Yes, I agree! There certainly are a number of people from Old who were filled with the Holy Spirit. The difference of course between those filled with the Spirit of Old is that the Spirit was not permanently in them. They were filled for specific tasks, but their filling of the Spirit during...

Because the only ones knowing of the Holy Spirit being IN the faithful then were the disciples that were with Christ during His three years of ministry on the earth. They had received sufficient faith to believe the promised Messiah would come through the Spirit with them. But in is only...

It seems to me that Apollos was a man of faith through what he learned from study of the Scriptures, the Law and Prophets. He was of old a man who believed the prophesy foretelling The Messiah, Deliverer would come to redeem the faithful. He would be the faithful of Old Covenant Israel having...

What was happening in Samaria when Philip went there to preach of Christ to them? The Samaritans heard and saw the miracles Philip preformed among them, casting out unclean spirits and healing the lame. Though they had great joy through Philip, they were also confounded and confused by a...

It's not that I would call it a view for cessation of the supernatural sign gifts, but a fulfillment view. According to Peter speaking in other tongues was foretold by the Prophet Joel. Saying "in the last days" all these things Peter writes would be fulfilled. Have all the things written by...

Who was to receive this power from on high? Acts 1:6-11

You seem to be talking specifically about the supernatural miracle of speaking in unknown tongues and prophesy to authenticate both the message about Christ (Gospel) and the messenger? Are you asking if the signs given to believers in the beginning are still necessary proof for being eternally...

What do you imagine having a spirit means? It is the spirit (breath of life) that gives physical life to flesh. Everything upon the earth with the breath of life (spirit) died in the flood because they all drowned when the breath of life (spirit) was taken from their bodies of flesh...

Every living breathing creature still possessing physical life is called a "living soul."

Where did Moses get the information to write the Creation account? June 30, 2018 I understand that Moses wrote Genesis, but he was not around when God created the world. So from where and whom did he get the information how God created the world in 6 days? While the Bible itself is silent on...

Then you're arguing from silence! I believe the Bible which informs us that God spoke to Moses!

It cannot! For this reason we must be born again! It takes the Spirit of Christ in our spirit when we are born again to both know and enter the spiritual Kingdom of God. (JO 3) The spirit that gives mankind physical life came by the breath of God at creation. Since the fall man is born...

No, I don't disagree with this, except to say we became a living soul. And as long as we have the breath of life, which is spirit, we will always be a living soul. Whether in body or out of body, when our spirit is alive in human flesh, or a living spiritual body without form in heaven, we are...

The problem Rella is that you are not giving YOUR understanding. Simply repeating what others believe about biblical doctrine is fine IF you can explain how they arrived at the conclusions they have drawn. Let's first try to understand what Paul means when he tells us the God of peace will...

I rest my case!

This shows the spirit soul and body are not the same, so how should we define each one of them that we might know how God might completely or perfectly preserve His own? If man is created a three part being, you should be able to explain from the Bible what each part is and does???

Isaiah 58:5-7 (KJV) Is it such a fast that I have chosen? a day for a man to afflict his soul? is it to bow down his head as a bulrush, and to spread sackcloth and ashes under him? wilt thou call this a fast, and an acceptable day to the LORD? Is not this the fast that I have chosen? to loose...

The Spirit indeed does get our flesh under control. I was trying to point out how the Spirit in us does that by enlightening our mind and heart. Because Scripture tells us that in Christ, through His Spirit in us, we have a new heart and new spirit, which is the same as saying new mind...

Perhaps I misunderstood what you're saying??? If I didn't answer a question you asked, it was not intentional.

That's your opinion, and you're entitled to believe whatever you wish. Remember opinion without validation from the Bible remains opinion, and of no value in discerning biblical truths.
