The Holy Ghost has two things that make him recognizable. Peace and Joy. Also intelligence will be shared.

The Holy Ghost does not make a person shake and flail about, and the gift of tounges is not going to occur without a translator.

You know what the Holy Ghost feels like, and now you know what a counterfeit spirit feels like.

Pray about these things, and ask for the Holy Ghost to be with you, and judge for yourself what is right.

Satan can offer false prophecy, like knowing things about you, but Satan cannot counterfeit the true feelings of the Holy Ghost.

I was so unsettled last night, I even halucinated. Urgh... I understand what my mum said about this church and I don't think I will forget how I felt and why I cried and what was going through my head and how much comfort I felt in my own church. I know that there was a moment of confusion when they said this is what GOD wants us to know and this is the power of God and that God actually comes down to join us. Perhaps that is what they believe, but I hope God understands that it is not what I believe and that it scares me. I am not sure if it is true or not or whether it is bad or good, but screaming for God in my head to get me out of there would suggest it wasn't right for me.

The name of the Church was Hull Vineyard.
Arghhh...

Oh, I got to tell you about the girl bearing her testimony Yesterday. It was strange. It turned into an autobiography.

Porter,

Glad you realize that. And remember, "knowing is half the battle !" : )

A counterfeit spirit? You base that characterization on what exactly?

Why would a God, who is the source of all intelligence and power, who spends his time seeking to elevate his offspring, cause a person to uncontrollably shake and cry out? that's not the Holy Ghost, that's a false spirit.

Are you saying that the Holy Ghost doesn't convict one of their sinful nature? Are you saying that the concept of fear and trembling isn't Biblical?
