These people don't preach the word. The word is absent. At what point is enough enough? At what point do you think it's ok to get on all fours and bark like a dog and claim it's the Holy Spirit? At what point is shaking violently liek you are demon possessed and calling it the Holy Spirit okay? Where does it end?
It's all about emotion and experience. Doctrine is anathema. In fact, it's core doctrine is no doctrine.

I see you are taking posts from other threads and blending them together in this one.........LOL..
Yep, it was applicable, you saying if someone does not like what you like for the reasons you like it there is something wrong. Do you wish to pretend is is not applicable?

I find it amazing, Legalistic people. who deny grace altogether and think salvation is only a religious thing, not a reality we hold on to are the ones who are liking what you say..
I have been putting likes on some of ForthAngels' posts. Do you refer to me here, am I included, as one who denies grace altogether, and thinks my salvation is only a religious thing, not a reality I hold onto? Please confirm or deny as is appropriate :)

I believe that some here have forgotten Romans 5:20. "Moreover the law entered, that the offense might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound:". It is that abundant grace that makes it possible to overcome a despicable life of disobedience.

Thank God for his amazing Grace that, even though I'm not worthy of it, has freed me from a life of sin.

Why do you want to limit our liberty??
Liberty or license?

For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another.
(Gal 5:13)

Well, the only two other choices are servants of Satan or servants of God... so who else is there but those completely without a moral anchor of either kind?

Is there anyone that you don't hate on??
Funny. I see you as the yin to his yang.

I also hear nothing but Dueling Banjos.

It's a competition, but the two of you are simply out to out do each other. Same rhythm, different instruments. No lyrics that anyone is listening to, even you two.

(Side note on Dueling Banjos. That scene wasn't part of the script until later. The kid lived there and the actor started playing his guitar between sets, so the kid joined in. Because of what happened, they created this scene. Only good part in the whole movie and it would have been better if they didn't feel the need to act around it.)

I guess that's why I am losing interest in this sight.

We have people explicitly teaching a gospel of hell. Yet people want to continue to speak against those who have the correct gospel. even if you may disagree on a few other things.. While siding with the ones who will lead people to hell with their gospel.

I have yet to meat a prosperity wealth and health pastor who teaches grace, Everyone I have met will teach salvation can be lost.. And your trying to relate them to these two guys..

Notice that in Matt 7:19-23..Jesus said "I never knew you "...these people were not believers.....everyone when they see Jesus will call Him Lord.....
Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and in your name drive out demons and in your name perform many miracles?’ Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!’
Matt 7:22-23

They say, “The Lord does not see; the God of Jacob takes no notice.”
Psalm 94:7

The people call out Lord Lord thought they knew Jesus, where followers and believers.
They thought the were driving out demons and miracles in Jesus's name.

Jesus declares it is just fake because of their deeds showed their true allegiance.
Beware if you rest on what you think is spiritual authority and your heart has never bowed the knee.

EG Have you read nothing of Joseph Prince he is both a prosperity and grace preacher. But then actually admiting the truth even over a small point like this is beyond you.

Why should anyone believe you are anything but an ex-legalist with a chip on their should to beat up anyone who you come across who you decide is a suitable target, like me.

Come on EG, just once accept Joseph Prince is a grace and prosperity preacher? Please, prove me wrong, you know you can do it.

It's no competition at all.
