How about going to the church to edify one another like Paul said?

I never said "stuff". I said deeper "spiritual realities". For example, getting the Holy Ghost is a deeper spiritual reality than religion. Praying in tongues and then experiencing interpretation is a deeper spiritual reality. There are so many things we are not seeking... that are ours by spiritual birthright.
Aquila I see a big HOLE in what you are saying. You seem to be seeking experiences. Seeking a sign...What happened to seeking God? Get close to Him. The gifts are for edifying the body not having an experience

Amen. Maybe you've been mentored enough in the Lord to understand how to deal with impressions that the Spirit gives you about people. For some of us... it makes us hate crowds. Exhausts us. And causes us to question things. We've never had a strong prophet of God willing to teach us what we're experiencing.
Let me give you an example of a specific. I was praying for a brother I had not seen in months about his situation. I "felt" impressed with something but wondered if it was God.

I then felt "impressed" that to verify this when I got home he would be on the phone with my roomie

Well when I walked through door he was on the phone with my roomie. That's specific. And what I told him wasn't some generalities about his life (a reading) but specific instructions on what he needed to do.

Like I said, these general "readings", psychics have been doing for years and in a good sized sample they will always get a hit

Let it be understood that Apostolic Friends Forum is an Apostolic Forum.
Apostolic is defined on AFF as:


  1. There is One God. This one God reveals Himself distinctly as Father, Son and Holy Ghost.
  2. The Son is God himself in a human form or "God manifested in the flesh" (1Tim 3:16)
  3. Every sinner must repent of their sins.
  4. That Jesus name baptism is the only biblical mode of water baptism.
  5. That the Holy Ghost is for today and is received by faith with the initial evidence of speaking in tongues.
  6. The saint will go on to strive to live a holy life, pleasing to God.
