    Tongues

    Except Paul said there’s a gift of tongues that not everyone has, yet Jesus says there’s a type of tongue that’s a sign that follows those who believe. Paul: 1Co 12:28 And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts...

    Tongues

    The bottom line is that after explaining the use of the spiritual gifts of tongues and prophecy in the church, and saying they should all speak in tongues, and saying he prayed in tongues more than anyone, and telling them to seek the gifts of tongues and prophecy, and telling them to forbid not...

    I said that spiritual gifts are for those who are saved, and not to GET saved. Is that not clear enough?

    I said just the opposite, look again.

    The only way post-Pentecost, to be filled with the Holy Spirit- another already spirit filled believer lays hands on you.

    Tongues

    Yeah, how heinous can you get, seeking the GIFTS promised to those who believe, maybe we should forgo the gift of salvation, since it’s wrong to seek gifts God wants us to have. Should Paul should have consulted you before writing this?: 1Co 12:30 Have all the gifts of healing? do all speak...

    Tongues

    Tongues and spiritual gifts are for those saved, not to get saved. Yes there are specialized gifts not everyone has that the HS gives as He wills, BUT there are gifs that are inclusive of “those who believe” including tongues and healing the sick by laying on of hands, per Mark 16. And Jesus...

    Jesus Christ the healer and Word of God

    Physical healing Is part of the Atonement of Jesus, that’s why the word SOZO is translated interchangeably as both SAVED and HEALED in the New Testament - because the word means to be completely made whole, spiritually, emotionally and physically, NOT just spiritually. G4982 (Strong)...

    Jesus Christ the healer and Word of God

    God uses different ways of healing - James 5:13 says if you’re sick go to church and the elders will anoint you with oil and the prayer of faith will heal you. Some get healed by learning that Jesus already healed us by His stripes, and giving God thanks and praise that they were already...

    Jesus Christ the healer and Word of God

    You’re mistaking being healed of sickness with having immortality. We are allotted X amount of years by God, and many Christians pass peacefully in their sleep, not from illness, but because their allotted time was up. When Moses died he was in great health. Scripture says his eye was not dim...

    Tongues

    Actually the scriptures are clear that all spiritual gifts end when Jesus returns and they aren’t needed anymore. Peter said they. are for all who God shall call. Paul said charisma gifts last until Jesus returns. 1 Corinthians 13 says tongues prophecy and knowledge end at the same time, yet...

    And the rest of what Paul said was that they all should speak in tongues in the Corinthian church, and that he spoke in tongues more than anyone, and ordered them to forbid not speaking in tongues. You can’t use the letter Paul wrote to that church, where he imparts to then spiritual gifts to...

    Tongues

    There’s a specialist gift of tongues that’s given in church and interpreted, and then there’s the personal prayer language tongue that is a sign that follows all those who believe.

    Tongues

    It’s not arbitrary to refute the unlearned claim of cessationists that tongues are only one kind and understood by all who hear, when scripture says there’s an unknown tongue that no man ever understands. That doesn’t require rocket science level understanding to discern that the claim is...

    Tongues

    Paul said there are diversities of tongues, meaning more than one. There’s irrefutably an unknown tongue UNDERSTOOD BY NO MAN, ever: Co 14:2 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...

    Rom 8:26 Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. Joh 11:33 When Jesus therefore saw her weeping, and the Jews also weeping which came with...

    Tongues

    Jesus never got the cessationist memo: he said those who believe have signs of tongues and healing following them, in Mark 16, and that those who believe can do the same works Jesus did, in John 14:12. Peter also missed that memo: he said the same gifts of the Holy Spirit that came on Pentecost...

    Spiritual gifts end only when Jesus returns and they aren’t needed anymore.

    Tongues

    Tongues aren’t a sign for believers, because they follow those who believe. They don’t need to seek signs, signs follow them.

    Tongues

    Come on, words have specific meaning. The signs are speaking in tongues and healing the sick. Young’s literal translation: Mar 16:17 'And signs shall accompany those believing these things; in my name demons they shall cast out; with new tongues they shall speak; John Wesley the founder...
