To Brendalee: Yes, I do believe in the power of the Holy Spirit. I believe in speaking in tongues as a gift and as a means of individual prayer. I believe God can heal and do unbelievable miracles. But I also believe that many who disagree on doctrinal matters in the Body of Christ will be in heaven with the rest of us. Why? Because some of every tribe, nation, and tongue will be around the throne of God with those who do believe in miracles and tongues, according to Revelations. I am not condoning a general spirituality in any way! The defining saving doctrine is believing in the death of Christ as the atonement for our sins, as individuals. It is just that the power of the Holy Spirit is not manifested in miracles alone. Jesus had 34 miracles documented during His ministry on earth. Of course, many more must have occurred, but it was the preaching of the Word of God that also has the power of the Holy Spirit, and that was the main focus of His ministry. He was anointed to heal the brokenhearted, and set the captives free, primarily through the power of the preaching and teaching of the Word of God, which He embodied. So, when attempting to discern those who do not acknowledge the power of the Holy Spirit, do not forget that many of our brothers and sisters who do not speak in tongues, do believe and heal via the preaching and speaking of the Word into the hearts and lives of the lost and broken. Thanks for reading my humble opinion.

thanks for your awesome reply! I agree with you. Can't remember what I wrote without looking directly but I believe it was a general question about wether or not people believe in the Holy Spirit and His awesome power. I am passionate about Him as He is my constant companion and Christ the lover of my soul. Not every christain in heaven will speak in tounges, I know. But everyone can. I believe in unity in the body of Christ. A house divided against itself cannot stand. I believe that we are going into revival at our church but we cannot succede without unity. We have to lay down our stubborn pride and listen to God as He diciplines us. We need to hold our tounges and be obediant. I am glad we are siblings. thanks for your reply. My computer is down and I don't know how to access even my own email on this ristricted library computer so if we are to reply to each other, it won't be any time soon. Hurricane Dennis is coming so it may be a good three weeks. I live near Mobile, Alabama, USA.

Greetings, I am glad you are open to the invisible forces of unity and oneness and see that responsibility, decision-making and optimism all flow together in one universal Spirit, where God is an obvious reality. One benefits tremendously physically, mentally and spiritually, when a deep awareness of unity is established because the habit of being positive is acquired, and God is no longer a closed concept, but an infinite vast always present consciousness. Seeing one God beyond the myriad forms we are not tricked into thinking that there are more than one God. Christian Mysticism is inspirational and intellectually explains the interconnectedness of us all while dismantling the thoughts and fears that separate. It opens Christian minds that are closed by belief.

Hi, this is dude here. I would like to share some thoughts about the Holy Spiritand the Holy Ghost. When I read the bible I see the Father mentioned, and the Holy Spirit. I also see Jesus mentioned and the Holy Ghost. That adds up to four in the Godhead, and not three. I did some research and found out the catholic church came up with the concept of the trinity. That word was never around untill the papecy became an institution, and started to change much of the bible.

Futher studys of ancient hebrew texts show that the holy spirit is femine and so is the holy ghost- femine, So there seems to be male and female parts to the Godhead. Of course God is one, in spirit and intent, and character.

What we are dealing with is something the bible only mentions one time, I think. Its called, "the Mystery of God". This is how it appears to work. When God created the angels by spoken word, the angels materialized by the working of the feminine or Holy Spirit, this is our Fathers breath, so to speak. Similarily when Jesus spoke life onto planet earth, the feminine or Holy Ghost manifested the lifeforms as Jesus spoke. Jesus is diety, like our Father. So he works in the same way. Our Fathers counterpart is the Holy Spirit, and Jesus counterpart appears to be the Holy Ghost.

Now Jesus was beggoten, or born. He was not created like the angels were. This implys a union of some kind, between the Father and Mother (holy spirit).. Evidence points out that Jesus being diety, has to have a counterpart. So Jesus apparently was born with a twin sister or, the holy ghost. And this is why the bible records the Holy Spirit and the Holy Ghost, along with the Father and Jesus. That adds up to four in the Godhead, no matter how ya appraoch it. The vaticans math is wierd, they come up with three, from four parts. I dont trust any organization that adds like that. Somethings wrong there..Stay away from them, please...

Now this implys the Holy Spirit is the Mother of us all. And we all know who the Father is. We also know who Jesus is, our big brother, and now we have a big sister, the Holy Ghost.. Jesus said it was important that He ascend to heaven, so he could send the comforter, or the Holy Ghost. Jesus did not say He was going to send the Holy Spirit, but He was going to send the Holy Ghost! It was on pentecost that the Holy Ghost came, like wind and fire, with tounges of fire, over the heads of the 120, they became filled with this spirit and spoke in tounges. I am a tounges speaker myself. Started about two yrs ago. But not everyone will speak in tounges who is saved. The bible tells us, its just one of many gifts.

It would seem that as born again believers, we have the Holy Spirit, and the Holy Ghost, inside of us. One connects us to the Father, and the other connects us to Jesus. After all there are four points to the cross, there are four major directions, there are four winds over earth, ect, ect. I supect this pattern of four, has to do with the fact that there is four in the Godhead. Just a thought there.

Christian mysticism is inspirational, it opens christians minds, that are closed by belief systems, designed to do just that... peace to you.
