Hi fe32k,

I found a few emails that I think will help with your question.

Dear Linda:

    Everyone knows and it has been custom since the beginning of the world, that one bows and faces the King. Falling over backward in the presence of the King would be the height of insult and disrespect!  No one but Satan would come up with such a shamefull exhibition of the carnal flesh. THERE ARE NO SCRIPTURES in this shameful insult of modern ministers. God has nowhere ordained any such wierd and bizarre nonsense.

    God be with you,
    Ray

Dear Lisa:
The answer to your question on languages/tongues is found in I Cor. 14:22--"Wherefore languages/tongues are for a sign, NOT to them that believe, but to them THAT BELIEVE NOT...."
There is your answer. The Church uses "speaking in tongues" as a SIGN UNTO THEMSELVES, at their own meetings where they are not in the company of strangers who do not believe, for the most part. Now then, Lisa, if as you suggest these languages/tongues were something other than REAL LANGUAGES used by real people on this earth, then how, pray tell, could the be a "SIGN" to the to those who "believe not?"  Would they believe that some "mumbo jumbo" tongue was a miracle from God?  NO!  But if someone not knowing any foreign languages could speak to those of a foreign language IN THEIR OWN LANGUAGE, then it would serve as a "SIGN" from God. But none of the congregation would benefit from it unless there was someone TO INTERPRET for their "edification, exhortation, and comfort" (Ver. 3).

God be with you,
Ray

Oh Latrice, wild horses couldn't keep me from responding.  You say that you spoke in languages that not even you could recognize.  I'll bet you did, too.  And there is a spiritual source for such gibberish. I try to stay clear of such spirits.  Maybe it's just me, Latrice, but I thought that I detected maybe just the slightest little "haughty spirit" in your email. Hopefully you will have only a "small fall." And thank you for all that encouragment about being deceived and going to hell and all.

Sincerely, (partially)
Ray

Hi Kat,
From that last email that you quoted from Ray, it seems I should tell my wife she was possessed or influenced by an evil spirit. This only happened once, and it was really the begginning of the end for me and my relationship with Babylon, so maybe it was a good thing. My wife was not just sitting there and then suddenly fell into a trance and began to shake. She was praising God! She was saying the words Glory to God, over and over again and then it happened. That this may have been an influence from an evil spirit has been my only logical explanation for her, but it is hard for one to admit to such things especially when praising God. Unfortunately my wife is not as interested in the word of God since we left church and telling her that her experience was not of God did not help. It makes me wonder if maybe I made a rash decision and should have maybe made it a more gradual separation. To me this stuff is just wierd. I guess it will all make sense in the end.

Hi Roy the following came to mind when I read your post;

Mat 6:7  But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.

His Peace to you,

Joe

fe32k:
haha thanks Joe,
Very true. Clearly God is not a prayer machine. Thanks for the reminder.

God be with you,
Roy

Deborah-Leigh:

God in His Infinite Wisdom knew exactly which button to press to drag both you and your wife out of Babylon!  Not a moment too soon or too fast either.   :)  Exactly in His Timing not yours! ;D

That's all you need to understand I believe and now you know what to study. Bible Truths and sensible, Godly, founded on the Word of God Ray Smith teachings! What a blessing. God knew how to get your attention and get you out of Babylon!

Peace to you

Arcturus :)
