    No so... Some sins have a spiritual source that needs to be renounced. Willpower will no do it. Do you have a church life? Can you arrange to have time with a church leader who can assist in dealing with your spiritual challenges?

    That is not a correct view unless you are failing to confess known sin. I have yelled - that is OK. Please hang on in - it is tough but believe me you will come through. You are right to say it is not all about do,do,do,do... It is about asking for the heart desires that will result in the...

    He knows all about you and loves you. If we ask anything according to His will He hears us. It is His will for you to love Him so... ask for love for Him. If we know that He hears us, we know we receive the requests that we ask. 1 John 5:13-15 Always ask for what you know you lack - be...

    Anyone receiving a genuine gift of the Spirit of God should 'give it back' and ask for wisdom in it's use...

    Thanks for your take on it :) Yes... we are talking about a mess, however when orderly each one is expected to bring something. Yet the following context in verse 34 is that the woman are to be silent (as the Law says) although we know there were woman prophets. This however clearly states...

    Can you explain what you mean by this please... 1 Cor 14: 26 What is the outcome then, brothers and sisters? When you assemble, each one has a psalm, has a teaching, has a revelation, has a tongue, has an interpretation. All things are to be done for edification.

    St. Barnabas was born Joseph, and was an early Christian. Although not one of the original Twelve Apostles, Barnabas was referred to as an apostle by the early Christian Church (Acts 14:14.) If you read from beginning of Acts 13 - Paul was accompanied by others referred to in Acts 14:4 as Apostles.

    Then why did the church fathers refer to the office of apostle long after John died ??? Including those who were taught by the apostles themselves?

    Yes He has always been perfect. Yes He has promised to come again. Yes the evidence in signs of His Kingdom will cease when He returns.

    The gifts will cease when they are no longer needed. The 'perfect' i.e. Jesus has not yet come. (1 Cor 13:10)

    1 Cor 12 10 and to another the effecting of miracles, and to another prophecy, and to another the distinguishing of spirits, to another various kinds of tongues, and to another the interpretation of tongues. 11 But one and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing to each one...

    How do you then account for Jackie Pullinger spending her whole adult life sharing Jesus with the addicts in Hong Kong ??? The gift of tongues is prominent in her ministry which has had such impact that the Government has made available housing and resources for the believers recovering from...

    I have a few comments on this. First off when I came out of darkness by ability to see aura's disappeared as I was delivered. I used to walk into a lecture theatre and see coloured light over peoples heads. It was a dark gift. However what you describe sounds different. There was a missionary...

    "All things are lawful..."

    This definition shows lack of understanding and appreciation of what is being claimed. This definition presents the OSAS position as being 'Robotic'. When you experience the awesome presence of God to the point you are speechless for some hours as the Holy Fear of God reduces you to zero...

    "All things are lawful..."

    There are a couple of factors left out of the discussion. First, in the true believer, the indwelling Holy Spirit constrains us to His purpose in righteousness. (Acts 20:22) Second the indwelling 'Spirit of the fear of the Lord' is given to seal us to righteousness so we wont fall away. (Jer...

    John 8:24, 28, 58 - Jesus Christ IS YHWH

    I suspect that those to whom Jesus said "I never knew you" will have had a lot of knowledge.
