I'm open to a fuller distinction being drawn between the RCC and the (non-existent) DMC. Do you have a home church? Are you the leading teacher? (deleneate your role within). Indeed, I may have a flawed perception on this.
How may we be defining God's Spirit differently, David? I watched a documentary recently which dealt with Benny Hinn's ministry. A forensic accountant was brought in to analyze the paper trail (credit card slips, cheques etc.).Interesting. Also, I remember 'The Amazing Randi' appearing on the Carson show in order to play a recording he'd made of Peter Popoff feigning a word of knowledge while listening to his wife speaking to him through an earpiece. People whom God invests with 'authority' are accountable. You aren't saying more than this vis a vis some catholics you've known (of) are you? ----- Original Message ----- From: "David Miller" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: July 09, 2005 21:30 Subject: Re: [TruthTalk] All believers are ONE IN CHRIST > Lance wrote: > > The MAIN POINT IS that there are many Catholic > > believers, filled with God's Spirit who worship and > > serve God faithfully within the RCC just as do you > > in tthe DMC.
