    Miracles, healing, tongues, and the interpretation of tongues were temporary sign gifts limited to the apostolic age and have, therefore, ceased.

    I would in all sincerity like to recommend you lay what you believe about this subject on the altar and ask God about it. James 1:5-6 If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. But let him ask in faith, nothing...

    Perseverance of the Saints is different from Once Saved Always Saved

    Building with wood hay and stubble is not the same thing as falling away and living in sin. We must endure to the end to be saved....that is the patience/perseverance of the saints. God's gracious promises and His ability/power are based on the assumption or condition of not falling away but...

    Assassination attempt against Trump…

    Amen. Believers praying with unbelievers at political events or any venue......is one way to get believers infected with the spirit of the world. God says to be not unequally yoked and come out from among unbelievers and be ye SEPARATE......touch not the UNCLEAN thing.......mixture is unclean...

    Assassination attempt against Trump…

    They have had different people praying at the Republican convention....Catholic priest and a Sikh lady. Maybe others I haven't seen. Just to say if they allowed even just those two...........how many believers were "amen-ing" their prayers? Well this is a sneaky and subtle way to draw souls...

    Huh? Strange question.....what on earth makes you ask that? Is it because I'm not responding to all your posts...? I'm not keeping up today at all....too much on my plate at the moment.

    No it is not for us to control or dictate to Him, isn't that what I've been saying? :)........the Lord does as He wills, often spontaneously........but also, we certainly may ask Him, in general terms or specific. We certainly may present our requests to God........and if we ask according to...

    The point is that this passage is not just talking about the process of being born of the Spirit, but also the new nature of the one who is born of the Spirit.............."so IS everyone who is born of the Spirit".......we now have the same nature as the Spirit who blows where it willeth and...

    I'm sorry to not be able to parse through and process all your lengthy posts brother. Short on time today as well. But no I haven't forgotten that some gifts are mentioned in scripture....just saying it is not an exhaustive list.

    Leaders That Don't Support Good Works or Overcoming Sin

    You are mischaracterizing people here brother. It doesn't seem that we can define and make a list of "all the gifts".... the Holy Spirit just does as He pleases. I dont' believe the examples written in scripture are exhaustive as such. The word "gift" is just to show it comes freely from...

    I just want to say that people can start out well enough but fall prey to the flesh and carnal interests along the way. That seems to be the pattern with many who are false 'ministers' today. Think it might be going too far to say regarding Luther that the "whole thing" was necessarily "based"...

    Reading carefully we will see that those five gifts are not separate from all other gifts given to all members of the Body of Christ. There is to be NO SCHISM in the Body. "Five-fold" is so named by the carnal mind of men...it is not written in scripture. (Fancy names of extra-biblical...

    Leaders That Don't Support Good Works or Overcoming Sin

    Brother, the point is just that "Without the need for experiences and new revelations" is proved wrong by what is written about Paul's experience alone. Not everyone is an apostle, no, but everyone does have their own gifts according as the Spirit wills. "Every good and perfect gift comes down...

    Written for our admonition, as the apostle wrote. I believe it speaks to the importance of not compromising. I wonder if on one level "the land" speaks to taking ground as regards to ourselves personally, our earthen vessels.....doing battle with the enemy and taking ground in our own hearts...

    Brother....I certainly agree. God's remnant is not the visible mega-conferences and televised on-air bluster and hype that we have so often seen. So many "claiming" titles and authority for themselves, when God's people are for the most part simply "found" doing what they do according as God...

    Times of persecution and hardship usually seems to correlate with more grace and power in the church historically, from what I understand...? Think it also serves to help get rid of nonsense doctrines in the church and that in itself would be one reason for having more grace and power. For...

    Bible says the Holy Spirit will lead us into all truth and show us things to come. Whoever wrote the above is adding to the word in red letters....the bible doesn't say "without the need for new experiences or additional revelations." What about Paul's experience and the revelations that he...

    God always keeps for Himself a remnant though. The early church that experienced great grace was itself a remnant of the nation of Israel.

    Trump shot at and injured but alive

    Think there are not many true believers in government, or anywhere really. God only has a remnant. No of course no-one should do anything that violates God's laws.
