I think you should give up discussing things you know nothing about. You have also misquoted Luke 8:10. Paul did not write in parables when he penned 1 Corinthians 14. His teaching was totally clear and direct. Furthermore you can't even quote 1 Corinthians 14:2 correctly. Paul is not...

Your are avoiding Paul's direct words. He clearly says that when he is speaking in tongues he is praying directly to God. You are deliberately misapplying clear Scripture. "There is none so blind who will not see."

This has been known to happen. A woman went to preach the Gospel to an Italian community. As she started to preach she found she was preaching in Italian, a language she had never learned. She retained the language for the rest of her life. I think it was St Francis of Assisi who tried to...

1 Corinthians 14:2 says that a person speaking in tongues is speaking to God. Isn't that praying? What would you call it?

Duplicate post, and quoting me twice in both posts. Vain repetition??? ;);)

It's not the people who should have been humiliated by the deception. It is the worship leader who allowed a stranger to give the utterance who should be disciplined for allowing it to happen. I have been a member of a Pentecostal church with a very godly pastor who if a stranger got up and...

Jesus wasn't referring to praying in tongues here. You are twisting the Scripture to mean something that Jesus never meant. Heathen prayers are repetitious incantations, saying the same words over and over again. Some church people do the same when chanting the liturgy in church. They mouth...

There is a big difference between a researcher visiting a church as an observer, taking no part in the proceedings, and someone who comes in and performs something false and deceptive in order to trap people into making the mistake that the person is doing something genuine. Actually, if the...

This looks like a lot of generalized gobbledegook to me. I can't see the point of it.

The internet is like our roads and motor vehicles. It is how it is used. A motor vehicle can be of great use if used rightfully, but it can kill in irresponsible hands. Who was it who said that guns don't kill people, people do. A person commenting on that said, "My pencil failed my final...

We have to be careful about interpreting apocalyptic literature. The genre is highly symbolic and the readers of the 1st Century knew the keys to the symbols. We are at a disadvantage because 2000 years later, we no longer have those keys in the same way that the 1st Century believers had...

1. Did the linguist make his intentions clear to the people in that church that what he was about to speak was a language he had learned and knew the meaning, and that it was going to be a test for them? If not, he behaved as a liar and deceiver. 2. Did you voluntarily submit yourself to...

Can you provide a citation for the event? At present it sounds like a fictional horror story to fool people into thinking it actually happened. If you are making up a story and presenting it as something that actually happened, then who is the liar? If it did really happen, then if the...

That doesn't make sense. The Scripture plainly says no one can come to Christ unless the Father draws him. This clearly says that the Father has to first draw the person before they can come to Christ. So the fact that a person believes the Gospel and comes to Christ means that the Father has...

I've heard that one before. The linguist was a liar and a deceiver in that he did not declare his intention when he did what he did. The person who interpreted the language did it in good faith, not knowing that the linguist was deceiving the people. One day, that linguist will have to stand...

Note 1 Corinthians 1:1: "Unto the church of God which is at Corinth, to them that are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, with all that in every place call upon the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, both their's and our's" Therefore, Paul's letter and the contents were to be...

You missed out the Scripture: "No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him. And I will raise him up on the last day" (John 6:44).

In all my years of associating with Pentecostals, I have never seen or experienced what you have described. The Pentecostal movement in New Zealand must be entirely different to what you have experienced. All I have seen are groups of people who just enjoy and have fun worshiping the Lord and...

God never created dead people. All mankind became spiritually dead because of Adam's sin. God created Adam to produce a race of human beings to fellowship with Him in love. But Adam failed to obey His instructions, and brought sin and death upon mankind. But it was the second Adam, Jesus, who...

I believe that God is sovereign in all His choices and that I am so thankful that He chose to enlighten me with the Gospel, gave me the faith to receive Christ, and through the Holy Spirit made Himself real to me. I believe that I am saved through his unmerited grace through nothing that I...
