I guess that many people have decided that, but if carrying the designation matters to God at all, isn't He alone the one to render the final judgment for or against each person [not each group] based on complete knowledge of that person?

They are not the only ones making that proclamation, but it seems some of those who do say it do not really believe it anyway.

I also have more than one gift and tongues IS one of them. Is it the best one? Probably not, but who am I to judge?

Indeed, many people spend time sitting in pews but have never strived to really be like Jesus. Others have not sat in the pews, but hoping perhaps for political or financial advantage or other secular advantage have called themselves Christians while probably not even understanding what that...

"To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:" Ecc 3:1 "...a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;" Ecc 3:7 "But Jesus yet answered nothing; so that Pilate marveled." Mark 15:5

"But seek ye first [1] the kingdom of God, and [2] his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you." Matt 6:33 If we seek these two things first then God will add what God will add. His choice it should always be. Not ours! No one should presume with God. We need to learn to...

"Have all the gifts of healing? do all speak with tongues? do all interpret? But covet earnestly the best gifts: and yet show I unto you a more excellent way." I Cor 12:30-31 So then covet earnestly the best gifts as it is written, but this does not mean we are to misuse or cast aside what we...

Again I believe you are wrong for making this a rule. Certainly sometimes people are following their own flesh... but not always. You say it is nothing like the originals but since you were not there and have never experienced the "originals" how could you know what they are? You presume that...

Sometimes we, ourselves, need to be edified in order to continue to do our part in the Lord's work for us. At times when I am reading scripture, my brain fails to understand God's meaning but later on as the need arises, God works through me using what I read to edify someone else. We need to be...

Yes, cannot even a devil or an atheist sometimes cite verbatim, from memory, a verse just as it is written in scripture?

I am sorry you feel that way. I don't. I received a gift of tongues in 1976. For me it became a daily means of communication with God who is a Spirit. There are people who have misused or abused the "very good" things that God made, but we should not be rejecting those things because of the...

Indeed, the meat that Jesus mentioned was NOT that of a lower animal [cattle, sheep, nor even the flesh and blood of a man]. The Body with the spiritual Blood is the Body to which we do belong or to which we are to belong. Is that not the Body of Christ? And it is not the "old man" [as per...

More than one kind of fire... or only one fire which works more than one way, [perhaps like a two edged sword]? On the one hand it burns up that which is dried up and dead with no good in it. On the other hand it cleans up and purifies that which has good [only one is Good, that is God] within...

Yes, but there is what carnal man considers life and what God considers Life... They are certainly NOT the same. But what kind of a problem do we have eating the flesh of Jesus so long as we do not mix it with the flesh of men? That is, we should not mix the Word of God with the words of men...

At least none of the wrong blood, that red liquid that keeps the man and beast of flesh living a carnal life equal to death in the eyes of God. The real Life giving blood is not red. It is rather that Holy Spirit. If it is to be any color, I would choose to call it white, but certainly it is...

I won't argue that point with you, Helen although I do disagree! However, that is where I am and you are where you are. God reads us better than we read ourselves or each other, so I will leave such a judgment in His very capable hands.

And are you saying then that you were a personal witness to what the "originals" were and are now the perfect interpreter for that which is now? Study of the even the scriptures by the flesh alone with the best of brains [even one equivalent to Einstein] is still what Solomon described: "...a...

And it would seem from your words that your conclusion is the final one. Do we really know these things better than God? The interpretation must be necessary as the there are so many opposing ones on this forum alone. Without a proper interpretation who could understand the Bible correctly...

In spite of the thoughts of some, I do not believe that a person will be lost simply because he is a Calvinist, a Mormon, a JW, a Pentecostal, or a Catholic... and neither will a person be finally saved because he is any one of those or any of the multitude of other possibilities. God is really...

Or what of those who simply were not there at all...?
