Vocations are easy when you get dreams and visions or pray in tongues.

Ryan laStrange on its supernatural with sid.Roth.
A fellow student i know. Shared a experience. That was normal at the christian bible college
I met many people with similar spiritual experiences.

How about you ??

I’m not sure if I trust anything from Sid Roth, but what does he define as speaking in tongues?
 
I personally wouldn’t accept a vocation who reported such unless they were working with a local spiritual director and the revelations were judged to be of God. “Test all visions and keep that which is good.” And the first test would be whether the recipient had the humility to tolerate criticism.

Therefore, I keep such things to myself, and work on humility.

Spiritual confirmation for Vocations occurs often in christian bible colleges.

An interesting testomony is
john paul jackson.
But i have met many people with experiences that confirmed gods call on their life.
 
Having attended 5 Christian bible colleges it was informative to see the difference

Some times as saint Paul said to Timothy. Advoid those who have a form of religion. Lacking the power of the spirit
 
The good trait of non catholics. Is they are often prophetic. Where Catholics do not have that spiritual gift.
 
What do you base this upon?
The Charismatic movement among Catholics is alive and growing, and I Have seen it for myself. To say that Catholics are not alive in the spirit is absurd broad-brush painting, and something that prevents the unity that Christ desires.

With all due respect, I disagree with your assessment of Catholics. You don’t know who has that gift and who doesn’t. Nor do you know the church that person belongs to unless they tell you. You merely assume that only non-Catholics have the gift of prophecy.
 
In my family of Catholics. When the holy spirit. Tells to go to a Christian bible college. The catholics attack you and make it difficult
 
Assume is an incorrect evaluation. As fr. John harden . taught and described in his teaching on “mystics” or visions and visionaries.
He couldn’t locate catholic mystics who are alive. NoR could he identity .visionaries.
And he is viewed as a great teacher?
 
But you are not Catholic–or so your profile says. This is not really a place to come to try to persuade Catholics that they are wrong. This is, as you must know from its name, a CATHOLIC site. Non-Catholics, as I understand it, are more than welcome, but they must be polite and respectful, not making claims about Catholics that are both argumentative and incorrect. Bless you if you are enriched by your Evangelical faith, but most of us here are quite happy to be Catholic and don’t come here to be lectured to by those critical of our Church.
 
Hmm I went to a Catholic charasmetic retreat last month. It isn’t a strong fellowship.
Raising your hands as you pray and worship. is explained as normal. So people don’t feel weird. And praying in tongues. Is explained as normal also.
Elementary teaching’s
 
That’s because you must test the spirits.

How does the Holy Spirit manifest your desire to go to a specific college? A feeling? If so, there’s nothing in the Bible or in the whole thousands of years of traditions which state to follow your feelings which are often irrational.

Maybe those are normal for Charismatic Catholics. But that doesn’t mean it’s normal for all Catholics. This alleged speaking/praying in tongues is more Pentecostal than Catholic. (See Marjoe Gortner who showed how it’s done.) But you assume, yes, I used that word again because that it is what you are doing and trying to make yourselves seem more “special” than Catholics, that because many Catholics don’t speak or pray in tongues that we do not have gifts of the Holy Spirit.

One difference between Protestants and Catholics is that Catholics don’t feel the need to speak of the gifts we are given whereas Protestants do. During my time in Protestant churches, I was able to spot the fakers the moment I saw them. And it didn’t take visions, dreams or praying in tongues to do it.

Have you tried testing the spirits as it says in the Bible? How do you know it was the Holy Spirit telling you to go to a “Christian bible college”? How many un-Christian Bible colleges did you apply to? You most likely had your heart set on a college and went to it after doing your research of what it taught, how much it cost, etc.

Your opinion is that “the catholics attack you and make it difficult.” How do they attack you and make it difficult for you to go to the college of your choice? Catholics don’t make the choice of where you are going to college. The person going to the college, in this case, you, has the final say.
 
Feeling? . no way.
Its what saint paul describes.
or And what’s in 1cor.14:25-26
  1. A revelation
    2 a tongue and interpretation
    3 a word
    4 a hym or psalm
    5 a dream a vision
One of my teachers john Paul Jackson
Has an interesting testimony. On how God called him in to ministry.
But he was a Evangelical.

You certainly are entitled to your opinion.

You might read the teachings of
fr john harded.and his understanding. of the spiritual
1.mystics. Visions and Visionary
2 Pentecostal
3 Charismatic.

He had to reach back in time to review
  1. st john of the cross
  2. Terrisa of Avelia
To justify his understanding of the supernatural.
