Amnesia
My wife was relating a story to me of a man that had been in an accident and lost his memory. He couldn't remember his wife being his wife.
Do any of you know of someone filled with the Holy Ghost that has experienced amnesia after they were filled? Can damage to the brain cause one to forget they are filled? Would the Holy Ghost depart because of a brain damage? |
I love this question! Can you imagine if he was in a strange place and no one could figure out who his family/friends were? The man would have to be exposed to Pentecost all over again, recognize it as truth, and then he would have to go through all of the "seeking" and torment and fear and guilt all over again from scratch...

Interesting topic... I don't think I have heard of any cases like this.... from what I have heard the memory recovery seems to come back to some slowly..
|
Obviously the guy would still be saved, but he wouldn't know he was saved until his memory came back... what if he watched television before his memory came back? Or wore shorts or something really horrible like that? He wouldn't have a Pentecostal yardstick to measure by so would only be able to use the worldly culture as a gauge for modesty, etc. This topic has all kinds of potential!

Where's rolled up news paper when you need it? :nah :club :heeheehee I was hoping to have some reasonable dialog not an anti-UPC/Standards diatribe..... I really would like to know if there has been an actual case of someone having the Holy Ghost experiencing Amnesia..... |
Well, my Pentecostal answer is that the person would still be filled even though he/she had a memory loss... but would still be responsible for his/her actions while having the memory loss... if the person died in that condition, they would still potentially be "saved", depending on what sins they had committed between the memory loss and their death.
(but it is so much fun the other way!) :D |
By the way, I have heard that true amnesia is actually very rare (unlike in books and movies).
|
Another way to see it would be someone having Alzheimer's...and forgetting who they were...
I do think that God is a Merciful and Rightous Judge... he will make the ultimate decision concerning folks when it comes... |

I have no doubt that the Holy Ghost still abides. I just was wondering if someone had every experienced this scenario. I find it interesting to think about. Wouldn't it be something if no Holy Ghost filled person had experienced amnesia because of protection from the same? |
DON'T REMEMBER LOVING YOU (Harlan Howard / Bobby Braddock) John Conlee I don't remember loving you And I don't recall the things You say you put me through You tell me that you've had A guilty conscience for so long You say that you walked out on me You say you did me wrong Well, I just don't see how that could be true 'Cause I don't remember loving you I don't remember loving you You might talk to my doctor He drops by each day at two I get a funny feeling When I look into your eyes There's something in your smile That gives my stomach butterflies You must look like someone I once knew But I don't remember loving you CHORUS I don't remember loving you I heard you mention children Did you say there's one or two? You say I quit my job And then I drank myself insane You say that I ran down the highway Screaming out your name Well, that's not the sort of thing that I would do No, I don't remember loving you I don't remember loving you I absolutely positively Know that can't be true But everyone I know here in this place Is really strange If you'll hand me my crayons I'll be glad to take your name In case I run across that guy you knew But I don't remember loving you I don't remember loving you And I don't recall the things You say you put me through You tell me that you've had A guilty conscience for so long You say that you walked out on me You say you did me wrong Well, I just don't see how that could be true 'Cause I don't remember loving you http://lyricsplayground.com/alpha/songs/i/idontrememberlovingyou.shtml |

I know a UPC preacher that has it, he is my great-uncle. It goes in spurts though and he remembers who HE is, just not most other people (even if he has known them for 30 years). 20 minutes later he is back to normal again...

Does he still feel the Spirit or speak in tongues when he's not his normal self? Does he talk about God? |

I know of a pastor's wife that has suffered amnesia. The story was related to me by someone from the church. She was the church secretary and very involved in the church - still is involved- The husband went out of the country for a couple of weeks and when he came back she had suffered amnesia. He has taken her to several specialists. They are scratching their heads- They felt she must have suffered some trauma while he was gone- but could not find any physical reason for her amnesia. She could not remember any of the church business or her family members. This happened a couple of years ago. From what I was told she is building a life from the time she suffered her memory loss. They brought in family members to help her with her children and with the church business. I know this is a strange story.

I'm not worried about amnesia. I'm worried about Alzheimer's. I don't want that.!! But if it comes to that, my prayer is that of everything that I don't remember, that I'll always remember a real experience with God.
