    Miracles and certain spiritual gifts

    Are you not implying that Jesus has already come back in person?

    Miracles and certain spiritual gifts

    By the way, I am referring solely to your Cessationist belief, and not any negative reflection on your genuine Christian faith - because your other doctrinal posts are fully supported by Scripture, and I have supported your posts when you have posting sound doctrine. I love John MacArthur's...

    Miracles and certain spiritual gifts

    We don't have to prove anything to you at all. You are making doctrinal statements about tongues and prophecy without any scriptural support. I assert that you are deceived by a lying spirit and you are quite free to prove me wrong.

    You can't say that here. I said that the Charismatic movement has been invaded with occult and pagan mind-control, which is true; but to save that the movement and its spirit is not of God is not and is against this forum's rules.

    He is, like other Cessationists, deceived by a lying spirit quoting half-verses out of context.

    Miracles and certain spiritual gifts

    Well, with much of the church still in bondage to formalism and ceremony instead of the free ministry of the Holy Spirit, and great areas of the Charismatic movement invaded with the occult and pagan mind-control, it is not surprising that we don't see much of God's miracle working power in our...

    Miracles and certain spiritual gifts

    When? Didn't Jesus say not to listen to people who say He has come already, and here He is, and there He is, and He is out in the desert? So I can safely ignore your post, on the instructions of Jesus.

    Miracles and certain spiritual gifts

    It is characteristic of demonic misuse of Scripture that it will quote a random verse or part-verse out of context, and it is the misquote half-verse in 1 Corinthians 13 that the lying demon has used to deceive godly people and Bible teachers, with the purpose of denying the full power and...

    Miracles and certain spiritual gifts

    The problem is that he is committed to believing in a demonic lie, where the lying demon's purpose is to shut believers out of the blessing and power of the presence of the Holy Spirit who desires to dispense His gifts, but cannot do so because of the fellowship with this demonic Cessationist...

    Miracles and certain spiritual gifts

    Any doctrine that is not supported by clear New Testament Scripture is a lie. There is no debate about that, To say that the gifts ceased at the end of the Apostolic age because God intended them to cease is adding to Scripture and could result in a rebuke directly from God and exposure as a...

    Miracles and certain spiritual gifts

    It's faulty hermeneutics to construct a doctrine on half a verse that talks more about the second coming of Christ than anything else, and the cessation of the gifts before then nowhere else supported in the New Testament. Reading into half a verse of Scripture is effectively adding to God's...

    Everyone's liking my posts! Am I losing my touch??

    Miracles and certain spiritual gifts

    These show reminders from the Lord that He has not stopped doing the impossible from His compassionate nature.

    Miracles and certain spiritual gifts

    What's that got to do with the manifestation of the spiritual gifts for the building up of the body of Christ? Christian believers don't seek signs. They already have the Holy Spirit within them, teaching them the plans and purposes of God. And converted believers are not part of the wicked...

    Miracles and certain spiritual gifts

    Explain to me then how two people in my own church prayed in tongues, and on one occasion a Ghanaian visitor heard the praises of God spoken in his own village dialect, and the person praying in tongues had never been to Ghana and could not have known that dialect? And the other occasion where...

    Miracles and certain spiritual gifts

    You seem to be quite definite about that. You must have a reference somewhere in Paul's letters to say definitely that the spiritual gifts were to be temporary and were meant to cease after the Apostolic age. Are you prepared to say definitely, "This is what the Lord is saying to the church...

    Are You Free From The Law?

    That's it then. Go for it and let's see what happens at the judgment.

    Oh well. Good luck on that one.
