Professed miracles –

Professed spiritual contacts and direct faith

Professed direct leading

The rise of mysticism and

emotionalism has played a large role

in attributing to the Holy Spirit

things that we can be certain should

not be.

True spirituality is – Fearing God, and keeping His commandments as

defined by His word.

In Revealing The:In Revealing The:Ephes. 3:3-5 (NKJV)

how that by revelation He made known to me the mystery (as I have briefly written already, [4] by which, when you read, you

may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ), [5] which in other ages was not made known to the sons of men, as it has now been revealed by the Spirit to

His holy apostles and prophets:

for to one is given the word of wisdom through the Spirit, to another the word of knowledge through the same Spirit, [9] to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healings by the same Spirit, [10] to

another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another discerning of spirits, to another different kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation of

tongues. [11] But one and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing to each one individually as He wills.

New Testament

Therefore we must give the more earnest heed to the things we have heard, lest we drift away. [2] For if the

word spoken through angels proved steadfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just reward,

[3] how shall we escape if we neglect so great a salvation, which at the first began to be spoken by the

Lord, and was confirmed to us by those who heard Him, [4] God also bearing witness both with signs and

wonders, with various miracles, and gifts of the Holy Spirit, according to His own will?

knowledge, it shall vanish away. [9] For we know in part, and we prophesy in part. [10] But when that which is perfect is come, then that

which is in part shall be done away.
