i enjoyed this essay by psychologist valerie tarico.
the born again experience.
i prayed harder and just then i felt like everything i was saying was being sucked into a vacuum.
I'm not claiming to be on any kind of equal level with Christ - please dont think I'm saying that Psacremento but just as Christ means anointed one and he was anointed by HS so were we.....the HS that anointed me came 'through' Jesus Christ -and its the bible who tells us we are a part of Christ in that respect....
1 Corinthians 6 v 15
"Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ himself? Shall I then take the members of Christ and unite them with a prostitute? Never!"

I'm happy to 'wait and see' - thankfully we're not in charge... for my own part I dont believe I'm good enough to receive my reward anyway...but thats another issue.

Thx Tec & Wantstoleave...we have some great experiences to share dont we? Love Ann's too.
I too prayed for a new partner...explained to God that I needed one who would be kind and loving like I'd never known in my life before. Strange but after I'd prayed I just kind of knew that within months the man would come along...he did...a confirmed atheist lol...but he is so loving and kind and adores me- he was the perfect man to help me to understand that the WTBS was a cult and help me to heal ...I tell him he's my gift from God and he just smiles...

I know 1 John 2 but it seems as if you're damning a lot of people and I'm not convinced God will do that.

Either you are born again and thus "anointed" or else you are anti Christ.
There is no "other hope", "earthly hope" but rather no hope for those without the anointing of the Holy Spirit.
Mmmm not sure I'm with you on this one Stephen...?

Wobble - no I dont agree with him and neither does the bible, which makes clear that persons are anointed in Christ.
"Now it is God who makes both us and you stand firm in Christ. He anointed us, 22 set his seal of ownership on us, and put his Spirit in our hearts as a deposit, guaranteeing what is to come."
2 Corinthians 1 v 21,22 NIV

The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God’s children. 17 Now if we are children, then we are heirs—heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory.

i woke up this morning wondering what any elders who frequent this site would do if they were asked to part of a judicial commitee to disfellowship an apostate.. how would you handle it?.
has it happened to you?.
no deep reason why, just wondering!.
There was a recent thread which covered this Aussie Oz ...
