You can't go higher than Jesus lest you act like satan..."i will ascend to be like the Most High".

Isaiah 14:14-15 KJVS
[14] I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High. [15] Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit.

I am afraid you misunderstand the Godhead.

The HS does not point to himself or any other.

He points MEN to Jesus.

So,factor that in and see that I am not referring anyone to Satan.

How can you hope to muddy up the power?

A powerless Jesus?

Remove the HS?

Claim the HS is Satan?

Well there are literally hundreds of examples.

Where in the world do you hang out?

To take that position,you would need about a fourth of the Bible edited or just removed

Hundreds of examples of what?

Where I "hang out" is irrelevent.

To take what position? What part of the Bible have I edited or removed?

I wonder what would happen if the cessationist dared to read the dreaded power verses.

They would either get extremely angry at those disenfranchised "teachers",or revival would break out.

Maybe both!!!

I wonder what would happen if the theologians of glory would read the dreaded 'pick up your cross and follow me' verses.

no , your desires are in line with satans...more Power!
 
I think what is causing some confusion is FEAR.

Some are taught the whole of salvation is the cross.

(no resurrection,or power for walk and ministry)

You can't invoke "the early church",or church fathers,or the bible.

Bizarre.

So,you claim all power,comes from Satan?

Satan is the source of power?

If there is any power,it must come from Satan?

You are not only duped,but you attribute the power of the Holy Spirit to Satan.
 
Jesus said concerning the unpardonable sin

"... But because you say he doeth it by Satan,your sins cannot be forgiven"
 
" You will receive power after the Holy Spirit is come on you,and ye shall be my witnesses."

"...but tarry in Jerusalem until you are ensued with power."

"and many miracles were done AT THE HANDS OF THE APOSTLES"

Paul,Who actively pursued the gifts,and encouraged others TO DESIRE THEM,spoke in tongues more than anyone,and was so DESIROUS OF THE POWER,that he said "I will be behind in no gift"
 
Bottom line

Cessationist "power" only exists through editing/omitting the word of God.

They absolutely do not know their bible.

Gods power is not something that exists apart from Himself.
 
By what spirit does the cessationist call the Holy Spirit satan?

Call Christians satan?

Nor did Elisha and Elijah operate apart from God.

Nor did the day of Pentecost come from somewhere other than heaven.

Why would you entertain something like that?
 
Are you guys thinking Jesus is still on the cross?

There is no such thing as the Holy Ghost?

The believer has zero power?

We're not called to display power, we're called to die daily to ourselves that His power may work in us.
 
It appears the cessationist believe the power and Jesus are two opposing forces.

That the highest ground is rejecting power and attributing it to satan.

If that concept is not in the Word,which it isn't,them where did it come from?

You take a single dimension,dying,and make it the whole picture.

Baking a cake with ONLY flour.

The REASON you do that,is you WILL NOT STUDY.

You have exposed yourself to a single dimension,the cross.

That is why you see through a death prism.

You seem to be full of assumptions about others.
You fail to grasp the concept that when we are weak, He is made strong.
