Hello friend. It comes down to sound doctrine and false doctrine. The mormons for example believe christ was crucified on a Pike. Their bibles are different from the Christian king James version. Romans 3:4. Let God be true and every man a liar. False preachers are blind leaders of the blind. Genesis 8:21. And the Lord smelled sweet savior: and the Lord said in his heart, I will not again curse the ground any more for mans sake; for the imagination of mans Heart is evil from his youth; neither will I again smite any more every thing living, as I have done. Satan blinds false preachers minds, their lost. Teaching doctrines of demons. Greed or egotism is their motives. Only through the conviction of the holy spirit are unbelievers illuminated about their sinfulness, their pride, and their total depravity. Their only Hope is Jesus. If they would repent and conform to God's standard. Jeremiah 20:9. Then I said, I will not make mention of Him, nor speak any more His name. But his word was in my heart as a burning fire shut up in my bones, and I was weary with for bearing , and I could not stay. When servant of God plants seeds, sharing God's truth. Only Jesus can germinate those seeds. A person who has spirit of slumber may stay that way. God has his reasons why some people have spirit of stupor. And satan does influence Christian who doesn't have holy spirit. Its demonic to slander, gossip, plot evil, sow discord. Their is member on this site who follows me around leaving negative comments, this member is sowing discord on this chat forum. This behavior is of the devil, its demonic. The person is self condemned.

The king Jame's version companion bible is the authentic version. But you still need a strongs concordance, it has Hebrew and Greek. Its important to have tools to go back to the original language. I have both, and Greek lexicon concordance, new testament. About jehovah witnesses, their like mormons, their Cult. They have their own indoctrinated bible. The mormons believe Jesus was crucified on a pike. Their wicked bunch. Their poisoning people's minds with false doctrine. Catholic churches practice absolution, its booths set up, were priests absolve people at confession. Their making money off of people's sins. Only Jesus can forgive sins. These cults or denominations have different bibles. The king James companion bible is the Christian bible. I hope this helps.

That's a good point to stick with a key doctrine with these cult members.
I just see the understanding of hell to be an essential to salvation, but not the indwelling of the Holy Spirit. I'll take your word on that about their false belief on the indwelling Holy Spirit. It just isn't essential to the gospel.

Every Christian Has the Spirit
To be a Christian is to have the Spirit of Christ. Romans 8:9: “You . . . are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if in fact the Spirit of God dwells in you. Anyone who does not have the Spirit of Christ does not belong to him.”

I was just thanking Him earlier for making me His temple. Then I signed on here and just read your post.
Coincidence?
😄 I think not.
I believe that the Holy Spirit indwells every believer when they receive Jesus Christ as Savior by faith. I'm very grateful for His comfort and teaching. He brings to remembrance scripture that I'd long forgotten and often helps me find it in His Word too.

The Comfort was evident when I lost my pet, that I had my entire adulthood, just the other day.

When my wife was with me they would come by the house. She would sit down and talk to them, I would get up and find something else to do. They are a call to teaches you to shun anyone who's not Jehovah's witness.
I've heard way too many stories about how they tear families apart. If you are just communicated or decide to leave the church on your own, your family never speaks to you again. Nothing about that sounds Godly to me. Also no telling how many deaths they are complicit in by telling people not to get blood transfusions
They haven't knocked on my door in a long time but if they do I will probably tell them don't knock on my door again

In Every City I ever lived, they tell their members that I am demon processed to keep their people away from me. Each time it backfired. Inspect fences after they go thru your neighborhoods. They have ways to mark them concerning which ones to avoid.

Aside: Check your City, Town Laws --- there is a law in most that anyone going door to door for any reason must get a permit from local and state Police Departments. The purpose for the permits is to do a Crimial Records Check. For Religious and Political permits there is no cost. All the streets in my neighborhood are private. So, when they come to my door, I ask for their permit. If they do not have one, I order them to leave the neighborhood or they will be arrested. I then show them my NEST badge. Yes, I have the authority to arrest and detain until a local Officer comes and formerly arrest them for crimial tresspassing. It is a crimial offensive not to have a permit.

If any of you ever attended a Kingdom Hall,you will agree their Bible study and determination is second to none. No reformed church I have been in can even remotely match it.Unfortunately they must follow the doctrines set up by their Governing Body,and to disagree with them is heresy.The GB decides with is the "Truth" and what is not truth. They are truly brain washed into believing the scriptures do not teach
