1Co 6:9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,

1Co 6:10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.

Are you believing the once saved, forever saved theory? No backslider has a place in God's kingdom, except he/she repents. Or are you also a Christian(since you were a Christian before)?

RoyalDiadems:
It's the other way round. When your time is up, you'll meet God.

LordReed:
LoLz. I said when you and your god are ready I'll be here waiting.

RoyalDiadems:
Yeah, that's mercy speaking. The victims was out of his mind. He couldn't decide anything for himself. Jesus intervened. He was never challenged to prove a point.

The aftermath of the deliverance shows clearly that the victim was willing to be delivered in the first place. So, still on point.

LordReed:
LoLz. I said when you and your god are ready I'll be here waiting.

That was at the behest of God's servant himself. Not the worshippers of Baal challenging him to the task. Elijah did it to call the nation back to God. Not for show, but to meet the urgent needs of apostate Israel.

RoyalDiadems:
Frustration about what? May it never be too late for you.

jaephoenix:
Again, it looks like atheists know the bible more than christians
Obviously ur Bible didn't list several passages where God showed his power to prove 'his power'. One of them was when god through Elijah consumed Baals prophets.
Quit watching porn and read your Bible more

RoyalDiadems:
It's depends on your capacity to reason.

When Satan asked Jesus to turn stone to bread to prove that He is the son of God, did Jesus comply?

There's a way ungodly people reason that would make you immediately conclude that there's a demon behind their thinking patterns. It's such a delusional pattern.

Perhaps, you didn't even read what I said. God's power is for meeting needs, not for show. Not for proving a point. It isn't in God's character to prove a point. God doesn't have to prove anything to any man. Who's man? God is not increased or reduced by your belief or disbelief of Him. So, prove for what? If you believe, it's for your profit. If you disbelieve, it's for your damnation. In what way is God affected that you'll now be challenging Him to prove a point by casting out a demon? Is that how you do to your kids, trying to prove a point to them? Then, you must be a foolish father.

RoyalDiadems:
The fellow was probably ignorant. God's power is not for show. The demons of Atheism cannot be cast out of a man who still wishes to remain an atheist. A demon could only be dislodged when its victim is ready to give it up. God doesn't force his goodness on the unwilling. That's not His habit.

The fact that the fellow even acceded to such a challenge is indicative of the fact that he's not a deliverance minister. Deliverance does not work that way.

Anyway, thanks for your time.

Not sure of the validity of the story but obviously he wasn't a Christian but a Christain while cheating. Otherwise, there would be no need for a confession. If an atheist cheats, it's normal and natural to him. There's a big difference.

Does he cheat?

MaxInDHouse:
Only those having the same line of thought with Him becomes His family! John 1:11-12; 17:22

MaxInDHouse:
We became His family through obedience to His authority it's not automatic!

jaephoenix:
LordReed don't argue? Lol. Reed cuman see something oh

MaxInDHouse:
You're wrong Sir, He has no families so when He exterminate murderers it's called JUSTICE!

RoyalDiadems:
I did the same thing you did. Preached in crusades from 1989 to 1992. Laid hands on sick people and got them healed. 1993, the devil got a hold on me, and by 1994, I was ready to become an atheist. What happened to me in 1999 was not my personal undertaking. God got actively involved. Had I lost the Holy Ghost baptism is 2000, I would have become an atheist of the worse kind by now.

I've grown so much in the faith ever since. Infact, today, if I stand to preach, any demon possessed person around me will fall under the power of God. I won't even have to touch or look in their direction.

You spoke in tongues before? What better evidence do you need of God? He promised in the Bible, and you got the promise as it is. What else are you looking for?

Walking with God is sweet. The Presence of God is marvelous. Return home, oh prodigal son. The Father's Love awaits. The everlasting arms are stretched out for you. The bowels of mercy from the eternal God is turned up for you. My heart is moving for you right now as I type. The devil has lost the battle over your life. I break the stronghold of atheism upon your soul. May your inner eyes receive light. Oh my brother! My soul is moved for you. Oh Lord, bless his soul. Rid him from hell. Forgive him Lord. Show him your salvation. I ask it in Jesus mighty name.

MaxInDHouse:
For justice against murderers shey?

RoyalDiadems:
Vivid experiences and encounters.

You see, there was a time I was practising religion until I lost interest in it completely. I wanted to try Islam but the stories of Mohammed's murderous escapades made me perish the thought.

I thought about the many miracles I've seen and personally experienced as a Christian, and told myself, even idol worshippers also see miracles. I started asking, what if there's no God? That was 1994. I also thought, what if there's God of a truth?

I told myself, wouldn't I have been a Muslim if my dad was one? What if my dad's Christian God was fake, and the Buddist's god is the true god? How am I to know the truth? Is there God really? Why all these chaos?


For the next 5 years I was looking for answers. I told myself I won't be a Christian just because my dad was one. What if my dad was wrong?

