Part of my journey

[sharen]

Just for interest. Something that I've discovered along my journey as a christian is that sometimes it's ok for other christians to hate you or write you off.

People are presented with all different types of christianity. Flavours, styles, blah blah blah and the only one who's really right is God. But once you join a christian movement, it can be very hard to challenge them without being rejected, if the challenge is a big one.

Jesus was rejected. Fairly often by the biblical accounts. Hated/loved and finally pretty much written off when he gave up his life on the cross. Not many people were there at his ascension.

So what?

So if God doesn't have the last word we arn't really following him.

I really like that.

Wish I'd known that all along. (But you only really can if you've been baptized in the Holy Spirit.) And even then it can take a while.

I have witnessed some different denominations

From Traditional to Pentecostal.

Interesting in that different churches within the above
vary so much from each other.

I was saved in a non-denominational church.

Which became a reformed and a pentecostal church at the same
time.

Work that one out.

Seen both sides.

I now only pursue, Christ and the Holy Spirit.

Where ever I am led, is good enough for me.

Uh oh. You said baptized in the Holy Spirit. Get ready to have Christians on this site tell you that you are smoking dope and that speaking in tongues is not for today.

In fact

Some believe that the gifts of the Holy Spirit are in fact
the work of the devil.

I believe in ALL SCRIPTURE, hence all manifestations of the
Holy Spirit are from God.

Some have already lined you up, you are a target.
They do not believe ALL SCRIPTURE is true in this present age.

You will have to know the Scripture, line by line, from
old to new. Know exactly what you believe.

If you put a foot wrong, you will find out your error.

For some, "Love for each other" is not the goal of the instruction.
Perfect interpretation by tradition is the goal?

Have fun, enjoy yourself. There are some who are of the TRUTH.
