Holy Ghost Fire: Is It Biblical? by Hiploko(m): 8:34pm On Nov 07, 2016 |
We just closed from church now and one of the questions asked during the teaching was if there is any mention of Holy Ghost fire in the entire bible. Pls biblical gurus, help me out.. Is it mentioned anywhere in the bible or is it stated anywhere that we can call it to kill enemies. Someone even mentioned that it ought to be Elijah's fire as it was on mount Carmel.. Clarifications please! |

Let us first hear what the Bible tells us to do with our enemies: "But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;" Matt. 5:44 The Bible does not encourage us to call fire of any sort to destroy our enemies. Holy Ghost fire(as it is commonly perceived) is not in the Bible, and even if it were, it cannot be at the disposal of vengeful people who do not practise the love and peace which Christ teaches. 4 Likes 1 Share |

My advice to you is that, you should look at the life of Jesus Christ anything they do in your church that you cannot trace it to Jesus life then forget it. As a Christian people may see you as enemies ones they saw the life of Christ in you, but you are to love them and pray for them that God should help grant them the grace to encounter Jesus Christ. My opinion though, I am not bible guru. 3 Likes |

SHALOM! You have told me everything I need to know about your church: LEAVE IT IMMEDIATELY, AND NEVER RETURN. It is a FAKE CHURCH, led by a LIAR and a FOOL. No church leader can be THIS ignorant of THEIR OWN RELIGION. That goes for all the CHRISTIANS who viewed your question but could not answer it. What sort of rubbish is THAT? Hiploko: WHY ARE YOU PROTECTING THE IDENTITY OF YOUR CHURCH? There are Christian Churches that do not believe THE GOSPEL at all, and were only created to CONTROL THEIR KINGDOMS. The ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH and THE ANGLICAN CHURCH are EXAMPLES of that. It is ridiculous therefore, to follow their Teachings, and PRETEND that you are following YAHSHUA. Pls biblical gurus, help me out.. Do you not own your own BIBLE? If so, what type is it? The only authentic English Bible is the KING JAMES AUTHORIZED VERSION (KJV). This is based on the GREEK and HEBREW manuscripts used by the ORIGINAL CHRISTIANS out of ANTIOCH. The other Bibles are manufactured by the ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH, mostly from corrupted EGYPTIAN MANUSCRIPTS, concocted mainly by a Eunuch called ORIGEN ADAMANTIUS, for POPE EUSEBIUS and Emperor CONSTANTINE. Any Church that doesn't teach that is FAKE. Is it mentioned anywhere in the bible If you have a SMARTPHONE, you should have a BIBLE APP- shop around, until you find one that is right for you. They should have SEARCH functions, where you can find any instance of any word or phrase. If you are lo-tech, you should own a CONCORDANCE- which is an index of every proper word used in The Bible. You can look up every instance of HOLY GHOST, and FIRE. THIS IS HARD WORK. There are people who will laughingly tell you that you should not be bothering yourself: that the only important thing is that you "JUST BELIEVE YOU ARE SAVED!" These are FALSE CHRISTIANS come to LEAD YOU ASTRAY. THEIR BOSSES ULTIMATELY REPORT BACK TO THE ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH. You are equally qualified to start a church as any of the dunces you currently run with. or is it stated anywhere that we can call it to kill enemies. I HAVE NO SYMPATHY FOR PEOPLE WHO DO NOT BOTHER TO KNOW THE GOSPEL. THIS TESTIMONY SHOULD HAVE TAKEN CHRISTIANITY BY STORM! Of course it didn't- for who really wants to KNOW YAHSHUA THAT WELL? If YAHSHUA had been a KILLER, who could have withstood him? Who had more right to kill his enemies than HIM? .... LUKE 9:51-56. 51. And it came to pass, when the time was come that he should be received up, he stedfastly set his face to go to Jerusalem, 52. And sent messengers before his face: and they went, and entered into a village of the Samaritans, to make ready for him. 53. And they did not receive him, because his face was as though he would go to Jerusalem. 54. And when his Disciples James and John saw this, they said, "Lord, wilt thou that we command Fire to come down from Heaven, and consume them, even as Elias did?" 55. But he turned, and rebuked them, and said, "Ye know not what manner of spirit ye are of. 56. "For the Son of Man is not come to destroy men's lives, but to save them." And they went to another village. THE FIRST THING YOU HAVE TO UNDERSTAND ABOUT THE NEW TESTAMENT IS THAT: ONLY YAHSHUA BELIEVED THE GOSPEL. No one else believed what Yahshua preached. Someone even mentioned that it ought to be Elijah's fire as it was on mount Carmel.. Who knows The Gospel better than THE DISCIPLES. Were any of them able to do anything like that? ELIJAH WAS NOT A CHRISTIAN. The Israelites were EXPECTED to FIGHT for the Holy Land. WE