Heart knowledge...verse please?

Heart knowledge,is when the Holy Spirit leads you through scripture,He is the only one who can reveal His word to your spirit through scripture....you can’t understand it in your own human understanding.

Also testifying that I am His Child to my spirit..that is heart knowledge from the Holy Spirit....otherwise I would never know i was born again......of course God gets all the Glory.......because He did all the work,by drawing me to Him.and choosing me to be His Child.....what an Honour,Ehh.

Calvinism is much like gnosticism. Its all about that hidden knowledge. Will the real elect please stand up?

I believe that is why many of the followers of it are so arrogant and unpleasant to deal with. Even Calvinists warn other Calvinists about this in their books. Anyone who has watched Leighton Flowers debates with those two Calvinist "gentelemen" knows what I am talking about.

Once you believe you are that special snowflake, the lottery winner, with that hidden knowledge of theology that no one else has, you are on the "Inside circle" while the rest of us arent.
We dont know the world doesnt mean the world.
We dont know God wants all to be saved doesnt mean God wants all to be saved and come to repentance
We dont know that God doesnt really mean it when He is commanding people to repent and believe the Gospel.

The fact that Calvinists have to change so many verses, not just a few, is a good indicator you are dealing with something false. The traits seem to be:
-Hidden knowledge
-Theology theology theology, book worms
-Debates, debates debates and more debates. Debating is the new evangelism.

The problem with the debating tactic of evangelism is that, they are usually recruiting other Christians, already saved people, whereas they let the other Christians do their work of spreading the actual Gospel.
Most people dont care about Codex this or Aleph that or this manuscript and that greek term. People are suffering in this world, especially the ones who appear to have it all good, the party animals, they are miserable people usually on antidepressants and constant anxiety.
They need to hear practical solutions to practical problems, witness to them about how Jesus cured you of addiction and got you out of that sin lifestyle and how you are genuinely happy now.

This is the type of arrogance I was talking about in my previous post, very common in Calvinists. Very cold and condescending.

"I understand why you wont get it." You are basically not saying it straight, but we all know you are insinuating that he isnt elect and you are.

Haha...it does to you,because you don’t understand it.......God brought me to the place of Him testifying to me Spirit......I did nothing.

What was it you said.....you believed in your head,then that was it,you were saved,hahaha...much more to it than that my dear.
Spoken so eloquently by someone who claims their fruit is of God. You must have been pre-destined to write that stupidity.

I can assure you ,no Calvin has recruited me....I believe what I believe,because it came from the Holy Spirit....just God and I....”Yuppp”.

You said heart knowledge now you’re saying your mind. Which is it? You’re tripping over your own lies, troll.

I said no such thing,calm down my friend,you aren’t thinking straight....you have misread my posts.....God brought Jesus into my mind....but there was more,but am not prepared to discuss....He then testified to my Spirit/heart...there he resides and has done for 28 yrs....he lives in my Spirit,I thought you knew that.

Or do you think he lives in your head?

For God so loved the world He gave His only Son that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life.

I believe in Jesus Christ therefore I am saved. I know you hate that, but there’s nothing you can do about it. It’s been predestined.

The Holy Spirit lives in my entire being. As for you, that’s yet to be determined.

I must say I had a “WOW” factor to my saving.....if that’s what you believe,why would I hate or dispute it?

If you believe that,fine.

God brought me to believing in Him..I did nothing....and he keeps me believing in Him,also he keeps me persevering and saved.....

You said heart knowledge and then you said mind. You didn’t say both, you said one one time and the other another time.

Two different experiences never intertwining them, but now you’re trying to do so because you got tripped up on your lies.

You must’ve been pre-destined to get tripped up over your own lies.

This is so wrong ... tell me why did Paul go to the Synagogue...

Tell me how does a person reason?

Then Paul, as his custom was, went in to them, and for three Sabbaths reasoned with them from the Scriptures,
Acts 17:2

So tell me why did Paul even bother, you think you were smarter than him?
