There is no such thing as "personal truth". Personal experience, yes; personal truth, emphatically no.

Let's look at the entire context: Now, let's hear what someone better informed than I speak on those verses, Matthew Henry: Once again, tongues is abused by the Corinthians and I would hazzard a guess Paul would have the same exact advice for the church today abusing that so called gift the...

What an awful premise! That will only ADD to the depression, not help it in any way. That line of thinking blames the sufferer for their malady be it depression, cancer, divorce, even the death of a loved one! We can't "faith" ourselves out of some problems. I realize some depression (even a...

Three have ceased.

Is singing in tongues in scripture?

Completely and utterly wrong. How many times does Scripture (and therefore God) entreat us to not be downcast or worried or fearful? There is only one thing all Christians receive, forgiveness of our sins. We aren't turned into sinless superhumans, we don't become immune to the problems and...

Again, he is correcting them. He is claiming he has those gifts and is disappointed in their abuse is them. The more perfect has come, the completed scripture. Tongues as a Spiritual Gift is ceased, and thankfully so. (null)

Then imitate 1Cor 14:19. (null)

Seems like our two threads are reruns :)

You can go to a Stryper concert for that as well. What's the difference?

Everytime Paul was speaking to the Corinthians about tongues he was correcting them, never complimenting them. Seems a bad lot to admire when they did nothing but get it wrong.

Everytime Paul is giving instruction about Tongues, he is correcting their misuse, never complementing the Corinthian church nor even encouraging them to continue (1 Cor 14:19). It appears to me that, today, to try to emulate the Corinthians in this enterprise has already been dealth with 2,000...

Holly, if you believe it is a sinful act (though the scripture is silent on it), and yet you still do it, then you have sinned against your conscience and also against the Holy Spirit for placing that conviction in your conscience. Redeemed, I agree with Tom on this one. The scirpture is...

I am with Paul the Apostle on this one: "But in the church I would rather speak five intelligible words to instruct others than ten thousand words in a tongue." (1 Cor 14:19) You can babble all you want and feel good about it, that's fine with me. I, personally, would much rather receive the...

No, I do not.

Joyce has got it wrong on two essential doctrines, the atonement and sinless perfection. In a nutshell, Joyce claims Jesus paid the price for our sin in hell. That is wrong, and damnably wrong. Jesus atoned for our sin on the cross, period... not in hell. Secondly, Joyce claims she is no...

!!!!710 Ooops... that's upside down... OIL!!!! Now, that's better. Bush did it! And Haliburton! And Global Warming! And the vast Right Wing Conspiracy! And Walmart! And...

If that is your answer then that is a good one. If that is the measure given to you then that is the measure you use.

For the sake of this argument, God is out playing tennis with Ernest Angely that afternoon. No healing, no last minute miracles. This is life or death. I want people to THINK with their faith with this question, not just sit there and hope for the best like a spiritual bump on the log.

The Rapture Doctrine is not a necessary ingredient for salvation. One need not to decide that in order to know how to live their lives in a Godly and Righteous manner. My considered opinion is this: If we spend all our time with our noses in the Bible trying to discern this or that we've...
