    Not sure if I ever received the Holy Spirit

    With all due respect, the Holy Spirit is a person - not an 'it'.

    Questions That Need Answers

    My son-in-law is with law enforcement. Recently he pulled a car over on the interstate driving 45 mph in the inside, passing lane. He asked the driver why she was driving so slow. "I was texting so I slowed down to do it safely."

    Chemo

    I'm just gonna put everything out at once in just a few words. In may of 2023 at a home group meeting where I wanted to share what I had learned about praise / worship, I was attacked by a demon and contracted covid. (please start a convo if you really want the details) A long list of...

    so what actually happened - worship wars early 80's to late 90's or so

    From what I saw and experienced in the early 70's through the mid 80's, the music actually had very, very little to do with true spiritual worship. Praise yes - worship no. Praise is at a different level than worship. Praise comes from the soul and usually is giving thanks to GOD for what HE has...

    Praise then Worship

    Acts 14 19-20 ( this is my intrepetation - let the reader discern) In this verse we see that some of the people that stoned Paul "drew" (dragged) him outside the city. Stoning was a form of excutation so the injuries Paul sustained appeared to the people enough to have killed him. I suspect...

    Infiltration of the Church

    That the video was not monetized (no advertisements) gives it some credibility. Fewer attractive women would have been better. Then there's this discussion in the teen section. https://christianchat.com/christian-teens-forum/teen-modesty.198513/

    Hebrews 12 21-22

    Thanks to all who have replied. I understand now. Considering that Hebrews was written to people that had walked in the faith for quite a while, drawing comparisons between the OT and the New covenant and that the New was better makes sense. It also makes sense to connect verse 21 to 22. Kind...

    Hebrews 12 21-22

    Between Heb 12-21 and Heb 12-22 is a semi-colon. Why is there a semi colon rather than a period. I'm using the KJV.

    Infiltration of the Church

    This is well presented and accurate. I would not expect many 'seeker sensitive' churches to address the issue though.

    Your thoughts please

    +1 on all points especially your last sentence. In the 70's the phrase "invisible worship leader" was used. I have other posts that address this. There seems to be a movement back to Spirit led true spiritual worship which is different from praise. I wonder if todays worship leaders know that...
