My morning started with a bunch of UPCI'ers trying to sell me donuts to finance their religious cult. Then I sat in a pentecostal church and listened to the most sickening prayer ever!

This preacher called the older(10 ten-years-old) of his two daughters to the pulpit. Calling her a prophetess, the preacher explained that his younger daughter had recently had a birthday party. It was raining, he said. So the prophetess prayed to God for the rain to stop. After the party, the prophetess prayed to God to restart the rain! Encomium broke out all over the room. Virtually everyone was expressing themselves in faked infantile gibberish. Do you really believe God answers self-centered prayers? Get real!

I still have a hard time believing intelligent people would fall for these snake-oil salesmen. Here is a deal for UPCI’ers. Sell donuts for me, at least I will take the money and feed the homeless with it.

Come Mr. Arron, I have answered your question repeatedly. God commanded that I take up an apologetic ministry ministering to those caught up in the pseudo-christian cult of pentecostalism. I condemn all aberrant religions, not just the filthology of pentecostalism.

Now let us be honest for a moment. The only reason you are interested in which church I attend is so you can start an argument to distract from the garbology of pentecostalism. Get over it!

Mr. Arron:

Quoting: "because that whichis not of GOD is demon inspired"
End quote.

Are you finally acknowledging the origins of pentecostalism?

Come now, Mr. Arron, I simply quoted Mrs. Acts238. Her religion is one that promotes compromise. The people in Acts 8:12; Acts 19:1; Matthew 7; Matthew 25; and quiet a few in the desert, in fact, were lost.

Arron, if you want to know about TATM's beliefs, then I suggest that you visit the site rachel quoted above.

That is "THE" site where you can learn what TATM is all about.



Sometimes, we gotta do our own homework. This may be one of those times arron.

Mr. Arron:

Read this verse.

"And it came to pass, that, while Apollos was at Corinth, Paul having passed through the upper coasts came to Ephesus: and finding certain disciples, He said unto them, Have ye received the Holy Ghost since ye believed? And they said unto him, We have not so much as heard whether there be any Holy Ghost." Acts 19:1 - 2 (KJV).

Here is a link in case you do not have a Bible.

http://www.blueletterbible.org/kjv/Act/Act019.html#top

What does that verse say in reference to the Holy ghost?

Hello Mr. Ezekiel_37:

You may or may not like the porno site pentecostalism built in my honor better than the site referenced above. You walk on a pentecostal carefully. Somewhere is a website named Master Baites with my name on it. The pentecostal bishop who started the site lives in OKC and drives a hearse part time.

Come Mr. Arron, you claim to understand English. Read exactly what the verse says, not what your religion told you to say.

And it came to pass, that, while Apollos was at Corinth, Paul having passed through the upper coasts came to Ephesus: and finding certain disciples, He said unto them, Have ye received the Holy Ghost since ye believed? And they said unto him, We have not so much as heard whether there be any Holy Ghost." Acts 19:1 - 2 (KJV).

Hey TATM, why do you ignore this question? I am truly curious just how God "commanded" you to "take up" your "ministry".

Please, illuminate us!

Why would you infer from my question that I'm "looking for an argument"? You have mentioned your "calling" and used it to provide some credence, from you POV, as to what you do here. I'm simply asking for some explanation. St. Paul's calling is recorded a couple times in scriptures for the whole world to see. You've equated yourself with him, I would think you would wish to emulate him in this as well.

You also are very good at asking questions, but not so good at answering them.

No, you redirected. Telling me to "ask God" is not an answer, it's an evasion. I thought you were big on intellectual honesty, but quite frankly, I don't see it. I see a lot of evasion, ambiguity, etc. These are not the characteristics of a God-called person.

TATM

I'm not here to defend the UPC, but I do have a question, in response to your start of this thread:

You said, "This preacher called the older(10 ten-years-old) of his two daughters to the pulpit. Calling her a prophetess, the preacher explained that his younger daughter had recently had a birthday party..." Obviously, you stated this in a negative light.

What do you think of Acts 21:8-9 - "Leaving the next day, we reached Caesarea and stayed at the house of Philip the evangelist, one of the Seven. He had four unmarried daughters who prophesied."

M(r)(s). Mhead66:

The four daughters prophesied Paul's impending trouble with the Jews at Jerusalem. How does that compare here? Or were you hoping I did not read the passage? Acts 21:8 - 14

TATM

You are correct, in saying that the four daughters prophesied Paul's impending trouble with the Jews at Jerusalem. I brought up this point to illustrate that:

1. Born again children are not Biblically prohibited from functioning in spiritual gifts. It is true that we do not know if these four daughters were children, but Acts lists them as virgins that lived at home, and in Biblical days, women generally married young. I am making an inference, but the start of your thread seemed to condemn the preacher with a ten year old girl who was claimed to be a prophetess. My point was that this is Biblically possible.

2. You said, "Do you really believe God answers self-centered prayers?" Well, James 4:2 says, "ye have not, because ye ask not." James 5:17 says Elijah prayed for it not to rain for 3 1/2 years, and God answered that prayer. I realize that Elijah did not pray to be able to have a party, but I believe God would answer the faithful prayer of a believing child, if only to build her faith. God is a loving God, and we can't put Him into a box. He is sovereign. I would rather believe Him for too much than not enough.

Mr. Mhead66:

I will pay your travel to any children's hospital in the world. You empty that hospital based on James 4:2. Again, you pull scripture out of context to support your religious beliefs. Elijah prayed to glorify God. The rain, in this case, may well have glorified God even more than the sunshine for a birthday party.

TATM - Regarding clearing out hospitals by healing: In the Gospels, Jesus did not always heal everyone around Him, nor did He go out in search of people to heal. He healed all those who came to Him or those whom God placed in His path.
For example, Jesus healed a lame man at the pool of Bethesda, but apparently He did not heal any of the great number of lame people who were also there (John 5:2-9).
Another man, crippled from birth, was brought to the temple gate every day to beg, and he was healed by Peter and John (Acts 3:2-8). Jesus probably passed by this man many times as He went in and out of the temple gate, yet Jesus never healed him.
There are a number of passages that say Jesus healed all the sick, but these were people who came to Him or who were brought to Him. These were not people whom Jesus sought out to heal.

Since Jesus did not automatically heal everyone around Him, and since He did not seek out people to heal, and since there is no record of Him going around emptying out leper colonies, we have no Scriptural command and no Scriptural precedent for trying to empty out hospitals.

Jesus clearly showed us that a person's faith is often an important ingredient in his healing, and that is why we often see Jesus and the apostles preaching and teaching before doing any healing. In Matthew 13:58 and Mark 6:5-6, Jesus did not heal because of a lack of faith: Mark 6:5-6 says, "And He could there do no mighty work, save that He laid His hands upon a few sick folk, and healed them. And He marvelled because of their unbelief. And He went round about the villages, teaching." Peter's healing of the lame man in Acts 3:7 resulted in thousands saved (4:4). Is this not glorifying to God?

What problem do you have with James 4:2?
