You're dodging and weaving, which is typical either of someone who is not saved at all, but has learned some fancy lingo, or of someone who wants to play silly games.

Jesus is God. He was prophesied, came in the flesh by virgin birth, was empowered by the Holy Spirit, taught, healed, cast out demons, performed many miracles, and testified to the kingdom of God. He was crucified, died, and was buried. He rose again to life on the third day, and ascended to the Father. He will come again to judge the living and the dead.

He paid the penalty for your sin. If you accept this by faith, you are saved. If not, you are not saved.
I know you not. I know Jesus my brother. He speaks to me everyday. I think you are funny.

Do you believe that Jesus died to pay the penalty for your sin? Do you believe that He rose from the dead?

The real question as I see it is: Can the Holy Spirit still produce miraculous signs and wonders today? My answer is a resounding—YES! Of course He can.

But in my experience, all so-called signs and wonders are manufactured and not authentic. If I ever saw a true miracle I might change my mind; but as far as I'm concerned, God isn't doing miraculous signs and wonders right now. This could change tomorrow though.

What we're seeing now are lying signs and wonders.
So you have witnessed every sign and wonder all over the earth? And what to you qualifies as a sign or a wonder?

Having said that, I agree that much of what is called "Holy Spirit" is either manufactured or, more often, occult. Satan has no problem counterfeiting miracles. He cannot counterfeit fruit. A group of us observed the "Toronto Blessing" for about a year. The manifestations were real enough, but the source was satanic, not the Holy Spirit.

1. Yes
2. No
3. No.
The gifts of the Holy Ghost
come from the Holy Ghost.
I have the Holy Ghost
therefore I have all the gifts of the Holy Ghost.
For the Holy Ghost has all the the gifts of the Holy Ghost
because it is the Holy Ghost.

I am looking for some personal testimony for those who sought a gift of the Spirit
I asked the Lord for the Spirit of wisdom and revelation. I have it. God also gives according to His will. I was in a meeting where we were about to go our separate ways, in opposite directions. We had about 1,000 km to go. Two brothers were going by motorbike. One was unable to move due to a toothache of the worst kind.

One brother said that we should pray for him. In my heart (not out loud) I said that God does not heal teeth. The Lord said to me, "Yes I do!" I sensed the anointing come over me and I said that I was going to pray. The man was healed instantly. It was a gift of healing just for that moment. I've not had the same experience again and that was over 40 years ago.

I believe that God heals and I've prayed for the sick. But God's gift was in response to my doubt and unbelief. Now that is grace!
