The faith you are talking about, I agree. However, I am talking about the verse in Romans 10:17. Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God. This is not talking about reading the Bible, or even hearing a sermon, though Rhemas do come through either at times. It is not talking about...

No, faith comes by hearing the SPOKEN RHEMA directly from God. That requires a "hearing" gift of the Spirit that you deny. This is a supernatural faith given by supernatural means.

Your premise is utterly unscriptural. These gifts are all part of the New Covenant, and nothing in a covenant ends until the covenant, itself, ends. Like sacrifices in the Old Covenant ended when the New Covenant began. Not a jot or a tittle ended until it was fulfilled. The same is true in our...

You never said that, but I've heard others claim things like that.

Chapter 10 only says "of the circumcision," meaning Jews, seeing as the issue was that the gospel up to that point only went to the Jews. Just because it wasn't specified that there were other apostles with Peter doesn't mean their weren't. In fact, it is good that other apostles weren't...

I doubt very much that you are right that not all the apostles spoke in tongues.

I've heard that speculation before and it appears to me that the eleven apostles were already filled with the Spirit by Jesus, Himself, in John 20, and on the Day of Pentecost they received the additional filling for POWER. Whereas the 120 received the first filling in Acts 2 and the second...

Acts 1:15 At this time Peter stood up in the midst of the brethren (a gathering of about one hundred and twenty persons was there together), and said,

Scripture interprets scripture. There is no need to guess.

Yes, and those reading the book would have known what interpretation of tongues was seeing as the letter to the Corinthians was written about 15 years prior, and was circulated among all the churches. In Acts 2, only the devout Jews were given this sign, the operative word being "devout." The...

Dave, I like your new picture. :)

You'll have to post more as I'm not getting your point. Are you saying that Pentecost was NOT the beginning of Christ's Church? I don't understand.

I agree. Another thing that God predestined was that He would have His own people, the children of Israel, stiff-necked as they were. He called them "His elect." But not all of them were saved. If you read Paul's introduction of Ephesians 1 carefully you will see it is the Jews who were...

The first set of verses from Romans 9, Calvinists believe prove absolute predestination. 21 Does not the potter have power over the clay, from the same lump to make one vessel for honor and another for dishonor? 22 What if God, wanting to show His wrath and to make His power known, endured with...

Don't you just want to cry when some are so brain-washed in there false doctrine that they want to change the meaning of scripture to fit their own doctrine, instead of believing the Word of God and abiding by it? Take for instance, Galatians 5:19-21. The OSAS sect want to change "not inheriting...

The Corinthians were not Jews.

And you are going on ignore!

Seeing as I'm not Catholic, I still haven't a clue to your ramblings.

What are you talking about. I haven't a clue as you make no sense.

Again, not making a point.
