Chat are trying to do.
1. Do you believe that there are real teachers who are third on Christian Chat?
2. Do you believe that people should try to teach as Christians?
Jesus said this:

But you are not to be called rabbi, for you have one teacher, and you are all brethren. Matt 23:8 RSV
