In a personal study done many years ago, I identified three different types of tongues. There may be more. Is God limited?

Fruit salad? But... hmmm, hmmm, finger licking good! LOL

I doubt that at that time I had even so much as heard the word, cholesterol, much less read it.

Well I have been in Holy Ghost meetings in California, Wyoming, Oklahoma, Texas and Arkansas as well as a few in Kentucky. I used to love to be in one of the good old "gully washer" services. Sometimes, however, someone would be pushing for such a service when it was not, I believe, what God...

I have never owned a gun, but we've had a mini baseball bat [about 2½ feet long] behind our bedroom door for years. We are supposed to use it to break out windows in case of a fire, but it could be used for other things...

Have you ever felt that way wading through some of the threads on this forum? No dream!

I can remember in my early years of elementary school most all of us would eat the white paste they used in those days. The teacher would tell us not to, but she was not watching us all of the time. Later on I did try eating a little cardboard. It did not taste bad, but I would not recommend it...

My wife frequently gives me the same kind of reminders. Do you suppose after so many years they have heard all of our commentaries before?

You misunderstand, I believe, what I meant. I have been in a single service in places which I believed were always led by the Spirit... but that rarely happened in all of the services held in that place. The flaws of people and/or the ways of people quenching the Spirit have shown their ugly...

"Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence? If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there." Psalm 139:7-8

Though study and experience and as I learned to be led by the Holy Spirit, I changed on a number of things in my beliefs and in my way of walking with God over the long years. Attendance at that first church I described was from 1976 until sometime in 1981. I have attended some much better...

Under the bed, but perhaps that could be instead of the closet while praying to your Father: "But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly." Matt 6:6

I hear you loud and clear, my brother! The very first assembly we attended as non-Catholics pressured us on the tongues as well. My wife started speaking tongues almost immediately. For me with some obstacles between me and God it was not until 6 weeks later. There were a couple of good...

We are barely communicating, and perhaps not at all, on what I believe is most important. You have decided that what you believe is to you that which is correct. You are hardly alone in that. Without clearer communication I cannot be sure an apology is in order. I do appreciate your intention...

I don't really want to pursue this, but I believe I need to add and clarify a couple of points here: One is that my wife has a different gift of tongues from God than my own. In hers she has been given messages in tongues from God at times and at other times she has been given the...

Amen! But... how many I wonder really try to do that?

I've missed seeing you around. I remember you advising that you were having some personal troubles. My old mind don't remember more. Hopefully everything is going better for you now.

Hello HIH! Good to see you popping in again.

Why would a prime minister be needed, when we have Jesus and direct access to Him? Joseph, the son of Jacob was given power under Pharaoh, but he was a type of Jesus. Was Jesus a Prime Minister of God or His Son? Is not Jesus the Head of the Body and does not the Body consist of you and me and...

Aye, many may insist that the written scripture is the Word of God. I, however, believe that the scriptures alone are the empty shell of the Body of Christ without Life until and if quickened by the Spirit of God. When it is so quickened, then we have the Word of God!
