Rolando C I: To all the people of different nominal Christian religions?
I have heard people of all the different religions say. I have the holy spirit and God will guide me with it to worship him the right way. But the fact of the matter is that you are all divided in your belief’s you don’t agree totally with each other. If you had the holy spirit you would all be in total agreement in your belief’s. What you need to understand is that God is not revealing his truth to each individual alone he is using an Organization with God fearing people to do that.Acts 15:14,17. Are you willing to be open minded ?

“But the fact of the matter is that you are all divided in your belief’s you don’t agree totally with each other”
Wrong we agree on all the important stuff, its the little stuff that makes us differenent…but we are not different because we disagree, we are different because we are People
Some people like a nice quietly staid service, some like peeling the paint off the ceilings
Different denominations appeal to different people
The actual doctrinal differences are very slight
Catholic tripe
Answer by The Doctor“Nominal”? Judging people doesn’t sound like something a true Christian would be doing (“Judge not, lest ye be judged.”).Answer by Rod
Christianity still exists in the modern world because it apparently allows you to choose who, what, how and where to worship, and the fact that anyone bright enough to read at a third grade level can make up his or her own stupid interpretation of Bronze Age “wisdom”.

Answer by BibleChooser1) If you had the holy spirit you would all be in total agreement in your belief’s.
Well….that’s not exactly true. Notice, for example, how the Holy Spirit gives different abilities to different Christians:

I think it better to say that if the Holy Spirit were informing all Christians fully of all things pertaining to God, then we would all agree on all things related to God. Probably it is ourselves (our stubbornness and our weakness of faith) that prevents the Holy Spirit from unifying us in this incredible, miraculous manner.
Conclusion: all Christians who claim to “have the Holy Spirit” may, indeed, be telling the truth: but the Holy Spirit may not be providing them with *all* of the information that they believe is from the Holy Spirit.

Answer by Jon M dn ǝpıs sıɥ┴“If you had the holy spirit you would all be in total agreement” is not a true or biblically supportable statement.
The Holy Spirit moves in different people in different ways, gives different gifts to different children of God. Paul put it this way in 1 Cor 12:
14 And indeed the body consists not of one member but of many.
15 If the foot were to say, ‘I am not a hand and so I do not belong to the body,’ it does not belong to the body any the less for that.
16 Or if the ear were to say, ‘I am not an eye, and so I do not belong to the body,’ that would not stop its belonging to the body.
17 If the whole body were just an eye, how would there be any hearing? If the whole body were hearing, how would there be any smelling?
Many gifts are given from the one Spirit of God. Different perspectives on who/what God is, but to the extent they describe Him as love, they are all right: smaller pieces of a bigger picture.
Answer by yesmarI appreciate the thought neighbor, but in fact the Holy Spirit can deal with a myriad of individuals, worshiping God in many different ways.
The ‘way’ spoken of in scripture is the way of love, led by a faith in Jesus Christ. it is not a set of denominational rules and regulations, nor a law written on paper or stone.
Thanks for asking.Answer by Reoriented
The Holy Spirit does not assure agreement. The early Church as documented in Acts of the Apostles disagreed as to whether one must be a Jew to be a Christian.
Total agreement is impossible between intimate, married couples. You expect a closer relationship between two Christians? We can’t even agree with God if you take sin to be a disagreement.
Just as Jesus hung out with whores and cheats, the Holy Spirit is with us; Without merit though we are, God is with us.
Answer by VonI will give you a verse to answer your question.
Matthew 7:21….Answer by ♥ SJC ♥
To answer you, the problem is that so many people refuse to be baptized in the name of Jesus. What you need to understand is that God expects this. (Matt. 28:19, Acts 2:38, Acts 4:12)Answer by propheticards

The Gift of God guides into all Truth for I came to bring divisions and a sword, not necessarily, ‘peace’ among neighbors all the time. For a persons House Will be divided as in the days of Babel when the peoples did not seek that This Would Be The Will of God to love ones competitors in the vyings to stand firm to the end to the Salvation for My Own Hand Worked Salvation for Me and it would be an abhorrent thing for peoples to perish so that peoples may not perish is written and so that each will be Taught by God Personally in and among each receiving of what God Brings for there is One Teacher who Will Teach and Instruct in The Way in which one should go. What credit would it be to anyone if they receive only those of their own cohorts?
Answer by dark_scriptorI have read some of these answers and it amazes me that people say there are only “minor” doctrinal differences among “Christian” denominations. To anybody who is reasonably objective, that is not factual. Many believers have a tendency to conveniently forget that all Protestant religions are offshoots of the original Church of Rome. We see Westboro Baptist and their brand of love, corresponding Bible verses interpreted “correctly” by Fred, and the campaign of hate, intolerance and prejudice against homosexuals. Pat Robertson has an enormous listener base and he both encourages and condones assassination of foreign leaders. One version of “Christianity” maintains that black people were essentially placed on earth to be slaves. Judaism does not recognize Christ as the Messiah and yet evangelists like Hagee call themselves “Christian Zionists”. Many would agree Hagee to be a “man of God” and his version involves a clear slant towards the “elitism” status of Israel as God’s Chosen People. I contend that Christianity and Zionism are incompatible but apparently they are not, according to Hagee’s teachings.
Regarding the “Holy Spirit”… taking away the religious indoctrination, “Spirit” is simply the building blocks of creation. It is Spirit that makes our reality possible because IT is the raw material that forms everything in creation. It would only make sense that it would effect each individual in a way that is unique to the person. It’s important to be both vigilant and very careful with any type of experience where the Holy Spirit involvement is claimed.
BTW, One does not need to be “God fearing” to understand or work with Spirit for the betterment of mankind and according to the Creator’s Divine Plan. Just my opinion.
