    Moving on from Christs principles?

    I understand where you are coming from. You've got tunnel vision that your denomination's teachings are right. But most are based on error in interpretation. That is why we have so many. Remember, it is the Bible, not your denomination, that says "without holiness, no man shall see God." So...

    Moving on from Christs principles?

    Wow! Such patronizing. Do yourself a favor. Copy my post to you and make a document you can read later in a few years. When you get older and grow in the Lord, take it out and see if you understand it then.

    Is Jesus suggesting we can forgive the sins of man too?

    Only what the Bible says we must forgive. They would be the trespasses of each other. Matthew 6:14-15 14 “For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. 15 But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses...

    Moving on from Christs principles?

    Hi Matthew, The Book of Hebrews is to Jews becoming Christians. Those dead works would be "works of the flesh of the Old Testament" such as physically keeping certain Jewish only things: feasts and ceremonial circumcision with a physical knife, only eating clean meats that could be used in...

    WHAT IS "SPEAKING IN TONGUES" and the SIGNIFICANCE OF IT?

    I asked you to start with verse 5. If you had you would know you are wrong about about verse 22. That was when he was STILL IN THE FLESH. Verse 5 is talking of a time when that condition is past. And Paul was speaking of himself, but not as a saved person, but as a Pharisee and still under the...

    THE POWER OF WORDS.

    Matthew, please notice that not all of these is to a born again Christian. For instance, these are not, 5 Put to death, therefore, whatever belongs to your earthly nature: sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires and greed, which is idolatry. 6 Because of these, the wrath of God is...

    WHAT IS "SPEAKING IN TONGUES" and the SIGNIFICANCE OF IT?

    Did you read Romans 7 starting with verse 5 like I asked you to in #42, that shows "being in the flesh" to be in the PAST once we are filled with the Spirit Romans 8:2 which says life in the Spirit frees us from the law of sin and death? Romans 7:14-25 is life STILL IN THE FLESH!!!!! Don't be...

    WHAT IS "SPEAKING IN TONGUES" and the SIGNIFICANCE OF IT?

    Why don't you read Romans 7 in CONTEXT for once in your life and start with verse 5. If you are taking any verses between 14-23 and applying them to yourself you may or may not be right depending on if you are Jewish or a Christian. Paul is talking about those Old Testament Jews UNDER THE LAW...

    WHAT IS "SPEAKING IN TONGUES" and the SIGNIFICANCE OF IT?

    It tells you WHEN that will happen. So why can't you accept what is written. Curious. When do you think tongues, knowledge and prophecy will cease?

    WHAT IS "SPEAKING IN TONGUES" and the SIGNIFICANCE OF IT?

    And what about those who are born again of the Spirit? Can't we make good choices? What denomination are you that teaches that no one can make good choices?

    problem related to praying in tongues

    The Day of Pentecost did not contradict the Word of God as you and many others think! 1 Corinthians 14:2 2 For he who speaks in a tongue does not speak to men but to God, for no one understands him; however, in the spirit he speaks mysteries. Can you think of a "hearing" gift in 1 Corinthians...

    WHAT IS "SPEAKING IN TONGUES" and the SIGNIFICANCE OF IT?

    God knew what man would do before he created him. God planed the plan of redemption before even creating Lucifer or Adam. In the end, heaven will be sinless forever with righteous and holy angels and people.

    problem related to praying in tongues

    All believers can speak in unknown tongues, and don't need interpretation. We are praying God's perfect will by the Spirit. We can also heal the sick and raise the dead. We can cast out demons. We can also enjoy divine protection, the meaning of the Hebrew idiom about picking up serpents and...

    problem related to praying in tongues

    Don't worry about praying in tongues yet. No one can pray in tongues anyway until they have repented and been born again of the Spirit. Yes, the Holy Spirit is drawing you, but if you are still struggling with sin and Satan then you've never been circumcised without hands. That circumcision cuts...

    WHAT IS "SPEAKING IN TONGUES" and the SIGNIFICANCE OF IT?

    That is about the Book of Revelation. But we can receive personal prophecy, just as Agabus prophesied to Paul Acts 21: 9 Now this man had four virgin daughters who prophesied. 10 And as we stayed many days, a certain prophet named Agabus came down from Judea. 11 When he had come to us, he...

    problem related to praying in tongues

    God also speaks to me without tongues and interpretation. Those hearing gifts are Word of Wisdom, Word of Knowledge, Prophecy, and Interpretation of tongues. Sometimes we are not to know what must happen in the future, so we are to pray in tongues individually, without interpretation Mark 16:16-18.

    problem related to praying in tongues

    Obviously you don't know there are two types of tongues. Mark 16:16-18 and 1 Corinthians 12:4-9. The first is for everyone individually WITHOUT interpretation. as it isn't even in the list in Mark. The second is for ministry of receiving messages from God for the profit of all, thus requires...

    problem related to praying in tongues

    So the disciples were all sinners on the Day of Pentecost? Get real! That has to do with praying to be looked on as special. Its against prideful displays. When Pentecostals lift up praise to God as a choir in tongues as they did on the Day of Pentecost, no one is listening to each other.

    WHAT IS "SPEAKING IN TONGUES" and the SIGNIFICANCE OF IT?

    It is a special type of "sign which will be spoken against." It is a negative sign to unbelievers, and their unbelief will be confirmed when they think you are crazy and speaking gibberish. No one understands it naturally on earth but God. That is why He also gave us the gift of interpretation...
