i think the unmitigated dumb contained in this statement just gave me cancer.
The impossible here is contradicting insanity in an insane belief system.

hg> Nagel, i pray you don't receive what you've written here, as they are your words 'spoken' on the page. may God have mercy.....
if you don't believe in the bible tho, you probably aren't concerned with such frivilous 'talk'.
i've listed several bible versions to easily clarify what is being said in these verses.
21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and they who indulge in it shall eat the fruit of it [for death or life].
21 The tongue can speak words that bring life or death. Those who love to talk must be ready to accept what it brings.
21 What you say can preserve life or destroy it; so you must accept the consequences of your words.

If hippie is Pentecostal, & she were to admit it, it will be fun to see her & Bill go toe to toe, when he tells her she's in a cult.
It's intentionally ignorant mysticism at its worst. I put some clothes in the dryer and prayed to God that they would dry, he answered my prayer. I prayed that no one would get killed on my street this morning, and he answered my prayer. I prayed that my 18 mo old granddaughter would walk soon, and she did, God answered my prayer.

Reminds me of the story about the little girl walking thru the snow to her granny's house. a snake slithered up and asked to be put inside her coat to get warm. she denied him, saying he would bite her. he continually promised not to, and she finally believed him and relented. no sooner did she get him picked up than he bit her. when she reminded him of his promise, he reminded her than he was a snake....

Hi Chick,
To the best of my knowledge, the church where Hippie Girl worships is Pentecostal -- and just as Christian as my Baptist church. Being a cult church has nothing to do with method or style of worship -- only in what that church believes and teaches.
A church is Christian if it believes and teaches:
1. The Deity of Jesus Christ: God incarnate -- fully a man; yet, fully God.
2. The Trinity: God eternally existing; manifested (revealed) in three persons: Father, Son, Holy Spirit.
3. The Bible: Is the inspired Written Word of God and is the sole authority for Christian faith, salvation, and our Christian life.
A Christian church will also believe and teach:
4. Salvation by Grace: By grace you are saved, through faith in Jesus Christ -- plus nothing else.
5. The Resurrection of Christ: He rose from the dead, that we may also be resurrected into eternal life.
6. The Gospel: The birth, death, resurrection, and ascension of Jesus Christ according to Scripture.
7. Heaven and Hell: Both are real places and are the only two eternal destinations available to all mankind.
Basically, the difference between a Pentecostal church and my Baptist church is that the Pentecostal church has more energy -- in their singing, in their prayers, and in their worship in general. No problem with that.
Most Pentecostal churches believe in speaking in tongues; which is Biblical. The Bible does indeed support speaking in tongues; but, it does not say that everyone will do it. Just as with all the gifts of the Holy Spirit, some people are given specific gifts and other people are given different gifts. I do not have the gift of tongues; but, if Hippie Girl does, God bless her.
I do not have the gift of healing; but, my prayers (and the prayers of all believers) do -- for the answer to those prayers comes from one Source, God. And, God always answers prayers. Sometimes "Yes" -- other times "No" -- and still other times "Wait a while, My child." But, always an answer -- and ALWAYS the best answer.
From her writings, I would say that Hippie Girl and her church believes and teaches these Christian beliefs I have shown above. So, she is my Christian sister. My prayer is that one day you, Jennifer, Crusty, Vic, et al, will also become my Christian sisters and brothers.
God bless, have a wonderful, blessed day,
Bill
Did you mean the scorpion and the frog? No matter. Sounds a lot like your god to me. And you've never seen a snake? Come on now.

nope, never seen a snake. i guess God's just being sweet to me on that one, tho He would be with me if i ever do have to see one. i did walk into the snake exhibit at the Memphis zoo once by mistake, but got out of there before a snake slithered up, whew!
Blessings to you today, hg<><
God is being "sweet" to you because you've never seen a snake? LOL!!! Sheesh.

hg> Mr Bill, my church is actually non-denominational. but your statement is true because we have people from all sorts of 'denominations' who make up our congregation of believers. guess i'm in the cult(ure) of following Jesus,hooray!!

i do speak in tongues (tho it's only been for a few years now), and might be worshipping next to one who doesn't. we are family anyway. it's the same with other beliefs that aren't contrary to God. i have freedom to worship as God leads me, as does everyone else. it's called Freedom ya'll

hg> Mr Bill, i will stand with you, believing salvation for these who who haven't accepted Jesus...yet! 'where two agree...'

Vic> I heard tongue piercing was good for speaking tongues. that true?
hg> i have no idea. you'd have to asked someone who has a pierced tongue.
Best> I think hippie is trying to "yank chains", and is a waste of time.
hg> i am simply answering questions posted for me. if i'm a waste of your time, just stop reading and posting to my replies. i have no control over how you waste your time.
Blessings to you, hg<><

That was the point of my post. So from now on you can spin your silly tales to others, although something tells me they're coming to the same conclusion as I did. So run along and "heal" a few more cats.
