Matthew 5:9-12
Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.
Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.
Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.
Matthew 6:14-15

a reply to: arpgme But if you say you must do this thing (a work) to get this thing (salvation) then it is no longer grace .Salvation is by grace ,it is a gift of God , not of works .By grace you have been saved through faith and that not of yourselves it is a gift of God .

If it is too much to read, just read the bold text.
There is a deception going on. The Kundalini Fire Serpent has entered the Church and is masquerading as the Holy Spirit. Christians who get baptized by it unknowingly, say that they feel 'on fire', they do not realize that the The Holy Spirit of God is the Living Water of Forgiveness and Healing.
None of this is from The Heavenly Father.