The more I searched, the more I got convinced that there's no God anywgere in the universe. I started living a carefree life. There's nothing out there to be afraid of after all. I don't think there's any God anywhere.

Five years after this form of thinking, I came across a book, Evolution or Creation? The book detailed the stories about the origins of life according to science and the Bible. I was awed about the description of majestic galaxies, including Earth's Galaxy, the Milky Way. The size of each star and the size of their clusters where there could be millions of stars in one cluster that makes a galaxy. My brains couldn't even fathom the size of one cluster, apart from the fact that there are so many such clusters in the universe. The book gave reasons why such clusters of stars which we call galaxies couldn't have ever been the result of an accident. Then, it discussed about the missing link of the evolution theory. These reasonings shook me to the foundation.

Not long after reading that book, I chanced upon my long time friends of secondary school days. They were rough guys all the while I was being a religious guy. Now, that I was living a rough life like they did, I went visiting them on an agreed-upon-day hoping to have fun with like-minded guys.

I was shocked to find them in the midst of other friends of theirs discussing the Bible. They were also sharing spiritual experiences which were being corroborated by those in the discussion who were Witnesses. They were calling themselves in titles such as Evangelist, Deacon, etc.

I was wondering how Peter and Samson had become such Spiritually powerful persons. Contrasting what I heard with what I knew them to be when we were in secondary school, I was shocked beyond measure.

I began to be very troubled within me from that day. God literally arrested me. I remember crying one night that I needed to know God personally. That wasn't like me. At that time I was a hard guy. Strange things were happening within me. A force mightier than me was revolutionizing me from within.

Each time I visited these friends,I always met them studying the book I had abandoned - the Bible. They were living a very changed and enviable life. I told God, I knew the Bible more than these guys. "What then did I lack?" "Why can't I also experience the supernatural like these ones do?" A voice answered me, "You need the Holy Ghost."

Not long after, I found a book: Biblical Fasting and Prayer, written by R.D. Flory. There was a section in that book titled "How to Receive the Holy Spirit." I decide to put the lessons taught in the section into practice, since a physical evidence accompanies the exercise- speaking in new tongues.

I read the verses of scripture detailing the promise of the Holy Ghost with the evidence of speaking in tongues.

I told myself, "After doing all these, if there's no speaking in tongues for me, then, everything about God is a ruse." I planned afterwards to finally abandon God - forever. I was planning to live rough and enjoy life to the fullest.

I followed the instructions in that book. I went fasting for 7 days, and praying. 1st, 2nd, 3rd day through the 6th day, nothing happened.

On the 7th day, I was rounding up my fasting in prayer while also thinking about the free life I was about the live, I felt a strange heat upon my head. It was as if I was on fire but the fire wasn't burning painfully. I can't really describe the experience.

I found myself muttering something deeply in another language. I didn't understand what I was saying but the language kept kept flowing out. I began to prophecy right there in my room. It happened from 7pm till about 11pm that night. When the whole thing quieted, I felt like a new being. As though something has changed within me. I told myself that God is Real. It was the 14th of July, 2000.

That was the beginning of my journey into the supernatural. The truth about God's existence is something I cannot deny but honestly, it's very difficult to explain.

MaxInDHouse:
YES!
Because logically murderers should be killed!

MaxInDHouse:
Naaaaaaaaaaa he killed off evildoers all with their generations!

MaxInDHouse:
Naaaaaaaaaaa He does that Himself!

MaxInDHouse:
They are waste products since they will become miscreants as their parents won't be alive to cater for them!

Image123:
Christians don't cheat, it is against our nature. Only Christains do such, you need to meet a Christian ASAP.

MaxInDHouse:
There's no rule God made that He Himself breaks because He is the greatest covenant keeper. Despite the fact that He has all the power He has allowed Satan just to keep His own laws that no one should be punished unless they are proved guilty!

AntiChristian:
If it doesn't then nothing will!

AntiChristian:
You're right! But some Muslims and not as you painted it.

MaxInDHouse:
Do you know any rule He ignored?

MaxInDHouse:
OK you think it's about telling you to do what others aren't doing?
Well get this into your skull that when talking about the supreme being He Himself follows the rules talkless those teaching you. So everyone must be subjected to the rules if it's coming from the supreme being!

AntiChristian:
Yet, i still see no religion that condemns immorality like Islam!

Didn't Jesus say "He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her."?

Humans tend to be adulterous! But Islam condemns it more than Christianity!

AntiChristian:
One man and one women will never work! Keep deceiving yourselves!

And what about indecent dressing and free mixing of opposite sexes?

bagirajoseph:
Yes you heard me right all atheist are confused human being and desperate people looking for an unpopular argument.

MaxInDHouse:
An atheist is an intelligent being who doesn't believe in subjection along with other intelligent beings to any supreme being!

There are many misinformed religionists who are atheistic, though they claim they're believers but since they will not subject to the same line of thought along with others then they are disguised atheists!
