Now the truth comes out !

You need lessons.

Give me the address to your church, if I am ever in your town I'll be glad to come by and point them out to you, blindfolded.

Without holiness, no gifts of the Spirit so all you have is sight. With holiness you can discern spirits and not by sight alone.

Has anyone on this thread mentioned makeup and Jezebel in the same breath except you? Who are you arguing with?
I have heard that this Jez in Rev is not the same Jez that is in the OT. Similar to when Lazarus died and Jesus brought him back alive it is told that at that time there could have been several Lazurus', similar to todays Lawrence or Larry, that were dead, but the one that was supposed to be raised up was because the voice of Jesus was specific to that Lazurus.

Absolutely ... but

That's when Holiness eminates from God ... and not ritualistic dress.

The gifts are operating in non-Holiness dress code churches.

Sure you can be considered rebelious against a man and not be unto God. Because a preacher says something does not make it gospel or even close to truth. Anyone can manipulate scripture to try and prove an argument. But the real truth is that rebeling against God is numero uno on the wrong list. It is QUITE possible to not obey a preaher and still be obeying God...the preacher can be wrong...God never is.

So without Jezebel Ahab would have been perfect?

Ahab was not right before God to begin with, that is the reason he married the painted hussy.

El Predicador ... you've evaded my question ... about a Holiness pastor who may not have this gift ... perhaps we need clarifying questions

Do you believe all Holy Ghost filled saints have the gift of discernment of spirits?

And is this gift in operation in all Holiness churches?

We all know that being in rebellion, and being considered in rebellion, is 2 different things.

Jezebel was not notorious in Israel for eye makeup.
Some say she IS a Jezebel for wearing makeup. And some say she is not. It's divided. I personally say it's a "spirit" of delusion. I know people(women) that wear makeup and "act " more godly than those who don't. I know men with long hair and beards that "act" more holy then some of these holy looking men in church!
We shall know them by their fruit. Not by what they wear aka outward appearance.
How can we "spot" them? I donno Dan, time? Time tells. By their fruit ye shall know them. What comes out of their mouths? Their actions. Doers of the word, not just sayers.[Do as I say, not as I do] Men can do this too, not just women. I'm not talking about men wearing womens clothes and makeup...duh
Great subject though. Bottom line...I believe its not outward associated.
