:) if you were suggesting something about me, a more accurate filter might have been "Some people type slowly when they're trying to answer clearly and intelligently". Still love ya, Kelby :)

Were you able to understand what it was that I was saying in that quote? Love in Jesus, Kelby

Thank-you for posting an accurate account. Love in Jesus, Kelby

Let's see if you're able to hold your reaction long enough to understand what I am actually saying. YES, I have stated that water baptism is necessary and a part of salvation..BUT.. NO, that doesn't mean a person has to be baptized in order to receive the Holy Spirit. Acts 10 gives us an...

That IS a fine example of a filter. Just not one that I particularly hold. :) Love in Jesus, Kelby

Kelby does NOT believe that a person needs to be water baptized in order to receive the Holy Spirit. Love in Jesus, Kelby

Denominational Teachings is indeed a filter some people use. When presented with information (even from the bible) they say to themselves "What do my Denominational Teachings allow me to believe about this information?" Another person may have the Personal Belief that "there is no God"...

Love in Jesus to you. :) Kelby

Almost everyone who comes here has a doctrine through which information is filtered. But do they have a way to test if their filter is accurate? (NO, it's NOT enough to ask others with the same filter "Do you think our doctrine is correct?" because who would answer "Well, No, we've been...

I haven't read beyond this posting yet because the simplest answer stands out to be the best answer in this particular case. It goes something like this... Those who are, or profess to be, Christians are hesitant to start quoting scripture regarding diseases because the bible clearly states...

Occasionally, when you create a thread, it takes some time before it shows up in the main list (if you've opened a new tab to view the list). Your original also might show up with an icon that says "Awaiting approval" or something like that when you hover over it. I THINK it is a green "eye"...

Yep, I get where you're coming from. I'd started to write more but am in need of rest. Hopefully will reply in the morning. Love in Jesus, Kelby

@CherieR Our FLESH doesn't have the ability to perform miracles in Jesus name, but miracles are performed when we are NOT focused on our flesh but rather on God and his power (which is supposed to dwell in us). And if you review your own example, you see that pattern. You weren't focused...

When I was first trying to line up with the word of God in such a way that my prayers would produce results, I found that some of my thinking was incorrect. Basically, I would find some promise of God then try to use it in an appropriate time. If it didn't work, I would ask God why. He would...

My apologies. I'd basically forgotten your first 2 short sentences once I started reading your 2nd paragraph. My reply was only regarding the second paragraph. It started with "I don't believe" ..and.. "I don't have"... which are negatives and aren't particularly helpful in trying to get...

@CherieR Once I know you've read Post #44, I'll point out something negative, but I do not want to distract you from focusing on the positive of exactly HOW how you were involved in a miracle even if you think your part was minor. Love in Jesus, Kelby

Thank-you for answering correctly. At first you answered negatively BUT then you looked on what you have instead of what you think you don't have... and you shared the basic components of any miracle... Prayer, compassion, and simple obedience. Notice how pride and self-interest were not a...

Do you, personally, know what it takes to cause miracles to occur? (In practice, not in theory) Or another way of wording it... Have you ever caused or initiated a miracle? Love in Jesus, Kelby

Please don't get upset with me being for being candid: Even though you believe God can and does do miracles, I'm guessing that you personally haven't figured out how (or when, or why, or for whom) to get miracles to function in YOUR life or ministry. Am I correct in that assumption? Love...

@jb I tell you of a truth, If you ask (sincerely, correctly) he will indeed answer you. But please remember this... When you ask for a meal at McDonald's, you are willing to wait until they hand it to you before you drive away. And if you ask a contractor to build you a house, you're...
