God knew what man would do before he created him. God planed the plan of redemption before even creating Lucifer or Adam. In the end, heaven will be sinless forever with righteous and holy angels and people.

All believers can speak in unknown tongues, and don't need interpretation. We are praying God's perfect will by the Spirit. We can also heal the sick and raise the dead. We can cast out demons. We can also enjoy divine protection, the meaning of the Hebrew idiom about picking up serpents and...

Don't worry about praying in tongues yet. No one can pray in tongues anyway until they have repented and been born again of the Spirit. Yes, the Holy Spirit is drawing you, but if you are still struggling with sin and Satan then you've never been circumcised without hands. That circumcision cuts...

That is about the Book of Revelation. But we can receive personal prophecy, just as Agabus prophesied to Paul Acts 21: 9 Now this man had four virgin daughters who prophesied. 10 And as we stayed many days, a certain prophet named Agabus came down from Judea. 11 When he had come to us, he...

I responded to what was there at the time.

God also speaks to me without tongues and interpretation. Those hearing gifts are Word of Wisdom, Word of Knowledge, Prophecy, and Interpretation of tongues. Sometimes we are not to know what must happen in the future, so we are to pray in tongues individually, without interpretation Mark 16:16-18.

Obviously you don't know there are two types of tongues. Mark 16:16-18 and 1 Corinthians 12:4-9. The first is for everyone individually WITHOUT interpretation. as it isn't even in the list in Mark. The second is for ministry of receiving messages from God for the profit of all, thus requires...

So the disciples were all sinners on the Day of Pentecost? Get real! That has to do with praying to be looked on as special. Its against prideful displays. When Pentecostals lift up praise to God as a choir in tongues as they did on the Day of Pentecost, no one is listening to each other.

It is a special type of "sign which will be spoken against." It is a negative sign to unbelievers, and their unbelief will be confirmed when they think you are crazy and speaking gibberish. No one understands it naturally on earth but God. That is why He also gave us the gift of interpretation...

I was speaking to Roland N. I know you are not Calvinist, and neither am I.

I don't think you know by experience the power of Jesus' blood and how we can live in faith - which is obedience and trust. 1 John 1:9 is to receive the Holy Spirit just like Acts 2:38. How many times do you need to receive the Holy Spirit in order to be empowered to not sin? cc: @Behold Who...

When I was born again I could hear God's voice then and from then on. It was He that told me a few months later to "Now, be baptized in water." That was the fourth time, but to God, the FIRST. That was 1977, and I was called to the office of teacher by God's voice in 2000. And I agree, our sins...

also @Christophany Hi guys, haven't you seen the two different fillings of the Holy Spirit in scripture? It is only the second one we receive that is called the baptism of the Holy Spirit for ministry. Here, I'll show you. The first is to be born again of the Spirit and freed from sin (the...

I agree, and that is why I teach what I teach. I was water baptized three times BEFORE I was born again of the Spirit and my life changed. I was 30 years old. What a shock to realize for all those years of going to church thinking I was saved, God was only "drawing" me to Christ. I still hadn't...

Right. That is what I said, "They aren't even a Christian." However, they can think they are because they want to sin, but not be condemned for it, so use Jesus as a one-way ticket to heaven. Their denomination teaches them only that Jesus frees us from condemnation, but erases the "condition"...

What makes you think I don't agree with that assessment? I do. That is why I am so afraid of all these false doctrines in the Church that people believe they are saved when they don't even belong to Christ because they are not born again? Or do you believe that everyone who goes to church is...

I said: Only without the infilling of the Holy Spirit is it US TRYING to be righteous That person is not born again. They aren't even a Christian. That was the Jews of the Old Testament. They were TRYING to be righteous by following the Ten Commandments. They were legalistic, not Christians...

I agree. Isn't this what you mean? Only without the infilling of the Holy Spirit is it US TRYING to be righteous from our mind and willpower from knowing and acting on the Ten Commandments. There is no TRY with the Holy Spirit; there is only ARE. With the Holy Spirit what we do is being lead...

It would have been around the start of the New Covenant, and everyone in heaven saw it including all the angels and OT saints. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil.

Call me names. I don't care. I will still teach you the truth whether you take the advice or not. It is for your own good if you would listen once in a while. You are taking up the bad habits of the haters on the forums. I've got a thick skin.
