If you have a weak stomach, don't read Maccabees. The torture depictions are gruesome. Personally, I believe the Epistle of Barnabas is missing from our New Testament. It was read in all the early churches and was believed to be the work of the apostle Barnabas who traveled with Paul. Of...

So make one. Or tell me what you believe tongues had to do with writing scripture?

God does lead by the gifts, so it is not off topic to discuss them.

Dave used to be a Charismatic for years, but he lost his faith. It is not your fault if it is impossible to renew him to repentance. 4 For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted the heavenly gift, and have become partakers of the Holy Spirit, 5 and have tasted the...

What do you see was different then?

I was responding to this, silly: "But some of the gifts found their replacement by scripture which is far more trustworthy."

You can't prove that by scripture, unless you twist the author's meaning (like you are doing).

You'll never know.

I'm not saying that the pope isn't the Antichrist, and not the false prophet, but I'm not going to go into tunnel vision mode like the SDA's are against the RCC. We also need peripheral vision, if you get my drift.

That is a SDA publication you know. The Antichrist will not be a religious leader, but a political one. The false prophet will be religious.

Me! :)

They are still partially blinded UNTIL the fullness of the Gentiles comes in. The last seven years before the second coming are for the Jews. All Gentiles that are going to be saved will have already come into the Church, and the gospel reverts back to saving national Israel.

If we don't know WHO the Antichrist actually is, we may inadvertently take His mark to buy and sell.

John warned about the Nicolaitan Gnostics 1 John 4:1-3, Revelation 2:6; not the Jews of Romans 11.

You don't receive the baptism of the Holy Spirit from baptism, but from repentance. Cornelius and his household received the baptism of the Holy Spirit and then they baptized them in water.

Romans 11 preaches against that teaching of replacement theology.

Like what? Tongues were for preaching to foreigners?

That is because you don't have any gifts, therefore, nobody else can either. I've heard that before by Cessationist writers. God is not going to give you something you abhor.

First the person must repent. You believe Calvin and got the cart before the horse again.

If that is what you want to believe according to scripture, fine; but to me according to scripture baptism is by obedience after we are born again, which means we have repented and been filled with the Spirit. Many never repent and are baptized to join a denomination. That is not true baptism...
