How Does One Report A Pm?

I received one as well. I think a discussion of the issue here with patience is called for. He is assuming that when he asks

"The Lord sent me to ask you to confess...

Do you believe and confess
Jesus art the Christ the Son
of the Living God?

Yes or no?"

 

That this is a magic wand that can be waved to tell if someone is "ok" or not. What I think needs to be done is to patiently instruct this person. Now, I messaged back "yes" (I mean, who cares? Jesus is indeed the Christ, the Son of the living God, King of kings, Lord of lords, the Lamb of God ... who is worthy worthy worthy to be praised!). But he is in DOCTRINAL ERROR and THIS IS THE PROBLEM. I sent a second message that said:

"May I suggest you check peoples profiles before you message them and perhaps study the entire book of 1 John? You might find that some will say "Lord, Lord" and their answer from the Lord will be "Depart from me for I never knew you""

 

Paul tells the sinning Corinthians to examine themselves and John has an entire book about how to know if we and others are saved called 1 John. It takes prayer, bible study, and the Holy Ghost to have spiritual discernment about these things. He may be using this as an initial litmus test and I say "so be it" as long as he doesn't do this repetitively in a pestering way. At least he is trying to be Biblical even though I think he is mistaking a verse to aid identification to THE identifier ... and that is the error in my opinion.
