Okay so I don't really want to copy cat Bekah. I was looking through some papers in my Bible about a month ago and I saw where I had written all these quotes on all these different sheets of paper and I decided to compile them onto what I thought would be 1 sheet of paper, but it turned into 5 pages front and back. Since I had these all together I thought I would share them with you. I hope you enjoy them.

"Do not be satisfied with a man telling you that you are right with God. Wait for God to give you His witness: the baptism of the holy Ghost with the evidence of the Spirit's voice crying out through you, 'Abba Father." Remember what John the apostle wrote: 'It is the Spirit that bears witness because the Spirit is truth' (1 Jn. 5:6b). Men can misunderstand, but the holy Ghost never does. Men can misjudge, but the holy Ghost never does. Every person who has received the holy Ghost baptism has repented of his sins, and every person who has not received the holy Ghost has not repented of his sins. To maintain the standard is to have faith in God, in his judgements of the hearts of men. And that is as complicated as our faith ever need be." ~ TFM 4/8/06
