Scare tactics. I grew up with them. They are unmerited.
It rains on the just and the unjust......and Asaph said he nearly slipped when he saw the prosperity of the wicked.......

No offense Michael, I sometimes think I am in another Church than the one most go to on AFF. I was born in the Spirit, try to live in the Spirit, & have the Spirit guide my life. I have been around the use of Spiritual Gifts for coming on 30 years now. I have seen Agels, had visions, dreams from God.
I have been there to cast out demons & have heard the voice of God a few times so audibly loud that I have turned my head because I thought he God was physically in the room with me.
I have been in services where someone (in the judgement of God) was turned over to a reprobate mind. That person is looney tunes today sadly.
I have had God prophetically say, "there are two spirits at work here & if you do not repent you will die."
There was a witness in my spirit that this was God talking & not some scare tactic.
Michael, I know the voice of God, & when I prayed 3 years ago about the lack of respect for Apostolic Ministers on this board especially & in other places, he was not impressed either & said that he would deal with it.
Now if that means that anyone on here doesn't wake up tomorrow, or ever gain--that is his business.
Nothing may happen until that last breath which may be 100 years old, but I am not presumptious as those whom Jude talks about in the New Testament.
Call me a crackpot, a wingnut, I could care less, but I think before you outright dismiss me, that you may want to consider the scriptures & pray before you chew & spit out Ministers with complete contempt.
There is a Bible process we should abide by---that is if we beleive in the divine authority of the Word of God.
BTW, the Bible has clear examples of dealing with troublemakers & it ain't pretty--look them up.
