That is a very sad mistake many believers make today: thinking that every single thing said to first century Christians apply to themselves. :( Have you read what the evil spirit said to those Jews (sons of a Jewish high riest) when they try to cast out demons using the name of the Lord Jesus...

That was the first manifestation of the anointing of the apostles and first followers of Jesus (120 in total, all of them reunited in the same place). After they move from that place, Peter gave his discourse and the rest of them start talking with people of diferent territories, so it was not...

Can you? :oops: You were not present when Christians in Jerusalem received the holy spirit directly from Jesus after he received it from the Father ... Luke 24:49 And, look! I am sending forth upon YOU that which is promised by my Father. YOU, though, abide in the city until YOU become clothed...

Yeap, it is dificult to deduce ... but there was something particular in the case of anointed Christians. Can you think on what I am talking about?

Do you think that God cannot make Satan and his demons cease to exist, even though He was the one who created them before they became what they are?

Do you think that when the holy spirit was at work in ancient Israelite men like Samson, Gideon, Saul, David and others, the process was identical to when first century Christians were anointed?

Do you think that you dancing was the spirit of God making you dance? Do you have any biblical reference to a first-century Christian (in some biblical story) who, upon being anointed with holy spirit, began to dance?

Wrong. It was the eunuch who went to Jerusalem to worship. Acts 8:27 With that he got up and went, and look! an E·thi·oʹpi·an eunuch, a man who had authority under Can·daʹce, queen of the E·thi·oʹpi·ans, and who was in charge of all her treasure. He had gone to Jerusalem to worship, 28 and he...

No. The Eunuch was a proselyte-Jew, i.e. a foreigner converted to Judaism. He was in Jerusalem to celebrate the Jewish Passover, and surely he was aware of many of the religious teachings and practices of the Jews.

Modern speaking languages is not any "spiritual gift". I speak English, Spanish, Italian, ... but I had to study them. Speaking gibberish isn't a "spiritual gift" either ... babies do that too. :D No one person today can speak a real human language without studying it first and that's why those...

In the post#252 there is a very pertinent biblical quote regarding the spiritual gifts that were only given to the original Christians, the apostles and elders, probably exclusively to the 120 who were gathered in Jerusalem and a few who received them by laying on of hands) in the first...

Religionists who act as if they have the same spiritual gifts as the first century do not represent the true manifestation of God's holy spirit. Their supposedly spiritual displays are histrionic and overwhelming to look at, yelling abounds in those religious activities. The people who are...

Paul wrote a long passage of his 1 Corinthians letter to the topic of the tongues. He clarifies many issues regarding why this gift existed and why we know that it is not the glossolalia practiced by some religious. (1 Corinthians 14:2-19) 2 For the one who speaks in a tongue speaks, not to...

Jehovah's Witnesses worship what we know (John 4:22) and how we should worship (John4:23). We have a Governing Body made up of people who are anointed with holy spirit and who are blessed by God as they investigate Bible truths. They share with all the witnesses of the world the conclusions of...

Jesus "presence" is not on earth. It is when he is enthroned in heavens. That is an event invisible to human eyes, and we can only know about it through the sign Jesus gave to us in Mat. 24, Luke 21 and Mark 13. His presence is not the same as his "coming". The expression "his (Jesus')...

The annointed brothers of Jesus started being resurrected at the beginning of "the presence" of Jesus in his heavenly throne (1), those dying after it continue being raised (2), and the last ones still alive will be transform the last moment (3). 1. Those of them who were long dead were...

The gifts of the holy spirit were special abilities that anointed Christians received according to the individual person. However, these abilities were not given out of nowhere, but rather the spiritual gifts were transmitted by the laying on of hands from those who had originally received the...

You are fake and everyone has seen that. You attack JWs because you can't prove what you say or dissprove what we show others with the Bible because you don't know the Scriptures as we do. You are agressive with us because you know we won't answer you with agression as you attack us, and that...

Jesus didn't know the content of the scroll before taking it from the hand of God in Rev. 5. The book of Revelation begins this way: Rev. 1:1 A revelation by Jesus Christ, which God gave him ... ... and here: Rev. 5:2 And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice: “Who is worthy to...

If any of you can't distinguish between Jehovah and Jesus, you don't have the slightest idea about anything related to being born again. Jehovah is God and Father of those born-again, and Jesus is brother to and joint-heir with God's anointed ones. John 20:17 Jesus said to her: “Stop clinging...
