No. But what happened on the mount of olives in acts 1 and what happened at the last supper in Jn 13-16 was a closed meeting of Jesus and the apostles. This is when these promises of power of the HS were made.

Let’s carry on to the NT. In Acts 2 Peter is quoting a prophecy from Joel and is applying it to what is taking place on Pentecost. Acts 2:21.. Whosoever shall call on the name of the lord shall be saved. He then proceeds to preach Jesus to the audience. When the audience hears and believes the...

I get the same thing every time. I ask a question. People respond with some obscure passage and no explanation. I now have to infer what you meant. When I try, you and the numerous others do the same thing....you attack my attempt to infer and make it personal. You are the one that posted...

So, do you agree that we aren’t promised the same things as the apostles at the last supper? We do have “the faith”. It is given to us in written form. Not through the direct operation of the HS. How does the Spirit bear witness? When our lives are in concert with the word the Spirit has...

Ohhh.... Even though someone raises holy hands, “accepts Jesus”, says some prayer of forgiveness for salvation; they are not really saved at that point until you can witness whether they live a good life or not? So, actually you’ll never really know if someone is saved then will you? Because...

I said the promise of the comforter in Jn 13-16 was spoken and promised directly to the apostles. They would have power given to them, literal miraculous power given them by the HS. They personally and miraculously would be led into all truth. You and I are not. BUT, when we read what they...

I’m curious as to how you know one is “truly born again”?

What do you not get?

Repentance is a change of mind. Yes. A change of mind that leads to a change in action. Does a person have to repent before they can become a child of God? In Acts 3 they were told to repent and turn to God so that there sins may be blotted out. Did their blotting come before or after...

The word “own” in Jn 1 and Jn 19 is the same Greek word and both are deployed literally. Christ came to his “own” people. Jews. That disciple took her to his “own” home. Literally his own house. in my “own” defense.... You used a commentary to refute a passage and then agreed in your post with...

Well, is repentance necessary or not?

The statement was made in the context of Jn 13-16 which is the last supper when Jesus took the Passover with the 12 apostles. During this feast he made statements like this.... John 14:26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all...

I’m sorry but did you even read Jn 19? Let’s look. John 19:26-27 When Jesus therefore saw his mother, and the disciple standing by, whom he loved, he saith unto his mother, Woman, behold thy son! Then saith he to the disciple, Behold thy mother! And from that hour that disciple took her unto...

Why is this 100% false.? Just because you say so? We know you haven’t received the power of the HG as the apostles did, because you can’t demonstrate anything. If you believe Joyce Meyer can preach and be “a pastor”, then what scripture do you base this off of? Yes, all disciples including...

Rom 4 explains who it is that receives imputed righteousness.... Romans 4:6-8 Even as David also describeth the blessedness of the man, unto whom God imputeth righteousness without works, Well who is this man he is talking about? David! Tell us..... Saying, Blessed are they whose iniquities...

No I don’t. In truth, I believe you take this passage out of context and misuse it. Let’s look at what this passage ACTUALLY says in context... John 1:11-13 He came unto his own, Who is “his own”. It not you. It’s the nation of Israel. Am I right? So, right from the start this context begins...

Who said I was abrasive? You? That’s your opinion. I have been “abrasive” to nobody. Just because the message goes against your belief does not mean I am being harsh. Only in your eyes. I call nobody names, I am not inconsiderate, I read everything people send me. I’ve even watched some of...

No. I was just making a point. Everybody has this idea that Jesus tip-toed around, never irritated anyone, never spoke negatively about anyone, never argued, never showed any anger, it was all just love,love,love. That is not the Jesus I read about in the NT. He even said he did not come to...

My thoughts would begin with this....what about repentance? Does one have to repent in order to become a child of God? I have to assume you don’t believe in repentance as a requirement for fellowship with God since all you said was.... that you received him, believed and THEN you were born...

There are no appearances on the Road to New York today and you know that. People can claim whatever they want but they can’t demonstrate anything. Paul could. Anybody can claim anything, but without demonstration it is just hearsay. How does one recognize the “anointing”? The only way to do...
