Here's a Scripture that might explain things more clearly: "For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision has any value. All that matters is faith, expressed through love" (Galatians 5:6). This implies that without love, we cannot have true faith in Christ. So love is the most...

If we read through what Jesus said to the seven churches at the beginning of the book of Revelation, we get a major clue as to why the gifts of the Spirit, including tongues and prophecy, declined and disappeared from the Christian church. Jesus said that if those churches that were allowing...

There is absolutely no evidence in New Testament Scripture that signs and wonders to support the preaching of the gospel to the unsaved were to cease after the last Apostle died. None at all. So, if it ain't in the New Testament, then it ain't true. The real reason why the signs and wonders...

Actually, having another look at verses 1 and 2 of Genesis 1, I note that the first verse says that "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth". But He doesn't say exactly how He did it. Then in verse 2 He says that the earth is formless and void. Some have put forward the "gap...

There are some Charismatic Bible teachers who teach guaranteed healing, This is false teaching because God is not a vending machine that we can push a button and expect God to do what we want when we want. You are correct. God is sovereign, and He has good reasons for either healing or not...

I read enough of the article to determine that these respected scholars are trying to explain with human wisdom, what was a straight miracle. There were 120 people who got filled with the Spirit on the Day of Pentecost, and there is nothing to say that the crowd heard just 12 people speaking...

I wouldn't try to calculate or guess when Jesus will come again. I don't want to give any impression that I know something that only God the Father knows. I wouldn't want to be accused of puffing myself up and arrogantly knowing better than God Himself.

Perhaps the fact that Genesis 3:15 is a Messianic prophecy is being missed here.

I viewed some good teaching by Dave Hunt on Youtube about this, and it makes sense to me. He says that under the leadership of the Antichrist all the armies of the world will unite against Israel in order to destroy it. He says that Satan's purpose in destroying Israel is that if Israel no...

You might not want to go down that track with me concerning Rick Joyner and prophetic visions! :-) I debated that on the other forum and I got repeatedly attacked and flamed for my views, but I'm quite happy to give my views for those who are willing to enter into a respectful and stimulating...

My wife was brought up and educated Catholic and also because I did a paper in Catholic theology for my M.Div degree, I have a good understanding of Catholicism. My wife says that she is a Christian, and I have no basis for doubting her. She believes that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and...

I understand. I make my view as a general one, but if, like you, a person says they are a Christian and believe that Jesus is the Son of God and rose from the dead according to the Scripture, then who am I to say they are not? You ask what kind of Christian I am. I am a Christian who...

It's all to do with basic English comprehension which I taught to 9 and 10 year olds in elementary school. Paul says that he speaks in tongues more than them all BUT IN THE CHURCH he would rather that people prophesy. Using 10 year old comprehension, we see clearly that Paul is making a clear...

You are just reading into Paul's statements according to what you personally believe, the same way I am. So you can't really say that you are right and I am not.

Just like my daughter, who was studying psychology, told me, "If someone has had stuff drummed into them all during their formative years, it is very difficult, almost impossible to convince them otherwise". I think she is right about religious people who have had Cessationist doctrine drummed...

We had her for 17 and a half years before she sadly passed away. Having her picture here is a good memory for me.

I've now been banned because I said that those who believe in evolution are just pretending to be Christian. I made an appeal to say that the warning was just "picky" and pedantic and that it seems that CF is starting to appease atheists and Muslims. I don't think they will like that very...

By ignoring some verses in 1 Corinthians 14, you are saying that using the gift of tongues should be limited to public church meetings and accompanied by interpretation so that it can be edifying to the listeners. What you are talking about is the ministry gift of tongues that only believers...
