  • 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.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

Yes they all seemed to know whether or not they had received.
The big one is how do other people know that someone has received. I usually go with why does anyone need to know.
it's good to know so you can either disregard everything they say or to believe everythign they say

Wouldn't you always go Berean and receive what is being said and then test it with scripture to see if it right? They definitely had lots of evidence that Paul was Spirit filled but they did it anyway.

Of course
And if they can't demonstrate it through scripture then they're a liar and should be disregarded

I wonder. Does this mean the Berean approach holds Scripture of the Spirit (or claims thereof) or maybe the Berean approach is Spirit led implying it's actually Spirit over Scripture? Am I ever going to catch my tail?

If someone told me the perimeter of a square is 16m but didn't demonstrate how it equaled that then why should i believe them? I always see demonstrate as "prove without a doubt" so when you demonstrate something you are proving your case in totality. So the perimeter of a square is 4x4 = 16m2. I thus gave a short demonstration why. If someone can't give me a why or how to their beliefs then logically their beliefs are false. Anyone who is unable to demonstrate their faith believe blindly. The berean approach seems the most logical since they demonstrate (or prove) the apostle Paul being genuine. I seen enough theology out there that are based on assumptions. They are unable to demonstrate.

It's obviously Spirit led xD

That's why I said why does anyone need to know. The Berean approach doesn't care whether you presented evidence that you are Spirit led or not. Your words are always tested and compared with Scripture regardless.

IJWTS:
Worry : to torment oneself with or suffer from disturbing thoughts; fret.

Worry lowers your health, causes you to be sad, despair, hopelessness.

Trust: reliance on the integrity, strength, ability, surety, etc., of a person or thing; confidence.

Trust raises your health level, causes you to be happy, hopeful and confident

So next time you worry trust instead :D

IJWTS - As Paul was making his defense, Festus yelled out, "You are insane Paul! All this knowledge is driving you mad!"
But Paul replied, "I am not mad, noble Festus; but I speak words of truth and reason.
For the king before whom I am speaking knows this and I'm convinced that nothing escapes his attention, since all this did not happen in secret.
King Agrippa, do you believe what the prophets have said? I know you do."
Then the king said to Paul, "You almost persuade me to become a Christian."
And Paul said, "I would hope to God that not only you, but also everyone hearing my voice today, would become such as I am, except for these chains."

Acts 26:24-29
