Rushing Wind - Keith Green

Rushing wind blow through this temple
Blowing out the dust within
Come and breathe Your breath upon me
I've been born again

Holy Spirit, I surrender
Take me where You want to go
Plant me by Your living waters
Plant me deep, so I can grow

Jesus, You're the one
Who set my spirit free
Use me, Lord
Glorify, Your Holy Name through me

Separate me from this world, Lord
Sanctify my life for You
Daily change me to Your image
Help me bear good fruit

Every day You're drawing closer
Trials come to test my faith
But when all is said and done, Lord
You know, it's been worth the wait

Jesus, You're the one
Who set my spirit free
Use me, Lord
Glorify, Your Holy Name through me

Rushing wind blow through this temple
Blowing out the dust within
Come and breathe Your breath upon me
For I've been born again

No it means that GOD is with us whether you think the theology is correct or not, just like in Acts 5.
Or more likely, the masses are being attracted by the promise of a magic show, the promise of a rock music performance, the promise of healings that rarely materialise, the promise of supernatural experiences, the promise of emotional frenzies, the promise of health and prosperity.

But only if you first give a "seed offering" to the Lord's work, which is used to pay for the leader's mansion and private jet.

Yes the Holy Ghost teaches directly and in many gifts and utterances and speaking by the Spirit and words of wisdom and words of knowledge and prophecy etc,which I have shown over and over again from scripture, which you seem to just run from these verses and avoid them or try to distort them.
I don't run from your verses at all. I have corrected your flawed understanding of every verse you have supplied that you think says God gives us new revelations by impressions, stirrings or the like.

If God speaks to us by such means it would be a vital doctrine that would be clearly and prominently stated in multiple scriptures. Yet nowhere does it instruct us to look to our inner impressions, stirrings etc for new revelations.

I can refute all you say it is not difficult. But you twist avoid my argument in areas and give over generalizations and many fallacy straw man arguments so often it becomes as mess to deal with all your errors. You also say things that make what I said appear different from what I said. This is done often. You avoid certain scriptures and things i say or quickly try to dismiss them or try to shift the point to another area you are speaking of and miss what i was saying. It’s also how you understand what I say I speak of many things that are spiritual in the scriptures and the mystery as well. I know these things are only understood in the spirit. I know also that some may say that is a weak argument because anyone can say, "you just don't see it it is spiritual". But the truth is that you don't see things spiritually in almost all you say. . Sone things you say are just wrong and not what scripture says as I have shown you many times.

When you get corrected or challenged you try to changed the point or create as other one. I have said God speaks inwardly by words and His voice so many times. But you try to create your straw man and use impressions/stirrings/esp or similar. Then you say that’s what other charismatics say. That’s a false argument. You are talking to me, not other charismatics when you respond to my post. I am different than the ones you try and associate me with. You assume wrongly many things and it’s not right to create a straw man fallacy again about me and then try (with no effect thought) to tear it down. They are soo wrong the things you say .but…
More Ad-hominem lies.

Scripture does not claim to record everything believers will do, in fact Scripture says the opposite.

Scripture does not even record everything Jesus did.

Jesus said we would do greater things than Him.

The reason why you hold this ridiculous position that we only Hear God when reading Scripture is because you have chosen to believe He is not giving understanding today in any other way.

This means the vital ministry of discernment is not operational in your world and you have no where else to go but to read the book.
The vital conversational relationship between the believer and Jesus in your world is non existent.

This reduces the church to a museum of a faith that once was, and I bet Satan loves that.

Jesus testified to the incompleteness of scripture when He added to it with His own words. "you have heard it said, but I say..."

Jesus is alive in us not dead.

Join His Emanual, the family of the living God in us, then you will understand the book heaps better.
If a claimed doctrine is not in scripture then it is to be rejected - "Do not go beyond what is written"

No, I have said many times, that in verses 11, 12 and even verses 14 and 15 speak of others besides Paul. I have given a detailed study on this.
Now you know verse 13 says the Spirit taught the apostles and not all believers, your attention now seems to have turned to other verses in that chapter. Do any of those verses say God speaks new revelations to believers by impressions, stirrings or the like?

