See that I believe. One speaking in and one to interperat.
But I also know their is the false ones out there too.
The guy speaking in tounges GOD gave a stamp of truth on with the interpration.
Which is very rare. He gave you a way to test it.
Thats who you can tell is from GOD or not. He doesnt get offended if you test them.
He tells us to do so.

Thxs For the reply. BTW what did he say.
You have no limit to the amount of sin permissible, that is a long way, meaning not even close, as in an infinite distance, from the idea of "sinless perfection" (your words and not mine, and another example of your deception). According to your philosophy, not one single step away from sin and towards holiness is required or demanded for salvation, thus giving license to sin as much as one wants, seeing it is unconditional salvation (according to this philosophy).
No, refusing to embrace sinless perfection is not "giving a license to sin".
No, it's not, and again, this is another example of your deception. They are not the same thing. To start with, I did not say perfection because I know only God is perfect. That is one deception. Saying not embracing perfection is the same thing as acknowledging we make mistakes is your second deception because there is no way that this could be true. You deny that we can be holy, at all. So you are just talking about imagined degrees of sinfulness.
It's merely acknowledging that while we are trapped in our flesh we will make mistakes from time to time.
I hope you do not mean"living is sin" and will take this as a typo and that you meant, "living in sin". So, to understand you, not having a conviction of being sinful is an indication of having no Spirit, or saving faith. Oh, so are you now saying there are conditions for salvation? That condition is feeling sinful, so I guess the more sinful you feel, then the more you know you are saved. Hmm very interesting nice way to deceive people in accepting their not having been converted. They still feel sinful and they are told that this is normal and actually a good thing. I never said anyone should ever feel like they have no sin, I am saying they need to examine themselves constantly to see what they are doing which is not right, and to stop doing what that is but it is a never ending process. To think you have reached a state of perfection first of all would probably be a result of some type of insanity, and it would get you by not noticing new sins coming up, after you stopped doing an old sin. Like I say, the struggle is not over untill we are standing on the sea of glass.
Living is sin without conviction is a good indication that we don't have saving faith or the indwelling of the Holy Spirit.
You need to show me that.
The Greek signifies a continuing willful practice of sin, not random mistakes.
Good one.
The love doth never fail. . .
Another one to add to my list of basic doctrines of the sect. I only listed three earlier, rapture, world hegemony by Zionist Jews, unconditional salvation. Now, Jesus as God Almighty. Now I see how that fits into the false prophet philosophy. Well now you are giving me an education on this religion which brings about Armageddon. I've wondered why this was so important to them and now I know, to create legitimacy for lack of morality. What a clever deception. Jesus was not one of us so we can never be like Jesus, so no need to ever think you can put away your sins. Satan loves that.
Christ was an otherwise "normal" person? No, Jesus Christ is God Almighty who added humanity to His divinity.

Man, that woman really gets around lol
Seriously though – I know what you mean, and I forgot to mention that the guy who prayed in tongues on stage, was prophesying for the whole Church and it’s members. And I think the woman volunteered, after being in prayer herself, but it was well known in the Church, that she could interpret tongues.

Really, you think god proves himself? The words of the devil, I say. The one who told Jesus, "if you are truly the Son of God, make these rocks turn into bread."
. . .to prove His divinity. . .

I didn’t even know there were false ones. I only just found out about the “counterfeit spirit” after reading the “The Secret book of John” last week.

Deception, yes because I use the correct term for "grace". Unmerited favor. A gift. Apparently who you give people gifts they need to earn them from you. Jesus is God in the flesh, He was killed for blasphemy, and resurrected Himself to prove His divinity.
"No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of my own accord. I have authority to lay it down, and I have authority to take it up again. This charge I have received from my Father.” John 10:18
I believe He is who He said He was. No one in this conversation is being deceptive other than yourself, you consistently twist what I say and believe to suit your agenda. People burn down straw men when they cannot attack the actual position itself. It's quite telling, both of your lack of scripture to defend against my actual position, and your integrity. You'll lie about someone to try and make a point. It's quite childish JM.
Jesus recognizes there is One above him from whom he receives his authority.
This is why the Father loves me – because I lay down my life, so that I may take it back again. No one takes it away from me, but I lay it down of my own free will. I have the authority to lay it down, and I have the authority to take it back again. This commandment I received from my Father.”

Let me quote the passage.
Jesus recognizes there is One above him from whom he receives his authority.
This is why the Father loves me – because I lay down my life, so that I may take it back again. No one takes it away from me, but I lay it down of my own free will. I have the authority to lay it down, and I have the authority to take it back again. This commandment I received from my Father.”
El Shaddai, is who you are claiming Jesus to be when you say, Jesus is God Almighty.
I don't see how you make the connection, unless it is from Revelation when John sees an angel looking like brass and fire and hair like wool, saying things in the name of Jesus and God. You are, to use your term, conflating the two, or you believe the angel was literally Jesus, which the text never says.
So you have this whole theology that Jesus is El Shaddai, by taking part of a verse out of context. Now I see why the creators of your sect's philosophy included that, and to destroy Christian morality by saying Jesus was El Shaddai and not a man (that we can not be like Jesus because he was God Almighty, and not a man like us). I will have to take back what I said earlier, and amend it to say, This IS the anti-christ religion And the False Prophet of Revelation.
Right in the midst of all this is what we need to look at to see who Jesus was, The offspring of David. He was completely human. He may have been god in a former life, but he found himself in this life, being a man and humbled himself accordingly.
"I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty." ~ Revelation 1:8
"I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last....
I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star." ~ Revelation 22:13-16
Jesus Christ, the Alpha and Omega, the Almighty, the LORD.

Which I have only encountered the fake ones.
A friend told me about the Secret Book of John, where can I get it at?
John details what the spirit of antichrist is: Someone who denies the deity of Jesus Christ and also denies the relationship between the Father and the Son. Islam does this. Jehovah's Witnesses do this. Mormons do this. THE antichrist (hu antiristos), personal pronoun specific, is a man who will exhalt himself above anything called God. He will exhalt himself above, YHWH, Jesus, Allah, anything, meaning he will have a world religion created to worship him as God. And he will sit in the temple of God, claim to be God, and demand worship as God. A modern-day King Nebuchadnezzar. His false prophet will erect an image for the world to worship. Lastly, "ante" in Greek means "in place of", not "against/opposite".
1JN 2:22 Who is the liar? It is the man who denies that Jesus is the Christ. Such a man is the antichrist--he denies the Father and the Son.
