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.. 1 Like |

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.

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. |
Re: Is Holy Ghost Fire Prayer Biblical? by ssogundele(m): 9:13am On Sep 17, 2017 |
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 1 Like |

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. |

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. |

Re: Is Holy Ghost Fire Prayer Biblical? by Jjohnson777: 1:19pm On Sep 17, 2017 |
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? |
