Ok, I wasn't certain. I haven't been over to that thread - don't make me go there!

LOL! It's kabuki theatre without the finesse intended by the original performers.

For those who don't know, kabuki is a mix of dramatic performance with traditional dance. The drama is real and the dance is on the part of the SDA crowd who dance around the truth with 2 left feet ;)

God's kingdom is a kingdom of order, so I try to let everything be done that way. When helping my clients, I take notes so I don't get ahead of myself. In the deliverance ministry, Satan loves confusion; it's his go-to.

Well, I'm not calling it a ministry but you can if that is your understanding. I consider every one of these spirits as liars so.......
Yes. He gave us the authority. However, the "churches" do not want you, the born again believer, to be moving in that Authority but to be acting under "the church's" authority. God hates that - the nicolaitans and all the rest...

I've been in churches where there is no problem with it and have also seen demons acting out in people with the leadership having no clue as to what is going on, calling the rolling around and screaming the Holy Spirit. God help us.
The deceptions, distractions, are endless, which we would expect from the most subtle beast of the field. This is why claims to denominational affiliations have ZERO PLACE in a believer's life, in the life of one who wants to be used effectively for the furtherance of the kingdom of God Almighty.

It grieves my Spirit to bear witness to the shameless promotion of mere PEOPLE and their DENOMINATIONS in these threads. These ppl are powerless, neutered for Christ!

The internet is bulging with fake prophets and what have yous. Scripture speaks of 'teaching demons' and they are very busy.

Sorry, I'm ranting a bit, as I am angry. I truly hate Satan...

I try to be neutral except when children are involved. As a child, I had some bad experiences. I was saved at 5 so I have alot to thank God for saving me from.

ROFL! Haven't heard that in awhile...

Yes, that's a good posture to adopt at the start, because one never knows "who is who" initially. ONLY through the blood of Jesus Christ and the assistance of the Holy Spirit can one begin to reveal the deception(s) and peel back the layers...

Some are onto it...

Full-on, over-the-top epidemic.

Interesting you say that. Children (and esp. abortions) just break me. Satan loves to defile innocence, and he plays it from both sides.
You got saved very young; were you fully cognizant of what that meant and has your life since been producing good fruit?
 
So please inform us which church we should go to in order to go to heaven? I believe God has his people all over the world in many different denominations. It is accepting Jesus as our savior that will get us there and confessing our sins and asking for forgiveness. Big shocker there will be SDA people saved in heaven along with whatever church you go to. I bet we all will be keeping the 10 commandments to. God did give us the 10 I mean he thought it was important enough to write them in stone with his own finger. I'm sure the rules will still apply in heaven.
There is one church. All denominations are rejected by God. The problem with SDA is that they base salvation on a false doctrine. Now there may be SDA people in heaven, but not if they base their salvation on SDA doctrine. I've met born again Catholics. Why they stay in that cult is beyond me, but I could say the same about SDA also.

Tell me why Jesus needs to obey the sabbath? Do you really believe that there will be hours, days, weeks, months and years in heaven? God did not give me 10 Commandments. I'm not a Jew. God gave me Jesus and He is my righteousness, holiness, wisdom and sanctification. I won't need the law to tell me I must love God. In heaven we will love and worship God because it's who we are, not by compulsion. There will be no idols in heaven.

I can understand why Catholics stay in the Catholic Church, that's easy Gideon300.

Catholics don't read their Bible rather they rely heavily on their Church tradition.

The printing press began in 1450 AD so almost no one had access to the scripture.

Most people could not even read until public education began.

This means that theology was the backbone of nearly all church organizations throughout history.

The SDA folk are different because they quote from the scripture and any SDA member who put's
a serious effort. Into understanding the N.T will eventually have issues with the SDA and leave.
 
