This is truth. So could it be that Daniel and Revelation are saying the same thing about the same person? His body was destroyed but he (His spirit) was thrown into the lake of fire. I am just thinking of possibilities.

On the contrary, if Paul tells us he is going to write about the gathering, then somehow forgets the gathering, he has a problem. But not to worry, He told them he was to write about the gathering and then he included it - as the departing. When the church leaves in the rapture, are they not...

Why not dig deeper and get Strong's answer for BOTH WORDS of this compound word? The question is, CAN this word mean something else? It is a compound word - "apo" and "stasia." Here is what STrong's says about "apo: of separation... ...of local separation, after verbs of motion from a place...

Exactly: in verse 1 Paul is setting out the THEME of this passage. Where in the rest of the passage does Paul fulfill this theme? Tell us which verse?

The truth is, many in the Old Testament were anointed by the Holy Spirit and they were not "born again." But God had to anoint them to fulfill the tasks He had given them. The disciples were the first to be born again, when Jesus breathed on them and said, "receive the Holy Spirit." This came...

What did Luke write about this? Acts 1:8 But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth. Contrast with: 2 Corinthians 1:22 Who hath also...

Matthew: the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him: Mark: the Spirit like a dove descending upon him: Luke: the Holy Ghost descended in a bodily shape like a dove upon him, John: I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and it abode upon him. Acts 1:8 But...

Show us a scripture that says what you say: that Acts is a transitional book. It is a part of Scripture, and therefore is usable for Doctrine according to Paul. Now, since you asked: First, let's ask the question: when would Philip baptize people in water? Acts 8: 36 And as they went on their...

Is our human spirit "alive" after our body is destroyed?

Please note all the translations BEFORE the KJV that translated this word as a departing. Also not what Strongs said: " to forsake (with G575) " and g575 points to forsaking Moses. By itself it can only mean to depart of forsake but no information as to forsake or depart from WHAT? Or, as KJV...

It literally means a defection from a truth once held. No, this is not true. You are adding a meaning not included in the word Apostasia. That word does NOT include what is being depart FROM (you added "truth"). Have you studied this compound Greek word? Notice what Strongs says: It is a...

Am I allowed to answer? A better question would be DID PAUL believe it? Yes, I think Paul believed it so I believe it. I think a careful study of this passage confirms it. First, verse 3b tells us the man of sin "Is revealed." Yet, verses 6 - 8 tell us he cannot be revealed until the power...

The only problem with that is, your injecting Jesus coming. What? Do you associated Jesus coming with the Day of the Lord? I don't find the word "coming" anywhere in this passage. I think it is inferred in the word "apostasia" translated as a departing. If you have another theory as to why...

it is written very clearly for all to read in Acts 8 and 19. They heard the word preached. They believed the word preached. They got born again. They were water baptized. Then, after all that, they had hands laid on them and they received the Holy Spirit. The earliest epistles were written...

Please quote where "power" is written in those verses, as it is written in Acts 1.

Sorry, but anyone saying the 7th trumpet is the end is rearranging. The "end" (of the 70th week and of the Jewish age) is at the 7th vial where it is written "it is done." Some translations say "it is finished." Just to make it very plain, the 7th trumpet is in chapter 11. All the events of...

The baptism of the Holy Spirit IS the anointing. It is what comes UPON people. Romans 6 is speaking of being baptized in WATER. Going under signifies we DIED. (" if One died for all, then all died"). Coming up out of the water signifies our new live as a new birth of regeneration.

Sorry, but you are not being accurate with the scripture. The baptism of the Holy Spirit is for power to witness, not "unto eternal life." You are mixing up regeneration done by the Holy Spirit and being baptiszed into the Holy Spirit down by Jesus Christ for the purpose of power to witness...

This washing of the spirit is the baptism of the spirit Sorry, but Acts 1 tells us the baptism of the Holy Spirit is for POWER. Study Acts 8 and Acts 19 where people received this mighty baptism: it came AFTER they were born again and baptized in water. Also notice that it was the Holy Spirit...

All scripture is good for doctrine. Don't try and tell us that we cannot use Acts to form Doctrine, else Paul was wrong. Did Phillip and Paul preach "pet" doctrines? No, they taught TRUTH. Both men knew that the baptism in the Holy Spirit usually came after one was born again.
