The two key concepts required to hypnotize anyone is the belief that the hypnotist can hypnotize, and a submissive, suggestive personality or disposition at the time. Hypnosis is seen to day with charismatics and pentecostals who are "slain in the spirit" by the "powerful man of God".

454: The Interactive Bible:
Is Doctrine Important? Yes, according to the Bible, it is very important! Jesus said, "My doctrine is not mine, but His that sent me" John 7:16. The Apostle Paul said: mark them which cause divisions and offenses contrary to the doctrine which you have learned; and avoid them" Romans 16:17. In writing to a preacher, young Timothy, the Apostle Paul said it even more forcefully when he cautioned, "Take heed to thyself, and unto the doctrine; continue in them: for in doing this thou shalt both ... In the Bible, the doctrine of Christ includes his virgin birth, his miracles, his death, burial and resurrection, and ascension to the right hand of God. However, there are other things that are important which are in the doctrine of Christ. They include his church, worship, repentance, baptism, the Holy Spirit, the Lord's Supper, right living, and his second coming as well as others. Sometimes there is a tendency to emphasize Christian living and neglect Christian doctrine. This we must not do. ... ...

456: Lesson 23: Summary of Worshipping in Spirit and Truth
Summary of Worshipping in Spirit and Truth The purpose of our worship is to glorify God. Our worship to God is very important. If we expect to please God, so we can go to heaven when this life is over, we "must worship Him in spirit and in truth." Worship requires that we be an active participant and not a spectator. We must not pervert the worship of God by our being entertained by choirs, concerts, and other entertainment groups. Our worship is to be holy and sacred, because it is God we are suppose to be worshipping. We must approach God with humility and godly fear in showing Him reverence and respect ...

458: Texts Calvinists misuse to prove "Calvinistic Predestination
In times past, it had been a mystery, not fully revealed. Even the prophets did not understand completely about Christ. But now this plan is revealed as the wisdom of God (Eph. 3:3-5; 1 Pet. 1:10-12). This sacrifice was "for our glory" or salvation. It was a part of God's eternal purpose (Eph. 3:8-11). 3. Romans 8:28-30 Who is under consideration here? "those who love God" - not a few whom God loves "the called according to His purpose" - we are not called by a still, mysterious voice or by a direct operation of the Holy Spirit or by God Himself, but by the gospel (2 Thess. 2:14). Those who hear, believe and respond in obedience are referred to as "the called" (Gal. 1:6; 1 Pet. 2:9). In Romans 8:29-30, we can see the unfolding of God's plan. God determined to send mankind a Savior to die for all men. He foreordained all of the events before they actually took place. In that sense, God predestinated our salvation. It wax not that He selected us individually to be saved or lost, but that ... ...

461: Mormonism: God had sex with Mary to conceive Jesus
... God the Father is a perfected, glorified, holy Man, an immortal Personage. And Christ was born into the world as the literal Son of this Holy Being; he was born in the same personal, real, and literal sense that any mortal son is born to a mortal father. There is nothing figurative about his paternity; he was begotten, conceived and born in the normal and natural course of events, for he is the Son of God, and that designation means what it says.

And the Son is a Son is a Son; he is not some transient emanation from a divine essence, but a literal, living offspring of an actual Father. God is the Father; Christ is the Son. The ... ...

468: Have you been Baptized with The Wrong Baptism?
... Now, look at question three: Why should one be baptized? It is good to acknowledge the simple answer given by Peter, a messenger of Jesus, when heart stricken sinners cried, "What shall we do?". He answered, "Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost". (These impressive words are found in the book of Acts, Chapter 2, verse 38.) To obtain the remission or forgiveness of sins, one must repent and be baptized. If a sinner does not repent, he won't be saved; if a sinner is not baptized, he won't be saved. You are now in a position to examine your own baptism. By comparing your baptism with what the Lord teaches in the Bible you can determine if you take the question: What is baptism? Again, the Bible is clear. Paul, one of Christ's authorized spokesmen, wrote a letter to the church in ancient Rome, the sixth book of the New Testament, commonly called Romans. In it he said, "Therefore we ... ...

Moreover, other professed Christians condone the practice if "they really care for one another".

But because man is fallen, the institution of private property, like all God-ordained institutions, has been much abused (Ephesians 5:5).

476: Overview Of Correspondence Course Work
Perhaps other writers will discuss additional objectives. For me, a correspondence course program stands or falls on the basis of getting one-on-one studies. To accomplish this, I begin by getting the student to make the least form of commitment merely sending in their name. As they progress through the course lesson by lesson, they become more comfortable with you. Up to this point, they have enjoyed the cloak of anonymity that the mail service provides. (Remember that without that cloak, ... Many of them are excellent for establishing new Christians. But for reaching the lost, most are either too expensive, contain too many lessons, are too milky (lack any real substance that will interest the average seeker), or are too meaty (discussing instrumental music, the holy spirit, etc.). Because of my objective, I have written a four-lesson series called BIBLE COURSE . I believe a correspondence course should create a desire in the student to study one-on-one, which otherwise would not have ... ...

477: Why is Christianity the only true world Religion?
... Deuteronomy 18:15. Micah said he would be born in Bethlehem - Micah 5:2. The entire 53rd Chapter of Isaiah describes him as God's suffering servant, sent out from the Lord to redeem mankind from sins. Joseph was told, "And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name Jesus: for he shall save his people from their sins." Matthew 1:21. This puts Christianity into a category all to itself. When Jesus was born, numerous forces and factors converged on this event to confirm the message of the prophets. Ma ry, his mother, was reminded by an angel that her conception was divinely authorized. Read Luke 1:26-35. Joseph, who was engaged to Mary, was informed by the angel that her conception was of the Holy Spirit - Matthew 1:20. The angels announced his birth to the shepherds Luke 2:5-11. John the baptizer was commissioned to prepare the way for Jesus. Read John 1:23-34. Jesus immediately affirmed His divine nature. He said He had come down from heaven to do the Father's will - ... ...

480: Official creed of the Unity/Unitarian Church
... Others regard baptism as symbolic; they simply sprinkle drops of water on the person. Most Unity practitioners do neither. We note that Jesus never made baptism a requirement for others during his ministry; and so, we do not have a formal baptism sacrament. Rather we encourage every believer to attain a Spiritual Baptism which is a deeply personal event, a cleansing "prayer experience with Spirit, an ultimate dialogue between an individual and God." The individual emerges purified, having experienced a religious conversion of great intensity. Communion: There has been much controversy over the meaning, details, and purpose of the rite of Holy Communion (the Lord's Supper) within Christian Churches. Most Unity ministers do not have a formal ritual. We recall the words of St. Paul "The Kingdom of God is not foodand drink but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit". Communion becomes a close encounter with God in private prayer, in which one becomes aware of the impact that ... ...

It was not normal to live together or have sex when betrothed, giving powerful evidence that the reference is to sex, not co-habitation.
