    Question

    Something about "spitting out the bones" here...
    I haven’t found any scriptures to support that concept. Anyway, I always thought the ”spitting out the bones” theory referred to MINOR differences in doctrine, not when it comes to doctrines of demons.

    Oh well, I’ll just stick with solid Bible doctrine. In these Last Days, I don’t need to be mixing it up. The world is going to hell in a hand basket and I need to be on solid ground. Can’t be having different doctrines floating around in my spirit while I’m trying to witness to folk.

    It amazes me that some Christians believe they’re immune from being affected by listening to or reading twisted doctrine on a regular basis.
    When your praise match your prayers, the answer will come.

    Hey, VW,
    All I mean is simply I agree/disagree with various folks to one degree or another. I know where to *filter* various people and positions because I know where they are coming from. Everybody starts somewhere (e.g. Baptist church), then make mods as we go along. For example, Bishop Kenneth Ulmer got his initial studies at Grace Brethren Church, then adjusted to P/C persuasion,

    RC on, say, Genesis, OK. RC, on, say, Gifts of the HS and Charismatics: Seriously disagree.

    I agree with both of those statements. Good points. God made our soul to adapt what it's exposed to. All you can do is control what it's exposed to. Once you expose it, then you don't have control over what it does to your soul. So many Christians think 'I can watch this, or read this, or listen to this, but it doesn't affect me'. That's deception. You have no control over how it affects you once you decide to expose your soul to it. Your only control is wether you are going to expose yourself to it or not.

    He had some good things to say in certain topics, yes, I agree. But he was against Charismatics. One if his YouTubes was about "fatal flaws" in the Charismatic movement.

    If course, they were not "fatal" or "flaws", but concerns that can easily be answered or refuted.

    I listen to him frequently, but I cannot really concur that he is a very good teacher. At times he presented some good material, however, he was a Presbyterian and he preached and taught reformed/Presbyterian theology which in my humble opinion is very deficient of truth.

    One day I was very disturbed to hear him defend and attempt to make a case for infant baptism. It was nothing but pure religious malarkey.

    He often stated that God does NOT love everyone unconditionally and he opposed the idea that God has a wonderful plan for people and wants all people to be saved. This is a natural result of his Calvinist/reformed theology that states that God ordains all of the evil in the world, and that God predestines many people for eternal damnation in hell, .... corrupt theology!!!

    He also opposed the Charisma of the Holy Spirit.

    Dr Sproul and Mr MacArthur were birds of a feather in their false teachings opposing the move of the Spirit of God.

    Any preaching or teaching that stops people from speaking in tongues and prophesying by the Holy Spirit is in direct rebellion against he Word of God in 1 Cor 14:39 Therefore, my brethren, desire earnestly to prophesy, and do not forbid to speak in tongues.

    I often listen to Dr Sproul so that I can learn to address the "talking points" of reformed theology, .... but I feed daily on good teaching from the Word of God regarding faith, God's healing grace, the person and work of the Holy Spirit, and God's love in seeking the lost to be saved.

    God said, 1 Cor 12:1 Now concerning spiritual gifts, brothers, I do not want you to be ignorant.
    DBT renders it, "But concerning spiritual [manifestations], brethren, I do not wish you to be ignorant."

    Just because he is a false teacher does not make him good at teaching.

    I'm glad that I can receive truth from Sproul, MacArthur, Hayford, Hagin, Piper, Kenyon, Nee, Murray, and a whole bunch of other believers. I just know their strong points and their weak points. If you get a steady diet from just one stream of the faith, you're more likely to be stunted in your spiritual growth. You need the Brussel sprouts and cabbage along with the steak and potatoes.

    I always wondered why you were so screwed up and fragmented in your belief system.

    I think the word you mean is “balanced.”
