The reason you do NOT test the Spirit of anything in the Bible is because you BLINDLY accept everything in it.
You are making an assumption without adequate knowledge. You ASSUME if I you disagree I have not tested the spirit. Actually you can't post a verse that test us to test the spirit. I don't need to test the Spirit, He will never lead me astray.
[QUOTE What are the characteristics of the Spirit that you use to decide if something is compatible or consistent with the Spirit????? [/quote]

I ask you because I don' think you can show me from the Bible that we should test the Spirit.
This is how I know that you do NOT know the Spirit. You can't even describe the characteristics of the Spirit or where to find them in the Bible. That is how I know you test the Spirit of nothing. You can't if you do not know what characteristics are of the Spirit and what are not. Read 1 Cor 13, Galatians 5 and the Sermon on the Mount for starter details.

We do NOT argue the Bible is foolishness, Finn. WHY do you insist on lying about us?????

You aren't BEING saved, Finn, you ARE saved. It is finished. Jesus did it.

No, just 90% of it. Why do you insist on lying about YOURSELF?
Wrong again. We were saved (outer court/spirit), we are being saved (inner court/soul) and we shall be saved (Holy of Holies/body).
When He said, "It is finished" it was the same words the High Priest spoke on one day a year. It did NOT mean that you never have to do a thing but sit on your particular brand of donkey (carnal ass nature) and call it a day, just because you decided to believe He was who He said He was. The devils also believe and tremble. Don't you want more than a devil? Peace

We don't need to test the Holy Spirit, we need to test the Spirit of everything else to determine if it is From God or not. That is why we need to know the characteristics of the Holy Spirit so we can compare the characteristics of every verse to determine which are from God or Jesus and not from men. You are accepting false doctrine if you do not test the Spirit of everything.

::Sigh:: So you have no clue and it is just magic. You believe that if you claim to believe the "right" things and perform the "right" rituals you will magically be able to blindly accept everything in the Bible without testing it.

The 90% is YOUR bogus number. We accept everything that is compatible with the Holy Spirit of agape that Jesus revealed and demonstrated as the true nature of God. You do not. You retain the veil of ignorance over reading the OT and do NOT know our loving God as revealed by Christ.

Court schmourt! We are saved. We are being sanctified and we shall be justified before God by Jesus and His perfect agape love for us all.

Lying again. You know that I am not an easy believer. We MUST love God and each other every single day of our lives and repent when we don't. We just need to have faith that Jesus did what He said He did. In other words, we just need to believe Him, NOT believe IN Him or a bunch of stuff ABOUT Him.
Of course. Everything you know about Christ, you learned from the Bible.
Not true at all. I get a lot of inspiration and see and hear God through what i see in others, the ocean, the mountains, the hills, the streams, animals, the sun, blue sky, the grey sky, the planets and the stars, and endless other things.
Test ALL Things, and hold fast to that which is good.
Go back and read it again. That verse is about quenching the Spirit. If you don't understand the difference, just ask.
