Most? Where'd you get that figure?

The people I speak of understand the freedom we have in Christ. My Bible study group was talking about that very thing just last week.

Encountering the Spirit?, can you or Rbbi explain your individual encounters.

Right. What is their position on women in ministry?

Which of hundreds would you like to hear about? Every time a gift is manifested, that's an encounter with the Spirit. Every time a revelation is given, that's an encounter with the Spirit. Every time a vision is seen, that's an encounter with the Spirit. Every time He speaks something, that's an encounter with the Spirit. Every time He manifests healing in you or another individual you're praying for, that's an encounter with the Spirit. Every time He gives you a dream, that's an encounter with the Spirit.....and on and on and on. Peace

Obviously, we have a different understanding of "freedom in Christ".

Describing what the SPIRIT does, is not boasting in oneself. Peace

It's ironic you post that scripture (from the Bible, which you largely reject) and then continue to post that name which offends Rbbi. Is that what agape love looks like?

It's a gesture of respect. Now, do you put your palms together, while praying?
