Have you ever heard the term "flogging a dead horse?" it relates to jockeys who whip their horses whilst they running to make them run faster. If the horse has run out of puff, then flogging it with a whip is flogging a dead horse. In other words, it is dead on its feet.

Does anyone else feel that Dave L has been flogging a dead horse? The dead horse here is the cessationist ideology that says tongues passed away either when the apostles did or when the canon of scripture was complete. You take your pick.

So far he has not produced one single verse of scripture that says that is what happened or is going to happen. Despite this fact, he insists we are all wrong and he is right. Talk about flogging a dead horse.

no i never misunderstood at all..when someone uses that scripture in defense .they use it in error. the tongues i know nothing about other than what scripture ..has to say . the only practice that i really frown on is the slain in the spirit . but that is another subject

Well sorry.
But you were the one asking about when was the last time we (Charismatics)
picked up snakes and drunk poison.

jhst to be honest if those who think God tells them to pick up a poisons snake as a act of faith is doing it in the flesh there nuts..

Not sure why you said this then if you understood already what it really meant.

The important thing is not what I have done. The important thing is what the scriptures teach. Until you know what the scripture teaches you cannot do anything.
i dont care what you or anyone has done and i DO KNOW what scripture teaches

I have done that but you seem to see only what you want to see.
Again. it's time for me to stop responding to you unless you post something with substance. I'm reading your posts hoping you will come up with something we can address with scripture.

your getting no where there are some thing in the pentecostal realm i question...but your not going to change them. no more than they will change you.. having said that get the diehard apostolic beliefs baptism in Jesus name only speak in tongues evidence of salvation trinity teaching is 3 Gods then i will stand up and say wrong.. saved is saved no matter the denom. the old saying catch more flies with honey than vinegar holds true .try a honey approach
I think the truth sets people free if God gives them ears to hear. And many find freedom from Pentecostalism every day.

I have done that but you seem to only see what you want to see and trying to be self-righteous is not helping your cause.

You are a perfect example of the level of deception in Charismatics today for any serious bible student willing to take up the issue.

And you are a perfect example of a cessationist who avoids the truth like the plague.