It is soo clear from the text. It doesn't matter what few men you try to bring to say differently. I have shown commentators that show that Paul is not just speaking of himself in these verses.
I think you found a grand total of 2 commentators who extend the "we" in those verses to include other believers. How many of those commentators say God speaks new revelations to other believers by impressions, stirrings or the like in those verses? That's right....none.

And a main point which you seem to ignore, is that if Paul says which things we "ALSO" we speak ( which word also shows that the things of God are given to all with the spirit and which things Paul and other spiritual men spoke ), and he says it is by the Holy Ghost Teaching. That in no way whatsoever is Paul saying that he and a few others only have this teaching of the Spirit.
No, I did not ignore your offering. I corrected you misunderstanding of "also" in v13 here.

But here are just a few verses that say that again,

"...and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him." (Matthew 11:28 KJV)

and this section, you might find yourself in these veerses...

"I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that thou hast
hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes: even so, Father; for so it seemed good in thy sight. 22 All things are delivered to me of my Father: and no man knoweth who the Son is, but the Father; and who the Father is, but the Son, and he to whom the Son will reveal him." ) Luke 10:21,22 KJV)

"
No man can come to me, [this no man would include all men of all time, even before scripture was given.the men of the Ot were still His sheep and still heard His voice in their hearts even though they did not all have scripture or hear an outward audible voice. But they were still taught of the father and drawn to jesus inwardly as sheep] except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day. 45 It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God. [this one verse shatters all your argument, they shall ALL be taught of God and this is NOt refering only to the apostles, and God and they hear and see him in spirit and His voice is inward in their hearts as scripture shows] Every man therefore that hath heard, and hath learned of the Father, cometh unto me. 46 Not that any man hath seen the Father, save he which is of God, he hath seen the Father." (John 6:45 KJV)

"And the
Father himself, which hath sent me, hath borne witness of me. Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his shape. 38 And ye have not his word abiding in you: for whom he hath sent, him ye believe not. 39 Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me. 40 And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life."

You try some unusual way to avoid this inner teaching of the father and hearing him inward, by saying he only drew them when the outward preaching was given. Or that this is somehow only at the very moment of hearing a preacher and believing the message outwardly preached or read etc, which is not what it is saying. The voice is inward and notice it is the fathers word, "his word abiding in you". In you shows the location of the father speaking and teaching .

They were being drawn to Jesus even before they met him. In fact the apostles Jesus called already belonged to the father and were saved even before they heard Jesus call them in the natural world, as scripture shows and as scripture corrects you again, (But no doubt you will twist this verse and avoid it, or just say "that doesn't say that, with no answer)

“I have manifested thy name unto the men which thou gavest me out of the world: thine they were, and thou gavest them me; and they have kept thy word.”" ( john 17:6 KJV)

Here is another section that shows that the things of God are only known in the spirit and by revelation.

"...the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. [all believers are here in mind and this is not just speaking of apostles] 10 But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: [this"us" here is connected to Paul and the entire church, we read of Paul already saying that they were enriched by God in all utterance and in EVERYTHING] for the Spirit searcheth all things, [this would be literally all things of God and whatever God reveals to believers. We see that anything can be revealed to another sitting by in the church and not just apostles in 1 Cor 14] yea, the deep things of God. 11 For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, [Paul is not just speaking of apostles here but all men so this is a general truth for all] but the Spirit of God. 12 Now we [the first "we" here is connected buut different from the "we ALSO speak" in vs 13. But I have been through that already many times.] have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God" ( 1 Corinthians 2:9-12 KJV)

and Paul again includes all spiritual men, not just apostles in the next verses,

"But the
natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, [so the Corinthians could not receive the things of God or know them if they were not spiritual and had a revelation of the things of God and been taught by Goo inwardly] ,because they are spiritually discerned. 15 But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man." ( 1 Cor 2:14,15 KJV)


Your argument would confuse this section. Paul clearly is comparing the natural man and mans wisdom with the spiritual man ( not just apostles) . He says that the spiritual man judgeth (or discerns) all things. And another verse

"Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts: and in the hidden part thou shalt make me to know wisdom." ( Psalms 51:6 KJV)

and this is a good verse even thou you attack it

“But there is a spirit in man: and the inspiration of the Almighty giveth them understanding.” (Job 32:8 KJV)

"And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. 17 And Jesus answered and said unto him,
Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven." ( Matthew 16:16,17 KJV)

“That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and
revelation in the knowledge of him:” (Ephesians 1:17 KJV)
None of those verses say 'No man know the things of God but by revelation of the Spirit.'. You just picked out isolated words from your statement and quoted verses that included one of those words, but say something completely different. So I ask you again...What verse says that?

