The fruit of the Spirit is self control, not being out of control

Here is a video showing some of the bizarre things that can happen when “strange fire” is allowed to predominate in a service.

As I read the Scriptures, the fruit of the Spirit of SELF-CONTROL, not being out of control. See Galatians 5:22,23. Its a shame when the presence of something spiritual is more valued than the actual fruit of the Holy Spirit such as self-control.

It is to be hoped that Christians still believe the Scriptures are a more reliable guide to truth and discernment than the pronouncements of those at the top of ecclesiastical hierarchies.

We are living in very dangerous times. Personally, I would be very wary of spirituality and “anointed people” whose message relates little to the cross of Christ, or to repentance from dead works. I don’t trust any “anointing” that comes on people regardless of their heart condition before God, especially if it doesn’t lead to repentance.
