Would Jesus teach us to follow Charismatic/Pentecostal doctrine? |

"For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ. Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble; Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is. If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward. If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire." (1 Corinthians 3:11-15)"In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise, Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory." (Ephesians 1:13-14)"And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand." (John 10:28)
"As soon then as he had said unto them, I am he, they went backward, and fell to the ground." (John 18:6)[NOTE: Falling BACKWARD is a sign of judgment, as opposed to falling FORWARD in reverence and worship of God.]"And the four and twenty elders, which sat before God on their seats, fell upon their faces, and worshipped God," (Revelation 11:16)
"For God is not the author of confusion,..." (1 Corinthians 14:33a)"Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men." (Matthew 12:31)
"So like wise ye, except ye utter by the tongue words easy to be understood, how shall it be known what is spoken? for ye shall speak into the air. There are, it may be, so many kinds of voices in the world, and none of them is without signification. Therefore if I know not the meaning of the voice, I shall be unto him that speaketh a barbarian, and he that speaketh shall be a barbarian unto me. Even so ye, forasmuch as ye are zealous of spiritual gifts, seek that ye may excel to the edifying of the church."
(1 Corinthians 14:9-12)"Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered." (Romans 8:26)"Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men." (Matthew 12:31)[NOTE: The definition of "UTTER", or uttered -- A manner of SPEAKING. So, if the Holy Spirit is "uttering" intercession FOR you, then the words CAN NOT be SPOKEN. Further, the word "unknown" as it is written in the King James Bible (1 Corinthians 14:2), is italicized indicating that it is a word that was added to the original text only for clarification in reading. As such it meant, and still means; a recognized foreign language being spoken by a person that is otherwise unknown to those of that part of the world -- NOT gibberish otherwise originating from an "unknown" source. If I can bind your "unknown tongue" which you believe is of angels -- then I can tell you exactly what kind of "angels" you're playing with -- FALLEN ANGELS.]
"Be not deceived; God is not mocked:..." (Galatians 6:7a)"Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men." (Matthew 12:31)
"But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtlety, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ. For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him." (2 Corinthians 11:3-4)
"Blasphemy is to attibute to God that which is contrary to his nature, and does not belong to him, and to deny what he does." (Webster's Unabridged Dictionary, 1879)
In the account of Matthew 12:24, the Lord is accused of casting out devils by the power of Satan:
"But when the Pharisees heard it, they said, This fellow doth not cast out devils, but by Beelzebub the prince of the devils."
In other words, willfully attbituting the glorious works of God the Holy Ghost to Satan.
To which the Lord replied to the Pharisees,
"Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men."
(Matthew 12:31)Conversely, and by definition; willfully attributing the deceptive works of Satan as being those of God the Holy Ghost.
An Interesting Note: Several years ago my husband, Gary, visited his foster mother, then 82 years of age, and asked her a question. She had been brought up in and attended a 'Foursquare' Pentecostal church the majority of her life and was still, at that time, a devout "Full Gospel" advocate. So during their conversation one day, he asked if she spoke in "tongues"? When she simply replied, "No.", he asked her, "Why not?". This, her reply; a contradiction, befuddled him, "Because I'm afraid I might blaspheme God the Holy Spirit", she stated. And that was the end of that conversation. It wasn't until much later that it dawned on Gary, "Why not?". Did she know something, a matter of "life or death", that so many others of her "persuasion" had failed to grasp?
WARNING: There are very powerful demons (fallen angels), that can immatate God -- the Father, the Son, and/or the Holy Ghost.
"Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God: And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world."
(1 John 4:1-3)
