• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Is It Wrong to Feel electric-tingling of the Holy Spirit?

I remember a post from him a while back over in the controversial theology section where he made mention that he only retained the Charismatic title just so he could continue posting in this section, essentially just to stir up issues with people over here, so yes, if it acts like a duck, it's a duck.
I didn't mention names.

I've also noticed that as one get acclimated to softly criticizing the Holy Spirit it escalates and can get to that point of no return.

If a person spends all their time around youtube videos from cessasionalists all the time, they easily become like them. They start spouting their talking points.

Idolizing, (in the Biblical sense) Spiritless men has a way of doing that too.

I go by the fact that any manifestation that ain't in the Bible it ain't true. The Bible is God's complete word to man and contains everything that we need to know about how the Holy Spirit manifests Himself. If having electric type manifestation is of the Holy Spirit, He, being faithful to His word, would have included a description of it in the Bible.
Isn't the Bible a summary? Before Jesus' ascension He performed a great many signs and wonders. Typically accounts of preachings exclude physical manifestations. As the Spirit comes in there are reactions in the brain and body. Typically a feeling of warm or cold before a healing...

The gospels are considered accounts from witnesses but not complete accounts. Luke probably research things the most.

Yes, and there is the Bible on angels, the sons of God and more controversial matters. It is not literally complete.
