    Spiritual gifts: Unconfusing them part 2

    You can't even understand what is written in black and white. Believe whatever nonsense you like. You'll hear no more from me.

    Spiritual gifts: Unconfusing them part 2

    When that which is perfect is referring to the perfect man meaning the body of Christ. In Corinth there was division as well as many other problems that adversely affected the body of Christ there, which was compared to the body of a man as the scriptures described in 1 Cor 12:12, et al, with...

    Here's the text from it's beginning (KJV) What EXACTLY did the Lord say to Ananias starting at verse 11 through 12? And what EXACTLY did Ananias say to Saul in verse 17? And what happened when when Ananias laid his hands on Saul as noted in verse 18? Is there any indication that Saul received...

    Spiritual gifts: Unconfusing them

    Were the epistles written to us, literally to us, today, our generation, addressing our issues? Were the Corinthian letters written to us? Was the Ephesian letter written to us? And on, and on. That's not to say they have no applicability to us, they do. There are principles to be learned and...

    All human kind, "all flesh" by your thinking means every human being, unbelievers, Satanists, jews, non jews, all the believers in other so called gods, all the oriental religions, etc, in other words "all flesh"! Eh?

    I've explained this before to a few people including to our friend Steven which post is above somewhere. Read the text closely. Read verse 12 of Acts 9, the words of the Lord to Ananias. There is NO mention of Holy Ghost, only that Saul/Paul would receive his sight. Then read Ananias words to...

    Good! We're making progress. And to the comment that the other party made re the Joel prophesy as recounted in Acts 2:16, by "all flesh" as reads the Greek, does that mean every, single person, every single Jew, every single believer, or what? Or, does it mean both Jews AND Gentiles? I think the...

    How else does the Spirit enter you? What other scripture tells you how the Spirit enters a believer? Only one tells you how and when and that's Acts 2:38. This is the point I've continually tried to make via the word used there, "gift" of the Holy Ghost. "Gift" is singular for a reason: because...

    Who said they needed a sign? Read the text, Acts 8. They hadn't received any manifestation of the Spirit only were baptized, so, like you and I, if you've been baptized into Christ as I have, as were the Jews on the day of Pentecost, we, as did they, received the Holy Ghost, the indwelling of...

    Really? Why's that, because you just said so? Your words mean nothing; the scriptures mean everything and are contrary to your words. Ref the scriptures below which contradict YOUR words. The miraculous gifts of the Spirit were imparted by the laying on of the apostle's hands as confirmed by...

    Spiritual gifts: Unconfusing them part 2

    So we agree finally! It took you long enough to see the simplicity of the scriptures. 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 gift of the Holy Ghost. Believe, repent, be...

    Spiritual gifts: Unconfusing them part 2

    In Acts 2:38, irrespective of commas, the Greek word 'kai', 'and' in English, is used which is a conjunction, and conjunctions tie parts of sentences together inextricably. Billy Graham is the worst example of a preacher since he didn't know how to tell someone to be saved nor does his son...

    Saved by God := Through Faith

    Water baptism is so meaningless that Jesus himself made the below comments Mark 16:15-16 "15And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. 16He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned." Yes, you're...

    Saved by God := Through Faith

    Your thoughts and illogical words that don't align with scripture. Ignor what you like, believe what you like, but the words will remain. Goodbye

    Saved by God := Through Faith

    Why did the Ethiopian eunuch even mention water and baptism? He knew absolutely nothing about it nor it's relevance. Very obviously, it must have been part of the gospel message that Philip taught him. You read it and Acts 2:38-47. The combination of those accounts along with Romans 10:9 relates...

    Saved by God := Through Faith

    To believe as you do is to ignore all of the relative scriptures. Read the account of the Ethiopian eunuch. What did he do and what was the exchange between him and Philip? He did more and was told more than just believe. And likewise, the jews on the day of Pentecost were told more than just...

    Spiritual gifts: Unconfusing them part 2

    Nothing went wrong St. Ste.Ven, as I've stated and restated. The scriptures you cited are validation that to receive the manifestation of the Spirit, the miraculous gifts, those listed in 1 Cor 12:8-10, required the laying on of the apostle's hands. The Samarians were baptized believers no...
