So, my new Apostolic Magazine comes in the mail and here is this article on "how to pray people through". An interview with a hot shot praying people through evangelist. He says he has a 95% success rate...how does he know his success rate? Is there someone counting those who get it and those who don't and then do the math for him?
A few interesting quotes;
"People need to relax...they will not get the Holy Ghost while being uptight".
Question: If you pray with someone for a while and they seem to be getting nowhere, what do you do?
Answer: If people seem to struggle, they may not have fully repented, so I make sure they confess their sins and get it all out.
Now my question to you all: Where does it say you have to repent to receive the gift of tongues? And did not Jesus say..."how much more will your heavenly father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask"
How much repenting would one need to do to speak in tongues and get it all out? And is repentance a requisite to receiving the gifts? Are not the gifts given without repentance
Romans 11:29 For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance.
If his gifts are irrevocable, how can one ever repent enough to merit receiving?
