Yes. Moses was actually prophesying something if you have ears to hear it. On the day of Pentecost Moses's wish came true that God would pour out His Spirit on all His people and that they should all prophesy, both men and women.

I have heard some try to say that sermons are the gift of prophesy that Paul was talking about but I don't believe that he meant that nor did the Corinthians think so. He actually gives an example in the text of operating in the gift of prophesy and an unbeliever has the secrets of his heart...

Of course another interpretation could be that they prophesied in addition to speaking in tongues as when we are told that the 12 in Ephesus did in Acts 19 but it seems odd that it would not be mentioned here, unless the "magnifying God" was intended to be the reference to the Prophesying that...

I am not saying that Peter equates the gift of tongues with the gift of prophesy that Paul wrote about in 1 Cor chapters 12 - 14. I am saying that Peter said that what the crowd "heard and saw" which was them speaking in tongues and magnifying God, was the fulfilment of Joel's prophecy that...

Keeping it weird!

Paul said that he would that they all spoke in tongues but not in the church. In the church two or three at the most, so in that sense not all would speak in tongues. But in that case one could speak to himself and to God. So all can speak in tongues in the sense that they can receive that...

I picked up AOG from other posters. It seemed to be what others understood more often.

Well, I apologize for offending you. I was not intending to put you down. I suppose if you look at the thread I responded to your initial reply in a defensive attitude since I perceived that you were saying I had misrepresented what the Assemblies of God believes. I didn't need to come on so...

They are not worth reading. They are not true. They present a theology that is not pleasing to God at all. Might as well read the Quran. Just as twisted.

Have you Googled those same questions? If so you already have seen some really good explanations about the origins of those books. It was written sometime between 200 BC and 165 BC or close to that range depending on your source data. It is a collection of about 5 books. It was written by...

That would mean that they agree with AOG statements that one must show evidence of speaking in tongues to have experienced the baptism of the Holy Spirit. And so I don't know why you are arguing against that saying that the AOG does not teach that, and then basically saying that they do with...

Gordon Fee has a good commentary on 1 Cor. He makes a solid case for the Greek and for the context that Paul is talking about those who speak in tongues in the congregation and then one who interprets for mutual edification. Not all do it. One at a time in order and not all will prophesy, but...

Well you might not have meant what you wrote as I have noticed that you seem to have some difficulty in writing. It is not the position of the AOG that one can claim that they are baptized in the Holy Spirit because they have the gift of prophesy but they do not speak in tongues. The...

You're welcome. Yes the statements by some that you don't have the Holy Spirit unless you speak in tongues is serious error. Every Born Again Christian has the Holy Spirit or they are not born again yet. Most all pentecostal churches and denominations believe that you must be born again...

Good conversation brother. I enjoy it. I do believe that all born again Christians who ask to be endued with power from on high can receive it and speak in tongues. I do believe that it is that simple. I walk people through the scriptures on it and when I perceive they have faith I pray...

That is an allegory, not a parable. You should start saying that this story is an allegory, that would save a lot of time. And there is a difference between allegory and parables in ancient Hebrew literature and it is taught in bible colleges. It is not splitting hairs. Jesus audience knew...

I don't see how that applies. You concede that Jesus was using their belief system to teach a lesson in a parable story. You then say that the belief system they were using was a pagan belief about immortality. But the audience were Jewish and their belief system was what Jesus was...

But wouldn't Jewish tradition be more likely that which was the "familiar content" of the parable than any Greek pagan idea? The SDA and yourself has suggested that Jesus was using a common Greek pagan idea they had. That does not make sense. Wouldn't he be using a Jewish tradition they...

Videos take too long. I can read theological statements much faster. Videos drive me nuts with their excessive talking. I hate listening to 20 minutes of video that could have been stated in one concise paragraph. It is so rude. :)

I like making him squirm. :) JK. I think @Phoneman-777 is actually a well meaning SDA advocate. He will probably extract himself one day.