Wrong again as usual,


Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible
But God hath revealed them unto us,.... Should it be said, that since this wisdom is so hidden and mysterious, the doctrines of the Gospel are so unknown, so much out of the sight and understanding of men, how come any to be acquainted with them? The answer is ready, God has made a revelation of them, not only in his word, which is common to men, nor only to his ministers, but to private Christians and believers, by his Spirit; which designs not the external revelation made in the Scriptures, though that also is by the Spirit; but the internal revelation and application of the truths of the Gospel to the souls of men, which is sometimes ascribed to the Father of Christ. Matthew 16:17 sometimes to Christ himself, Galatians 1:12 and sometimes to the Spirit of Christ, Ephesians 1:17 and who guides into all truth, John 16:13, and here to the Father by the Spirit.
I meant to write 1 Cor 2:13 of course - the verse I was referring to in my post ( your key verse that you repeatedly claimed says all believers are taught new revelations by the Spirit). Not a single commentator agrees with your strange interpretation. Instead I showed you 45 that agreed with me that the "we" is Paul and the apostles.

“That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him:” (Ephesians 1:17 KJV)
That verse doesn't say God gives us new revelations by impressions, stirrings, or the like.

The example of Acts 5 is correct. If GOD was not with us Pentecostal folks, we would have died out long ago. MacArthur tried badmouthing us also, if it didn't work for him it's not going to work for anyone else..

Wrong again. The two verses I used show that Jesus was sent of the Father to do this or that and in all things. That is why I rightly divided the word here and that was what so was showing. Many believers use scripture like this and take verses from all over to prove truth.

And it also shows that as Jesus was sent by the Father and so all believers are sent as well. It said exactly what I was showing.

The Shane and correction is in you… sadly.
No, what you did was commit yet another interpretation fallacy - combining elements from 2 completely different and unrelated passages to derive a meaning that is alien to both.

By doing that you can make the bible saying virtually anything you like. Such as in the infamous example that the bible advocates suicide....

Mat 27:5 and Judas went and hanged himself
Luke 10:37 And Jesus said “You go, and do likewise."

It is known as the false combination fallacy....

Common errors in Biblical interpretation

I think you have probably committed every one of those interpretation fallacies from that list. Everyone here can now see how much you twist scripture in order to force in your unorthodox ideas into scripture. Your teaching is false, and not to be trusted.

So you must admit , even by your error here, that the Father does speak and teach in men. At least at one time. Even though it does not say that he will stop this speaking or teaching. They shall all be taught of God” shatters your straw man and house you build in the sea shore.
As I said, it is the fallacy of non-sequitur. Just because believers are drawn to Christ at salvation is not proof that God gives them new revelations in the future by impressions, stirrings or the like.

You'll need to find a better verse than that to prove your case.

If a claimed doctrine is not in scripture then it is to be rejected - "Do not go beyond what is written"

That is a misapplication of the verse.

You are in error to reject matters based on non-mention - it is clearly recorded that Jesus did many things not recorded. You would condemn these as well if they were claimed to have happened in this age.

No, what you did was commit yet another interpretation fallacy - combining elements from 2 completely different and unrelated passages to derive a meaning that is alien to both.
This is done justly and I used the scripture to show that Jesus was sent by the Father in both and he sends believers as the father sent him. This is what I was showing, Not your straw man fallacy. I don't think I have ever seen a more confused person twist scripture and use fallacy arguments more than you. You have no understanding of spiritual things at all from what you say. You run in a frantic fluster to many attacks on any scriptural correction or correction you get here. I see pride as the main error you are in, you act as if you are some great one, some great natural man in mans wisdom who uses excellency of speech and other mens words. You seem to be very troubled ay anything spiritual. But Christianity is a spiritual belief. Believers are taught by the Spirit, empowered by the Spirit, led by the Spirit, walk in the Spirit, worship in the Spirit, pray in the Spirit, speak in the Spirit, have revelations in the Spirit prophesy in the Spirit, speak in tongues as the Spirit gives utterance, live in the Spirit, have the Spirit of God dwelling in them. and many other spiritual realities as they live n Christ. Of which I and many other christians have experience many times, daily in fact. This is the normal christian life, or it should be.

