  • 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.

The Spirit of God rushed UPON Saul

1 Samuel 10:
9 As Saul turned to leave Samuel, God changed Saul’s heart,
but not Saul's inner spirit
and all these signs were fulfilled that day. 10 When they came to Gibeah, behold, a group of prophets met him, and the Spirit of God rushed upon him, and he prophesied among them.
but not in him
and he joined in their prophesying.

This spiritual influence was not permanent. Eventually, 1 Samuel 16:
14 Now the Spirit of the LORD had departed from Saul, and an evil spirit from the LORD tormented him.

Let this be a lesson for those who looked for only outward appearances of being filled with the Holy Spirit and not for the inner peace of the Indwelling Paraclete.

There is a marked difference between the Old Testament, where the Spirit of God came upon the King, Priest and Prophet and the indwelling of the Holy Spirit where our spirit and the Holy Spirit are one.
