I do. I think you are wrong and trying to appease.No you dont
I understand it.
Apparently not.No you dont
Apparently yes. I have heard many a Pentacostal attempt to use emotion to move God to action by yelling, flopping on the floor and displaying almost demonic actions. They are the ones "praying a hedge" around someone. It's mysticism that borders on demonism.Apparently not.
So sad.
The use of the phrase "plead the blood" is used differently by Spurgeon that it is explained in the op. What Spurgeon did was biblical those that use it in the way that is explained in the op do not.
No you dont
They understands perfectly, Because in their world God is the Cause of all their trouble anyways. In fact they needs protection from God.
Soon probably not going to pray for anything at all.
Ultimately If God already decided everything why pray? you must not trust God to have to request anything, or think you are the boss, or know better.
Google--> Calvinist don't pray.
Think about the Lord's prayer.
When you pray -> Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
Shouldn't have to pray it since his will is always done anyways. When they get to that point.....no prayers
Calvinism and Common Sense never go together.
"Prayer aligns your rebellious heart in submission to God's perfect will.""Thy will be done." Just as God taught us to pray.
No troubles. Various trials, but no troubles.
Only those who are fighting against God need protection from God.
Prayer aligns your rebellious heart in submission to God's perfect will. Prayer brings peace.
LOL, seems like you are clueless. Care to keep shooting in the dark?"Prayer aligns your rebellious heart in submission to God's perfect will."
Sounds like your giving yourself credit for praying and fixing yourself.
You are man centered.
Sure.... I'm glad to get a laugh out of you.LOL, seems like you are clueless. Care to keep shooting in the dark?
Prayer doesn't save your soul, utilyan. Is that what your priest has told you?Sure.... I'm glad to get a laugh out of you.
Don't worry I will do the GOOD WORK of Prayer, to align my rebellious heart in submission to God's perfect will.
And thus save my soul.

I said that.No one has said that. Strawman
Is that what your priest is teaching you, utilyan?You told me "Prayer aligns your rebellious heart in submission to God's perfect will."
I think bacon cheeseburgers save the soul.
That is Word of faith, and they are teaching heresy! Not one verse in the NT that commands us to plead the blood over someone or against Satan, but instead we "claim" be trusting in Jesus and his finished work upon the Cross our salvation!I hear Pentecostal preachers say this all the time: "Plead the blood over _____." What do they mean by this? It seems they and others are almost using the blood of Jesus like an amulet. Isn't this reverting back to paganism and cultism?
Also, I saw Kenneth Copeland the other night hold a Bible right in the face of someone in the audience and declare something like "This is God with us, God in print and paper." So, isn't this making an idol of the Bible? Have Protestants dethroned the Pope only to put the Bible in his place? Is this how God wants us to view the Bible?
I must say that some things I'm encountering in Protestantism are as bewildering to me as Roman Catholicism.
I said that.
I brought up the phrase "I pray a hedge around you" because I hear and see people who think they have some mystical power within themselves that taps into God and his angels to command them to protect people.
In specific, the phrase was tossed around as a meme with the idea that such prayers would protect US troops from being harmed in battle. It has no spiritual merit and is being used as though it were an incantation of protection against foes.
Mr Mitchell, I'm not buying your theory.
