Okay....Well still, that's important to pray about too.... even more so than actual rain..... To be honest I didn't actually watch the video, just read peoples post. So I probably shouldn't of posted. Sorry......

Yes I am getting involved with it... Ideally we would be already doing these things in our lives.Sorry to post so many in a row ,but are any of you'se actually considering getting envolved in this, or are you just, going, umm that's a good idea and sitting back...
Would you be concerned if they had chosen the date 6-6-6 last year?But corporate prayer is a good place to start.
I think it is best to leave this decision up to God.
I think you are reading more into this than what is necessary.
When Sunday law is put into effect, where do you think the corporate structure is going to be?Can you provide me with the quote that directly says this?
The remnant will be just what they are as described in Rev. 14:12
Did they tell you this?
By the way, what's wrong with celebrating the victory that Jesus Christ wrought for us all?
Should we be in mourning?
It's still an event sponsored and promoted by GC, isn't it?My understanding is that this did not originate with GC. It is a call for revival by prayer and putting away of sin by the people in an organised manner and petitioning God for the outpouring of the spirit.
The name 'Operation Global Rain' and praying 10 days certainly have the appearance of asking for the latter rain.Maybe we shouldn't participate because it doesnt fit a theoretical model of how things are "supposed" to happen? Look and see the pharisees already tried that the first time around.
It is not claimed that this will bring about the latter rain, the spirit is not under our control, rather than condemning such a movement why not encourage people to truely put away sins in their lives and earnestly seek God with their brothers and sisters.
It's great if it gets people to pray and consecrate themselves. But don't use global rain as the name and 10 days of prayer format.I think most adventists will not participate in this either because they are too "enlightened" or their hearts are too hard but what a great opportunity for churches to get together and seek God with all their heart, mind, soul and strength.

I see that you have over 5000 CF blessings. When you came to have 666 CF blessings, did you count it as a curse, or a blessing?
In other words, does the figure of 666 necessarily constitute something evil? For example, does it then mean that everything that was done on June 6 of 2006, was necessarily evil because the numbers appear as 6/06/06?
I think you are reading too much into this.
Truth is, you can get all caught up in rendering assumed conclusions about numbers, or you can stick to the facts.
What are the facts?
The facts are that these people want to foster a genuine relationship with Jesus Christ. Period.
It doesn't matter what day or time they choose to do this either. What matters is that they have chosen to do it. And just as they have chosen to do this, you can choose to either continue criticizing them for making this choice, or you can join them in their effort to get closer to God.
If, and when this happens, you can ask me this question again, and I will answer it.
Furthermore, we are not talking about what constitutes Sabbath observance here. We are talking about people who have a desire to unite with each other in the name of Jesus Christ.
By the way, neither one of the quotes that you provided us with specify that the 'leader' of the GC will encourage people to apostatize.
And even if you could provide us with such a quote, that wouldn't absolutely guarantee that such a thing would happen. Time will tell.
"men in responsible positions...from sacred desk..." You don't think that can apply to GC leaders?
I didn't intend to argue with anyone over this. Just something to think about.
Ok, here is why...
'In one accord'...that's the exact reason it will not happen. The church is not united in the single purpose God ordained her to do: the proclamation of the Three Angels' Message. In reality, the church does not actively preach this message at all. The latter rain is given for those who preach the 3rd angel's message.
The vast majority of the SDAs are not ready to receive the latter rain. Holy spirit can not be given to people who are not consecrated.
In ocultism, the number 6 is synonymous with the number 7. The end date of Global Rain is 7th of July, 07. 777 is used by spiritualists to masquerade 666. Jesus's name in Greek is 888.
GC will not lead the church in preparing for the return of Jesus. On the contrary, the SOP tells us the leader in GC will lead the majority into apostasy, into captivity.
Do you think the church structure will not exist in the end. Only the name Seventh Day Adventist will exist. The remnant scattered across preaching the 3rd angel's message and those who accept and the message will receive the latter rain.
IMO, they are trying to bring pentecostalism and celebration church to the forefront.
Actually I do. If you look at the track record of GC in the recent decades, it's not hard to see who's agenda has been carried out. I don't doubt there is God's people in the leadership. But the top of the structure has become catholic.It seems that you have something against any major organized event in our church?
Not so. The apostles were in one accord. That's how the former rain fell.Well I do agree that not all SDA's are in one accord or that all are preaching the 3AM. However, the Bible does teach that the wheat is to grow with the tares. Even back in apostle times, not everyone in the church was completely sincere.
As far as whether the SDA church will last until the end, there is no definite answer that I am aware of. Whether the church lasts into the future or not, however, shouldn't cause us to look at it negatively now at this point in time. The future is the future. Right now is right now. And right now there are many SDA's coming together to pray.
Not so. The apostles were in one accord. That's how the former rain fell.
I wonder why people are trying to purify the church here. Didn't God say He would do that at His return?

I'm not really sure what you are getting at by that post.I wonder why people are trying to purify the church here. Didn't God say He would do that at His return?

Parable of the field with both tares and grain.
