No, it's not about judging a person's heart to know if they're saved, lol:
"44While Peter was still speaking these words, the Holy Spirit fell upon all those who were listening to the message. 45All the circumcised believers who came with Peter were amazed, because the gift of the Holy Spirit had been poured out on the Gentiles also. 46For they were hearing them speaking with tongues and exalting God. Then Peter answered, 47“Surely no one can refuse the water for these to be baptized who have received the Holy Spirit just as we did, can he?”" (Acts 10:44-47 NASB)
Do I need to explain it to you? I will if you're not grasping the point.

Hideous doctrine-->Comparing the work of the Spirit to a bowl of left over lasagna and how it can be unsealed
Satanic doctrine--->Saying Jesus cannot keep his promises and word by above hideous doctrine
The Spirit is the Truth <---two definite articles and a "be" verb....shoots down his view....a man hears the word and acts upon it....end of story.....the Spirit in us allows us to understand the word and apply the word......comparing spiritual to spiritual

I understand what stones is saying with that sentence.
I might not understand what you are saying though.
The only way I have ever won any gains in self control was by God showing me my lack and then me praying for what I lacked. The harder I tried on my own the worse it got.

Here, maybe this will help....
15“And as I began to speak, the Holy Spirit fell upon them just as He did upon us at the beginning. 16“And I remembered the word of the Lord, how He used to say, ‘John baptized with water, but you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.’ 17“Therefore if God gave to them the same gift as He gave to us also after believing in the Lord Jesus Christ, who was I that I could stand in God’s way?” 18When they heard this, they quieted down and glorified God, saying, “Well then, God has granted to the Gentiles also the repentance that leads to life.” (Acts 11:15-18)
Understand yet?

Dear Sir, Jaumej is kind and loving with much to share with us and the ongoing behaviour is not good for anyone. I consider those being called that are people that have had interaction in some way so
'why throw yourself in to the mix?'[/QUOTE]
Seriously, its looks pretty clear to me why I responded to his post - and I do not see this as,"throwing myself into the mix" and he is not referring to you as a "little cohort", so why do you even care what I have posted?
