Hi Paul
5:33:44 PM: Paul:
Hi Violet
5:34:03 PM: Paul:
Reading what you wrote on our form
5:35:03 PM: Paul:
Not sure what you mean by others being called false because they have visions or dreams, but whoever makes that evaluation doesn’t know the Word of God or how He works.
5:35:31 PM: Paul:
There are false visions and dreams that aren’t from the Lord, but those don’t do away with true visions and dreams.
5:35:47 PM: Paul:
You are familiar with what Peter said at Pentecost?
5:36:43 PM: Paul:
“‘And in the last days it shall be, God declares, that I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh, and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams; even on my male servants and female servants in those days I will pour out my Spirit, and they shall prophesy.
(Acts 2:17-18 ESV)
5:37:04 PM: Paul:
(In which Peter was quoting the prophecy of Joel.)
5:37:11 PM: Paul:
Sorry, go ahead…
5:39:42 PM: Violet:
The reason why I asked that question is because I read one of Mary k baxters book.
5:40:14 PM: Paul:
OK, not sure I see the connection. Has your question been answered?
5:40:32 PM: Paul:
And did you read what we have to say about Baxter?
5:41:19 PM: Paul:
Baxter’s vision is false.
5:41:53 PM: Violet:
I believed that God gives gifts to all who believe him
5:42:16 PM: Paul:
Yes, and how do you know who believes in Him?
5:42:50 PM: Paul:
Hypocrites! Well did Isaiah prophesy of you, saying, “This people draws near to Me with their mouth, and honors Me with their lips, but their heart is far from Me. But in vain they worship Me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.”
(Matthew 15:7-9 MKJV)
5:43:09 PM: Paul:
The people the Lord was addressing there believed in God.
5:43:23 PM: Paul:
Who REALLY believes?
5:43:38 PM: Violet:
Those that believe that Jesus Christ came as a human being
5:45:18 PM: Sara:
We have a paper called “Devils Also Believe in God”; it lays out what is true belief vs. mental assent
5:45:31 PM: Sara:

5:45:41 PM: Paul:
Yes, did you know that devils confess Jesus Christ came in the flesh?
5:46:07 PM: Paul:
And when He had come to the other side into the country of the Gergesenes, two demon-possessed ones met Him, coming out of the tombs, exceedingly fierce, so that no one might pass by that way. And behold, they cried out, saying, What have we to do with You, Jesus, Son of God? Have You come here to torment us before the time?
(Matthew 8:28-29 MKJV)
5:46:38 PM: Paul:
But many profess to love and worship Him, just as those Jews whom the Lord addressed in the words I quoted above.
5:46:44 PM: Paul:
Their hearts are far from Him.
5:47:24 PM: Paul:
Do you belong or go to a church, Violet?
5:48:19 PM: Violet:
yes, the Anglican church st mark
5:49:00 PM: Paul:
When would you say you became a believer, or have you grown up with religion?
5:53:06 PM: Violet:
I grew up in a small remote community and I always attend sundays school. In 1999 I surrender my life to Jesus.
5:53:28 PM: Paul:
OK. Getting back to a question I asked earlier: Do you believe Baxter’s vision is from God?
5:56:12 PM: Paul:
Actually, I asked if you had red what we say about it.
5:56:23 PM: Paul:
But what do you believe?
5:56:27 PM: Violet:
Well I did believed her, But reading all the quotes on web about her makes me more want to just read the word and not reading other books.
5:58:13 PM: Sara:
Have you red our posting on Baxter?
5:58:25 PM: Sara:
Our postings give you the Scriptures.
5:58:53 PM: Violet:
No
6:00:03 PM: Paul:
Yes, you need to know what the Bible says about these things
6:00:42 PM: Paul:
It’s good to read the Bible, but it’s better to have the Bible applied to real life matters so you can see your way through the lies and misrepresentations of men.
6:01:54 PM: Paul:
And Philip ran there to him and heard him read the prophet Isaiah, and said, Do you indeed understand what you are reading? And he said, How can I unless some man should guide me? And he asked Philip to come up and sit with him.
(Acts 8:30-31 MKJV)
6:02:30 PM: Violet:
Can you pray for me and my daughter Sarah.
6:02:52 PM: Paul:
What is that you would like us to pray for, Violet?
6:06:01 PM: Violet:
Pray to God to help us both to get know Jesus more and more.
6:06:33 PM: Paul:
He has brought you here for that purpose, if that’s your true heart’s desire.
6:06:47 PM: Paul:
He has already answered you.
6:07:40 PM: Paul:
He is with us, as the Father was with Him in the days of His flesh.
6:07:42 PM: Violet:
Thank you and may God bless you.
6:07:55 PM: Paul:
