    Well Mitchell thought it was like two fish spitting sand at each other... He even posted a video... Then you said I don’t think arguing here is worth anything more than watching the spin cycle of a washing machine... Brother Glen:Roflmao

    I must share the best discernment ministry I have found online.

    Fighting for the Faith with Chris Rosebrough:

    Also, if anyone, like I was, is in a "vision casting" senior pastor-led church. Please listen to this radio program. This program also taught me to stop adding the teachings in Henry Blackaby's book "Experiencing God" to the bible to know God and His will, as if it was hidden truths about knowing God only revealed now.

    I went thru that book while in the AOG church, and would say that while the book seems to have some good teraching, would be very discerning on using it as a main study guide aid!

    The problem is that to know God and His will we must use the methods the bible gives us. Henry Blackaby is a kind of Baptist mystic in that, like the Charismatics, he thinks he has a special path to knowing God and His will. A fourfold path that is not clearly taught in the Word.

    Yes, as from what I remember, seems to add to the scriptures by dreams, experiences, etc!

    Yeah, dreams not so much, but he goes into how we know God and His will. It differs from the bible almost completely.

    Blackaby says we know God from the bible, but he adds our experiences in prayer, experiences with the church, and our circumstances. This is very deceptive since it makes human sense.

    However, Charismatics teach roughly the same thing. Also, if you are like me several years ago, an unsaved man going to a church run by a false teacher, waiting for supernatural experiences in prayer, using my circumstances to guide me, while narcissistically and eisigetically reading the bible...you are doomed unless you reject this stuff and respond to the steady conviction of the Holy Spirit.

    he also seems to forget that how God dealt wiht persons in the Bible was qyite a bit different than us today, as noneof them had a completed Bible could just flip open and study!