Here are some of the false attacks you use in your discussion.

1. You just deny any scripture or correction towards your words and twist the text to try and make it not say what it does not say.

2. You attack the text in the manuscripts by saying the KJV is wrong. This is done by many when they cannot deal with the actual scripture and who resort to corrupt translations that disagree with eachother in thousands of places. Or you try and run to other versions. I use other versions to show you simply that the words I use are also used by others. But I only need the one book.

3. You run in a fearful frenzy to any commentator you think can agree with you. But mostly they do not disagree with what i say. And I do not put men above that which is written. There are many commentators that will agree with what I share but it is not a matter to me. I see the text and it is clear enough. God shows many proofs of the teaching I have been showing .

4. You try to go to the Greek or Hebrew to search in a fluster to find some meaning of a word that you think can change the clear meaning from scripture. I use the Greek and Hebrew as a general meaning of a word, I do not change the word as you do. I

5. When you are corrected clearly you try to change the subject and create another fallacy argument by going off in a different direction.

6. You try to build a straw man fallacy against what I say by reframing what you are trying to make me say and say things like I am trying to say that God speaks in impressions or esp, or feelings etc. I have shown I am speaking of hearing Gods voice, in words in the spirit and heart.

7. You try to arrack my person and say lies about me so many times I can barely present them al;l. This is done when your argument fails. I do not do this to you, i rebuke, correct, warn and exhort you, in hopes that you will see your error and come to the light of truth.

8. You also seem to trust a false reasoning that because you think a certain number of men do not see what I share ( even though others do) that the number of men that you use makes you right. This is a false reasoning. The majority is often wrong Icould bring many example for this.

By doing that you can make the bible saying virtually anything you like.
No, I do not do this. The hidden things of God are only seen and hear in the Spirit, and taught by the Spirit, which you claim to never have been taught this way. You act as if you just reading scripture and having it in your brain teaches you. This is not what scripture says.

But you on the other hand try to say that because Paul speaks of his own experience "also" to the Corinthians that that means only he and a few other apostles have the Holy Ghost Teach them" this is a false reasoning. It does not mean that no one else can have the Holy Ghost teaching just because Paul said the revelation of the things of God that he :also: spoke were from the Holy Ghost teaching. Your argument is childish and false and you are
Such as in the infamous example that the bible advocates suicide....

Mat 27:5 and Judas went and hanged himself
Luke 10:37 And Jesus said “You go, and do likewise."
thats ridiculous to apply that to what i show, and a false attack on the scriptures I rightly divided.
I think you have probably committed every one of those interpretation fallacies from that list.
I haven't committed any, all I say has a biblical foundation and a spiritual understanding. Even when you are rebuked or corrected or exhorted, this is part of Christian ministry. You know very little of the scriptures or the power of God. You have a form of godliness but seem to deny the power.
Everyone here can now see how much you twist scripture in order to force in your unorthodox ideas into scripture.
No, they can all see that you simply attack and deny the revelation of the Spirit in the lives of believers, and you are in trouble with God when you try to lead believers away from hearing Gods voice and knowing Him inwardly and the teaching of the Spirit and your bizzar views of 1 John 2:27 and 1 Cor 2 and many other verses expose your understanding. I feel like I talk to a religious man of Jesus day that Jesus constantly warned.

I and many other believers have experience of hearing Gods voice and unction and revelation and many things God has worked in our lives and directed us to do and say. You don't seem to have this so you simply attack those who di. This may be due to a wrong view of the gifts of the Spirit and apostles and prophets today. Which you seem to hide from that discussion for some reason, although it is very relevant to this discussion.
Your teaching is false, and not to be trusted.
No I teach what scripture teaches, I have not taught anything false, even the word of God coming to them or out of them understanding was accurate.

