    This board, like all boards, is about words/speaking, not deeds/acting. Quite frankly, your words seem to be questioning the salvation of others here, which is verboten.
    And with that sweeping accusation, did you not just join your imagined group?

    Amazing my post was deleted.

    God questions their salvation, not I. For he says that life and death is found in the tongue. And the tongue is set on fire in hell.

    Also God makes the generalization not I. As I follow his principle set forth in his word about Cretans and the generalization made against them, a principle we are to follow based upon observations.

    Then flew one of the seraphims unto me, having a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with the tongs from off the altar: And he laid it upon my mouth, and said, Lo, this hath touched thy lips; and thine iniquity is taken away, and thy sin purged.
    Isaiah 6:6‭-‬7 KJV

    Based on the EXCESSIVE verbiage here, it ‘pears that someone has been educated well beyond their intelligence!

    You know it's strange to me in this particular case how Bible professing Christians are so resistant against God himself. As if they can say or do anything and God gives them a free pass.

    God says something different though. He says if you cannot control railing, accusations, evil speech in general, he is going to cast you into hell. I wonder why that is?

    Could it be that perhaps speech is a reflection of your inner heart before God? Perhaps the difference between profane and Holy? Maybe how someone speaks reveals not only their heart condition before God but also their heart condition towards other beings as well?

    People who speak worldly deny God's power. They call him a liar in their heart. They say "God will accept me as I am! God doesn't require Holy speech! I am saved by the blood of the Lamb!"

    Indeed. Well that gift of eternal life is applied but not without repentance. The fact people hold onto worldly speech shows they have some sort of hatred towards God. I am speaking of profane unholy dispositions in words that reflect the heart.

    God says flat out that he will cast you into hell for such behaviours. God says he will set your tongue on fire. You still hold the world value system of loose lips, accusations, profane unholy speech?

    Well friend of the world through the mouth, prepare to meet a HOLY God.

    But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment. For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.
    Matthew 12:36‭-‬37 KJV

    So CONSIDER who exactly you are going up against? Who exactly are you disobeying in behaviours, attitudes, careless words? Who exactly are you profaning? None other than the man you claim to represent.

    And he has every right to tell you on judgement that he never knew you.

    It's not about me here at all, or some sort of swelling of knowledge or learning. It is as it has been about from the start, the LORD. Who should be LORD over your heart your lips, all aspects.

    Who ends up talking to themselves... Brother Glen:)

    Your assessment of this character seems spot on!!
    Never use 10 words, if you can say the same thing in 100 words!?!?

    You know, you speak these things about me, but fail to realize your not actually speaking against me. In your infancy of speech, and inability to comprehend fundamental theology, anyone who speaks against a brother in effect speaks against the Lord.

    "Whatever you did to the least...."

    As I said, your speech will simply land you in hell. Any sentence which does not center on Christ that proceeds from your mouth comes from the world, and not the Spirit.

    If you don't speak as the oracle's of God, how can you claim to represent him? Again Jesus, your professed Master, threatens in HIS WORD to send you to hell. While the Christian walk is not by the letter, yet you refuse to allow the Spirit guidance over your tongue.

    If I am quoting scripture, and I indeed have, it is not me who is speaking at you but Christ himself. Yet you say to Christ himself:

    You are speaking to the air.

    Again you fail to comprehend the very basics of theology and the Christian walk, proving yourselves infants.

    To paraphrase loosely: 'We are from God, whoever is from God hears what we say. Whoever is not from God does not hear what we say. This is how we recognize the Spirit of truth'

    If I am quoting God's words regarding your speech, why the backlash? It is because you cannot bear the Word. You like your godless chatter. You like accusations. You like to speak of someone quoting living waters as "Your speaking to the air!"

    You are indeed infants, and God warns you, not I. I sincerely hope you can control your tongues in the future, but if you don't listen to God's Word on the matter and speak of the Flesh, what else can be done?

    You remind me of the Pharisees. Righteous on the outside but unable to humble yourself before God's Word regarding your heart condition. Of course, institutional Christianity will do this, because I infer you are probably fake disciples, based upon God's judgement in this thread regarding your tongues and heart conditions.

    Where have I spoke error and not followed the course set forth by Jesus regarding judgement and speech? If I am following God's Word, why am I being persecuted?

    Because you are fake disciples. Jealousy and envy, accusations, godless chatter fills your heart.

    "He's speaking to the air!" Or "Lighten up on God's word!"

    You speak as the world does, and I indeed infer it is because you are of the world. God's transforming power of speech has eluded you because you resist the Holy Spirit, not me. Proving yourselves to be no different than the world.

    As this thread has gone well beyond the purposes of this particular forum, I am closing it.
