    Some truth about speaking in tongues, the Holy Ghost, spiritual gifts and 1 Corinthians 14

    This might seem like a ignorant question but what is your definition of conversion? I dont understand when you say someone is sealed at conversion. Conversion to me, means that you converted from something else. Another question I would ask is what does it mean to be saved? You mentioned you...

    Some truth about speaking in tongues, the Holy Ghost, spiritual gifts and 1 Corinthians 14

    Yea thats what Im getting from the exchanges. Challenges to my beliefs. And not that thats a bad thing. It exposes any weakness and only makes them stronger. Its like sparring. You learn to counter attacks, by learning better defenses and quicker responses to the attacks. Basically its rewarding...

    Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.

    You originally said they did not obtain salvation. Im glad you were able to see they obtained salavtion. As for the fact of ascending and descending I would need more verses then the one you provided. Jesus walked with the apostles for like 40 days before He ascended? I would need to study more...

    Some truth about speaking in tongues, the Holy Ghost, spiritual gifts and 1 Corinthians 14

    Yea no problem. We should encourage one another. Were not alone in Christ. Were here to help one another. So I appreciate the advice. Im really new to this site so I agree with you. When I first began posting I was hit with conflicting views right off the bat and I took it head on.. but now I...

    Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.

    Wait a second now.. So you mean to tell me that the obeyed God and did not obtain salvation? I beg to differ. And I will share the following scripture and you can explain if you still believe they were not given salvation. Matthew 27:50 Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice...

    Some truth about speaking in tongues, the Holy Ghost, spiritual gifts and 1 Corinthians 14

    Yea youre right. And God bless you bro. I enjoy ur post. You started this thread right? Nice job. I did exactly what you said. Matter of fact I cried out to God. I was getting so discouraged. I needed Him to answer and I left in in his court. I waited for the answer. As I sat their still head...

    Some truth about speaking in tongues, the Holy Ghost, spiritual gifts and 1 Corinthians 14

    I kind of got confused with the last part. The baptizm in the Holy Spirit which is a Spiritual event that can happen in different ways, but as to how the bible identifies this is by laying on of hands by an anointed person (One who has the Holy Spirit). So then by laying on of hands the person...

    Some truth about speaking in tongues, the Holy Ghost, spiritual gifts and 1 Corinthians 14

    Not to pry in your conversation. But I want to concurr with you. That it is true. We want to spend time with God alone and let him reveal to us in His scriptures what they mean. All the answers are in the bible. We should never trust man, although God uses men to point us in a direction or...

    Isnt it worse that he chose his vices over God? I think its sad that your ex wasn't strong enough in the Lord. How long were you with him? Atleast you found out short term rather in the long run that he would turn back to his vices. God might have spared you a worse situation such as divorce or...

    a born-again Christian can never (keyword: never) lose their salvation

    Just to add to what you stated. I pulled this excerpt from Gotquestions. In His Parable of the Sower, Jesus identifies the ones who fall away as those who receive the seed of God’s Word with joy, but, as soon as a time of testing comes along, they fall away. James says that the testing of our...

    Why I no longer believe in the penal substitution theory of the Atonement

    How can you not understand Jesus and who He is? You seem blind. Ive already told you the spirit that is in you is not of God. You have a spirit of confusion. God is not the author of confusion. Let me point out in the verses you chose: John 10:38 But if I do, though ye believe not me, believe...

    Some truth about speaking in tongues, the Holy Ghost, spiritual gifts and 1 Corinthians 14

    Why does everything revolve around being saved? I thought Jesus came to reconcile us to God. Isnt that what He did on the cross? Everyone seems to focus on "saved" and what doctrine shows you are "saved" and can you lose "salvation". Seems like the motives are wrong.

    Why I no longer believe in the penal substitution theory of the Atonement

    In John 1 when we learn about Jesus and who He is, it shows us Jesus was there since the beginning. Genesis doesnt point that out because it was all about the Father our creator and His glory. But Jesus was there since the beginning. All was made through the Word and without Him was not...

    How do you jump from being born again of water and Spirit to 1 Peter 1:23 ? Do you know what 1 Peter 1:23 is saying? The incorruptible see which is the Word of God. Do you know who the Word of God is? Thats Jesus. John1:14 the Word was made flesh and dwelt among us. Jesus is the incorruptible...

    Why I no longer believe in the penal substitution theory of the Atonement

    I am a child of God. What are you not understanding? Because I told you Jesus is not the Father. When you say God made flesh, im assuming you are talking about the Father? If this is what you believe I disagree. Jesus always said His Father who is in Heaven. So no God did not come down in...

    I see what you mean. But can I ask you a question? Just to open up a bit further. Using the same scenario. That guy kicking the dog and cursing the guy on the road and mad with his wife (im hoping that isnt you btw lol) can you see by his fruits that he isn't walking in the love God intended...
