You are called to defend the faith in Jesus Christ. You are not called to defend tongues for how special you are from the rest of the body of Christ. God would not manifest His gifts to support apostasy. He would expose it. Therefore all miraculous stories are circumspect. A time may very...

We are called to not believe every spirit but test them in 1 John 4:1-4 and the tongues they bring in 1 John 4:5-6 to make sure we do not wind up speaking as the world speaks in tongues. This church in Revelation was doing it. Revelation 2:18 And unto the angel of the church in Thyatira write...

It is an ordinance for new believers to follow as His disciples but hardly a requirement for salvation. It is standing apart from the truth and thus apostasy for sure as a work denying Him as being able to save any that believe even on His name to be saved. John 1:12 But as many as received...

You defend tongues for private use gained by an extra phenomenon of what you believe was the Holy Spirit coming over you later in life, do you not? We agree to disagree.

Not really. When you call a pagan supernatural tongue that was evil, but now good as if God's gift of tongues can switch mode and be used for private use, there is something wrong with that. God is not the author of confusion, but you seem to think He can be. And so any miraculous stories...

I defend the real God's gift of tongues against the pagan's tongues of gibberish nonsense that has been in use before Pentecost & still in use today.

To interpret the tongues for everybody to understand, especially the tongue speaker, in order to edify the body of believers. 1 Corinthians 14:3 If therefore the whole church be come together into one place, and all speak with tongues, and there come in those that are unlearned, or...

There cannot be two types of speaking in tongues when Paul stated in chapter 12 what the manifestations of those gifts were for; to profit the body withal. So that means tongue speakers for private use are reading inbetween the lines deviating from the message that Paul was saying plainly. To...

You are assuming that baptism is about water baptism rather than the baptism with the Holy Ghost that Jesus baptizes you by for believing in Him.

If you are going through temptations, that is a good time to pray. 1 Corinthians 10:13 There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that...

No, because the Gentiles had received the Holy Spirit before they were commanded to be water baptized. Do note how they receive the remission of sins which is by believing in Jesus Christ. Acts 10:43 To him give all the prophets witness, that through his name whosoever believeth in him shall...

Putin will win. ;) Blame those Russian hackers.

You were trying to say that all references to brothers of Jesus was just to spiritual brothers, and not natural brothers; but that is not the case below. Matthew 12:47 Then one said unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to speak with thee. 48 But he answered and...

It does make one wonder when a life long Catholic discovers they have been lied to when defending the CC for all this time, that he would be tempted with pride and shame not to repent because of it. He is our brother so pray for him. Maybe the Lord will give life long Catholics the love they...

Acts 2:5 And there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men, out of every nation under heaven. 6 Now when this was noised abroad, the multitude came together, and were confounded, because that every man heard them speak in his own language. 7 And they were all amazed and marvelled, saying one...

Then explain how He deferred from his natural mother and natural brothers to refer to His spiritual mothers and spiritual brothers then. Matthew 12:47 Then one said unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to speak with thee. 48 But he answered and said unto him...

Okay.

Luther did not prune everything Catholic when he had left. Some Protestant churches today still use that word "sacrament" which was not a term for us to use as part of the traditions handed to us from the N.T. The term "sacrament" makes something more than what it is and since its origin is a...

Anybody can read Acts 2 nd chapter to know how God's gift of tongues was used that day on Pentecost, and it wasn't gibberish nonsense but a foreign language understood by devout foreign Jews visiting Jerusalem that day.

When it comes to holidays, Christians need not concern themselves about origins when they are honoring the Lord that day. If pagans knew how to get Christians to not honor the Lord on a certain day, they could make every day a pagan holiday and then what? So how others celebrate the day does...