I showed you clearly that the Corinthians were enriched in everything by God and in all utterance. and they spoke by the Spirit and in words of prophecy from God and word of wisdom as a gift from God and a word of knowledge from God and tongues etc . But you just ignore these evidences and this is your fault in many places.
As I said, it is the fallacy of non-sequitur. Just because believers are drawn to Christ at salvation
This is your fallacy argument again. I never said this the way you do. I showed that all men who would come to Jesus had to have first been taught by God taught by the Father and heard him and this is inward in their heart as scripture shows. Thine they were " before they even met Jesus or heard him speak. Thine they were and the Father gave them to Jesus.

I will say another thing that you may not understand. But all the apostles were saved before they even met Jesus. When Peter said to Jesus that he was the Christ the Son of God, that was not the moment of his salvation. Jesus said His sheep hear his voice and they know him. They were already his sheep. He went by Matthew and said for him to follow him and Matthew left all and followed him right away. What repentance preaching or the gospel message did Jesus say to Matthew then?. He just told him to follow him.

But that evidenced that he was already saved and had heard from the Father who had taught him already. In fact Peter may have been saved as a child. The true Light lighteth every man that cometh into the world. And Peter and others had the Light in them shining. They had this true Light since they were born. if they , eventually in time were reproved by the light and looked to Gods righteousness and hungered after him and were taught f the father , then they would have life and have already repented and looked to God and His righteousness to be saved. That righteousness of God was revealed in Jesus Christ and his death and burrial and resurrection. But again this is a long teaching and you would just attack what was said.
is not proof that God gives them new revelations in the future by impressions, stirrings or the like.
I don't use your fallacy argument wording that you use in this particular discussion. I was not trying to prove that by this verse, this is your dishonest fallacy straw man arguments your do so often. It is dishonest and an attempt to escape the clarity of what I show.

I was firstly proving clearly that all are taught of God, and this is the Father teaching them inwardly in the spirit. It is not flesh and blood that teaches them this way or reveals things to them, but the father as jesus said. . That was my point. But you could not argue against that because the verse is very clear that all believers are taught of God. You said you have never been taught of God in the spirit, so what does that mean about you?

“It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God. Every man therefore that hath heard, and hath learned of the Father, cometh unto me.” (John 6:45 KJV)

I have said all alone that God speaks words in the spirit of believers, His voice and teaching . God can give many revelations as he did in 1 Cor 14 of anything. Even the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy. If a person has a spiritual revelation of Jesus or some wonder Jesus showed him. They are not adding to scripture but sharing the revelation. this is on some sense a new thing. But not to add to scripture. Your reasoning here is false again as usual. It is unbelievable how little you understand of spiritual things. But I suppose it should be understandable since you said you never had the Holy Ghost teach you.
You'll need to find a better verse than that to prove your case.
T This verse is powerful enough to deal with false teachings. And I believe thats what you say when verse is too strong and you cannot answer it. The one verse here shatters all your false teaching and confusion. Just this one verse alone. I have many verses shown here but this one verse that you don't even try to interpret because it soo clearly rebukes you and stops the mouths of gainsayers. Read it again and again in prayer and ask, seek and knock in humility.

All can see your avoidance of these type of verses. Just keep writing on and this will be helpful for you sometime , hopefully.

“It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God. Every man therefore that hath heard, and hath learned of the Father, cometh unto me.” (John 6:45 KJV). This is not just talking about apostles being taught of God, this one verse corrects that false teaching of yours also. And, no, just because Paul in a certain places speaks "also" of his experience, doent mean that what he says is just for him. I could bring many examples of this.

You do this with some verses that clearly correct you. Then you try and change the argument and never admit your error and that is a big problem..

If a claimed doctrine is not in scripture then it is to be rejected - "Do not go beyond what is written"
Again, you don't understand.

Many doctrines are taught and do not go against scripture for one things. They also are in scripture but many do not see them. For example the doctrine of the Trinity , though the word Trinity is not mentioned in scripture. It is however a vital doctrine. But it is found in scripture as we have spiritual revelation of the text and understanding. Many try to use the same bible to deny the Trinity and say that Jesus Christ is not God etc. So doctrine is also a revelation of God, even when using scripture.

