    What is the initial evidence of the Baptism with the Holy Spirit?

    You seem to be talking specifically about the supernatural miracle of speaking in unknown tongues and prophesy to authenticate both the message about Christ (Gospel) and the messenger? Are you asking if the signs given to believers in the beginning are still necessary proof for being eternally...

    Soul vs SPIRIT

    What do you imagine having a spirit means? It is the spirit (breath of life) that gives physical life to flesh. Everything upon the earth with the breath of life (spirit) died in the flood because they all drowned when the breath of life (spirit) was taken from their bodies of flesh...

    Soul vs SPIRIT

    Every living breathing creature still possessing physical life is called a "living soul."

    Has the church got Genesis all wrong?

    Where did Moses get the information to write the Creation account? June 30, 2018 I understand that Moses wrote Genesis, but he was not around when God created the world. So from where and whom did he get the information how God created the world in 6 days? While the Bible itself is silent on...

    Has the church got Genesis all wrong?

    Then you're arguing from silence! I believe the Bible which informs us that God spoke to Moses!

    Soul vs SPIRIT

    It cannot! For this reason we must be born again! It takes the Spirit of Christ in our spirit when we are born again to both know and enter the spiritual Kingdom of God. (JO 3) The spirit that gives mankind physical life came by the breath of God at creation. Since the fall man is born...

    Soul vs SPIRIT

    No, I don't disagree with this, except to say we became a living soul. And as long as we have the breath of life, which is spirit, we will always be a living soul. Whether in body or out of body, when our spirit is alive in human flesh, or a living spiritual body without form in heaven, we are...

    Soul vs SPIRIT

    The problem Rella is that you are not giving YOUR understanding. Simply repeating what others believe about biblical doctrine is fine IF you can explain how they arrived at the conclusions they have drawn. Let's first try to understand what Paul means when he tells us the God of peace will...

    Soul vs SPIRIT

    This shows the spirit soul and body are not the same, so how should we define each one of them that we might know how God might completely or perfectly preserve His own? If man is created a three part being, you should be able to explain from the Bible what each part is and does???

    I want to fast. Ideas on what to fast on.

    Isaiah 58:5-7 (KJV) Is it such a fast that I have chosen? a day for a man to afflict his soul? is it to bow down his head as a bulrush, and to spread sackcloth and ashes under him? wilt thou call this a fast, and an acceptable day to the LORD? Is not this the fast that I have chosen? to loose...

    Soul vs SPIRIT

    The Spirit indeed does get our flesh under control. I was trying to point out how the Spirit in us does that by enlightening our mind and heart. Because Scripture tells us that in Christ, through His Spirit in us, we have a new heart and new spirit, which is the same as saying new mind...

    Soul vs SPIRIT

    Perhaps I misunderstood what you're saying??? If I didn't answer a question you asked, it was not intentional.

    If our interpretation of scripture sidesteps common sense, did we get it right?

    That's your opinion, and you're entitled to believe whatever you wish. Remember opinion without validation from the Bible remains opinion, and of no value in discerning biblical truths.

    Soul vs SPIRIT

    The flesh is under the power of the spirit in us, being spiritually dead in trespasses and sins. In natural spirit being spiritually dead we are without power through Christ's Spirit in us to wage war against the desires of our flesh. The desires of our flesh come from the spirit breath of...

    Soul vs SPIRIT

    It is the Spirit in us, making us spiritually alive that gives us the ability to wage spiritual warfare against the lusts of our flesh and this world. Before we are born again of His Spirit, we are spiritually dead. That's why our desire before we are born again is for whatever our flesh and...

    Soul vs SPIRIT

    Our natural spirit is the breath of life that every living breathing physical creature has for physical life on earth. Without the breath of life which is spirit, there would be no physical life. The Spirit of Christ is in us when we are born again. The Spirit of Christ gives spiritual life...

    Soul vs SPIRIT

    John 6:63 (KJV) It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life. Genesis 2:7 (KJV) And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a...

    If our interpretation of scripture sidesteps common sense, did we get it right?

    Who here has argued that water baptism is the means of being justified before God? Just because some denominations wrongly teach that obedience to the Law is necessary to be justified before God, does not mean the ordinances of the Church should be done away with. Rightly taught and practiced...

    If our interpretation of scripture sidesteps common sense, did we get it right?

    Yes, which is what baptism by water symbolizes. In the same way that crossing of the sea was symbolic of being baptized unto Moses, the servant of the Lord. Death to slavery and life through the water, in which Israel was saved and saw "that great work which the LORD did..." In the same way...
