Thanks. Then I ask: How is it possible that within a church so many people are speaking strange languages saying that it is the spirit of God, and among them there is someone possessed by demons? The logical thing is to conclude that in reality NONE of those people had the holy spirit of God...

We got many other testimonies about that modern practice. https://wol.jw.org/en/wol/d/r1/lp-e/2010735?q=Gift+of+Tongues&p=par Do you think the questions these honest Christians asked are reasonable?

"Real Supernatural Tongues" ... according to whom? To you? Some of my brothers were Pentecostal before. This brother of mine related: Read his testimony here https://wol.jw.org/en/wol/d/r1/lp-e/101976528 I believe what my brothers tell. I don't believe any internet story, since internet is...

Yes, I do. I am polyglot ... Neither do you. In the first century not many books were written because they were expensive and it was a luxury so you had to speak a lot... in many languages so that the truths of the kingdom of God would be known in far away places on earth. Today there are...

Well, if you are able to speak languages, you should also be able to write them... Why don't you show us the languages you know how to speak by writing them down? Then someone will be able to translate, as Paul says: 1 Cor. 14:5 Now I would like for all of you to speak in tongues, but I...

Two of the purposes of the first century "gift of tongues" were 1) to identify the community that truly had God's full support, and 2)to rapidly expand the truth of Christ's kingdom to territories with different languages. What today is called the same, does it fulfill any of those purposes?

Exactly. Since John died at the beginning of the second century, no one else has done through the spirit of Jehovah, any mighty work like the ones the apostles did. Where did modern "miracle artists" get the spirit to do these works if no one have been transferring those powers since John's...

I read there about "hearing God's voice" and "being able to literally converse with God" that you "received of the gifts of the Spirit (...) hearing God's voice". Anyone else listen that voice with you? Are you sure is God talking to you? I remember a few servants of God asking some proof that...

Yeah, good night ... and learn how to dance. Chkl:

So, you think I am gonna believe that YOU (whoever you call WE) do powerful works just because you say so, right? hmmx1:

I don't see any of YOU (whatever you mean with WE) doing those works. You quoting a biblical passage (that is not even in most modern translations) does not prove that YOU (those you call WE) do anything of what it says. Are you playing some kind of game? Is there any modern Christian...

Can you? :rolleyes:

Not my intention. Pointing out exactly what I said: nobody can apply to himself everything that Jesus said to the apostles ... it is not only being naive but also daring. No person today performs the miracles of the prophets, nor those of the apostles, much less those of Jesus. It is obvious...

That is a very sad mistake many believers make today: thinking that every single thing said to first century Christians apply to themselves. :( Have you read what the evil spirit said to those Jews (sons of a Jewish high riest) when they try to cast out demons using the name of the Lord Jesus...

That was the first manifestation of the anointing of the apostles and first followers of Jesus (120 in total, all of them reunited in the same place). After they move from that place, Peter gave his discourse and the rest of them start talking with people of diferent territories, so it was not...

Can you? :oops: You were not present when Christians in Jerusalem received the holy spirit directly from Jesus after he received it from the Father ... Luke 24:49 And, look! I am sending forth upon YOU that which is promised by my Father. YOU, though, abide in the city until YOU become clothed...

Yeap, it is dificult to deduce ... but there was something particular in the case of anointed Christians. Can you think on what I am talking about?

Do you think that God cannot make Satan and his demons cease to exist, even though He was the one who created them before they became what they are?

Do you think that when the holy spirit was at work in ancient Israelite men like Samson, Gideon, Saul, David and others, the process was identical to when first century Christians were anointed?

Do you think that you dancing was the spirit of God making you dance? Do you have any biblical reference to a first-century Christian (in some biblical story) who, upon being anointed with holy spirit, began to dance?
