    God the Holy Spirit - third person of the Godhead

    I believe His Word and I accept any obvious details provided by God. What is obvious to me may not be obvious to you and vice versa. The choices are the Lord or mammon... not whether to read or not. Some people who choose the Lord are completely illiterate in the languages of men. The choices...

    Eternal Security

    I feel bound by any vows I have made. In the past I have made vows and defaulted. But God has been merciful and forgiven me when I brought it before Him. What I did was still wrong. It would still be wrong if I did it again. "My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not...

    The Doctrine of the Baptism in the Holy Ghost

    I have read all of those things and more over the years. You still present no apology for falsely accusing a man of writing a book and of selling it for "filthy lucre's sake". You spout what to me is garbage here as you have only a very biased opinion with no personal witness. Bro Seymour and...

    The Doctrine of the Baptism in the Holy Ghost

    Who are you kidding with such nonsense. William Seymour was a black man who was never allowed to enter most of places we take for granted today. Both of his parents were born slaves. He died in 1922 a long time before either of us were born and a long time before Martin Luther King worked to...

    God the Holy Spirit - third person of the Godhead

    But do all have the "eyes to see" and the "ears to hear" of which Jesus spoke? Logic and reason alone will not give access to truth. The truth comes to us through the Holy Ghost which in us is the "eyes" and the "ears": "But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in...

    God the Holy Spirit - third person of the Godhead

    I agree that it is a doctrine of many followers of Christ, but I would not call it essential as it is not essential to me and I am a follower of Christ. My walk with the Lord is as close to 24/7 as I am able and as I allow and as God provides I approach more closely. This is not a new thing with...

    Have ye received the Holy Ghost since ye believed?

    @JesusIsFaithful :):D

    The Doctrine of the Baptism in the Holy Ghost

    Putting a "like" to a post does not for me, and I know for others here as well, mean that I agree with every point made in that post. Do you think this is a science or mathematics quiz? There really are some gray areas.

    God the Holy Spirit - third person of the Godhead

    No one here has proven the trinity is true. I am not trying to prove that it is not. I am simply wanting people to recognize that if they do believe it then it is simply by faith that they do so. What is it that God wants us to believe and why? Isn't that important? Is not God's will more...

    The Doctrine of the Baptism in the Holy Ghost

    Amen! We are in agreement!

    God the Holy Spirit - third person of the Godhead

    My point is that it is an unproveable thing by someone on one side to someone on the other side. God alone gives the increase. He may use men to do it, but not simply because a man decides it needs to be proven. Only because God sees the need.

    Eternal Security

    No further argument but I do disagree.

    Eternal Security

    I agree on this last point, but their failure simply meant death for them and their offspring... not, eternal torment, as some believe. Anyone who does not get Life simply remains dead forever. We had nothing and we remain with nothing. Or actually if we receive anything good for the time...

    Eternal Security

    That would be a good point for excluding the vow initially, but if the vow has already been made and Jesus did not tell us that it was void, and we have been keeping it for an extended period then I believe that it would be valid and binding.

    Have ye received the Holy Ghost since ye believed?

    Searching for a new argument by posting to a thread where the last post is three years old? How badly do you need to contend?

    The Doctrine of the Baptism in the Holy Ghost

    This is not how I see it and if you had read with understanding my previous response to you then you would know that. I do not look at anyone as a nobody. For you to say so is a harsh judgment that really is not yours to make.

    God the Holy Spirit - third person of the Godhead

    Absolutely! But that doesn't change a thing about God, does it, whether it is the way I believe or the way you believe.

    Eternal Security

    What is it that the Father gives Jesus? He gave him 11, but not the 12th. None of them were cast out, but did they not have a choice? They did, I believe, and chose to remain. God foreknows our final choice even though we may not... the choice is still ours. We do not know that we are as the 11...

    Eternal Security

    Just about every church service I have visited over the years had had at least some truth as I see it, but all them also had or have some error. If you are looking for a place where there is no error, you may never find it. All of them altogether like have all of the truth that is needed, but...

    Eternal Security

    Consider that the natural children of Israel were slaves in Egypt when God sent Moses to deliver them, to save them. 600,000 men without including women and children were saved from bondage, but they still needed make it through the wilderness to their final reward in the Promised Land. Only 2...
