Bro Tan,
I am sure you are being sincere but like the Boreans you should search the scriptures daily to see whether these things be true. Don't just presume that things that come to you in the spirit are of the Spirit...the Spirit and the word are one, they would not contradict each other. Being corrected by Scripture and the humility to be so is part of growing more mature in the Spirit. I have been corrected (I was proven to have had a misapplication of Romans 12:3 and it led to a false supposition on my part) at times and rather then try to bear false witness against the brethren I admitted I was incorrect our brother correct and then I just lined up more fully with the truth. The same long ago with my understanding of Ephesians 2:8,9...I was taught it says "faith" is the gift of God but I was shown that to not be accurate from the Greek and now when I read it I can only see what it actually says...being saved is the gift and it is by grace through faith....I was wrong then (although this one I had been taught by my pastor...he was wrong as well but refused to change his opinion) I know the truth now...walk therefore in the truth...
No I am not saying you can not have you understanding (we all have some points here or there where we see something differently) but we all should be growing toward our goal conforming to what the word says not what we or someone else thinks or says it means. By asking for you to demonstrate it from the word of God is not unreasonable nor is it legalistic or Satanic but if the word says something and you say something different why should we believe you without you showing us? You have weighed in and contributed on other threads but on this one I think you are incorrect.
in His love

I believe I do show the scriptures and verses to prove what I say, I agree that we should all do that, with good fruit in our heart. People on this form rely on a doctrine made by men and not God, so I understand the disagreements and the attitude. I am more of a spiritual minded person, so when I teach, I teach on the level where one must ask question or have basic knowledge in the Bible. If a person continue to quote scriptures to support a man made doctrine, and really do not understand or know the Bible from Genesis to Revelation, then I'll pass over you, unless one is interested in the truth. I am here to help people understand the truth. You must give up a lifestyle where sin has dominion, (ruler ship) over you. Sin according to 1 John 3:4, Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression (breaking) of the law. I teach the uncut word of God and if you never heard it before it will shake you up. I understand its hard for one to unlearn what they been taught and learn again, but that's the price we have to pay in these evil times we living in. What I do according to the word of God is considered true love. By pureness, by knowledge, by longsuffering, by kindness, by the Holy Ghost, by love unfeigned, 2 Corinthians 6:6
