Maybe the Holy Spirit ministers in the faithful as the Church. . Maybe the Holy Spirit ministers in the schools of theology. Maybe the Holy Spirit ministers through the prophets. Maybe the Holy Spirit ministers trough prayers and fellowship.
Maybe the Holy Spirit cares that you are cleaned up from your once sloppiness in your fellowship.and again that you sometimes come as you are sloppy and untidy, talk your ear off and cryptic in dialogue even.
I think that the Holy Spirit ministering through the faithful in organization and in individuals regards the problems of the Church these days requires plain unmuddied dialogues. The people looking for answers want fish not snake. I think Semper is right on this. However the prophets and seers, the confused and the eccentric should be left to explore their dreams and their witness just as those stuck to doctrine or those defining their faith by their calling. All should be permitted a place at the Lord's tables.
So maybe a forum needs specific directives and additional heading regards differing fellowship. I know that some forums disallow personal revelation for example.
B, White's statement that a lot of man-centered problems require a Holy Ghost solution is something everyone should pay attention to, but alot of posts on the forum are not from a perspective of a solution looking for a problem it is just about sharing our lives in Christ and those lives are accompanied by many doctrines, different personalities and differing histories.. Maybe. In my case maybe I make the mistake of familiarity with individual forum contributors at the expense of those who would rather come to the forums more guarded. If someone is looking for a place of anchor for their faith in the Church, my testimony and waxing on love as if it was first nature to me is not an answer. And I could and would pass as a know it all of no use to the problems of the real world.