Men like Abraham and Noah and others had somewhat doctrine or teaching from God and they had no scriptures at the time.

But we also read in Corinth

“How is it then, brethren? when ye come together, every one of you hath a psalm, hath a doctrine, hath a tongue, hath a revelation, hath an interpretation. Let all things be done unto edifying.”(1 Corinthians 14:26 KJV)

and

"Jesus answered them, and said, My doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me. 17 If any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself." ( John 7:16, 17 KJV)

"For whoremongers, for them that defile themselves with mankind, for menstealers, for liars, for perjured persons, and
if there be any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine;" ( 1 Timothy 1:10 KJV)

You often seem to go beyond what is written as I have shown many times.

And when the Corinthians had revelations of words of knowledge or prophecy forth telling or foretelling or speaking under unction) , or utterance given by the Spirit, that was not to be added to scripture. that was not them adding extra biblical revelations to the scripture. here were many things that were said by believers from God and the word of God coming to them and they speaking it that were not written down. Many...and Jesus also said and di many things not written down. The extra biblical revelations does not have meaning in this context as some try to make it.

Thats not why I used it. It shows clearly that worship, is only in spirit and truth. And to worship God in spirit can take many words and psalms and spiritual songs and hymns, not all written in scripture. I have heard songs that are given by the Spirit and new words not heard before.

I think you do not understand what "in spirit" or "in the spirit" means. Or the expressions, "speaking by the Spirit", or "filled with the Spirit", or, "to walk in the Spirit", or "live in the Spirit", or "strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man; 17 That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith" or "led by the Spirit", or "pressed in the spirit", or "the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life" or "

I meant to write 1 Cor 2:13 of course -
Lol, so now when you are clearly wrong and I quote a commentator that so heavily disagrees with you in this particular section of scripture, you do not admit your error at all, you rush in a frantic fluster to your vs 13 that you think shows Paul is speaking of his own experience and another persons or persons. But that is dishonest again. You clearly said,

"Against every single commentator, you have been desperately trying to argue that the "we" in 1 Cor 2 is all believers - all throughout this thread."

and now you try to run away from admitting your error.

and you didn't even comment on this correction to every thing you have been saying in this entire thread. I only used one commentator here, even though scripture corrects you all over.

read it again and notice the things he says that agree with what I have been saying. I don't need this mans words, but I show it to correct you with what you seem to trust in.

Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible
But God hath revealed them unto us,.... Should it be said, that since this wisdom is so hidden and mysterious, the doctrines of the Gospel are so unknown, so much out of the sight and understanding of men, how come any to be acquainted with them? The answer is ready, God has made a revelation of them, not only in his word, which is common to men, nor only to his ministers, but to private Christians and believers, by his Spirit; which designs not the external revelation made in the Scriptures, though that also is by the Spirit; but the internal revelation and application of the truths of the Gospel to the souls of men, which is sometimes ascribed to the Father of Christ. Matthew 16:17 sometimes to Christ himself, Galatians 1:12 and sometimes to the Spirit of Christ, Ephesians 1:17 and who guides into all truth, John 16:13, and here to the Father by the Spirit."


And other believers have agreed many times with what I have been sharing. But even if all did not agree I would not put men above that which is written and stand like Athanasius did , and say

“If the world is against the truth, then I am against the world.” (Athanasius of Alexandria)​


or Antipas, we read of him,

"He was brought before the court to be tried for the crime of being a Christian, but he refused to confess Caesar as lord. He said that there is only one Lord, and His name is Jesus Christ. And the Roman governor said, “don’t you know, the whole world is against you?” And he replied, “then I am against the whole world.” So they named him Antipas, “against everyone.”


the verse I was referring to in my post ( your key verse that you repeatedly claimed says all believers are taught new revelations by the Spirit)
I only said what the scripture says, not the words you try to put in my mouth.

