Op thank you. The same people will call holy ghost fire to consume and destroy their so called enemies meanwhile the Bible taught us in .Luke 6:28 (KJV). Bless them that curse you, and pray for them which despitefully use you....Even when Jesus was been crusified, He prayed for His enemies...Luke 23.34. (KJV) Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do... Africans and their method of Christianity very pathetic..

Happy sunday fellow christians.

Now let's look at it from the bible; when the Holy Ghost/Spirit was poured out on the day of penticost, the bible related fire to it. (And other incidents that followed) but it was never recorded anywhere in the bible where the 'fire of the Holy Spirit', in this case 'Holy Ghost fire' ever burnth or consumed anyone.

Now, I will like to hear your say on the topic if this Holy Ghost fire prayer is biblical

Do not use any fetish fire to quell the darkness around you, nor where we commanded to use Holyghost fire to fight of the fangs of hade.

Holyghost fire indwells the Believer!

Do you know this? This is so, by which they could stand out from the crowd.

Instead wear the whole ARMOUR (protection)of God to be able to fight of the evil and deceptive tricks of Satan and his hordes.

Now, goto Ephesians 6:10-18.

Do you see? In place of fighting foolishly with the Fathers great name, why not use His armour of Love?

Bless you.

Addicted2Women:

Religion is the biggest scam in the history of mankind.

The Bible is a cool children's story book

A lovely heavenly father who lives in the clouds, sleeps on a gold bed but watches his children die of cancer here on earth

You mean a man who cured the sick, fed the poor,
cast out demons but couldn't handle 3 nails on the cross

A man fed 5 thousand people with 2 fishes ??

A virgin who has never been with a man miraculously got pregnant by the holy Spirit ??

I'm not mentally unstable enough to believe your stupid story and religion

I've always known this "addicted to women" guy to seek for cheap likes and comments, but there are things are not meant for kids.
Muslims will ask you to perform some Islamic stuffs b4 u can comment on their posts, but because Christianity is grace sufficient, we all miscreants like you to just post as you like.

there is holy ghost fire but the essence is not to kill but to purify and to deliver.


The anointing and baptism of the holy spirit can also be likened to fire.

lol. he is the one looking for trouble......this is a Christian thread and he just create space for trouble

Holy Ghost fell on the first disciples in Act 2:1-3 in the image of fire not FIRE but because God has operated with fire in the old testament to destroy enemies, Christian who are yet to embrace the full gospel of Christ which is centred on LOVE erroneously apply the concept of holy ghost fire for destructive activities. However, holy ghost has no fire but can manifest himself in the form of fire. In answering the question in view, this doctrine is not biblical but if it is working for some Christians, praise God and let them continue but remember that Christ message is that of LOVE for our enemies and not destruction. God bless you and have a blissful Sunday.

