So how are imperfect beings supposed to some how know perfect judgement enough to know how to judge people on spiritual things such as preaching? For the judgement unto itself becomes imperfect because we do not have the knowledge of God on these issues. So to what knowledge do we judge? It's not knowledge, but our own opinions which is a form of gossip.
People judge other people from the outside, and how does God judge? From within, correct? This is why we are supposed to look for God's approval through blessings and gifts of power. For even Christ said:
mk 9:39 But Jesus said, Forbid him not: for there is no man which shall do a miracle in my name, that can lightly speak evil of me.
Does Christ lie? So if Joyce prays for someone in Christ's name, and they become healed. the power to heal comes through Christ. And Joyce cannot even lightly speak evil of christ and do these things, or did Christ lie about this? Let's do this a different way.
Mark 9:38 And John answered him, saying, Master, we saw one casting out devils in thy name, and he followeth not us: and we forbad him, because he followeth not us.
39 But Jesus said, Forbid him not: for there is no man which shall do a miracle in my name, that can lightly speak evil of me.
40 For he that is not against us is on our part.
So let us apply this to the one who we judge on this thread.
And I came to Christ saying: Master I saw Joyce casting out devils in thy name, and she does not believe like we do, so we forbad her because she does not follow our doctrine completely.
But Jesus said: Forbid her not: For there is no man which shall do a miracle in my name, that can lightly speak evil of me.
For he that is not against us is for us.
Now some might say that those verses only refer to the male gender so it does not apply to Joyce. But you would be wrong.
1) Woman was made from the man's flesh.
2) God considers man and woman one flesh when married.
This is even more confirmed in the book of Job. When Satan ask to do more to Job, and God laid out the rules and said that Satan could not kill Job. But yet Satan killed his whole family except his wife. Now why was the wife spared when the wife was not even mentioned as one that Satan could not touch? Here again it is because they are one flesh in marraige so the rule that applied to Job, also applied to his wife. So when God said that Satan could not kill Job, it also applied to his wife, and Satan knew this.
So if marraige is mentioned, the the word man applies also to the woman because they are of one flesh.
