Heresy Hunters vs the Holy Spirit

HERESY HUNTERS vs THE HOLY SPIRIT     (# 2)

I previously wrote (see # 1) that heresy hunters are not New Testament christians, even though they would find such a remark demeaning. They seemingly pride themselves in their allegiance to the Bible, often comparing themselves to the Bereans who “searched the Scriptures day after day to see if Paul and Silas were teaching the truth.” (Acts 17:11)In reality, however, they do not imitate (preach/teach) like Paul. For example….

Paul encouraged the Corinthians to earnestly seek the gifts of the Holy Spirit, including the gift of faith, the gift of healing, “the working of miracles”, “prophecy”, “discerning of spirits”, “different kinds of tongues”. But heresy hunters dismiss all such present-day manifestations of these gifts. AND, though the NT contains many examples of “signs and wonders” – (Acts 5:12: “through the hands of the apostles many signs and wonders were done among the people”) – equivalent Holy Spirit happenings today would probably be  accredited to the devil. Yes, the devil!

A logical question: How can heresy hunters who negate (repudiate, scorn) New Testament testimonies and teachings claim to be New Testament christians?

For the benefit of zealous heresy hunters throughout evangelicalism and the many (countless?) Facebook friends who have swallowed such non-biblical teachings, I repeat this question: How can heresy hunters who negate (repudiate, scorn) New Testament testimonies and teachings claim to be New Testament christians?

Don’t you think you owe yourselves and those you influence an answer? Doesn’t wisdom suggest you petition The Teacher – (Jesus: “One is your Teacher, the Christ”) – for truth regarding heresy hunters before you see Him face-to-face, before you “appear before the judgment seat of Christ”?
