What?!?!

I was so disappointed when I read the shack - I didn't even think it was well written. I seemed to have missed the assumed universalist undertones but the thing that annoyed me the most was his potrayal of the trinity as being like a circle (I think that's how it was described) and his view that...

As far as I see it sickness can be a result of the fallen world we live in, a result of our own sinful behaviour, or a direct attack from the devil. The world is in the state it is because of the devil, when we sin we open a door to allow him to come in and so as I see it all sickness is...

Thanks for sharing that testimony. Amazing! Sorry that so many are doubting and questioning.

Hi and welcome! We have a statement of faith at the top of the forum which summarises our beliefs. Might be worth taking a look at that. I was completely unaware until I came here that some spirit filled believers were non word of faith. My understanding about what they believe is that most of...

If it is quite a large fellowship then I think you would probably find some spirit filled believers in there. I thin k the larger churches are often more charismatic than many of the smaller fellowships who are trying to cling on to the past. Let me know how you get on. x

We ard as members all encouraged to tithe. The church itself tithes the offerings given and 10% goes directly to the mission fund I think.

Like a lot of denominations, the baptist church has extremes at both ends of the spectrum. Our fellowship is probably going to split soon as we now have a spirit filled pastor but a number of the congregation are not of that inclination!! My real prayer for many baptists is that they would be...

I can by nature be quite serious but have learnt in the past year or so to lighten up a bit. What can really irritate me is when I am serious or quiet, other less serious people feel the need to try and get me to act more happy or liven up a bit. I find it offensive and patronising that just...

Pete I think you have shown a lot of grace in your responses and I agree with all that you are saying. Every aspect of marriage has to be protected and I admire you for that. Tamara are you actually married? You don't display that icon. I'm just asking because a lot of what you are saying...

I must say I'm shocked at some of the bannings that have been going on round here. Reminds me of the attitudes of the Pharisees to Jesus!

Can't believe I've just wasted five minutes of my life Reading this thread! The same old people making the same old arguments! Hope the main wof forum is up and running soon and I can steer clear of this drivel! (not directing that to you Balance, was a good op but has been taken over by the...

I have spoken with my pastor alone on many occassions. Very sensibly though he always takes women out to coffee shops etc for meetings so there is privacy but still people around iykwim!

I guess if it's a separate forum and not a part of the main sfc forum do ofthe negative bashers might actually forget about us and leave us in peace!

Good thread! I am on a prophetic hunt at the moment and am determining to find out as much as possible about how the prophetic gift can and does flow. Have started Reading "Growing in the prophetic" by Mike Bickle in which he explains the several differing levels of the prophetic. The first...

Amazing! Will pray for God's anointing on all that you do.

Thanks for all your responses. I think it's amazing how God can meet us in so many different ways but agree that the important thing is not what might or might not happen in a physical sense but what the spiritual response is and the change in our relationship with God.

Just interested in what physical manifestations of the Holy Spirit you have experienced and how you feel these affected your relationship with God. My main experience has been an inability to stand up due to the intensity of the presence of God. At first I was very susceptible, ironically I...

Sorry for any comments that I may have made that offended you. I was wrong to jump to conclusions based on assumptions. Please accept my apology. xx

IKTCA - if you do not believe that Holy Spirit baptism is subsequent to salvation , then should you be displaying WoF icon. The WoF statement of faith for this forum states that Holy Spirit baptism is a secondary event. I am not trying to be controversial (or get rid of you - you seem a decent...