That’s interesting! When you point your finger, 3 are pointing right back at you. Lol

It figures you would lash out and deny this verse, since it doesn’t fit your belief. You are no better than the rest that wrest Scripture.
Give me one good Biblical reason why spiritual gifts have ceased.
-"Love never fails. But whether there are prophecies, they will fail; whether there are tongues, they will cease; whether there is knowledge, it will vanish away. For we know in part and we prophesy in part. But when that which is perfect has come, then that which is in part will be done away."
I Corinthians 13:8-10 NKJV

This is why prophecies fail today.


Yes, it was given till that which was perfect came; per 1 Cor. 13 above.


Maybe this happens in most churches?!


It’s a part of the reason, I’m sure.



Yes, all during the 1st century.
You are hilarious. You have no evidence to show that the perfect has come. You make a statement to that effect and expect people to believe you. No, the perfect has not come. If you think what we see now is perfection, you are deluded.

Catholics have had the Bible as long as anyone else. It's their choice not to study it. Catholicism has a lot in common with SDA, which seems odd since SDA opposes it so vehemently. They obviously don't like the competition.

SDA controls the same way Rome does, by fear. SDA have no assurance of salvation, same as RC teaching. SDA have "soul sleep", RC has purgatory; neither are Biblical. SDA has EG White, RC a pope. RC believes that they are the true church, which offends SDA because they believe that they are the true church.

SDA only quote from scripture selectively. They also quote EG White as if she was authoritative. RC has the pope, supposedly infallible on religious matters.

The SDA opposes every Christian denomination on earth.

You and every other church that meets on Sunday has the mark of the beast.

The mark is received through deliberate worship and pledge of allegiance to the Antichrist.

You worship the Antichrist just admit to it.

I cringe when on the internet at Christian churches pointing out the problems with other churches.

When their own theology, interpretation, is just as corrupt.

How can someone who spends years reading the N.T not understand Paul's letters.

There is something underneath this paradox that I do not understand.

I’m hilarious?? I gave you one verse, this should be enough! Instead, you insult and criticize.

As I had already indicated:
The perfect is Jesus Christ who already came and established His church; the mystery has been revealed that was from the beginning. How much more perfect can you get??

Spiritual gifts, meaning prophecy; tongues; miraculous miracles like healing the deaf, dumb, mute, all matter of sickness, raising the
dead, sending out the possessed with just laying your hand on someone. All these things Jesus gave to the apostles, and some to the myriad of disciples.

Where do you see this today?? And don’t come back to me with we all have gifts. This I know! I’m specifying miraculous gifts.

Lord Jesus was revealed prior to the gifts of the Spirit. According to you, they were never of God because Jesus was perfect before those gifts were given. Jesus must have been perfect when He went to the cross, otherwise He could not have suffered for our sins.

I see such gifts operating in the church often. My wife has a spiritual gift of discerning of spirits. She also speaks in tongues. I prophesy from time to time. I've seen the gifts of the Spirit manifested countless times. I've been healed of two chronic aliments on the same day. The pastor had a word of knowledge about my condition. I'd told no one. He prayed for me and I was healed immediately. That was over 50 years ago. More recently, I suffered pancreatitis. My wife prayed for me. Even the doctor, an unbeliever, confessed that my wife's prayer for healing was answered.

Your doubt and unbelief robs you of God's blessing. Hopefully you will see the truth that you purport to defend.

Again, you make WILD assumptions I never stated!! You’re not even reading correctly what I wrote.

Where on earth did I ever say that the gifts were not from God?? You need specs sunny!

That's a bit tricky as the Antichrist has yet to be revealed. I'm sealed with the Holy Spirit:

"And in Him, having heard and believed the word of truth—the gospel of your salvation—you were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit, who is the pledge of our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God’s possession, to the praise of His glory." Ephesians 1:13

You say that the gifts have ceased, post 713. I'm telling you where we see gifts operating today. Do you accept that or do you stick to the idea that the gifts have ceased? You seem not to know what your own posts are saying.

SDA's follow nonsense. Last I checked you didn't need to attend Church on Sunday to buy or sell. You've been programmed by a Sabbath cult.
