Here is the post I had so many thoughts on. It will require explaining a...phase I went through. When I received the Spirit, I experienced the whole goosebumps and waves washing over and through me thing I talked about earlier. Some brothers I talked to didn't know what I was talking about...

No McGee, you can't do that. First, if they are saying something out of just not understanding yet, they aren't lying. To lie is an intentional and willful thing and they aren't doing that. They are really believing what they say is true. I was just getting ready to leave but I'm going to delay...

And I've got ALOT to comment on one of hornetguys posts. ALOT!! But I have to shoot back out right now. See you guys later.

By the way, those who I've been speaking with, who think I've never prayed in the spirit, some of your objections to some things that roger has said - I totally agree with you guys on. Just haven't commented because you seem to be handling it well. But wanted you to know. :)

In fact, according to you, we could replace pray in spirit at all times to: pray in tongues at all times. Hence, at all times you would be praying without your understanding. Capiche? And you're the best too bratty brother.

have you read my posts where I tried as best I could to explain it...??

not if you pray at all times in spirit and praying in spirit has to be in tongues and praying with tongues is praying without the understanding, you dont.

you expect praying without the understanding to be easy to explain??:LOL:

And if your reply to this is it has to be in tongues, you little stinker, then my questio n to you is: why do you never pray with your understanding??:LOL:

Yes! "Pray in the Spirit at all times."

oh great. Now my praying in the Spirit is "some nebulous feeling." :rolleyes::LOL: you are too much brother! :LOL:

Yes, I know you can speak in tongues silently, without uttering a word. It is very nearly close to how I pray in the spirit - without sound.

Ah, see!! A tongues speaker who is willing to admit that perhaps if you pray in tongues, you are praying in spirit, does not mean that a nontongues speaker never prays in the spirit. Besides which, when you pray in tongues, you are not praying with your understanding, does this mean we are...

Perhaps I am just a mute tongues speaker? :LOL::ROFL::LOL::ROFL:

Or what about someone who has had throat cancer and their voice box removed? Are you really willing to say they can never pray in spirit?

Yes, we know you are convinced of this brother. :LOL: But Paul did not say: to pray in the spirit is to speak in tongues. He said: if I pray in tongues, I am praying in spirit. His statement does not say that it is impossible to pray in spirit any other way, for instance, silently and with no...

I realized a long time ago, amid some confusion, that some things I was reading by some old saints and some things I heard living people say - sounded like they were talking about different things when in actuality, they were all speaking of the same thing and just using the only words they...

It means...a deeper prayer, a deeper communion. It is not praying with complete understanding and is very difficult to describe. Have you read my posts where I try to describe it??? It is a bit uneffable. One cannot exactly draw an outline to describe what it is like. They can mostly only say: I...

Waahhh! It is talking about praying in the spirit when it says "praying in the spirit. :LOL:

But can I post on someone elses profile page this way? I'll try. Thanks. :)
