and

1 Corinthians 12:13

"For by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free, and we were all made to drink of one Spirit.

Then would you say that a trinitarian, like the Bishop, filled with the baptism of the Holy Ghost IS HIS or NOT HIS?

or perhaps .....

Do they have a false Holy Ghost? ....

Someone saying they received a "false" Holy Ghost is in direct contradiction of the scriptures if they are seeking the HG. You can't get a counterfeit if you're seeking the real thing. "How much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Ghost to them that ask Him?"

Should we judge their HG by their tongues?

While tongues is the indeed the physical evidence of the baptsim of the Holy Ghost but according to the bible it is a sign for the unbeliever ....

so, us as believers .... what should we look for ????

MOW said it best in the His or Not His

If we are going to interpret all of God's Word ... using the whole counsel of the word then ... we need to realize that God is moving, sealing, and baptizing a Bride, His Body unto himself.

If we were to ask the Bishop he would have told us that he obeyed Acts 2:38.

IF the Bishop had his sins remitted by baptism in Jesus Name (which I seriously doubt) he is guilty for not preaching that message and by influence leading his denomination to continue in the error Bishop Mason probagated thus causing millions to be lost. The POPE would tell you he obeyed Acts 2 :38 so what?? Billy (goat) Graham would say the same thing. OPral Roberts and EVERY false prophet living and dead would probably say the same. Saying it and doing it is two different things.
