Hypnotic state....

Professional hypnotists for entertainment hold what I call "secular Pentecostal services."
I once saw a professional hypnotist entertaining a college crowd.

He had them...

Speaking in languages not of their own upbringing.
Even had someone interpreting what was said.

Had some feeling deeply moved by love for another.
Making some feel joyous and happy on command. (laughing in the Spirit)

And, even a moment when he had some doing what was identical to what is now called 'slain in the Spirit.'

My eyes were opened wide open that night.

Drunk with holy laughter

......
you are more of an authority with Occult practices, which no Pentacostel would ever seek out. I guess you're into Mediums also? Just know it will be tough for anyone to take you seriously when you engage in demonic entertainment. There is nothing secular in the Pentacostel experience.

No hypnotic state. That is demonic, which should never be equated with the Work of Anointing of the Holy Spirit.
The hypnotist demonstrated that only certain people can be hypnotized.... Not all.

If one is vulnerable? He will not know it's demonic simply by the experience if it were intended to counterfeit something a Bible reader might accept....

Eventually… That person must take a stand on the Word taught with accuracy to break free....

So be it.

if a Christian is dabbling in Occult-like things, they have a serious self-examination they need to do. The Context of the Anointing Biblically is not the Holy Spirit placing the willing vessel in a trance.

Also, one doesn't need to experience such things to know they are against the word of GOD. I would never suggest to a Christian they should experience a Hypnotist or go see a Medium to feel how demonic it is. That is unwise. I do not need to experience
counterfeits to know what is real. That, too, is unwise.

You think you do.
But, you have no idea what you are talking about...

I am going to have limited contact with you because you have no capacity for what was being said.
It only gets distorted by you.

it not my problem you are following the Ocult and using Pagan teaching to try and disprove Biblical things.


Who went to see a hypnotist? You did. Who liken that to Secular Pentecostalism? You did. I called you on it. Now, you try to play the victim. Again, As I explained your approach is that one of a coward. I would be happy to speak with you in a live setting and tell to your face. That offer is still there.

Just got back from LA where I shared the Gospel message and prophesied to many thousands what God is going to do...and you all sat here arguing back and forth the whole time?

Good grief.

just like a false prophet, you went and told those in LA but did not tell us. And we did not argue the whole time. You should have known that.

Two things: 1. You slandered me - a sin. 2. You lied - a sin.

I've told you all along and if you had read my postings from the beginning you would know. I did not hide anything from anyone what the Lord has given me to share. I freely gave as I freely received. The message was on my sign, a sign of which I've shared several times in the past couple months on this thread.

Why call yourself a prophet?
You evangelize unbelievers.

1 Corinthians 14:1-3

Pursue love, and desire spiritual gifts, but especially that you may prophesy.
For he who speaks in a tongue does not speak to men but to God, for no one
understands him; however, in the spirit he speaks mysteries.
But he who prophesies speaks edification and exhortation and comfort to men.

Holding up and carrying a sign, saying, "The END IS NEAR!"
Is hardly edification and exhortation and comfort to believers.
Its not edifying to the church. Its public embarassment for them.
It makes Christianity look dumb.


1 Corinthians 14:22

Therefore, tongues are for a sign, not to those who believe but to unbelievers;
but prophesying is not for unbelievers, but for those who believe.
Guys walking around with signs,l saying the end is near, is OLD!
The end did not come way back then. Did it?

There is always somebody that hears the wrong voice... and obeys.

You are a prophet? than should have known I was joking LOL I did not slander you. And slandering you is not a sin. Second, I did not lie; I went with the information you provided unless you did not go to LA.

Genez, CS1, I'm not going to spend my time arguing with you two. I have better things to do - and so do you.

Our Lord Jesus Christ did not say, "Sit online and argue your theology and your self-righteousness." He said, "GO!" [Matthew 28:19 and Mark 16:15]

Why are you so offended if God has called me to be a prophet? He sent me forth with the message on my sign, part of which reads: "God will destroy the USA." Why not wait and see if He fulfills what He has sent me to prophesy before you condemn me? If the USA is still here when our Lord Jesus returns, then call me a liar and a false prophet right in front of Him. If He destroys it as He has sent me to prophesy, then what is that between me and Him and you? He told me to GO share that message, and I did as I was commanded. If he told you to do it, would you? [I hope you would regardless of what someone on a chat board says to slander your calling.]

I am not offended :) Because you're not a prophet. Prophets don't use signs. They speak the word of God. If God has told you something
about CA, please share it and Let the words you say be judged as they are to be. If you are correct, I will be the first to say Amen.

Now, Please tell us what the Lord is saying about CA to you.

I will provide a hint. The Word of the Lord came in 2016 concerning the United States that would hold to this current day.

That is not correct. The Speaking in tongues of those done in ignorance. We're told what they are speaking sounds like Japanese and were then sent to Japan, That was an error. And was addressed Biblically and corrected.
Can demons speak in Japanese? Yes.

When the occult powers can *match* the alleged Christian thing?
It's like counterfeit money.

It would take someone knowledgeable to know what is going on.
That is why gaining more and more knowledge of sound doctrine protects the believer from being ripped off.

A dupe will like it because he can buy things he could not purchase before.
Like "acceptance" and approval.
