I can't find the teaching by Sciscoe that I was looking for. It used to be in the recordings on their website. I did find another article after googling the phrase about the gifts being without repentance. I think it elaborates on the subject quite well:

This also explains some of the abuses in the church regardingthe ministry and the gifts. While God's gifts and calling are withoutrepentance, that alone does not insure that His gifts and callingwill be valued by those He calls. There are many, even thoughthey have received salvation and gifts from God, have used thosethings for their own purposes. Instead of using the gifts of the HolySpirit to God's glory and to the edification of the Body, they haveused them for their own glory. Yet God allows them to do so. Hedoesn't take back what He has freely given.

Contradicts entirely with the word of God, and shows clear lack of understanding of the God we serve.

Im amazed that people just take any random reference off the internet and run with it, also leading others astray. Sad.

Okay... You have interpreted my thought processes and motives in a way that I am not very happy with. You seem to have targeted me. I didn't reply to yoyr first post because you didn't give the bible references that you referred to. As for leading people astray... I am quite shocked. This feels like cyberbullying.

I did read that 1st reference off the internet; didn't have to read the whole thing for it to click. Nobody is leading me astray... The Lord shows me what's real and what's not. It's people that don't bother reading their word and just go with whatever some pastors are saying without questioning it or looking for scriptural references that are easily led astray. Thanks for the concern tho'


@Jen4Yeshua thanks... appreciate it!
