and @ScottA Read Acts of the Apostles 2:14+ , Peter's sermon. He points to the Day of Pentecost being the fulfillment of Joel's prophecy. The "last days are going on ever since the Day of Pentecost. As far as outpourings of the Holy Spirit, the Day of Pentecost was the early rain, and we are...

Not all who go to church are born again. But only the born again get the Spirit. He doesn't come in different sizes. But it is up to Him how much of His power He releases to a person. The more passionate someone is for Christ, the more power they will receive, along with higher gifts.

The clean meats were passed down for the first sacrifice by God, Himself. Don't forget Noah was the first person God said could eat meat. And not just clean meat but "everything that moved." It was for sacrifices that ONLY clean meat was designated. No one kept the Sabbath until it was given...

I understand where you are coming from. You've got tunnel vision that your denomination's teachings are right. But most are based on error in interpretation. That is why we have so many. Remember, it is the Bible, not your denomination, that says "without holiness, no man shall see God." So...

Wow! Such patronizing. Do yourself a favor. Copy my post to you and make a document you can read later in a few years. When you get older and grow in the Lord, take it out and see if you understand it then.

Only what the Bible says we must forgive. They would be the trespasses of each other. Matthew 6:14-15 14 “For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. 15 But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses...

Hi Matthew, The Book of Hebrews is to Jews becoming Christians. Those dead works would be "works of the flesh of the Old Testament" such as physically keeping certain Jewish only things: feasts and ceremonial circumcision with a physical knife, only eating clean meats that could be used in...

I asked you to start with verse 5. If you had you would know you are wrong about about verse 22. That was when he was STILL IN THE FLESH. Verse 5 is talking of a time when that condition is past. And Paul was speaking of himself, but not as a saved person, but as a Pharisee and still under the...

Matthew, please notice that not all of these is to a born again Christian. For instance, these are not, 5 Put to death, therefore, whatever belongs to your earthly nature: sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires and greed, which is idolatry. 6 Because of these, the wrath of God is...

Did you read Romans 7 starting with verse 5 like I asked you to in #42, that shows "being in the flesh" to be in the PAST once we are filled with the Spirit Romans 8:2 which says life in the Spirit frees us from the law of sin and death? Romans 7:14-25 is life STILL IN THE FLESH!!!!! Don't be...

Why don't you read Romans 7 in CONTEXT for once in your life and start with verse 5. If you are taking any verses between 14-23 and applying them to yourself you may or may not be right depending on if you are Jewish or a Christian. Paul is talking about those Old Testament Jews UNDER THE LAW...

It tells you WHEN that will happen. So why can't you accept what is written. Curious. When do you think tongues, knowledge and prophecy will cease?

And what about those who are born again of the Spirit? Can't we make good choices? What denomination are you that teaches that no one can make good choices?

The Day of Pentecost did not contradict the Word of God as you and many others think! 1 Corinthians 14:2 2 For he who speaks in a tongue does not speak to men but to God, for no one understands him; however, in the spirit he speaks mysteries. Can you think of a "hearing" gift in 1 Corinthians...

God knew what man would do before he created him. God planed the plan of redemption before even creating Lucifer or Adam. In the end, heaven will be sinless forever with righteous and holy angels and people.

All believers can speak in unknown tongues, and don't need interpretation. We are praying God's perfect will by the Spirit. We can also heal the sick and raise the dead. We can cast out demons. We can also enjoy divine protection, the meaning of the Hebrew idiom about picking up serpents and...

Don't worry about praying in tongues yet. No one can pray in tongues anyway until they have repented and been born again of the Spirit. Yes, the Holy Spirit is drawing you, but if you are still struggling with sin and Satan then you've never been circumcised without hands. That circumcision cuts...

That is about the Book of Revelation. But we can receive personal prophecy, just as Agabus prophesied to Paul Acts 21: 9 Now this man had four virgin daughters who prophesied. 10 And as we stayed many days, a certain prophet named Agabus came down from Judea. 11 When he had come to us, he...

I responded to what was there at the time.

God also speaks to me without tongues and interpretation. Those hearing gifts are Word of Wisdom, Word of Knowledge, Prophecy, and Interpretation of tongues. Sometimes we are not to know what must happen in the future, so we are to pray in tongues individually, without interpretation Mark 16:16-18.
