1Co 14:1 Pursue love, and earnestly desire the spiritual gifts, especially that you may prophesy. 1Co 14:2 For one who speaks in a tongue speaks not to men but to God; for no one understands him, but he utters mysteries in the Spirit. 1Co 14:15 What am I to do? I will pray with my spirit...

If all tongues were known languages understood by all, there’d be no reason to need them interpreted in church, and when the Corinthian church forbade speaking in tongues, that means they forbade speaking in known languages that are understood - which would mean a VERY quiet church service. If...

Praying in the spirit is praying in an unknown language: 1Co 14:14 For if I pray in an unknown tongue, my spirit prayeth, but my understanding is unfruitful.

So what did Paul do with the least of the spiritual gifts? He thanked God he spoke in tongues more than anyone, and told the Corinthians he wanted them all to speak in tongues. Obviously being the so called least spiritual gift didn’t mean not using and ignoring it, as cessationists want...

When one actually studies the topic, it’s found that there is more than just one type of tongue. Paul wrote that there are DIVERSITIES of tongues, meaning more than just one kind:. 1Co 12:10 to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another the ability to distinguish...

Pentecost with the gift of tongues occurred after Jesus rose and ascended to heaven - there were no gifts of tongues until Acts 1. Thus Jesus would not tell the apostles to use a gift not given yet, during His 3 tears of ministry before the cross.

Exactly. I was going to cite that same verse, but ya beat me to it. Paul prayed in the spirit with no understanding of what he was saying, which is a personal prayer language. He also said he wanted everyone to speak in tongues, and thanked God he spoke in tongues more than anyone, then told...

The kjv translators CORRECTLY added the word unknown to the verse, because a language that IS NEVER UNDERSTOOD BY ANYONE but is the spirit speaking MYSTERIES to God, is by definition AN UNKNOWN TONGUE: 1Co 14:2 For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God: for...

That scenario is absolutely wrong. The expiration date of the gift of the Holy Spirit that the 120 at Pentecost received, is when God has stopped calling anyone. Peter said on Pentecost day, that the same gift of the HS that manifested that day, was for “us, our children those afar off, EVEN...

There is more than just one type of tongue. Paul wrote that there are DIVERSITIES of tongues, meaning more than just one kind:. 1Co 12:10 to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another the ability to distinguish between spirits, to another various kinds of tongues, to...

Sabbath keepers today just play at keeping it, they don’t obey the law connected with sabbath day keeping, such as ‘thou shalt have no fires in your habitation on the sabbath’, meaning no furnace in Siberia, no cooking fires, and no hot water heater is allowed to be in operation on the sabbath...

Excellent points!

The law given to Moses calls for the death penalty by stoning, for doing any work, such as gathering sticks, on the sabbath. And requires death penalty by stoning for adultery, for not honoring your parents, for murder, and many other offenses. If the sabbath command is still in effect, the...

What you don’t get is that after salvation by faith, believers are expected to live a godly and righteous life, and repent when they sin. And NOT doing something, such as avoiding sexual sins, is not a work, but it IS part of the believers ongoing sanctification: 1Th 4:3 For this is the will...

The rub is they don’t need citizenship - they can drive, get free insurance, SS benefits, and soon they will be allowed to vote in federal elections, if the corrupt criminals in DC get their way.

El wrongo. Romans 14 says God doesn’t care which days are honored by a believer, so stop judging that. Rom 14:4 Who are you to pass judgment on the servant of another? It is before his own master that he stands or falls. And he will be upheld, for the Lord is able to make him stand. Rom 14:5...

Rom 2:29 But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God. And here’s a bonus of truth about circumcision: Gal 5:2 Look: I, Paul, say to you that if you accept circumcision, Christ...

Try it’s absolutely accurate and right on the money. Some people idolize the sabbath to the point of idolatry, aka Sabbatholatry, which includes denying undeniable scriptures.

What I said was there are two examples of ceremonial shadows in the Old Testament, which were physical then, but spiritual now. One is circumcision, which was physical and ceremonial and ended with the old covenant. The other is the physical day of rest which was physical rest then, and the...

God took six days to create, and rested on the seventh day, as a prophetical foreshadow of their being six thousand years, or days, between Adam and the return of the last Adam (Jesus), with the thousand years of the millennium being the 7th day, aka Gods rest for His people - as taught by the...
