You are exaggerating as I never said whole congregations....why do you embellish what I said.
@@@I never said that you said anything about whole congregations.
I have no problem with accepting that there are false anointings at work outside the church and can occur inside.
It hasn't affected me in praying and believing for the miraculous and to see great things occur.
I have prayed for thousands of people over my time in ministry and seen wonderful things happen.
I don't know why believers get offended because I believe false anointings can occur.
@@@I didn't get offended.
This has absolutely nothing to do with cessationism or non charismatic people who write books and slam charismatic practises.
@@@I don't think your view has but there is a common theme that is worth discussing in terms of what is possible (your version) and what isn't possible (MacArthur etc). The difference has become quite clear in this discussion, apart from your imagining that I am attacking you personally or insisting that (you specifically) believe something that you don't.
It is what it is....my reply would be....start operating in the discerning of Spirits so you know the difference
@@@I've seen pretty much a whole congregation operate in a carnal mimicking of a spiritual phenomena and that gift showed me the heart of some of the people who were involving themselves in that. There was a common theme to it but it wasn't demonic. Maybe over time a congregation might grow sufficiently carnal to tilt over into the demonic but then I'd question how much faith there is left among them at the same time. Like Catholics gone Charismatics and then they suddenly become more Marian than they ever were before. What happened there ??
