While I like most of your post, it grieves me to hear about the tolerance issue. Tolerance is where the devil gets his foot in the door.

We will always disagree on things because our experiences are different. But it is BECAUSE of our different experiences we can always bring something fresh & new to the table. I think because of this christians can make up the body by every joint that supplieth to the body. Because of our...

I understand, really. I've sat on a state board that was locked down stiff on tithing & refused to budge. That was only one of the things I discovered. You must remember the multiple times God dealt with Israel & Judah with their sin issues. God is longsuffering, not willing that any should...

@ RA We're on the 38th page & you still have no proof showing. We've given you time for evidence & all you do is accuse & mock. Excuse me, sir, but your fruit is showing.:devilish:

Who are these people you are talking about that need to confess they have founders that need to be separated from? Your lips are moving, but I don't see anthing real coming out. There's an old saying: mess, or get off the pot. I think it's about time you get off the pot.

I agree with most of what you say here, but that bolded statement I have trouble with. I have been in the Pentecostal church since I was 17. And, yes, I saw fake manifestations because many were caught up in the excitement the Holy Spirit can bring. Some wanted the Baptism simply because others...

I'm betwixt two here. One side absolutely refuses to consider what's written in scripture, while the other side continues to try to prove what he won't hear. The Bible says two things about such people: 1. If they won't hear you, dust off your feet as a testimony against them. 2. We are to...

What groups are these? Where is your proof?

Romans 12:6-8 ESV Having gifts that differ according to the grace given to us, let us use them: if prophecy, in proportion to our faith; if service, in our serving; the one who teaches, in his teaching; the one who exhorts, in his exhortation; the one who contributes, in generosity; the one who...

I would have thought you of all people would have understood 1Cor 13. "Face to face" is when we receive our new bodies. Also, where does people keep getting this unwritten rule that "once the Bible is completed, we don't need prophecy"? Prophets are those who "speak for God". That doesn't mean...

Really?!? "You're a great guy, but you follow false teachers & known liars". Jut how can you say such things? Compliment & insult in the same sentence? You're looking to get your foot in the door for something. Trying to make somebody mad so they will do/say something unchristianlike.

1 Corinthians 14:1Pursue love, and earnestly desire the spiritual gifts, especially that you may prophesy. 2For one who speaks in a tongue speaks not to men but to God; for no one understands him, but he utters mysteries in the Spirit. 3On the other hand, the one who prophesies speaks to people...

3 John 1: 5Beloved, it is a faithful thing you do in all your efforts for these brothers, strangers as they are, 6who testified to your love before the church. You will do well to send them on their journey in a manner worthy of God. 7For they have gone out for the sake of the name, accepting...

Every christian should have the gift of prophecy according to Acts 2. 14But Peter, standing with the eleven, lifted up his voice and addressed them: “Men of Judea and all who dwell in Jerusalem, let this be known to you, and give ear to my words. 15For these people are not drunk, as you suppose...

Hebrews was written to Hebrew Christians. All the epistles were written to christians, as the world cannot discern spiritual things. Since it is written to christians, EVERY christian can benefit from it. You should have known that.

There seems to be a problem with striking the word gift out, especially since nearly every translation has it. Yes, it is placed there for understandings' sake, because it was needed. Not every Greek word has a sufficient translated word for it, so some of them can't be properly translated...

Hi MM. It is preferred Biblically to go to church & fellowship with the saints. Heb 10: 24And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, 25not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing...

I agree. many today think it's all about them. They sing praise of who they are in Christ instead of who saved them. Then when prophecy or tongues/interpretation are spoken, it's always how God is pleased with them & wants them to worship Him. All these prophecies, & not a single warning about...

It's definitely one of them. It eventually changes from respect of persons to leader worship, which in turn becomes idol worship. I saw in my church about 3 years ago people who would stand up & testify, "I'm thankful for Bro. so&so, because without that man in my life I wouldn't be saved...

So you noticed also that those that say "we now have the complete Bible, so the church no longer has need of the gifts" are usually leading others by the nose?
