Christian

I hope that everyone labels themselves "Christian". We in a perverse generation are so blessed to have the opportunity to learn from all the great teachers. (Calvin, Wesley, Spurgeon, Ravenhill, Tozer, Etc. etc.). But none not one come before my savior Jesus Christ. If you just take what he taught with nothing else you'll have more knowledge than you could ever dream. But it's not about knowledge or who's teaching what, It's about the heart and who you know...better yet, WHO knows you... P.S. This is the most awesome website on the internet.In Christ,iHilam

Welcome aboard iHilamThat is a good reminder sir. I can see that I for one am going to enjoy having you on the forum! If you have a moment, go on and introduce yourself in the “welcome’ section of the forum. I do agree with you on that one. Some people do have the gift of teaching and great knowledge and in many things are great vessels for the Holy Spirit to spread wisdom of spiritual things, but we cannot become too dependent on them.1 John 2:20-27 20 But ye have an unction from the Holy One, and ye know all things. 21 I have not written unto you because ye know not the truth, but because ye know it, and that no lie is of the truth. 22 Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son. 23 Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: (but) he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also. 24 Let that therefore abide in you, which ye have heard from the beginning. If that which ye have heard from the beginning shall remain in you, ye also shall continue in the Son, and in the Father. 25 And this is the promise that he hath promised us, even eternal life. 26 These things have I written unto you concerning them that seduce you. 27 But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.

Hi iHilam!But none not one come before my savior Jesus Christ. If you just take what he taught with nothing else you'll have more knowledge than you could ever dream. I am in agreement with Jimm-I am sure we will be blessed to have you on the forum!There is so much opportunity to learn on this site, not only from the great spiritual leaders but also from each other. I believe Christ is trying to do a work in each heart that is on SI- if we are but open to it. :-) Great to have you.Hidden in Him, Chanin
