    Public Apology

    I've taken every person I had on the ignore list off of it. Here's the deal. I've got to be able to stand toe to toe with anyone. Sometimes I don't understand harshness and try to avoid harmful words. One trick I employ is to let both barrels go in a post saying exactly how angry I am. Then I...

    The good fight of faith. 2 Timothy 4:2-5 KJVS Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine. [3] For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers...

    Dave said; God withdrew the gifts. What about the unchangeability of God? What about Ecclesiastes PI? Ecclesiastes 3:14 KJVS I know that, whatsoever God doeth, it shall be for ever: nothing can be put to it, nor any thing taken from it: and God doeth it , that men should fear before him. I...

    Dave said ; First century tongue speakers knew what they were saying. Really? What about... 1 Corinthians 14:2 KJVS For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God: for no man understandeth him ; howbeit in the spirit he speaketh mysteries. Since some tongues are...

    Words of knowledge are not needed? Healings are not needed? Discernment of spirits is not needed? These are denominational arguments that don't hold water. You say you are not denominational yet all your arguments are typical Baptist.

    Then you have an experience not reflected in the new testament.

    By the Holy Spirit the Lord showed me the teaching hand that lowered to a convicting one. These things are spiritually given and discerned. The Holy Spirit is ever teaching.

    Regarding the Holy Spirit and His gifts I believe...

    In the events of Acts chapter 8 these were already believers, baptized in the name of Jesus yet they were prayed for on a clearly separate occasion to receive the Holy Spirit. This was not on the day of Pentecost. Cornelius and those in Acts chapter 10 were already believers received the Holy...

    You are wrong. Which scriptures have taught you this? 1. Being born in the of the spirit is not the same as 2. Being baptized, filled with the Holy Spirit. You disregard scriptures previously posted. Scriptures plainly showing separation of initial beliefs from Holy Spirit baptism. I will...

    Victory in Jesus said; Satan worshipper and atheists have received a warmer welcome than Dave...just because he doesn't agree and has a different pov. We have a mandate to preach the gospel which includes all of it. Shrinking back from those contrary to what is plainly written is not the way...

    A forum is just that. You're not going to believe what I do and I'm not turning my back on four decades of seeking God.

    Then why pray tell, do you deny us the same right?

    Regarding the Holy Spirit and His gifts I believe...

    Dave, why are you here? To edify, build up, encourage? Denominational dogma is not edifying. If we only have scripture why did Jesus say; John 10:27 KJVS My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: As a sheep what does Jesus say to you regarding these things? Do you deny He...

    Regarding the Holy Spirit and His gifts I believe...

    The disciples were believers yet didn't have the Holy Spirit until Pentecost. Believers in Acts 19 hadn't received the Holy Spirit baptism until Paul preached to them. Acts 19:2 KJVS He said unto them, Have ye received the Holy Ghost since ye believed? And they said unto him, We have not so...

    Regarding the Holy Spirit and His gifts I believe...

    Dave I really just feel sorry for you. You've never had the gift of the baptism of the Holy Spirit or you could not deny Him or His gifts. By the arguments you present you reveal the coaching you have had from your denominational teachers. I've heard all this misinterpretation and lack of...

    Regarding the Holy Spirit and His gifts I believe...

    Dave: When did God tell you that gifts, were not for now? You claim to be a believer then surely you hear from God? What exactly did he show you to let you know that these things were false? Even Santa Claus were he real, would be offended if his gifts were rejected. You cannot believe the...

    What I do with snakes, spiritual or otherwise. This four foot timber rattler found a home in my son's car's engine compartment. His head and other parts were bruised.

    I praise God daily He saved me outside church walls. So much religious doctrine I didn't have to have surgically removed. I didn't know you weren't supposed to ask God for stuff so I asked Him and He did it. Still does. I'm old and beat up and needed to have the trees on the steep hillside in...

    Denominations are man's creation and not God's. The believers were first called Christians at Antioch. Jesus was fighting religion when walking around Jerusalem. It's the same today only multitudinous malignant religion is at stage IV. Horrification results on my part at those who are more...