are not IN Israel. If anyone demands OUR MEST, we are COMMANDED to GIVE it to them. If we are told to GET OUT OF A LAND, we GET OUT- but we dust off the MATTER, ENERGY, SPACE, and TIME that is THEIRS' that STICKS to us- THAT is the MOST AGGRESSIVE MOVE we are AUTHORIZED to use against our Enemies. It seems that you were only taught Holy Ghost Fire from the aspect of HARMING HUMAN BEINGS. Which is NONSENSE. Clarifications please! . ACTS 1:1-11. THE former treatise have I made, O Theophilus, of all that Jesus began both to do and Teach, 2. Until the day in which he was taken up, after that he through The Holy Ghost had given Commandments unto the Apostles whom he had chosen: 3. To whom also he shewed himself alive after his passion by many infallible proofs, being seen of them forty days, and speaking of the things pertaining to The Kingdom of God: 4. And, being assembled together with them, Commanded them that they should not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for The Promise of the Father, "Which," saith he, "ye have heard of me. 5. "For John truly baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence." 6. When they therefore were come together, they asked of him, saying, "Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again The Kingdom to Israel?" 7. And he said unto them, "It is not for you to know the Times or the Seasons, which the Father hath put in His Own Power. 8. "But ye shall receive Power, after that The Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the Earth." 9. And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a Cloud received him out of their sight. 10. And while they looked stedfastly toward Heaven as he went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel; 11. Which also said, "Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into Heaven? This same Jesus, which is taken up from you into Heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into Heaven." THE DISCIPLES HAD NO INTEREST IN ANYTHING YAHSHUA WAS SAYING: THEY ONLY WANTED TO HEAR THAT HE WAS GOING TO KILL THE ROMANS, AND TAKE OVER THE GOVERNMENT. YAHSHUA is our TEACHER- not some unidentified TELEPORTERS- no matter WHAT colour clothes they were wearing. My last Organized Church- The FULL SALVATION CHURCH of FRANKLIN HALL specialized in HOLY GHOST FIRE. . ACTS 2:1-12. AND when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. 2. And suddenly there came a sound from Heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. 3. And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them. 4. And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with Other Tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance. 5. And there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men, out of every nation under Heaven. 6. Now when this was noised abroad, the multitude came together, and were confounded, because that every man heard them speak in his own language. 7. And they were all amazed and marvelled, saying one to another, "Behold, are not all these which speak Galilaeans? 8. "And how hear we every man in our own Tongue, wherein we were born? 9. "Parthians, and Medes, and Elamites, and the dwellers in Mesopotamia, and in Judaea, and Cappadocia, in Pontus, and Asia, 10. Phrygia, and Pamphylia, in Egypt, and in the parts of Libya about Cyrene, and strangers of Rome, Jews and proselytes, 11. Cretes and Arabians, we do hear them speak in our tongues The Wonderful Works of God. 12. And they were all amazed, and were in doubt, saying one to another, "What meaneth this?" THE TERMS "SPIRIT OF GOD," "HOLY GHOST," and "HOLY SPIRIT" are believed to be synonymous with one another. This is a prime example of how the OYINBOS have managed to mess up The Bible Religion. God has a TRANSMISSIBLE PRESENCE. To cause confusion amongst Christians, in order to make them slaves of the CLERGY, in order to make them SLAVES OF THE STATE, the Doctrines of the OMNIPRESENCE, OMNIPOTENCE, and OMNISCIENCE of God were IMPOSED upon Christians while they were still IMPRESSIONABLE. FALSE EXCUSES FOR WHY GOD NEVER USES THESE ATTRIBUTES ARE IMPOSED TO CREATE ELABORATE CONVOLTED DOCTRINES THAT KEEP PEOPLE THINKING THAT ONLY SPECIAL PEOPLE CAN UNDERSTAND GOD- BUT NOT THEM. |

16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: 2 Timothy 3:16 REFLECTIONS.... The Holy ghost fire is real but it should be use to wrestle against principalities, spiritual wickedness, and not against flesh and blood.. see Ephesians 6:12. |

Hiploko:The idea is of Pagan origin. A lot of what you know to be Christianity is taken from the pages of pagan myth and rituals. |

TI1919:So Jesus Christ is OK with you handing on to Christianity even with all of the falsehoods that surround it ---- light and darkness together? We are talking of another Jesus Christ and not the one who said He is Truth of God who is the Light of the world, right? |
