What does it mean to be baptized in the Holy Spirit? I thought it was the moment you decided to give your life to Christ (John 1:29-34). However, I heard someone ask another "if they have been baptized in the Holy Spirit" KNOWING they already had gave their life to Christ, and that threw me off.  A: A secondary filling or empowering is a false teaching, due to misunderstanding Scripture, and false preachers use it to try to push some special thing to gain followers, and decieve people. Avoid anyone who holds that belief, they are decieved and deceiving others, act superior and self righteous. Attention seekers who 99% are not Christian. This new belief began in 1906 and intentionally uses an incorrect interpretation of Scripture. I would say it was started by a cult leader. It isnt biblical nor does it manifest as from God. Scripture says test the spirits, and use discernment.  To be baptized in the Holy Spirit means to be immersed, filled, and empowered by the Spirit of God...

They reflect a high view of God’s sovereignty, His preserving grace, and the believer’s secure redemption in Christ. 1. When You Are Suffering Purpose: To help you interpret suffering through God’s character, promises, and purposes.

Today believers need to be careful what sources & tools they use because worldly tech fed secular database sets and secular sites online... so we need to use Christian ai tools so we know it is reliable. One tool is  Answers in Genesis Ai chat .  It can pull up Bible verses and articles and resources from the site. It has topic answers related to Genesis 1-11 (which covers all of the Bible, and deals with athiesm, creation, and woke/feminist issues of today). Their chat bot activates when you log in, and all you say stays in that chat history.  Logos  has a Ai now that is robust that you can use. ⭐️ It is a long known reliable company. It has been around since 1992, and I used it as early as 2002. It has improved over time and is a very good software. It has loads of books, and resources, but it now has Ai and recently added Apologetical helps, so you can get solid research to help you as you study, meditate, think through questions biblically, and guides you....

Q: Beginning my journey into Christianity (leaning towards Catholicism) after straying from my faith path.  One of the reasons I left was a resentment towards the religion because I felt it was misogynistic. I confused cultural norms at the time not looking to Scripture & it coming from God himself. I felt that all the mysoginistic things I had read into in 1 Timothy 2:12-13  meant God felt we were less than and inferior in all ways- this made me feel like it was impossible to love him if he felt so little about me.  One thing that will help me rekindle my relationship is learning the value in women, that we arent less than, and that he does in fact love us. We arent inferior and that we have a purpose. If I can learn this, I know the rest will follow for me easier because this was one of the top things for me.  A: The world decieves and distorts the truth, taught that in culture and in todays atheistic anti-God public school systems & perpetuated more by eve...

Should you read & take advice from Laura Doyle's book The Empowered Wife? And, What other better books can help? In short: I did  not  find any indication that The Empowered Wife by Laura Doyle is endorsed by solid biblical churches nor widely accepted within conservative Christian theological circles. What I found suggests a mixed reception, with  implications  you should evaluate if you are reading or recommending it. Here’s a breakdown: ✅ What the book does The Empowered Wife is positioned as marketed as a Christian-friendly marriage-help book: it uses Christian  language  and targets “women who want to build a joyful, intimate marriage.”  It offers six “Intimacy Skills” for wives: e.g., self-care, relinquishing unhealthy control, respect, receiving, vulnerability, gratitude.  Some Christian women (outside solid biblical churches) report having found benefit from the book or its principles.  ⚠️ What raises caution from a biblical/theol...
