I t is important to know that right down through the ages, the battle between good and evil never stop. Every thing that God has, Satan develop a counterfeit for it. The bible told us that there are false prophets, false apostles; false minsters, and false brethren. There is also a counterfeit gospel, being preach next door to the genuine gospel, and a counterfeit conversion. A counterfeit, or Satanic conversion is one and the same. This is when one of Satan's spirits take possession of a person, and fooled them into believing that they are now converted to Christianity. Then Satan give this person special gifts. In time, this person made great damage to the Christians religion, and cause stagnation to the faith of newly converted believers.
2 Cor. 11:4 (KJV) For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him.
2 Cor. 11:13 (KJV) For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. Galatians 2:4 (KJV) And that because of false brethren unawares brought in, who came in privily to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into bondage:
The counterfeit conversion, also carries along with it, counterfeit miracles, such as fake casting out of demons.
Matthew 7:22 (KJV) Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
SIMON HEARD THE GOSPEL AND CAME FORWARDS
Acts 8:9-13 (KJV) But there was a certain man, called Simon, which beforetime in the same city used sorcery, and bewitched the people of Samaria, giving out that himself was some great one: [10] To whom they all gave heed, from the least to the greatest, saying, This man is the great power of God. [11] And to him they had regard, because that of long time he had bewitched them with sorceries. [12] But when they believed Philip preaching the things concerning the kingdom of God, and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women.
A MENTAL BELIEVE
1 John 4:1-2 (KJV) Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. [2] Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God:
Believing in God is no proof that you are justified by faith alone, for even devils believe without justification.
James 2:19 (KJV) Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble.
A person with a fake conversion, has a mental believe, just like what the devils has. Just seeing them in church, you will over look them to be genuine. However, these have a genuinely dislike and hate in them. These uses put downs, and assassinate the character of others.
SIMON ALSO BELIEVE AND WAS BAPTIZED
[13] Then Simon himself believed also: and when he was baptized, he continued with Philip, and wondered, beholding the miracles and signs which were done. Acts 8:18 (KJV) And when Simon saw that through laying on of the apostles' hands the Holy Ghost was given, he offered them money, Acts 8:19 (KJV) Saying, Give me also this power, that on whomsoever I lay hands, he may receive the Holy Ghost.
PETER ASK HIM TO REPENT
Simon believe but did not repent. Therefore, we see that a person can believe but did not repent.
Acts 8:20-21 (KJV) But Peter said unto him, Thy money perish with thee, because thou hast thought that the gift of God may be purchased with money. [21] Thou hast neither part nor lot in this matter: for thy heart is not right in the sight of God.
SIMON BELIEVE, BUT NO CHANGE FOLLOW
Acts 8:22-23 (KJV) Repent therefore of this thy wickedness, and pray God, if perhaps the thought of thine heart may be forgiven thee. [23] For I perceive that thou art in the gall of bitterness, and in the bond of iniquity.
THE GOSPEL IS NOT DESIGN TO MAKE PEOPLE RICH
Satanic converted people who seem to be preaching the gospel, are only doing if for the money. This is no secret, it is plain to see.
2 Kings 5:26-27 (KJV) And he said unto him, Went not mine heart with thee, when the man turned again from his chariot to meet thee? Is it a time to receive money, and to receive garments, and olive yards, and vineyards, and sheep, and oxen, and menservants, and maidservants? [27] The leprosy therefore of Naaman shall cleave unto thee, and unto thy seed for ever. And he went out from his presence a leper as white as snow.
SATAN'S COUNTERFEIT OF THE HOLY SPIRIT
Acts 16:16-23 (NKJV) Now it happened, as we went to prayer, that a certain slave girl possessed with a spirit of divination met us, who brought her masters much profit by fortune-telling. 17 This girl followed Paul and us, and cried out, saying, "These men are the servants of the Most High God, who proclaim to us the way of salvation." 18 And this she did for many days. But Paul, greatly annoyed, turned and said to the spirit, "I command you in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her." And he came out that very hour. 19 But when her masters saw that their hope of profit was gone, they seized Paul and Silas and dragged them into the marketplace to the authorities. 20 And they brought them to the magistrates, and said, "These men, being Jews, exceedingly trouble our city; 21 and they teach customs which are not lawful for us, being Romans, to receive or observe." 22 Then the multitude rose up together against them; and the magistrates tore off their clothes and commanded them to be beaten with rods. 23 And when they had laid many stripes on them, they threw them into prison, commanding the jailer to keep them securely.
SATAN HAS LEARNED A NEW TRICK SINCE 1 JOHN 4 WAS WRITTEN
1 John 4:1-2 (KJV) Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. [2] Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God:
Don’t you see that even hate groups are hiding themselves under the banner of the Christians church? Do you think they come in saying jesus is not come in the flesh? They are all saying that now.
Many Christians do not realized that this same spirit is working in some churches today and is getting away with it. How can a man preach the gospel for some nineteen years then suddenly got up one day and say “ The whole bible stuff is false” You mean it take him nineteen years to find out that? Can any body be so dumb? The reason, this person was led by a religious demons, and has a Satanic conversion, which is quite similar to born again experience. The difference between a Satanic conversion and genuine Holy Spirit conversion, it this. “Empathy” The genuine converted person has empathy. The Satanic one has all the gifts of the spirit, but no human feelings.
1 John 4:20 (NKJV) If someone says, "I love God," and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen, how can he love God whom he has not seen?
No born again person can be a racist. No born again person can be prejudice, for long. Once the love of God is shed abroad in your heart, it melts away all this foolish stuff.
HOLY SPIRIT TAKE THE LOVE OF GOD AND PUT IT IN HIS PEOPLE HEARTS
Romans 5:5 (KJV) And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.
2 Cor 13:5 (NKJV) Examine yourselves as to whether you are in the faith. Test yourselves. Do you not know yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you?--unless indeed you are disqualified
A SELF DISPLAYING SPIRIT
1 Cor. 14:40 (KJV) Let all things be done decently and in order.
1 Cor. 14:33 (KJV) For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.
Watch a self-displaying spirit, and a spirit that causes tension. This is a demons straight from the pit of hell. If it is not in order, it is not of God.
Sometime Only Jesus Can Help Us
Acts 4:12 (KJV)Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.
Romans 5:6 (KJV) For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. Romans 5:7 (KJV) For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die. Romans 5:8 (KJV) But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Romans 5:9 (KJV) Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him. Romans 5:10 (KJV) For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life. Romans 5:11 (KJV) And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement.
Matthew 6:33-AV But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
Isaiah 55:6-AV Seek ye the LORD while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near: Isaiah 55:7-AV Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.
