Heya Jon!

Too. Funny .
My take on this is that labeling someone as anointed might be easier for church-going people. How do you think we should “measure” ?anoint-ment (is there such a word? ) to people who’s ministry is house church. No big sermons or worship song services?…

I’m anointed with 10W30 every time I change my oil.

We are all anointed.

But only *some* of us are truly annoying.

Yes, laprez, you are right. Thank you for that reference!

Our common usage of the term means, “Swank spiritual stud.”

2 Corinthians 1:21-22

21And it is God who establishes us with you in Christ, and(A) has anointed us, 22and who has also(B) put his seal on us and(C) given us his Spirit in our hearts as a guarantee.

annointing means"a divine enablement to accomplish a divine task;a supernatural empowering to accomplish supernatural goals

to my understanding--we are ALL annointed -as believers- when we were sealed by the Holy Spirit at our new birth
without it our efforts are--just that--our efforts

(who says Beth Moore studies aren't deep?--learned that just last week!!)

Jealousy. That is all it is--pure jealousy. We don't like someone who is well-regarded because deep down inside we wish it was US who was well-regarded.

But I don't think seeing them as worthy of that regard in spite of our jealousy constitutes a definition of anointed.

Can someone post a list of references to "anointing" that doesn't refer to Kings or Messiahs? I want to study to see how the Bible uses that term.

If I were to try to discribe annointing, I would say, when you see them serve, preach, teach and etc., you respond by saying, “There is absolutely no way they could do that on their own. That has to be Jesus!” Or at least, I think that’s what’s in mind when reading Acts 4:13.

Katdish, I also “want to be all non-conformist”. I read/listen to lots of Christian stuff just to disprove how life-changing/paradigm-altering/whatever it is. I have sometimes been surprised. Often, I am not.

Additionally, I once knew a pastor with an incredible wingspan. When he raised his hands during worship, which he did often, you’d better not be too close!

Hmmm. Maybe best for others to identify. Last week I was told by someone they were speaking “by the unction of the Holy Spirit” to justify the outrageous statements they were making. There were absolutely no fruit of the HS anywhere in the conversation. Didn’t sound much like him to me.
