Of course I agree with him! He said 2011 is the end of the world. Period. And the rapture is on May 21, 2011. He believes one has no choice in repentance, too. Salvation is unmerited, cannot be achieved by good works or prayer, and is a pure act of God's grace. Go, Harold!

Ok. So the "lol" means you don't agree with him? But what does it say that I thought you might be serious?

Re: How many times did you ask God for the Holy Gh
Question: so the folks who prayed for the Holy Spirit more than once, how did you know when you were filled?

Re: How many times did you ask God for the Holy Gh
What always bothers me is watching relatively "innocent" and God fearing and loving children cry and beg for the HG. The are confessing every sin known and unknown, yet they cannot seem to find that ever elusive experience. They leave the altar disappointed and disillusioned, confident that God must not be hearing their prayers. We are left with the unenviable task of trying to explain why a loving God, who can save murderers and drug addicts, did not answer their request to fill their young soul with his Spirit yet again.
This can happen with those that are new in the church as well. They do all they can to repent and receive his Spirit in the manner we explain it must come. They would crawl on a mile of broken glass if we told them it was necessary. We have no such accounts anywhere in scripture. What's wrong?
I'm sorry, but whenever these type of things occur, my mind goes to the story or Elijah and the prophets of Baal. All that is missing from many altar services are the knives.
However, rather than identifying with Elijah, our activities resemble more closely those of the prophets of Baal.
Anyone else observe this?

Yes. It is heartbreaking.