I quoted

",,,for them that love him. 10 But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God. 11 For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God. 12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God." ( 1 Corinthians 2:9-12 KJV)

compare with


"I thank my God always on your behalf, for the grace of God which is given you by Jesus Christ; 5 That in every thing ye are enriched by him, in all utterance, and in all knowledge;" ( 1 Corinthians 1:4,5 KJV)

. Not a single commentator agrees with your strange interpretation. Instead I showed you 45 that agreed with me that the "we" is Paul and the apostles.
Show me the word "apostles" in that chapter. And I already showed clearly that even if Paul includes his own personal experience "also" in the revelation of the things of God that he said only the spiritual man can discern and not the natural man. That does not mean for a second that he is saying "and only apostles can have the revelation and teaching of the Holy Ghost", your false assumption is not scriptural or logical, and you add words to the text and go beyond that which is written and wrest Paul's words.

In fact, the "we" could be referring to all who are spiritual, who had spken in the Spirit often there in that church, and those that are perfect and who can judge and discern all things and have had revelation of the things of God as many of the Corinthians did. Or it could be referring to a man named "Sosthenes", that we read about in the first verse of chapter 1.

Paul said

“Paul, called to be an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and Sosthenes our brother,” ( 1 Corinthians 1:1 KJV)

He simply calls "Sosthenes" "our brother". he does not define him as an apostle. So he may simply be a fellow brother in Christ a companion of Paul in His work, or a minister, etc. We don't really know. So to say the "we" is only other apostles, is not clear. If the man mentioned was not an apostle, and the "we" includes him, then any brother in Christ can have the Holy Ghost teach him, for the "we" in that verse may simply be referring to Sosthenes, or any who are spiritual as Paul mentions in the following verses to vs 13.

There is only two verses that mention his name. It might be the same Sosthenes that was in Acts 18:17

“Then all the Greeks took Sosthenes, the chief ruler of the synagogue, and beat him before the judgment seat. And Gallio cared for none of those things.”"

and sometime from then to 1 Corinthians he may have been persuaded by Paul and become a brother in Christ.

I don't run from your verses at all. I have corrected your flawed understanding of every verse you have supplied that you think says God gives us new revelations by impressions, stirrings or the like.
Even here you have not corrected me. I did not say "God gives us new revelations by impressions, stirrings or the like", show me those exact words? I have said over and over that God speaks to believers with words in their spirit and His voice and teachings. I could also prove that God presses believers in spirit etc. Bit that is another discussion, not the thread we are in. This thread is talking about "

"God told me, God spoke to me" extra biblical revelation"​

If God speaks to us by such means it would be a vital doctrine that would be clearly and prominently stated in multiple scriptures.
Yes, it is a vital understanding. So important in fact that if a man says he is the sheep of Jesus the shepherd and does not hear His voice inwardly, then he must question his walk.

There are so many scriptures about these things all over the bible. Just because you seem to have blindness of heart and look with natural eyes, doesn't mean they are not there all over.
Yet nowhere does it instruct us to look to our inner impressions, stirrings etc for new revelations.
We are instructed that believers hear the voice of God in their heart and have God's word abiding in them, in spirit, they are pressed in the spirit and led by the Spirit and have revelation given as they wait in the Lord. No man can even know the Father but the Son and to whom he reveals him. So this revelation of God is vital.
More Ad-hominem lies.
I am not lying. That is a false accusation.

A matter not mentioned is that our redemption and sanctification renews the Whole Man - we are to become more like Jesus in every aspect of life.

This includes the imagination, the intuition, the conscience, - all become perfected by His work in our lives.

For this reason it is out of order to continue to put down for example role of the intuition which our friend hammers away at.

We learned to consecrate every aspect of self to God and give Him control and access to all of these aspects of our lives.

So a redeemed intuition can in fact save our lives. He can warn us of a threat by this means that we would never otherwise know about.

So I celebrate every aspect of the wonderful life I have been given - all are dedicated to Jesus and all are to be celebrated not berated and condemned.

Why the intense condemnation of the intuition ?

Who dares to condemn any aspect of the beautiful life we have been given - so wonderfully assisting us as it was created to do.

The key is using discernment on their doctrine. I have known a Christian who said God told him to do his ministry of helping the poor and it is a very fruitful ministry, faithful to God's word.

Yes when I ask folks who push a doctrine to speak of His fruit in their lives there is often silence.
