I wouldnt worry about him/her much. The OP is a member of a cultic group founded by a couple of guys from China. Tragically much of my family is involved and I pray for them daily.

Yeah I just saw your post over there and googled the local church movement and I am reading about Watchman Nee now. Thanks for the heads up about this.

 

[Historynut]

Oddly enough it was my extreme discomfort in the local church that led me to investigate the historic church and from there came home to the orthodox church so there is hope.

 

[Historynut]

Now he is claiming not to be a member of the group but its rather rare to find someone who does not associate with the local churches that knows about the living stream ministry. He might be one of that groups numerous splinter factions.

If you read anything by the local churches and then read his blog its obvious he draws much of his theology from that group.

You mean, you weren't aware of this already????

Off to check this apostle out and inspect his/her fruit.

I hate to sound cold and crass....but that exchange is one of the funniest things I have read in a while.....talk about talking to a brick wall...

If you're talking to someone prideful enough to proclaim himself an "Apostle", don't count on getting anywhere whatsoever.

Well said. Anyone who thinks he is an apostle is in delusion and you aren't going to get anywhere with him.

One can only pray for his soul, that he be visited with humility.

Hubris runs amok in the Local churches movement which is a related but distinct member of the same church that the OP in that thread was from. I would suspect it is the same in his church as well.

Discussion with these types makes little progress so prayer is basically our only hope.

They fear our prayers the most.

We got the power! he he

In the more ancient times, when the people of Russia were threatened, they would carry the Icon of Our Lady the Theotokos in procession, and Our Lady would appear bigger than life and scare the unbelievers.

Would that that would happen in our times.

Yet, many muslims are having visions and becoming Christians.
One lady in our Church who is a recent convert had a dream that the Last Judgment was coming soon.

Our young women dreaming dreams?
Is this a sign of the end times?

Let us hope.

 

[ikonographics]

Don't place importance on dreams...they can be just as dangerous as self proclaimed "Apostles".

 

[MariaRegina]

Of course I realize that dreams are usually just expressions of subconscious desires, but sometimes God does speak to us in dreams.

I know several muslims who had dreams that lead them to the Holy Orthodox Church.
And they continue to have dreams. They are some of the most wonderful Christians and are very grateful to God.
