    Spiritual gifts: Unconfusing them

    I couldn't be more wrong, why, because you said so? The scriptures bear me out.

    Spiritual gifts: Unconfusing them

    Please regard this ad supplemental to my initial response to which was rushed due to time constraints this A.M. Regardless what you call them be it gifts or manifestations of the spirit, they have all ceased long ago and will not be present until the Lord returns. 1 Cor 13:8-10 still is...

    Spiritual gifts: Unconfusing them

    You are correct regarding gifts and the proper term for them as manifestations of the spirt. I simply referred to them as they are most commonly referred to today, as gifts, not manifestations of the spirit. Regarding churches of God, the letter was addressed to the church of God at Corinth, so...

    Spiritual gifts: Unconfusing them part 2

    A continuation of my previous post entitled "Spiritual gifts: Unconfusing them" There is obvious confusion and lack of understanding in what is meant by the scripture "and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost (Spirit)" as per Acts 2:38, versus the various miraculous spiritual gifts...

    Spiritual gifts: Unconfusing them

    I'm a Christian who simply reads and studies the bible and trys to understand what it meant then and what it now means to us. The problem with most people is that they erroneously assume it was written to us; it wasn't, but does have peripheral meaning and application to us. We just need...

    Spiritual gifts: Unconfusing them

    Not quite on the same page with you but for sure, this is a good and timely topic due to relative confusion of it. The gifts did diminish in importance and rightfully so. The gifts were akin to parts of the body, in this case, the body of Christ, the church. There was no written NT word, just...

    Spiritual gifts: Unconfusing them

    Very difficult subject (spiritual gifts) which is why there's so much controversy, and equally difficult to unravel and explain. But let me explain it this way. First, look at the way Paul started his letter to the Corinthians starting at 1 Cor1:10 where he's discussing contentions and...

    The Sinners Prayer?

    The sinners prayer, so-called or anything similar, is not found in the bible and will not save your soul.

    Why Easter Is Important

    Facts regarding Easter. Easter, is pagan and a pagan holiday in worship of queen Eostra which holiday coincided with the Jewish passover at the time of Jesus's crucifixion in Jerusalem. The Greek word in Acts 12:4 where the word Easter is found only once in the KJV (King James Version) bible...

    When should you take communion?

    When you take all the aforementioned scriptures into consideration as mentioned in my previous post #14, it suggests that the 1st day of the week and the breaking of bread participated in thereon was not a meal, but rather the time that the disciples came together as the church and remembered...

    When should you take communion?

    Read the following. Start with Matthew 26:26-28, then Acts 20:7, then 1 Cor 11:23-29, then 1 Cor 16:1-2. You'll see the ref to the 1st day of the week also mentioned in 1 Cor 16:1-2 regarding taking up the collection, so that in conjunction with the other verses would seem to indicate that it...

    When should you take communion?

    That's different. They ate their meat. That's a meal not a remembrance or honoring of the Lord as in partaking of the Lord's supper.

    When should you take communion?

    Every week as did the the disciples. Acts 20:7 7And upon the first day of the week, when the disciples came together to break bread, Paul preached unto them, ready to depart on the morrow; and continued his speech until midnight.

    All we need is the LORD Jesus to be saved

    There is no record in the bible of anyone asking Jesus into their heart to be saved. 1. Belief & faith 2. Confession of belief as did the Ethiopian eunuch in Acts8 and in accordance with Romans 10:9 3. Repentance as the Jews were told to do on the day of Pentecost in Acts 2:38 4. Baptism for...

    Do you believe Spirit baptism replaces water baptism?

    As stated, you are out to lunch. Go dip, plunge, immerse in whatever you like. Your logic is illogical. Goodbye

    Do you believe Spirit baptism replaces water baptism?

    You are totally out to lunch. Read the account of John the Baptist in luke 3. Read the account if the Ethiopian eunuch in Acts 8. It's obvious that baptism is water baptism

    Sorry, scriptures teach otherwise. You will not find a scripture that supports your claim
