HOLY GHOST

WHEN THE HOLY GHOST COMES! The Holy Ghost will testify about Jesus Christ, and He will guide you into all truth. We are living in a time where we all need “Holy Ghost” discernment, and this article will help you understand the person of the Holy Ghost (Spirit).

INSPIRING WORDS FROM KEITH GREEN

"It is obvious by even this brief glimpse into the doctrines of mortal and venial sins, confession, penance, and purgatory, that the Roman Catholic Church has constructed one of the most unbiblical doctrinal systems that has ever been considered "Christian". The fear, anguish, and religious bondage that such a system of "reward and punishment" creates, has tormented millions of lives for centuries, and continues to prey on those who are ignorant of the biblical way of salvation. To merely call such a system "a cult", would be to throw it into the vast category of religions and quasi-religions that are currently making the rounds of our college campuses and city streets, snatching up many an unsuspecting youth. No, the Roman Church is not a cult. It's an empire! With its own ruler, its own laws, and its own subjects! The empire has no borders, it encompasses the globe with its eye on every person who does not vow allegiance. It calls the members of other faiths "separated brethren" (The term used by Vatican II to describe the members of Eastern Orthodox, Anglican, and Protestant churches.) and has as its goal the eventual bringing together of everyone under its flag.

I know that many will not be convinced or moved by this article (or any of the others) to make such a conclusion. They are impressed by what they've heard about recent stirrings among the Catholics in the "charismatic renewal". Many evangelicals (especially Charismatics) have been thrilled by the reports of Catholics speaking in tongues, dancing in the Spirit, having nights of joy and praise, even attending "charismatic masses". Mouths that used to speak out boldly against the Church of Rome have been quieted by the times. It no longer is in vogue to speak of the pope as "the antichrist" (Although the following people unhesitatingly did: Martin Luther, John Bunyan, John Huss, John Wycliffe, John Calvin, William Tyndale, John Knox, Thomas Bacon, John Wesley, Samuel Cooper, John Cotton, and Jonathan Edwards.) or the Catholic Church as the "whore of Babylon". Now Protestants unwittingly believe that "our differences are not so great". Ah, that is just what She needs us to think! I've never completely understood why God led me to write these articles. But it becomes more clear with each day of study, and each page of research. Never has something so black and wicked, gotten away with appearing so holy and mysteriously beautiful . . . for so long!" (The Catholic Chronicles - Keith Green)

Stirring Words From Larry Thomas

"Rat poison is so effective because the food it's concealed in is good eating. It has to be or the rats wouldn't touch it. The deadly poison is only a small part of the food. But the poison - - - even in minute quantities - - -eventually does its job. IT KILLS. Today there is deadly poison being concealed in the sweet-tasting Word of God that will have the same lethal effect on the family of God. Dangerous, heretical teachings - - - cloaked in Scripture and biblical sounding terminology - - - are permeating the church. These teachings are so subtle, and sound so "right on" that even some of God's "elect" are being deceived." (Larry Thomas from his book "The Watchman", Double Crown Publishing, 1996, pages 46-47)

Powerful Words From Leonard Ravenhill

“Evangelists today are wide-eyed to the might of Communism, but tight lipped at the menace of Romanism. America would shake from coast to coast in twenty-four hours if some preacher, anointed with the Holy Ghost, gave the Roman Catholic Church a broadside! We stir national interest against the cruel, half-civilized Mau Mau (wicked enough), but powwow with, and pander to, the Roman Catholic Church! These priests who dope mens souls,these idolatrous “masses,” these Calvary eclipsing prayers to Mary, these miserable millions cheated in life and in death by the greatest forgery Lucifer ever made.” (Why Revival Tarries by Leonard Ravenhill, Bethany House Publishers, 1988, Copyright 1959)

Adam Clarke On Preaching The Word Of God

"Preach the word Proclaim the doctrine, the doctrine of Christ crucified, for the sins of the whole world; the doctrine, that the Gentiles are invited to be fellow heirs with the Jews, and that for Jews and Gentiles there is no salvation but by faith in Christ. Be instant in season, out of season Be urgent whether the times be prosperous or adverse, whenever there is an opportunity; and when there is none, strive to make one. The Judge is at the door, and to every man eternity is at hand! Wherever thou meetest a sinner, speak to him the word of reconciliation. Do not be contented with stated times and accustomed places merely; all time and place belong to God, and are proper for his work. Wherever it can be done, there it should be done. Satan will omit neither time nor place where he can destroy. Omit thou none where thou mayest be the instrument of salvation to any."

British Family Bible On Abraham’s Response To The Rich Man In Hell

"They have Moses and the Prophets." They have the books of Moses and the Prophets, written by men divinely inspired: these sufficiently declare to them the will of God and their duty: and it is unreasonable to demand or expect that God should do more for their conviction and satisfaction. The rich man in torment could think of no better expedient to rescue his brethren from the danger they were in, of coming into the same condition with himself, than sending one from the dead to admonish them, and to give them a faithful account how matters stood there, and how it fared with him. To this Abraham answers that they had already sufficient evidence of these things; that they wanted no means of knowledge, if they would make use of those they had. For, where unbelief proceeds, as frequently it does, from a vitiated and corrupted mind, which hates to be reformed; which rejects the evidence because it will not admit the doctrine; in such a case, all proofs will be alike, and it will be lost labour to afford new evidence, since it is not the want of evidence that causes the unbelief.

People’s NT Commentary On Abraham’s Response To The Rich Man In Hell

Neither will they be persuaded, etc. This was demonstrated in the case of Jesus himself. The Jews refused to accept Christ, though Moses and the prophets testified of him. They asked for a sign, and "the sign of the prophet Jonah" [Mt 12:39; 16:4; Lu 11:29,30], his resurrection from the dead, was given. Still they refused to repent. Unbelief is due, not to a lack of evidence, but to a rebellious heart. The seat of skepticism is in the moral nature.
