I'm following the great commission, are you? Are you equipped? Or do you still have a hard heart, and deny His gifts available.

14 Later He appeared to the eleven as they sat at the table; and He rebuked their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they did not believe those who had seen Him after He had risen. 15 And He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. 16 He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned. 17 And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues; 18 they will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.”
my entire family is saved,wife,my siblings, children, grandchildren, friends, co-workers, neighbors I've witnessed to etc....

Acts 16:31- "Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, you and your household."

God knows the truth I surely do not need to prove it to you as the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit are my witness. By 2 or 3 witnesses is every word confirmed. Deuteronomy 19:15 and John 8:17-18. The Trinity bears witness as does all my family, friends, church, pastors I know etc................ Witnesses in abundance.

hope this helps !!!

And is edified.


And edifies others.


Berserk is correct. He knows what he is talking about by experience. The problem with many Cessationists is they have no experience in it, so they talk of such matters from theory only, and they interpret scripture without any real life understanding of what is actually being said, bro. This is why Charismatic Lady has been after you to label the "gifts" you actually walk in. What we have experienced determines what we have genuine knowledge of, and not just theories concerning.
And its all backwards as experience is meaningless when it opposes the truth from scripture. Truth comes first and experience should be tested by scripture not vice versa to make sure it lines up.

I fear you are yet another victim of the enemy using false prophets to convince you that true ones do not and will not ever exist. By falling for this, you are actually getting victimized by the very spirits of deception you think you have been protected from.


The great commission included manifesting supernatural signs and wonders because this is what drew them in, not only by the New Testament church but by the Lord Jesus Christ Himself. By defaming these things for today, you make the gospel impotent by comparison. The church is not gaining ground in our time, it is slowly losing ground to religions like Islam now. Your teaching will only further than decline, though I know you don't mean to be adding to it intentionally.
Matthew 28:19 KJV
[19] Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
1 Corinthians 1:17 KJV
[17] For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of none effect.
I have a hard time understanding how Paul didn’t receive the commission posted above, yet you did?

I asked which ones of the 12 listed you have. I never claimed which ones I have.

Which 12 are you asking about, because no list has 12. Are you meaning all the gifts and offices. Let's see there are:

Mark 16: (all)
16 He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned. 17 And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues; 18 they will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.”


Romans 12: (all)
Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, let us use them: if prophecy, let us prophesy in proportion to our faith; 7 or ministry, let us use it in our ministering; he who teaches, in teaching; 8 he who exhorts, in exhortation; he who gives, with liberality; he who leads, with diligence; he who shows mercy, with cheerfulness.

1 Corinthians 12: (all but the last two)
7 But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to each one for the profit of all: 8 for to one is given the word of wisdom through the Spirit, to another the word of knowledge through the same Spirit, 9 to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healings by the same Spirit, 10 to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another discerning of spirits, to another different kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues. 11 But one and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing to each one individually as He wills.

Ephesians 4: (teacher)
11 And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers, 12 for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ, 13 till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God.

But you don't believe the scriptures.

Also Joel was a prophet to Israel, if I read and interpret all scripture as specifically spoken to me then I’m very likely to become self centered and conceited, and we wouldn’t want that to happen, because that would be in direct opposition to the teachings of Christ and His Apostles.

Good. But I certainly hope you have not spread your unbelief to them.

16 He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned. 17 And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues; 18 they will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.”

you mocked me the entire thread who are you kidding ?

You really don't believe the scriptures do you. Someone says, the word of God says these gifts will follow those who BELIEVE, and you believe the scripture false, or worse yet, mock God's word. Psalms 1:1

no I respect poisonous snakes and have caught them when I was young and STUPID

Answer the question. What does "someone let the cat out of the bag" mean? Is it literal, or is there a meaning behind it?

Picking up poisonous snakes and drinking poison and it not harming you, is a Hebrew idiom that means "divine protection." Those who actually pick up snakes, like in the Appalachians, are committing the sin of presumption out of ignorance.
