    Ephesians 4:11-16

    Many interpret scripture by "that's the way I see it". It's usually wrong. Barnes' Notes on the Bible The sense here is, that "in heaven" - a state of absolute perfection - that which is "in part," or which is imperfect, shall be lost in superior brightness. All imperfection will vanish. And...

    Ephesians 4:11-16

    Because they don't know what they're talking about. If God says a thing, it remains until He says otherwise. Such people who say they believe the Bible are lying to themselves.

    Is Repentance a Condition for Salvation?

    Jesus said so. Jesus Begins His Ministry ESV Mark 1:14Now after John was arrested, Jesus came into Galilee, proclaiming the gospel of God, 15and saying, “The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the gospel.”

    What do we do with postbiblical revelation?

    First, there's no such thing as post biblical revelation. That is a phrase made up by unbelievers who don't believe God still speaks to His people. Secondly, God constantly reveals Himself to people. Check a former muslim's testimony. Thirdly, since prophecy continues to be ministered to the...

    Why So Many Different Christian Views?

    If you read that scripture correctly you would have easily determined that Peter sinned & drew Barnabas into it. IDK why you can't see that.

    The Need For A Church Council

    Don't worry, just wait a little while and a worldwide version will be available to tell every christian organization what to do. I'm personally not planning on being here when it does.;)

    Pentecostalism's sketchy origins

    Firstly, if you were in the P/C movement for 25 years, you should easily know the difference between a pentecostal church & a charismatic church, because they are not alke as many suggest. With 25 years, you of all people should know the 2 groups don't belong together explained as a singular...

    The New Apostolic Movement

    There have never been an "office" of apostle or prophet. No "office" of any ministry.

    Pentecostalism's sketchy origins

    Funny isn't it, when dissenters come out with what they don't believe they will find the worst example possible, & when they try to disprove a thing, they usually use just as bad an exmple to prove it's wrong. It makes one wonder how wise they really are.:rolleyes:

    Pentecostalism's sketchy origins

    CP's..... no such thing. Do yo think southern baptists & methodists should be put in the same classification? Of course not. Two different movements... one from somewhere in the 1890's - 1906. The other in 1960's. Just because Johnny Mac put them together in his books & seminars doesn't mean...

    The New Apostolic Movement

    One only needs to investigate the NAR to find countless sites explaining its false doctrines.

    Pentecostalism's sketchy origins

    I thought the same thing about you.I'm glad most of the Pentecostals left this Op to quit listening to all the insults they didn't deserve. That means they don't want to be the agitating, insulting polar opposites of you guys. My hat goes off to them.

    Pentecostalism's sketchy origins

    I believe a spirit of dissimulation is at work in this OP.

    Pentecostalism's sketchy origins

    Theres something terribly wrong in this OP. It's as if we being manipulated to be polarized in our opinions further & further apart. And I mean on purpose. I suggest we pray about this that the Lord reveal what's really going on. I sense a spiritual darkness at work here. Be careful so you...

    Pentecostalism's sketchy origins

    Sorry, I'm afraid I can't do that. I'm not used to running whenever someone suggest I leave. BTW, I notice some of your posts seem a little "dumbed down" as if lacking understanding, then out of nowhere you post scripture like you knew all along what you were talking about. You are much smarter...

    Answered prayer

    God also answers prayer "in His time". I believe God heard you the first time. The situation with your friend needed time for God to work. That was her valley experience, not yours. Valleys take time for learning & discovery. God answers prayer when we're hurt, offended & confused. It doesn't...

    Pentecostalism's sketchy origins

    I felt it necessary to tell you & I did. It's only required that I tell you, not force-feed you. Now I am done. I was definitely wrong about one thing, & that's you. You come in here acting like you want some answers, only to argue what you think is right. All pretense, as those kind do.

    Pentecostalism's sketchy origins

    When Jesus resurrected from the dead & showed Himself to His disciples, those who believed were saved right then. But, Jesus commanded his disciples to tarry in the upper room until they received power from on high. What happen in the upper room was separate from believing in Jesus'...

    Pentecostalism's sketchy origins

    You DO realize I wasn't talking about people's salvation, don't you? I've been only talking about the Baptism of the Holy Spirit, which isn't required for salvation. I wasn't talking about tongues, either. The baptism of the Spirit isn't the same as receiving the Spirit at salvation. Two totally...

    Pentecostalism's sketchy origins

    I cannot agree wit your statement about not for everybody. Acts 2 states it for all God's people, even sons & daughters, servants & handmaidens. I think in your "younger days" you spiritually weren't ready. It's not about age, it's more about commitment. This isn't meant to be insulting in any...
