Hi Leah. Nice to meet you too! Welcome to CB and I hope to get to know you better over time. :)

Hey Jiggyfly. What I said is true. All who believe on the Lord Jesus Christ will be saved. He came to save everyone in the world.......however, not everyone in the world is going to follow Christ. That is why I pointed out Matt 7:14. Not everyone will be saved and so the only people who will...

Lol...John 3:16 says that whosoever believes on the Lord Jesus Christ shall be saved...so the only people who will be saved our those who believe in Him through repentance and faith. So not all will be saved and not all can be saved because not all will believe as mentioned in Matthew 7:14 Oh...

I was in your shoes about a year ago. I got saved and didn't know a good church and didn't know where to turn. I spent most of my time watching sermons online to learn about things but eventually came here to seek answers from fellow Christians. What bothered me though is I would ask a simple...

Hi Next. Praise God for revealing Himself to you. Self righteousness is such a horrible thing to get caught up in. Every religion out there is all about gaining merit through works and earning ones way to heaven or paradise. Not Christianity. It's about turning to Christ and admitting that you...

Very nice study. Thank for sharing. :)

Very nice post and a great reminder. I believe that whenever our joy come from our performance and what we can do for God instead of what Christ has done for us...it is idolatry. Our joy should always come from the finished work of Christ and not from our performance/works.

Endzone, I showed the scripture and I don't know how I can explain this anymore clearly to you....if you were lost lets say (hypothetical) and had a drinking problem...then you get saved and 30 years after that you still have a drinking problem.....it proves that you were never truly born again...

1 Corinthians 6:9-10 - Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals, nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers, will inherit the...

Well if you are in bondage to any sin then you are going to hell. The verses above are specifically talking about sexual immorality and I think they clearly tell us where one will end up if they don't repent. Now we most use discernment of course. There is a big difference between being in...

1Th 4:3-5 - For this is the will of God, your sanctification; that is, that you abstain from sexual immorality; that each of you know how to possess his own vessel in sanctification and honor, not in lustful passion, like the Gentiles who do not know God; Matthew 5:27-28 - "You have heard that...

Speaking in tongues is a real gift given by the Holy Spirit and it is a sign for unbelievers. It's purpose was to help the believers spread the gospel into foreign lands and it enables the language barrier that would normally keep one from evangelizing to be able to spread the gospel much...

Hi skyangel...Welcome to CB. I read your study and I like some of the points you made... 1 Cor 14:15 I never seen this as the same when Paul said I will pray with the spirit and I will pray with the mind also. What you said about this is very true. If we are praying, speaking or singing in the...

I found this study and wanted to share.... After the disciples were baptized in the Holy Spirit “they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance” (Ac. 2:4) When the apostles are filled with the Holy Spirit they become the...

I think at times God will show Himself in a way to encourage us and remind us that He is with us. I wouldn't consider this testing God...but I was praying and looking up at the stars....earlier I told Him that I never seen a shooting star. So while I was looking at those stars...just being...

Paul never said that pagan gibberish was able to be interpreted. In 1 Cor 14:4...Paul is referring to pagan gibberish...In 1 Cor 14:5 Paul was referring to the real gift of tongues...real languages that can be understood by others who speak it. Paul was teaching that the only way tongues is...

1 Cor 14:4 is NOT referring to the true gift of tongues......it's referring to the Pagan babble that was influencing the church at that time. Many of believers were former pagans.....1 Cor 12:2

The modern day use of tongues is used for edification of the believer...but that is not what the gift is intended for. It's a sign for unbelievers to come to the saving faith in God. However it's not used correctly anymore...which is why it's hard to believe people who claim that the gift of...

This is not my study...I just shared the work of another. So can cannot speak on their behalf. But I did make one point of my own and if you wish to discuss it then feel free....... I wrote....anyone who prays or speaks in tongues to edify contradict scripture (1 Cor 14:22)

I found an interesting chart on the spiritual gifts mentioned in the NT........ Romans 12:6-8 - Prophecy, Serving, teaching, Exhortation, Giving, Leading, Showing Mercy 1 Corinthians 12:8-10 - Word of Wisdom, Word of Knowledge, Faith, Healings, Miracles, Prophecy, Discerning of Spirits...
