I'll stand in that line. I'm not there yet but I am not opposed to trying life abounding. I've got the abased part down pat ;)

How to discern the false? That is easy; know the true doctrine so well that when a false teaching pops up it is instantly recognized as something else than the truth of the scripture.

Hiya Mongo!

I can't tell you how many times someone has come up to me and said, "I forgive you for being such a jerk." ;)

There are actually 10 kinds of Men: those who understand binary and those who do not.

Show me a church that does all that and I'll show you an empty building. An over romanticized view of sin and the church leads to error just as much as an over legalistic view does in your case.

Addiction is defined as: "the state of being enslaved to a habit or practice or to something that is psychologically or physically habit-forming to such an extent that its cessation causes severe trauma." I don't believe God wants us addicted to anything, even Himself. Does He (and Christ) not...

Like my wife, yeah... like a boiling pot of tea, no. It's not even warmer than 100 years ago much less several thousand.

Hey, try this for the new cover photo...

You made my point in both your citations. They performed the miracle and then pointed to Christ, not the Holy Spirit or a Spiritual Gift they posessed. The Holy Spirit is nowhere in site in either of those citations. I will admit the credit I gave them for taking credit for the miracle was a...

Then those times when you pray for those healings is not a Spiritual Gift being used! You are asking for intervention by the Holy Spirit. Look at the times Paul or Peter healed, they never failed, even once. They also took credit for that miracle. They performed it in the name of Christ, not...

Just to clarify... you said: (emphasis yours) and the passage you quoted: Execution and Distribution are two different concepts entirely. Besides, in your first line, if it is the Spirit that is executing the "gift", then it is no gift at all! Again, I labor the point, what you are...

BroT, that is a common thread here... to be labled as satan or unsaved because we dare to shine a light of reason upon those who have not gotten past their feelings.

If the power is from the Holy Spirit then what you have is a monegistic work of the Spirit, not a Spiritual Gift to be used solely at the discression and volition of the Christian. A Spiritual Gift is given ONCE to the believer (at converstion) for the use BY the believer for the execution of...

Isn't it interesting that the Narrow Road and the Wide Road are labled exactly the same, "Heaven."

Number 5 is a double edged sword... I am often accused of attacking Spiritual Gifts because I deny several of them are extant during the Church Age. I, however, seek only to build up the gifts we are told are more excellent than those, and defend and build up the Gifts that the Church...

Not this nonsense again... :roll:
