Heresy Hunters vs the Holy Spirit

HERESY HUNTERS vs THE HOLY SPIRIT     (# 16)

For every theologian within evangelicalism there is an opposite and equally eminent theologian. What does that tell you? Also, for every heresy within charismatic and word-faith camps there is an equally dangerous and debilitating heresy in the heresy hunters camp. Again, what does that tell you? Doesn’t this loudly proclaim that christians – including seminary graduates and ‘doctors’ and ‘reverends’ and etceteras – cannot be trusted? Jeremiah: “Cursed is the man who trusts in man.”

Take heart, there is One worthy of your trust. There is One who never misleads. That One is a Sent-one, sent to you by none other than the Lord Jesus Christ, and has actually taken up residence within you. Most important, He will guide you into as much truth as you want to have. No, truth doesn’t come all at once. It comes in fragments, here a little, there a little.

To procure more truth you must procure more of  “the Spirit of truth”. (Paul: “Be filled wth the Spirit.”) The Holy Spirit will enrich those seeking His guidance and withhold from those who don’t sufficiently crave it. Although most evangelicals ignore the guidance of the Holy Spirit, cessationists go one step deeper into lunacy, denying their need to be guided by the Spirit. “We have the Bible and we have a brain. Who needs the Holy Spirit?”

Testimonies that say, “God spoke to me” or “The Spirit said…” or “Jesus spoke to me in a dream” or “In a vision I saw….” or “I felt lead of the Spirit to….” are considered offshoots of imagination (or, worse yet, devious fables). In the cessationist’s christianity there are no miraculous healings, no “signs and wonders”, no laughing or crying, no prophetic words. Boring.

A hesitation to sign the last page of the Bible (to symbolize your allegiance to its writings over any and all “commandments of men”) may be an indication these determined and confused people have made inroads into your mind and heart. Something to talk over with Lord Jesus?
