Only the Apostles were Predestined

[FreeInChrist]

Yes, but from the day I was baptized in the Holy Spirit I could hear God's voice. It is He who said to me, "Now, be baptized in water." It looks like the other three didn't count according to Him. And now He's given me a new gift that we know Satan counterfeits. The ability to see auras. Psychic mediums see colors around people. God's gift only sees auras during sermons which are prophecy, but not the future, the true interpretation of the Scriptures. I now know that if I see nothing, the sermon wasn't from God, it wasn't anointed.

What is wrong about my experiences and my "conversion" it was God's doing. Sorry, John Calvin was wrong. Calvin also started cessationism that many other Protestant denominations have chosen to accept.

I have all of the gifts of the Spirit except the last two from 1 Corinthians 12:8-10. Plus this "wonder" regarding my eyes not listed. But we see it in 1 Cor. 2:9-13.

And you are included in the ones who were predestined. Not ALL are.

There are no "auras." We judge sermons given from the pulpit or on a personal level in our conversations with others by whether such person says the same thing as God. Prophecy is judged by whether a person says the same thing as God. But not everyone is the mouth in the body of Christ. Not everyone has the same calling, the same gifts of the Spirit, the same place in His body. If a prophet says a thing in the name of God and that thing does not come to pass (speaking of fore-telling), then that is a word that is not of God. A prophet that forth-tells must say the same thing as God and we have the Scripture to judge any man who says he speaks for God.

I am sorry but I disagree with you. Not even Saul had "all the gifts" of the Spirit. The only One who did is Jesus Christ.
And it is the Spirit who gives the gifts out to believers "severally as He will."
The mark of a true prophet is not anything he says that is future, but what He says that is past and today. A true prophet is one who says everything that is written in Scripture, whether directly or through paraphrase. We must ALL see the same Jesus; we must ALL say the same thing as God. To do otherwise is to oppose God.
A true prophet or seer is one who bears the Word of God and is used of God to declare His counsel at opportune times and when such times are warranted.

Why me?

I prefer to say "halos." But once I saw black smoke billowing out of the pastor's head which was a backdrop for a tornado. What would you call that?

Well, not at the same time, but I've experienced them all from 1 Cor. 12 (except the last 2), Mark 16, Joel 2 (dreams and visions), and Ephesians 4 (Teacher), and some from Revelation 12. Jesus said the apostles would do more than He did. What gifts didn't Paul have?

Why me?

Because... of your accepted gifts from God... assuming you truly believe they are from Him Just like Jeremiah, and the Apostles and many others.... you were chosen for a purpose. You have explained your times though life... And you have gifts that no onthers have on here.

I have a friend from the UK who was chased away from a frum here... not banned, mind you, but made to feel so uncomfortable that I could not encourage her to join here because she was afraid of what she would run into.

She absolutely was pricked by the Holy Spirit and never looked back. And this one never had a bible in her house nor was a church goer.... but it all changed when God laid His finger on her. And she was a sponge soaking it all up. Family distanced themselves... which is a shame.... Now I feel she has a mission. I could not convince her of that.

While I was driving from Arizona to California I was in the Arizona desert and I heard God speak to me and said, "I am giving you the office of Teacher." Maybe if I am going to teach on something, I need to experience it, not just read about it. The most wonderful experience was when I went from a partial Christian who wondered if God existed, to not only a witness that God existed, but a personal friend, even family.
