Jesus teaches, "I have come not to abolish (the Law of Moses), but to fulfill it (Matthew 5:17)." What does Jesus mean by "fulfill?" To the degree that the Law's many regulations can be used in the service of the Golden Rule, they remain valid: "In everything do to others as you would have...

Duncan Campbell was a Presbyterian minister, who prayed for revival regularly with a friend of mine's Dad, who just happened to be be blind. That fact is unknown to the public. What is known is that the main prayer warriors who catalyzed this revival were the 2 Smith sisters in their 80s, one...

Vince, I just want you to know that I am appalled by the glib and simple-minded evasions posters have offered in response to your very legitimate issue. If their responses were the last word, then your rejection of biblical revelation would be eminently reasonable. But it is not: a proper...

THE 2 BEST VIDEOS ON THE AZUSA STREET REVIVAL, INCLING EYEWITNESS TESTIMONY [so inspiring that they are both far too threatening for a biased axe-grinder like Dave to watch!] The Welsh Revival of 1904-05 soon spread in 1906-08 to Azusa Street in Los Angeles, the place where global...

OK, so I can't expect you to exercise the same critical acumen as the Pentecostal leaders to whom you have been exposed. But you have no excuse other than bigotry and a mind closed to the truth to avoid watching the posted documentary. To restore your devastated credibility watch it and...

No, it is dingdong propaganda from Hallelujah College! You will do practically anything to avoid toe hard work of hones critical assessment. But you're terrified of watching the more factual documentary I posted, aren't you? You're afraid you'll lose control and be convicted of your blasphemy...

We must be patient with Dave because he labors under a heavy weight of conviction to seek the Baptism of the Holy Spirit. Soon he will be slain in the Spirit and babbing gibberish until his DEAU-U-UD spirituality is brought to life!:) Dave L: [Parham] "Sexual misconduct?" We should rip the...

NO LOVE WITHOUG RESPECT "Let love be genuine...Outdo one another in showing respect (Romans 12:9-10--NRSV)." What passes for Christian love is often stained by strings attached, by manipulation, and by a patronizing tone. Our efforts to help, correct, and support others often lacks one...

marks:"Belief whip? What is that? My point is this: receiving the Holy Spirit is not an automatic result of formally professing faith, but is an experience of power subject to God's sovereign will. So your thread asks the appropriate question, How do we know that we have the Spirit? And you...

marks: How do you get in the Spirit? "This was a great question asked by @Soverign Grace on another thread. Romans 8:9 "But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his." Some say...

This post will make clear why Dave L is in danger of blaspheming against the Spirit. Jesus teaches that to attribute the power of the Spirit at work in Jesus' exorcisms to demonic power is to commit the unpardonable sin against the Holy Spirit (Matthew 12:25-32). Beyond this, how does the NT...

LOL, "first things first" requires you to address my biblical points that you always duck because you have nothing to say. I have reapeatedly and decisively refuted all your biblical interpretations without any detailed response from Scripture. Sadly, because you don't know Greek and don't...

Your only defense is your ostrich approach to biblical discussion; that is, you don't read modern biblical commentaries on the NT books you cite and you neither carefully read nor respond in detail to the posts that decisively refute your bogus screed. So for newbie readers only (not for your...

Dave L,: "All of your conjecture is unnecessary. The gifts expired by the time John published Revelation according to scripture. What I present is not conjecture, but rather expresses the modern scholarly consensus among New Testament academic scholars, charismatic and non-charismatic alike...

Dave L: "People said people who spoke in tongues were edified by doing so. Readers must always remember that you pontificate from ignorance without watching any supportive videos or carefully reading supportive Scriptures, so that a meaningful engagement can occur. So you constantly need...

(9) This next encounter with "the word of knowledge" is probably my 2nd most treasured spiritual highlight in my life. I had applied to Harvard's doctoral program in New Testament, Judaism, and Greco-Roman backgrounds, but my a fellow seminarian told me I'd be rejected just like he was. So where...

REPLY TO THE OBJECTION THAT SPEAKING IN TONGUES IN THE NT CHURCH ALWAYS EXPRESSED HUMAN LANGUAGES. Of the many modern examples that might be given, I have posted 3 very helpful and comforting examples familiar to me of tongues in modern languages similar to the unique case of Acts 2. Indeed, we...

(6) BR is a missionary to an African Muslim nation. He shared this testimonh in my parents' church. 2 young missionaries were doing hospital visitation and praying for the gravely ill. Ahmed was dying of AIDs; so they prayed for his healing. But Ahmed was a radical Muslim mullah who hated...

You have now been decisively refuted by sound biblical exegesis and historical documentation and are no longer worth a response. Indeed, you don't even understand what the "occult" is, and so, are reduced to throwing around negative labels that you don't understand.

Core Issue: "Slain in the spirit didn't exist until the 1900s. It is of OCCULT origin." More uneducated pontifications from ignorance! In fact, seekers were "slain in the Spirit in both the First and Second Great Awakenings in the 18th and 19th century respectively. Indeed, the father of...
