Excellent point. Vulnerability is a by product of ignorance. My experience has led me to question the wisdom of people who claim spirituality and holiness.

Holiness biblically defined is "ones proximity to God". How can Apostolics claim holiness, without wisdom? Assumptions, suppositions, jumping to conclusions, this is not wisdom, but stupidity.

I remember Pastor Charles Grisham from Detroit preaching this in Georgia...

"If a judge gets the Holy Ghost, you have a saved judge.

If a policeman gets the Holy Ghost, you have a saved policeman.

If a dingbat gets the Holy Ghost, you have a saved dingbat."

Unless the elder is in error, I reckon that the Holy Ghost does not MAKE one smarter.

However, the Holy Ghost WILL lead and guide you into all truth. Trouble is--you gotta follow.


Blessings


Parson

I've been around a few churches and denominations, just to name a few and there were plenty of dumb; Catholics, Congregationalists, Methodists, Seventh-Day Advenist, Charismatics and AoG people... Why the need to pick on Apostolics? There are plenty of people dumber than us and some smarter than us, but none of them are saved like us, and whatever they have isn't what I want, cause I've been there and done that, and the grass is greener right here- in GOD's Church!

GOD BLESS!

It is our Elitist attitude that is our plague. I got the holy ghost and they don't.

So many stop right therre and stdy the word no further for themselves.
We have among us some of the most biblically ignorant people in the world.

Before you all shoot me, we do have some among us who have studied the word in depth.

For instance, Unregistered one of the most studious posters among us. Always right on topic. Always the right answer. Unregistered is the the greatest all time smartest poster on this forum.

I'd rather belong to the mutual admiration society any day. Why are you always playing with your big fish?

I agree, but the bible tells us to ask God for wisdom and he will give it to us. Again, if we are so spiritual, why are we so STUPID!!!
