If anyone expects ANY woman with a sword to be charming, you'd be expecting too much, LOL!

Pentecostalism causes people to see the miraculous under rock, while making them blind to the foolishness of their own line of reasoning.
Why would I look under a rock? I'd be scared I'd find a certain CC member under it!
Still, maybe I would, just so I could unplug his computer.:LOL::giggle:
 
Well, if how you have treated me is obeying John 13:35, Rom. 5:5 and Eph. 3:16-19,
I would hate to experience you disobeying GW!

I'm sorry, but with you I'm just challenging what comes out of your mouth.

John 13:35 By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.

Since JESUS disciples were baptized in JESUS name and HE filled them with HIS SPIRIT and they spoke in tongues.

If you have not been baptized in JESUS name and JESUS has not filled you with the Holy Ghost why would you think you are one of HIS disciples?


Romans 5:5 And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.

If you have the Holy Ghost you would LOVE JESUS and not taint HIS word.

My love for HIM is sharing HIS word and keeping my oppinoni out of it.



Ephesians 3:16-19
16 That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man;
17 That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love,
18 May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height;
19 And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.

If I didn't love YOU I would not challenge you to back up your words. IT'S NOT ABOUT ME!!!

Do you call love letting someone going down the wrong road and not tell them they need to repent? Is that love?

I call you judging millions of Christians to be liars because they disagree with your views pride and borderline insanity.

If you won’t agree with the majority, at least disagree agreeably.

That is the prayer of Jesus.

So there is this friend of mine who got into a car accident and was in the er his body was severely damaged this happened two weeks ago and I prayed for him for three hours and then the next day he said a miracle happened he is gone from limping and needing a wheelchair to dancing around and praising God.

Is this not the healing power of God? I have never seen this happen before but he should not be in any shape to be out of bed let alone dancing and praising

So do the gifts still remin today? I can certainly attest to it yes
 
I hate to inform you but the Bible does not cover current events.

What do you mean the Bible doesn't cover current events?

Don't the prophecies that came to pass after Jesus ascended count? Like the prophecy about Israel becoming a nation again? In one day?

And all the prophecies that have yet to come to pass? Maybe some of them will do in our lifetime/generation.

Things like this don't happen to Christians who don't believe in miracles. But God is so good to heal your friend!


🥳
 
Thank you brother Blain! Yes indeed He is doing as He said He would and always will,
bless you brother!

Yes you are correct if one doesn't believe how can they receive? and perhaps they do not believe because they have not seen it but isn't that the essence of faith? to believe even though you have not seen, to believe because of who God is not what you think he is or is not and to have faith in the spirit period.

Those who deny his power or refuse to believe will not see his hand move in this way

Well at the very least some here wanted records or proof of his miraculous healing and I suppose if that is what they want they got it because my friend is a living testimony of it

Hold on bro. You can attest that God granted your prayer request but not that He gave you the gift of healing.
 
"Hate to inform you" the Bible shows He is the same, yesterday, today and forever, all the record we need to know what He did then, He still does.
God did supply manna to the Hebrews and then God did not supply manna to the Hebrews.

Yesterday God did, today He does not.

God is both dynamic and static.
 
8 Charity never faileth: but whether there beprophecies, they shall fail; whether there betongues, they shall cease; whether there beknowledge, it shall vanish away. 9 For we know in part, and we prophesy in part. 10 But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away.
11 When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things. 12 For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known. 13 And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.

Has JESUS returned yet?

Yes, actually yes, as risen to the Disciples first, read from Acts 1. he was dead in the flesh and they were lost in understanding, seeing he had died, not understanding what this all meant. Then saw him alive, risen from the dead and they got taught for forty days, before he left. The reason why he had to go to death first, then risen from the dead. Then they got told to wait for Father to come and speak through them in Spirit and Truth, which got done at Pentecost. That happened, because they were willing, Otherwise God does not use one, anyone unless one is willing, even if not understanding yet. The mysterious ways of Father.
This is not between you and me or anyone else as religion promotes it! this is personal, between God and you, as the same as is with me and everyone else also
Romans 8:15-16 thank you

The end result is the same, whether I prayed for healing or I have the gift of healing the fact is a miraculous healing was done by God

HAte to inform you but the Bible does cover current events. Can you not see them in the OT?

Our God is the God that tells the end from the beginning. Matthew 24 sounds just like the news of what's happening today.

Yes but having the gift means that such healing is not infrequent.
Jesus had the gift, Paul maybe, me not, and you?
