    I witnessed someone speaking in tongues today

    Nope. The kjv is correct in its rendering. You have a personal bias against the kjv; so I see that that is where you are coming from.

    I witnessed someone speaking in tongues today

    Sometimes when a public tongue is spoken, someone who does not have the gift of interpretation will speak, utilizing a different gift of the Holy Ghost (such as word of wisdom or exhortation). In that the Holy Ghost would still be operating; but the words spoken secondarily would not match the...

    It is Holy Ghost; for the kjv is not an invalid translation.

    The Issue of Calvinism.

    God created satan; and therefore He created evil: but God did not create satan evil. The devil made a choice to enter into evil. Everything God created was good when the Lord created it. For only good comes out of the good that is God. If evil had come out from God, that would be an...

    The Issue of Calvinism.

    Romans 5:2 says, By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. With that, the Holy Spirit by Paul indicates that: --we have access into grace by Jesus Christ --we have access into grace by faith --we stand in grace because we...

    The Issue of Calvinism.

    Romans 10:13 says, Whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. With that, the Holy Spirit through Paul indicated: --Anybody and everybody is a candidate to be saved. --the condition for being saved is that we call upon the name of the Lord --that if anyone calls upon the...

    The Issue of Calvinism.

    Wow. Or, whoah. Or, Woe. You just blamed God for all of the evil in the Universe, just so you could defend your doctrine.

    Without unconditional Election,no one would be saved.

    How do you deal with people who will not even see that the scripture says what it plainly does say? One is inclined to even give up on talking to them...for they do not accept the testimony of scripture as being faithful....there is always some alternate interpretation to the interpretation...

    Without unconditional Election,no one would be saved.

    Actually, in Jude 1:3-4: Jde 1:3, Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints. Jde 1:4, For there are certain men...

    The Issue of Calvinism.

    There is still the issue of the origins of evil in the Universe. From my perspective, free will is the only logical answer that glorifies the Lord. All other answers make the Lord responsible for evil; and even the originator of it. Calvinism seems to me to take away from the basic doctrine...

    Without unconditional Election,no one would be saved.

    Here is your exegesis: 2 Corinthians 3:12 (kjv). I see that you are catering to those who have "itching" ears...therefore "Earburner would be more aptly named "ear-itcher."

    Wet Paint Principle (Freedom)

    No, but someone else implied that. Also, FYI, Freedom originated with my mind (hopefully from the Holy Spirit first) and I did not cut and paste it from another source. If you are referring to the fact that it is located also on other Message Boards, that is because of my zeal in promoting the...

    Without unconditional Election,no one would be saved.

    Rom 8:30, Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified. So, are you saying that you believe that all are predestinated unto salvation? Because here, it seems to say that no one is called apart...

    The Issue of Calvinism.

    On one side of the issue, so-called Christians are arguing that a man does not need to receive Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour in order to be saved. On the other side, Christians who desire the salvation of others are exalting the means that God has prescribed by which every man must be saved...

    The Issue of Calvinism.

    God has given a degree of sovereignty to man. If He didn't do so, then He is responsible for all of the evil that we see in the world. But the explanation that I see for evil in the world has to do with man's rebellion after satan: it had to do with a free will choice that was made to rebel...

    Wet Paint Principle (Freedom)

    Have you even read the document? One does not touch snow covering a dung heap to see if there is dung underneath because of a sign saying that there is dung underneath. The document Freedom is all about how to obtain victory in light of the wet paint principle which is something that every...

    The Issue of Calvinism.

    She really wanted to go and be at rest...this is the reason why some who are "raised from the dead" might choose to lay down and die again. It is very much like if a person is sleeping and the alarm goes off, and they hit the snooze button and go back to sleep. They had the option of waking...

    Would you like to finish your sentence? This document is, of course, based greatly on what the scripture says and teaches.
