Willie....I am very much aware of your knowledge of the scriptures and I know you are simply baiting me with this type of question. Let me ask you this....if you were Paul addressing a congregation of young and immature Christians who were arguing amongst each other about whose calling or gift...

Read the commentary....I only shared a tidbit...if you have time.

Back in the day when a great prophetic movement swept across the Christian faith there were indeed true men of God who He chose to speak through because the church had become distorted through the many individuals who perpetuated their ideology and interpretation of scripture and it was getting...

However, If you take the entire chapter of 1 Corinthians beginning to end.... what Paul is trying to convey is the very core of who He is and what He represents....love. Love supercedes every single gift and operation of them and declares it as the one that will never fail, never cease. I like...

You need to expand your territory...there are many out there and if you take time to look you will find churches operating in the 5 fold ministry.

Willie....I know you are trying to make a point but why defend it? I was very empathetic towards her OP topic but her attacking everyone for their feedback or point of view or their beliefs is simply not of God and He does not condone this amongst the brethren. Sewing scorn, discord and anger is...

Well I wouldn't go so far as to say they don't believe....I believe that many of them have been taught things in ignorance or error...but the Holy Spirit who Jesus referred to as the Spirit of Truth is able to open their eyes and heart to see the truth if they are willing to receive Him. Just...

Good Morning @Jennifer! I know how you feel concerning this subject. I have had this debate with others on this forum and another for 2 years now....here is where I stand on the matter....when God established HIS church He appointed Apostles, Prophets, preachers, teachers and evangelist for the...

I have a neighbor who is gay and we were talking about Christianity and he said the gay community have decided to start establishing "gay" churches so they can come and worship God freely without biased judgment against them.... Funny how this conversation took place 2 nights ago and tonight I...

We all have been in this situation...I am 60 and just now coming to understand this myself....hugs and prayers sister....and try to resist the enemy who is attacking you through all this. Give it to Jesus....He will carry you through! Blessings my sister!

Hi @Jennifer....there have been 2 major issues in my heart that the Holy Spirit has revealed to me that I wasn't aware of... 1. A spirit of offense: I have spent all my life being easily offended by how others treat me, talk about me, or judge me....then the Holy Spirit showed me how I put too...

Good post! I found it very interesting and made me consider all you presented....final analysis is that it is spot on and something I agree with. Thanks for posting!

I don't follow Calvinism or Catholicism beliefs or doctrines. So my comment was not intended to reflect anyone's ideology....this is simply my belief of what scripture says. Have a blessed day.

That's what I said and isn't the church about Him...after all He is the cornerstone.

And where he was describing the human spirit as always being inclined to satisfy it's own lusts.....obviously this person does not know how to differentiate spiri and flesh.... When we are saved our spiri is reborn of His Spirit and now contains all the "spiritual DNA of Christ and cannot...

I prefer Holy Spirit.....I think it is because everything relevant to being born again says spirit....born again of spirit....worship Hin in spirit and in truth.....follow after the spirit and you will not fulfill the lust of the flesh....etc etc. I don't think I have ever liked using ghost

Oh and to be more specific in replying to your OP......YES!!! Quenching and grieving the Holy Spirit hinders our spiritual growth to which we may find ourselves stuck on the "milk" and never partaking of the "meat" of His Word.

Indeed, and when Jesus died and went to hell He set free those who were captive there.

IMHO the entire NT is all about the church (as far as parables) please don't yell at me lol....of course Jesus and the Holy Spirit are the main emphasis in the NT....His Church (Christ's Bride) is the ultimate purpose of what He is striving to achieve....so I can see where the 10 virgins can be...

I see, well I listen to many pastors, some have come and gone in my life because they never varied in what they taught...example Mike Murdock made a profound impact in my life back in the 80's because he had an anointing to teach on wisdom which is what I was seeking back then but eventually I...
