I need to be better at this.
This describes the the exact belief that I have on spiritual gifts in general, not just prophetic revelation.
I, currently in my ongoing learning, don’t really like when people refer to specific sins as “the spirit of [variable (types of) sin]” because that implies that there is a specific demon or spiritual entity that controls that specific sin. That could be the case, but I don’t believe that is ALWAYS the case.
Also, the subject of disfellowship is a murky one for multiple reasons, yet Chris LaSala speaks in objective, black-and-white terms about it. Should a very promiscuous person be kicked out of the church? I believe that, as with everything, the answer changes depending on the situation. If this person is promiscuous in their own personal life but doesn’t (generally) bring this into the fellowship of the body of Christ, then this would be a case where, if they are led by the Holy Spirit, an individual person CAN go to them PRIVATELY but it isn’t exactly necessary for the entire church to get involved. If this person is promiscuous at church, then a group of head members of the church (the only time the entire congregation should be involved is if the church is smaller than 10 people, and that is a HUGE maybe) should pull them to the side and have a gracious and loving, yet corrective and, if necessary, stern conversation about the person’s behavior and how to correct it. If the person is still promiscuous in church after the conversation, the head members of the church should discuss whether it is appropriate to bar this person from serving in the church or attending the church altogether depending on the level of severity. If they are told not to be part of the fellowship anymore, you shouldn’t completely shun them, heck, you should go OUT OF YOUR WAY to be friendly to them, ask them if they’re doing alright, if they need anything, eat lunch with them, anything BUT shun them!
Also, Jesus never taught grace; really?!
This is such a powerful testimony!
I obviously don’t agree with everything that they do, but it’s AMAZING, they’re going into bars and places where sin abounds and preaching the Word! Also, they are very talented.
In my understanding, both Thomas Albin Holmes and Brandon McGuire are correct. The death and resurrection of the Christ is both penal substitutionary atonement for our sins, AND ALSO it’s proof that the claims that He made are true.
This is very true.

Some of the things he’s describing that happened to him spiritually, are things that people have to spend their entire lives learning and he experienced them over such a small amount of time! Praise God!
Part one of this was in the last list of links that I compiled. Wow, this is crazy!
I believe this is exactly correct! This applies to anything, meat offered to idols, baptism, how someone dresses, how someone prays, how someone interprets, anything. Sure, there’s likely an objectively correct way to think about these things, but it does nothing in the realm of salvation.
After about the 27:56 is the main part of this interview that I’m paying attention to. I might not agree with everything that George believes, but how he goes about learning everything is what I would define as biblical.
This is very interesting! Of course, I probably will never know if this is true or not, but it would be awesome to know that people in China were worshiping the the same God that we believe in before Christianity came to China!
Amazing testimony! I pray that this happens more often and to more people!
