I hope he learns to save himself.
You can be sure, if I ever have the opportunity, I'll be asking a LOOOOOT of questions. I want to come back with enough stuff to write a freakin' college textbook on the "other side".

One of my all time favorite "prophets" is Edgar Cayce.

Actually, he says that we are ALL, already "saved." We are fine, just the way we are.
It's very confusing.
I"m having a hard time with that. I really don't want to be on the same cloud in Heaven as Hitler or Gingis Khan, ya' know? I have a hard time thinking these people will get away with their evil.

This is 2012 .. not 1500 ... the 'ye' stuff went out a long time ago.
Yes discerning of spirits is a gift. Guess what I"m discerning .... a whole lotta' spiritual pride.
(that's a sin, by the way).

The "Holy Ghost" (which I call the Divine Spark) resides in us all - we are all connected, and we ARE "God" manifested.
FWIW, I was baptized as an infant. Make of it what you will.

Spiritual pride is fine as long as you give Glory to The Lord
PRIDE in any form and in anybody is a dangerous thing. In a worldly way the proverb is well attested, "Pride goeth before destruction and a haughty spirit before a fall"; and surely very, very few people have anything of which they might justly be proud! Some who hold their heads high with the pride of a haughty spirit, as though they were especially created out of some preferable "dust of the earth," have really nothing to boast of as to ancestry. A very few generations back are generally sufficient for any boaster.
The world is learning that it is not wise to boast of riches, lest thereby some one ask how were the riches accumulated and by whom, and whether they were honestly obtained. Pride of education is not appropriate, either; for education in general signifies the learning of what other people have found out or have written as history. And in our day those who would boast of great education have need of humility lest it be found that the very thing that they are boasting about has been disproven by later researches. Scientific books of the year 1900 will not pass muster today, nor their theories stand in the light of present knowledge. So if it were right to boast of knowledge, the boaster would need to be very careful to keep up to date.
Pride of one's beauty or physical perfection is scarcely to be excused; for the beauty of form and feature came by heredity, and the parent rather than the child might have some reason for pride. Pride as respects clothing, adornments is also foolish. The maker of the fabrics or the ornaments might have some reason for pride in the handiwork, but surely the wearer has not! He is merely appropriating to himself the skill and labor of others.
SPIRITUAL PRIDE WORST OF ALL
His description of how it all fit together. Like a patchwork whose only theme was convenience.

Um .. no.
That's like saying lust is fine as long as you give glory to the Lord.
For a Christian .. spiritual pride is a bad thing.
For others .. pride is considered healthy.

I would know this better than you, don't you think.
No. He died. His message still stands. Not in vain.
If The Holy Ghost resides in all, then you mean to say that, Jesus died in vain?
Yes you will be connected to God, only when Jesus saves you.
Good to know, you were Baptized as an infant.

Tell me, DID YOU READ THE GUY'S NDE?

Why is it so important to you to have a "monopoly" on salvation? There are BILLIONS of people in the world who don't think "Jesus" is 'the [only] way." For THOUSANDS OF YEARS, that's been the case.

Erm, what?
No, I don't think you would know better than FF; she seems to spend quite a bit of time looking into these things.
Unless you're making it a sexist thing. (Misogynistic). You think women don't feel "lust"???
