You are correct regarding gifts and the proper term for them as manifestations of the spirt. I simply referred to them as they are most commonly referred to today, as gifts, not manifestations of the spirit. Regarding churches of God, the letter was addressed to the church of God at Corinth, so...

A continuation of my previous post entitled "Spiritual gifts: Unconfusing them" There is obvious confusion and lack of understanding in what is meant by the scripture "and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost (Spirit)" as per Acts 2:38, versus the various miraculous spiritual gifts...

I'm a Christian who simply reads and studies the bible and trys to understand what it meant then and what it now means to us. The problem with most people is that they erroneously assume it was written to us; it wasn't, but does have peripheral meaning and application to us. We just need...

Not quite on the same page with you but for sure, this is a good and timely topic due to relative confusion of it. The gifts did diminish in importance and rightfully so. The gifts were akin to parts of the body, in this case, the body of Christ, the church. There was no written NT word, just...

Very difficult subject (spiritual gifts) which is why there's so much controversy, and equally difficult to unravel and explain. But let me explain it this way. First, look at the way Paul started his letter to the Corinthians starting at 1 Cor1:10 where he's discussing contentions and...

The sinners prayer, so-called or anything similar, is not found in the bible and will not save your soul.

Facts regarding Easter. Easter, is pagan and a pagan holiday in worship of queen Eostra which holiday coincided with the Jewish passover at the time of Jesus's crucifixion in Jerusalem. The Greek word in Acts 12:4 where the word Easter is found only once in the KJV (King James Version) bible...

When you take all the aforementioned scriptures into consideration as mentioned in my previous post #14, it suggests that the 1st day of the week and the breaking of bread participated in thereon was not a meal, but rather the time that the disciples came together as the church and remembered...

Read the following. Start with Matthew 26:26-28, then Acts 20:7, then 1 Cor 11:23-29, then 1 Cor 16:1-2. You'll see the ref to the 1st day of the week also mentioned in 1 Cor 16:1-2 regarding taking up the collection, so that in conjunction with the other verses would seem to indicate that it...

That's different. They ate their meat. That's a meal not a remembrance or honoring of the Lord as in partaking of the Lord's supper.

Every week as did the the disciples. Acts 20:7 7And upon the first day of the week, when the disciples came together to break bread, Paul preached unto them, ready to depart on the morrow; and continued his speech until midnight.

There is no record in the bible of anyone asking Jesus into their heart to be saved. 1. Belief & faith 2. Confession of belief as did the Ethiopian eunuch in Acts8 and in accordance with Romans 10:9 3. Repentance as the Jews were told to do on the day of Pentecost in Acts 2:38 4. Baptism for...

As stated, you are out to lunch. Go dip, plunge, immerse in whatever you like. Your logic is illogical. Goodbye

You are totally out to lunch. Read the account of John the Baptist in luke 3. Read the account if the Ethiopian eunuch in Acts 8. It's obvious that baptism is water baptism

Sorry, scriptures teach otherwise. You will not find a scripture that supports your claim

Water immersion, baptism for the remission of sins, had nothing whatsoever to do with the law and is the means of not only remitting sins, but adding you to the Lord's body which is the church. This is clearly spelled out in the NT writings. And as a side note, part of your ending comments said...

You'll find that spiritual baptism you're discussing only occurred as recorded in Acts 2 and 10 wherein the spirit fell on people unilaterally without the laying on of the apostle's hands and for specific purposes: as signs to others, followed by a miraculous gift of the Spirit such as tongues...

A single baptism in the name of 3 entities makes perfect sense. You aren't understanding the fact that it's their names which can't all be named, but rather it means the authority of just like you would say in the name of the king or queen you're doing this or that: it's by the authority of the...

What is the point of your rambling which has nothing to do with the discussion? The use of a capital H and lower case h does make sense. When you refer to the Holy Ghost or Spirit (one in the same) it's making reference to that being as an individual, hence the capital H. When speaking of holy...

Start with John the Baptist's comments in Luke 3:16 regarding baptism with the Holy Ghost and then the Luke 24:49 comment made by Jesus to his apostles telling them to tarry in Jerusalem until they received power from on high. As previously stated, this did occur as recorded in Acts 2 wherein...