EMILO2STAY:
Instead of carefully scrutinizing
what they have been taught in the
light of the Scriptures, many
professed Christians today allow
themselves to be carried away by
every wind of doctrine as long as such appear to satisfy their
immediate emotional and material
concerns. One of such doctrines is
the teaching that there is something
like "holy ghost fire" which can be
invoked to destroy one's enemies or whatever obstacles that may lie in
one's way. Wrong notions
We must point out that the incident in
Acts 2: 1-41 in which the 12 apostles
spoke in tongues in fulfillment of the
Lord's promise cannot be used to
justify holy ghost fire prayers. In the first place what happened on that day
was that the apostles spokevarious
languages other than their own
Galilean tongue .The testimony by
those who heard the apostles is clear
on this, as it is written: "And they were all amazed and marvelled, saying one
to another, Behold, are not all these
which speak Galileans? And how hear
we every man in our own tongue,
wherein we were born? Parthians, and
Medes, and Elamites, and the dwellers in Mesopotamia, and in Judaea, and
Cappadocia, in Pontus, and Asia,
Phrygia, and Pamphylia, in Egypt, and
in the parts of Libya about Cyrene, and
strangers of Rome, Jews and
proselytes, Cretes and Arabians, we do hear them speak in our tongues the
wonderful works of God." - Acts
2:7-11.
From the text above one could see that
the tongues spoken by the apostles
were known languages which were understood by the people who had
converged at Jerusalem for the
Pentecost, a later name for the feast of
weeks which comes up on the 50th
day after the Passover. The apostles
did not behave in a wild manner. They were preaching, not praying. What
obtains these days however is that the
congregation keep shouting
sometimes for hours on end, uttering
unintelligible sounds (which they call
speaking in tongues) - all in the name of prayers. This is of course the direct
opposite of what happened on the
day of Pentecost.
What these professed Christians fail to
realize is that speaking in tongues was
necessary when Christianity was at its infancy so that the gospel could reach
those who were not Jews. After a
while, the gift ceased. The time of
speaking in tongues has passed as St.
Paul himself declared. - 1 Corinthians
13:8. When Jesus Christ spoke of the
kingdom of heaven suffering
"violence" and the "violent" taking it
by force, he meant that the devil and
his agents use violence to continually
persecute the true servants of God and make false claims to the kingdom(2
Corinthians 11:13-15) History is
replete with records of atrocities
committed by so-called Church leaders
against those they called "heretics".
Such churches have proved themselves not to be the servants of
God. - Revelation 2:9; 3:9. Another place cited by those who
believe and teach the doctrine of holy
ghost fire is Matthew 3:11. In the text
John the Baptist, speaking of Jesus
Christ stated: "I indeed baptize you
with water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I,
whose shoes I am not worthy to bear:
he shall baptize you with the Holy
Ghost, and with fire" It should be
noted that this text does not say one
should pray for fire to destroy one's enemies. The statement of John the
Baptist meant that the mission of Christ
was of a far higher order than his.
After Christ had been baptized with
water by John the Baptist, the holy
spirit alighted on him in the form of a dove. (Matthew 3:16-17) Thereafter
he promised the apostles the gift of
the holy spirit (or the spirit of
anointing) which fulfilled on the day of
Pentecost when the spirit descended
on them in the form of cloven tongues of fire. (Luke 24:47-49; Acts 1:3-8; Acts
2:1-41) This was the baptism with the
holy spirit spoken of by John the
Baptist. Holy Spirit not Holy Ghost
There is nothing like Holy Ghost. The
word ghost, according to The New
Imperial Reference Dictionary comes
from the archaic English word g'ast
which is derived from the German word geist, meaning "a spirit
appearing after death". The Oxford
Advanced Learners Dictionary says it
means "the spirit of a dead person
appearing to somebody who is still
living" while the Websters New World Dictionary defines ghost as among
other things "the supposed
disembodied spirit of a dead person,
conceived of as appearing to the living
as a pale, shadowy apparition"
The word ghost was wrongly used by the translators of the King James
Version of the Bible to stand for "spirit"
which is the same thing as "breath of
life" - the power of God which is
responsible for the functioning of the
organs. For instance John 19:30 is rendered in the King James Version as
follows: "When Jesus therefore had
received the vinegar, he said, It is
finished: and he bowed his head, and
gave up the ghost." But the New King
James Version has translated it thus: " So when Jesus had received the sour
wine, He said, "It is finished!" And
bowing His head, He gave up His
spirit". Other translations such as the
New American Standard Version, the
New International Version, the Revised Standard Version, The Living Bible, the
Jerusalem Bible and so on have all
changed the word ghost to spirit.
The term Ghost" is also wrongly used
to stand for holy spirit. For instance
Matthew 28:19 is rendered thus in the King James Version "Go ye therefore,
and teach all nations, baptizing them
in the name of the Father, and of the
Son, and of the Holy Ghost." But this
has been amended in the New King
James Version to read "Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations,
baptizing them in the name of the
Father and of the Son and of the Holy
Spirit." Jesus' Example
That God is opposed to the practice of
praying for fire to burn people is
eloquently attested to by the
statement of Christ when he was to
pass through some Samaritan villages and they would not let him pass as it is
written: "And it came to pass, when the
time was come that he should be
received up, he stedfastly set his face
to go to Jerusalem. And sent
messengers before his face: and they went, and entered into a village of the
Samaritans, to make ready for him. And
they did not receive him, because his
face was as though he would go to
Jerusalem. And when his disciples
James and John saw this, they said, Lord, wilt thou that we command fire
to come down from heaven, and
consume them, even as Elias did? But
he turned, and rebuked them, and
said, "Ye know not what manner of
spirit ye are of. For the Son of man is not come to destroy men's lives, but
to save them. And they went to
another village." - Luke 9:51-56
It could be seen that when prompted
by his enraged disciples to pray for fire
to destroy the Samaritans for their slight on him, Jesus Christ rebuked
them. But the professed Christians of
today would readily call for fire to
burn their enemies. God will not
answer such prayers. In the light of
the above, it is also wrong to use the incident in which the prophet Elijah
commanded fire to come from heaven
to destroy or consume two captains
and their bands (2 Kings 1) as basis
for holy ghost fire prayers. The
incident was an isolated one in the ministry of the prophet and should not
be applied in this time of grace. - John
1:17; 2 Corinthians 3:17.
Jesus Christ during his sermon on the
mount exhorted: "Ye have heard that it
hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy. But
I say unto you, Love your enemies,
bless them that curse you, do good to
them that hate you, and pray for them
which despitefully use you, and
persecute you; That ye may be the children of your Father which is in
heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise
on the evil and on the good, and
sendeth rain on the just and on the
unjust. For if ye love them which love
you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same? And if ye
salute your brethren only, what do ye
more than others? do not even the
publicans so? Be ye therefore perfect,
even as your Father which is in heaven
is perfect." - Matthew 5:43-48. See also Luke 6:27,28. Manner of Prayer
The Bible says that by their fruits ye
shall know them. (Matthew 7:16,20) It
is noteworthy that in the course of
prayers, some Christians today behave
like the worshippers of Baal in their encounter with Elijah as described in 1
Kings 18. They scream or shout
repeatedly at the top of their voices;
they engage in outlandish gestures
like vigorously waving their hands,
stamping their feet, rolling on the floor, pounding the wall with their
hands; running helter-skelter, uttering
incomprehensible sounds in the name
of speaking in tongues and so on.
These are not the manifestations of the
spirit of God which is "first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be
intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without
partiality, and without
hypocrisy." (James 3:17) The spirit of
God does not operate in such a way
that the person will lose control of himself and behave in a wild manner
for, the spirit of the prophet is "subject
to the prophets." - 1 Corinthians 14:32

