It is the proclamation of the Gospel, not argumentation, that transforms minds. See Give Them the Gospel.
There are three sources of power and revelation
There are three sources or spirits to which humanity looks:
- Human
- Demonic
- God's Spirit (the Holy Spirit).
Those who look to the demonic or human usually are comfortable with some or all of the following: materialism, Naturalism, uniformitarianism, evolutionism, abortion, religions based on human goodness, liberalism, perversion, promiscuity, seances, ouija boards, tarot cards, fortune tellers, witches, spirit guides, new age techniques, Transcendental Meditation, spiritualism.
That list is not comprehensive.
There are thousands of occult organizations and each occult organization has many dogmas and many techniques. Most of the techniques are simply ways of conjuring demons.
Since the fall of Adam, there has not been much difference, except in power, between what proceeds from demons and what proceeds from the human mind. The human mind is deceitful and desperately wicked to the point that we can't even know our own minds.
In Christ, we have the Holy Spirit available to us. We were able to believe and have faith in Jesus only because the Holy Spirit moved on us and the Father drew us. The Bible gives us much information about the Holy Spirit and all that the Holy Spirit gives to us. The Holy Spirit is in direct opposition to those things that proceed from the carnal mind and from demons.
