    Here Is Where the "Pentecostal" False Witness of God's Spirit Can Be Seen.

    Same here. I received the baptism with the Spirit on a weekday afternoon while sitting on my bed in the youth hostel where I was living at the time.

    I will take that on board and consider it.

    Here Is Where the "Pentecostal" False Witness of God's Spirit Can Be Seen.

    Because the Gospel is not about me at all. I'm just a poor sinner and nothing at all, but Jesus Christ is my all in all. So, it is all about what Jesus did for me when He suffered, died on the Cross, then rose again to give victory over the grave. So, my testimony is that I am a miserable...

    Here Is Where the "Pentecostal" False Witness of God's Spirit Can Be Seen.

    I can't speak for myself, and I won't. But there are nine - love, joy, peace, gentleness, kindness, goodness, patience, faithfulness, and self control. The fruit of righteousness is for others around us so that they see Christ in us.

    Here Is Where the "Pentecostal" False Witness of God's Spirit Can Be Seen.

    We demonstrate the truth of the Gospel to the world around us through the fruits of righteousness that the Holy Spirit does in us.

    Here Is Where the "Pentecostal" False Witness of God's Spirit Can Be Seen.

    In the same way that James and Jude, the brothers of Jesus did not believe in Him until after His resurrection. God is very patient and does things to encourage people to believe the Gospel. If we look at the example of Gideon, we see that God was very patient with him, giving him signs and...

    You are correct. I've not been trained to speak for anyone. I will remember that. Thanks for sharing it with me.

    Here Is Where the "Pentecostal" False Witness of God's Spirit Can Be Seen.

    My question to you is, how can you demonstrate that you are actually saved apart from the Scripture telling that you are through your obedience to the invitation of the Gospel to receive Christ as Saviour?

    Here Is Where the "Pentecostal" False Witness of God's Spirit Can Be Seen.

    We need to be careful of generalising such a diverse movement to make them all appear that they believe the same thing. This is because there are many branches of the Pentecostal movement, ranging from those who have their faith soundly based in God's Word and are strict in validating any...

    Election, Reprobation, as taught in Church History.

    Full salvation won't be confirmed until the Day of Judgment and will be on the basis that the person has persevered in trusting the finished work of Christ on the Cross right to the end. There will be those who have made a profession of Christianity and looked as though they would see it...

    Forgiveness. Must we forgive ALL sins against us?

    We have all sinned and therefore are under the same condemnation. Every one of us has to appear before God at the Judgment. We won't be saved because of anything done in us, or whether we are more holy than the person next to us. The truth is that the presence of sin is still with us and if...

    Mahdi and Jesus

    Allah can't save anyone. Jesus is the only Person who saves.

    Biblical Mary

    Was his vision that of Mary as the whore of Babylon? I don't think that Mary's name was mentioned. It seems that some have speculated that the whore of Babylon is Mary, but I doubt that John saw it that way. The record certainly does not say that John revered or worshiped the woman in any...

    Biblical Mary

    The reality is that seeing that the real Mary's body is in the grave and her spirit is with the departed godly in Paradise, the "Mary" that is being reverenced as the Queen of Heaven is actually an idol. Paul says in 1 Corinthians 10 that those who give reverence to idols are actually serving...

    Biblical Mary

    I believe that there are different factions of the LDS, and what I have said is taught by one of them, and may not be taught by the faction you belong to. However, it was not the actual point I was making, rather it was to refute the notion that Mary's eggs were fertilized by God, which is not...

    Biblical Mary

    God fertilizing a woman's egg comes close to Mormon doctrine, where God had sex with Mary and produced two sons, Jesus and Lucifer.

    Biblical Mary

    Yes. Jesus certainly did not acknowledge his mother as the Queen of Heaven.

    Biblical Mary

    All imagination arising from misquote of Scripture.

    Biblical Mary

    Mariology is nothing more than fiction. Peter would have known Mary, but never saw her as anyone other than a fellow believer who was baptised with the Holy Spirit along with the 118 others on the day of Pentecost. It is doubtful that Paul ever met Mary, so he would have had no personal...

    Biblical Mary

    The real Mary died along with all the others and her body is in a grave somewhere. Her spirit is with the godly spirits awaiting to the raised on the last day. She is not the Queen of Heaven. She is DEAD and no longer has any influence on the living. If you think you are reverencing the...
