The gifts ended when they could not longer be passed on by the apostles thru the laying on of their hands. None of the gifts are needed today unlike in biblical times

God speaks to us through his written word

All the gifts of the Spirit, the miraculous manifestations of the Spirit, have ceased.

There is no long-term evidence of anyone actually repenting over time recoreded in the bible. It's immediate sorrow only that is evident and recoreded. Long term, true change, who knows in any individual case recorded in scripture; and even today in our own lives, we all weave in-and-out...

No one has conversations with God

And you're reading more into the text than is there and making erroneous assumptions and judgements. How about the Jews that crucified Christ? Wasn't that act worse than that of Simon the sorcerer? Were they not saved? The text there says 3000 were added to the body of Christ, or don't you...

Acts 2:38 says repent. I don't follow you. Repentance is part of the salvation process. 1. Belief 2. Confession of belief as the Ethiopian eunuch did as per Rom 10:9 3. Repent per Acts 2:38 4. Baptism per Acts 2:38 That's the process

Read further. He was told to repent and he did Acts 8:22-24 22Repent therefore of this thy wickedness, and pray God, if perhaps the thought of thine heart may be forgiven thee. 23For I perceive that thou art in the gall of bitterness, and in the bond of iniquity. 24Then answered Simon, and...

Everyone baptized into Christ receives the Holy Spirit at the time of baptism according to scripture. There's no delay or time lag. Acts 2:38 38Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the...

It's Simon the sorcerer in Acts 8. You haven't learned much in 49yrs

The clear words of the bible is your rebuttal. I wasted time with you before and won't do it again

Go pedal your foolish unknowledgable nonsense to someone else that might be foolish and gullible enough to believe it. Goodbye

Simon was a baptized believer, meaning his sins were remitted and was added to the body of Christ; he was saved no different than myself (ref acts 2:38-47). He was told to repent or perish! What's that mean? Hebrews warns the newly converted jews of backsliding and renouncing the Lord and in so...

That's opposite of what the bible says. John 3:16

They were passed on 2000 years ago

On the contrary the bible warns of loosing your salvation in a few places such as Hebrews, Acts 8, Rev 7 churches of Asia.

It's not an error it's fact. Read the salutation in 1 Cor 1:2. "To the church of God which is at Corinth". Is that you? Is that any of us today? No, it's your error and lack of understanding scripture.

Where does 1 Cor 1:1-9 lead the CORINTHIANS to whom it was written? What WAS the desired intent for THEM? To what conclusion for THEM based on their issues and in their time? These are the questions that should be asked. A then, after you've CORRECTLY digested the Corinthian letter, what can...

Goodbye. Your shallow words mean nothing.

I'm a Christian that follows the words of scripture wherever they lead.