Would've loved to say more but you've hit the nail on its head.
Little addition is that Ghost or its teaching is unbiblical and has a lot to do with demonism which true christians should steer clear of. Holy Spirit is associated with Godly deeds and refreshing to those who has it but never heard or read that its violent or killing tool.
While fire as figuratively used connotes a lot of meaning like powerful force, cleaning agent etc but not the denotative burning fire like that of prophet Elijah of old. The model prayer taught us by Christ Jesus at Matthew 6 v9-13 is the best that a Christian can follow.
Would've love to cite some scriptures for our more understanding but as I've said before that your write up is ok

PianoWizard:
calm down bro,, there is holy ghost fire and there is the fire of God. The holy ghost fire does not torment, it purifies a person and drives away evil spirit in a person. The purpose of the holy ghost fire is for deliverance and purification not to kill a person.

it is the fire of God that torments a person, like the fire in hell.

this is the only guy that have spoken well, the rest are just saying what they don't know.

.

it is simply an imitation of yoruba traditinal religious deity, Sango, the god that answers with fire.

FaithZion2:
This is false belief, nothing like Holy Ghost fire consume, kill, the Holy Ghost / Spirit I know is peaceful not violative, once it comes upon someone u feel, peace, joy, happiness, etc.........so they should find better things to do than deceiving themselves..........

and what those the demon inside that person feel?

