Featured The breath of God...

Then stop doing it.

I have explained several times the exceptions. Those are the facts. All believers receive the HS baptism when they believe, not later and not after they have to seek it. That is false doctrine.

 

I gave the facts of the unusual, one-time, exceptional circumstances that are the scriptural truth that you are either too dimwitted or obstinate to accept; thus, you are unteachable.

 

Then why do you keep ignoring it?

 

Facts are facts. Each instance of the HS being delayed was a special, one-time exceptional circumstance with the reasons being easily understood by anyone willing to do so. You are not. No believer has to ask for the HS. Every believer is baptized by the HS and receives the HS upon coming to faith. It is not a later, separated, second blessing. That is false doctrine.

 

Are you suggesting that Thomas is not born again, and that God the Father is not his Father?

 

There was a first time that the Gospel was received by non-Jews. This was a one-time, exceptional circumstance. Your willful ignorance and stubbornness is going to get you into trouble. Mark my words on this and when it happens, remember what I said. I have seen it happen to many people.

 

If I ever post a theory, I'll let you know.

 

Believe it or not, I saw this accusation made against someone very close to me just because she didn't speak in tongues. See, this is where the false Charismatic doctrine leads.

 

Some years ago, I dared to tell a Charismatic that I didn't believe tongues was of God, nor would I ever attempt to speak in them. He became very angry, and then tried to cast a demon out of me! :laugh:

 

I have had a lot of experience with the Pentecostal/Charismatic churches, through my studies and also personal experience.

They take a couple of exceptional circumstances and try to make these the norm for every Christian believer, making people believe they are lacking in something, making them uncertain, making them second-class Christians and inferior. They build entire denominations and yes, cults, on these exceptional circumstances. Just look at all the varieties of this movement, all claiming their doctrines and practices are inspire by the Holy Spirit! Anybody who can't recognize that movements like the Brownsville assembly are Satanic, cultic nutcases needs to have his/her head examined.

 

You were lucky that one didn't jump out of him and onto you!

 

At first I thought you were speaking directly to him, and you still might have been. But I re-read your post and you may have been using an "impersonal you." I can't tell. Maybe you can clarify that.

If Thomas is a Christian....
First he must be saved...
