Nope. Of course. The Holy Spirit bearing witness with YOUR spirit that you're a child of God. Those who are Born Again are indwelled by the Holy Spirit, and so we know. Those who are "Tares" in the church, have no idea what that even is.

Yup - And since I have FAITH (gifted by God) in His SIN OFFERING on the cross, I'm also Born Again of the Holy Spirit. Next question?

However, it's intrinsic, that if you are under HIS authority, and ACTUALLY HAVE His authority, you'll be aware of it. If you're not aware that you have His authority - then you don't. Simple as that. DOesn't mean that He won't answer prayers of petition in his grace, but you'd best not try to...

Division is intrinsic in the Visible church.

Define: "Start of the salvation journey" according to your sect's doctrine.

Totally disagree Sanctification (A Religious buzz word to means different things to different religious paradigms) is two-fold. Positionally we're immediately Sanctified upon being Born Again by receiving the INDWELLING Spirit. Experimentally, we take HIS YOKE upon us, and begin to LEARN...

BINGO!!! "Baptism in water" has nothing to do with being Born again, or becoming a Christian. It's something we do IN MEMORY of Him. Nope - it would just mean that ROME Has NO REAL IDEA WHY THEY DO IT other than their "Tradition".

"In Jesus' NAME = with Jesus' AUTHORITY. As the centurion said: "I am a man under authority, and as a a result I HAVE authority". So a person under Jesus' authority, HAS authority as a result of that relationship. If you don't know what authority you HAVE, then you're apparently NOT under Jesus'...

One of my favorites by William Hunter 1882. The "Land of Beaulah" was not "Heaven", but appears in "Pilgrims Progress" as the land of rest in LIFE where "Christian" finally arrives after getting through all his struggles and coming to a place of peace in the Lord (Akin to the Wesleyan...

What part of NO didn't you get??

According to your definition, then NO. Next question??

"Enlightenment" is nothing but another religious "Buzz word", with a boatload of different meanings. Flesh it out more if you want a real answer.

And all the MAJOR Historic Pentecostal, and CHarismatic groups agree: "Baptism in the Holy SPirit with signs following" IS NOT related to "Being Born again". One exception would be the Oneness Pentecostals (UPCI) that DO require tongues before they'll let you be saved. Of course they have...

My Bible has more that one chapter. I have no reason (from my own personal experience in the Spirit) to believe that "Tongues" in 2022 is any different (in it's many variations) than "Tongues" in the Apostolic Churches. I suggest you pull off your cessationist glasses, and read 1 Cor 12-14 for...

Folks try to jam ALL of tongues into one "package" and claim that it's ONLY THIS, and never anything else. In fact "tongues" is simply a subset of "Prophetic utterance" - i.e. the person is given words by the Holy Spirit and simply speaks them without adding to, or diminishing them, when they...

So- youve never read 1 Cor 14, then??

Right!!! The term is "Progressive Sanctification" - maturing in the Faith. When a person is FIRST SAVED, they're pretty IGNORANT, since the "Kingdom of God" had been invisible up to that point. THEN we "Take HIS YOKE UPON US", and begin to "Learn of HIM".

Amd, of course that happens today (unless you're ready to write off missionaries as bald faced LIARS). But if you'd care to be HONEST Biblically, you should probably read 1 Cor 14, where additional aspects of the charisma of Tongues are presented.

This is the normal cessationist rationalization of the "Charisma" which have nothing to do with "natural talents". I'm naturally talented in Engineering, and Music, but had to DEVELOP both into real activities (Engineering pays well, and Music is a passion). Supernaturally gifted tongues...

BINGO!! Tongues are sometimes the BEST GIFT depending on the situation. WE Stupid Humans tend to want to rank everything, and the silly Corinthians actually were "competitive" with their gifts: "I work MIRACLES, and all you do is HEAL people. I'm better than you - in fact I don't need You AT...