The issue of the Holy Spirit is not the only concept misinterpreted by you so-called Christians. Mtcheew.

Buha

Op,

I understand that the almighty God has fire as an undeniable attribute, however, I only read fire from heaven do a mighty thing, that is CONSUME.

The fire consumed offering and God's adversary (Satan and allies) In fact in Elijah days the fire from heaven demonstrated clearly the supremacy of Yahweh.

I can comfortably say the fire of God manifested during warfare.

In Jesus era, some Apostles pleaded with him to permit them call down fire from heaven to destroy that city that prevented them pass through it, but Jesus never obliged it.

Jesus preached forgiveness of our enemies, turning the other cheek, loving one another, being compassionate like our heavenly father etc he demonstrated same by dying and saving the world who not only hated him, but killed him.

St Paul hinted us again that that same fire of God has another role it plays which is to purge away sins.

I can conclude that the fire of God (fire from heaven) is biblical but its role must be understood.

I understand the fire of God to be used in warfare to pull down the kingdom of Satan but never understood it to be used in consuming humans who may not entirely agree with you (enemy as they may be erroneously termed)

Those aforesaid humans are those Jesus asks us to love, wish good and pray for not burn.

I don't so

Saintsammurai:
IF GOD can send down fire from heaven because Elijah asked of it,, what makes you think he cant send down spiritual fire, when the children of GOD ask for it? Afterall it is written in the scriptures that when we ask, we shall receive..

so why not burn sambisa

Somewhere in the Psalms, the Bible says that, " God sits on His throne, a fire goeth before Him and consume His enemies roundabout ".

So, Holy Ghost fire does exists.

There is nothing Christian in it.

It has nothing to do with mercy or forgiveness or Christ or the God of the Bible.

If God were to mark sins, who would stand?

The Holy Ghost Fire is meant to fight the unseen evil forces that makes people do bad things, not the bad person . We are commanded by the Lord to forgive our enemies and also to pray for them, not against them.

MFM uses fire not holy ghost fire. Get your facts right

NO, In the first place the term Holy Ghost is not Biblical, but Holy spirit is correct. The Holy Spirit is God's active force, that is the force he used in the creation of things, of which operates in his heavenly creatures according to the measure he want it to be operated in them or according to their ranks. Also, he gives his measure of Holy Spirit to faithful humans here, who struggle to live by his Divine standard, and the measure of this spirit he gives humans is quite different from the one that operate in the angels, because they were fully created in that form. Time taken by an angel from heaven to the earth may not be up to a minute, because it may be disappear and appear. But, note that the distance from the sun to the earth is 93 million miles and crossing a star may take 10 qua-trillion miles, meaning if one can be fast like the speed of light, it may take the person more than 100,000 years to cross the distance of a star in the universe. Since we can't see a spirit, then it can never be a ghost, because a ghost is a seen image but not clear to the eyes,or an apparition.So, using Holy Ghost fire as a prayer on people is very wrong, because is only God and his son that has the only right to condemn an individual, we may condemn one here on earth while in heaven the person is not condemned,we allow everything for the final judge of the earth. Even in the second coming of Jesus Christ, God may not even use fire to destroy the wicked , as Jeremiah 25:31-33, states that those destroyed by God will be on the ground from one end of the earth to another, they will not be buried, as manure in the surface of the ground they would be. That same Jeremiah 7:21 states that God condemn the burning of children, will this burning not affect earths ecology as God's plan for the earth remains forever and to be inhabited, as Isaiah 45:18 says?

jerrywill:

We are talking about the Holy Spirit in person here...they called down fire and not the 'fire of the Holy Ghost'

why was the Holy Spirit sent to us? to consume enemies with his fire I guess

When you're facing powers of darkness you will know that fire exists.

Heard a testimony of how spiritual ritualists where going to kill mother and son. the small boy said HOLY GHOST FIRE! and God RESPONDED, because the GROUND CAUGHT FIRE.

IT IS NOT BIBLICAL.

What are they praying 4 the fire to do? Is it to fill there life? or to comsume there enemies?
