    GIFTS OF THE SPIRIT

    Good heavens Hidden in Him. You are not very hidden I am afraid as your comments seem to come from someone who is not very sanctified, certainly not Jesus. I don't have to declare myself a teacher as the Holy Spirit has already done that. Four men, in four different meetings in four different...

    Can a Christian have a demon?

    Well now Reggie boy lets educate you with a few facts. I know who Jesus is. In fact, I have known who he is for 66 years. Can you beat that? What is a bunch of looses? So we should ignore Paul's writings in the New Testament. You know being a Jew and a Jewish Rabbi? I didn't know Moses was...

    GIFTS OF THE SPIRIT

    If you can see anywhere in my posts that I have said there are only nine throughout the NT then please show me. My leading line does not suggest this. I don't know if you realize it or not but you seem to have the ability to read things into words that are not there. "These nine charismas are...

    GIFTS OF THE SPIRIT

    I am not addressing gifts outside of the nine gifts of the Spirit in 1 Cor 12. If you want to do that start your own thread. And I never said the nine in 1 Cor 12 were the only ones. I said they were the only ones I am dealing with. Just like a lecturer at Bible College if he is going to talk...

    GIFTS OF THE SPIRIT

    Sorry but I do not agree with you. When God commissioned the scriptures to be written he did not intend to confuse. 1 Cor 12 is the only passage that specifically deals with the nine gifts of the Spirit which is the focus of my thread. There are other gifts and ministries but they are not part...

    Can a Christian have a demon?

    James 5 is not talking about the 12 disciples. 1 Timothy. You do not form a doctrine on one verse of scripture. Ephesians 6. The armour is a protection from Satan.

    Can a Christian have a demon?

    Such a long, convoluted and scattered post that does not really say much except a few opinionated claims.

    GIFTS OF THE SPIRIT

    Some versions of the Bible speak about the working of miracles but its literal translation is the working of powers. The original word used is dunamis which we get our word dynamite from. This should not surprise us as the word miracles/power means miraculous power; by implication a miracle...

    Looks like you had to make quite a few concrete decisions!!

    Can a Christian have a demon?

    Your broad brush response is somewhat irrelevant. And you claim that Jesus said Jew and Greek does not exist under him only shows your lack of exegetical ability. The remark was made in terms of salvation and that anyone was accepted in him. It did not say that one had to stop being a Jew to...

    GIFTS OF THE SPIRIT

    Simple. When half of the church believes that the gifts do not apply today and the other half are too afraid of their reputations to use them in case people do not get healed, it is not surprising there is a dearth of them in the church.

    Can a Christian have a demon?

    There is no direct reference to demon possession of a believer I agree, but at the same time, there is no direct reference to any disciple having anything. Which makes me think that the Gospel stories and Acts is not intended to be a record of the failings and ailments of the disciples apart...

    Can a Christian have a demon?

    What has all that got to do with the nine gifts of the Spirit? And I have met many purebred Jews.

    I have read that 46% of pastors are hooked on porn.

    It sounds to me that you are giving us your opinion.

    Christians do not heal anyone. We are only a vehicle through which the Holy Spirit works.

    GIFTS OF THE SPIRIT

    The gifts of healing follow faith. Interesting that is says the gifts (plural), not the gift singular. 1Co 12:9 and to another, faith by the same Spirit, and to another, gifts of healing by the same Spirit, Is it the gift of healing that is plural or is it that there is a plurality of things...

    Can a Christian have a demon?

    None of them have a controlling spirit so you are wrong.

    Can a Christian have a demon?

    Neither of these verses shows that a person cannot be demon possessed if he is a Christian.
