He was a chosen Deacon, so again, not a lay person!So Steven, who was not an Apostle, was out of order?
And Stephen, full of faith and power, did great wonders and miracles among the people.

Is it the person doing the sign and wonders, or God Himself?So Steven, who was not an Apostle, was out of order?

God through the person.Is it the person doing the sign and wonders, or God Himself?
There was not such thing as a lay person until the RCC came along.He was a chosen Deacon, so again, not a lay person!
Acts 5:12 The apostles performed many signs and wonders ...Is it the person doing the sign and wonders, or God Himself?
There are those called into official ministries such as Pastors, teachers, and Elders though!There was not such thing as a lay person until the RCC came along.
All are kings and priests...equals.
Yes, and my contention is that there are none today gifted to do such as they were!Acts 5:12 The apostles performed many signs and wonders ...

"The apostles performed many signs and wonders among the people. And all the believers used to meet together in Solomon's Colonnade. New Living Translation The apostles were performing many miraculous signs and wonders among the people. And all the believers were meeting regularly at the Temple in the area known as Solomon's Colonnade."
Seek, and keep seeking;Yes, and my contention is that there are none today gifted to do such as they were!
All Apostolic sign gifts ceased as they accomplished what they were intended to do.Has not what?
I posted this....
The gifts have never ceased because Jesus has not returned.
Therefore, these (partial, dark glass)gifts will be in operation until that which is perfect is come(the millennial reign of Christ), then every eye shall see him, ALL lame shall walk etc.
There will be no need for the gifts because every human will be made well.
Even democrats...LOL
Anyone can claim anything.It has. There was a missionary retired i my Church before he went home to Christ and he was in Africa when he was younger and he even saw people being raised from the dead. In America our faith is inadequate, we want to much rationalization and control instead of let God have control
.No, never make something up.
Just watch, pay attention, (wherever you go in person - not in the news/ online/ in sermons) ....
So then do not post weird stories, false claims (at all of anything), nor other invented claims..
All believers have a God conciousness.
We are vessels used to be faithful to convey saving truth to lost souls.
Not weird stories,false claims of dead being raised and other invented claims.
You just debunked Mark 16:16-18.All Apostolic sign gifts ceased as they accomplished what they were intended to do.
Now we have what God intended for us to have as eph4 declares.
It is not ongoing, but complete.God did not forget to tell us anything.
We do not have to make things up in an effort to help out.
Of course. Kings and priests right out of the baptistry, then the gifts and sings will follow them.There are those called into official ministries such as Pastors, teachers, and Elders though!

We are not told to believe stories but rather scripture.
I did not have to be on Noah's arc to know it happened just the way God had it recorded in scripture.
The Spirit quickened the word to real believers.
I do not need to believe God sent an angel to a believer who was lingering outside a bar at 2 am, giving a supposed message to stop straddling the fence, when scripture already commands they we do not take part in the kingdom of darkness.
Exactly, as they confirmed that the message of the Apostles concerning Jesus as messiah and Lord was correct!All Apostolic sign gifts ceased as they accomplished what they were intended to do.

Not at all my friend. If you understood MK16, you would see that the signs followed those who believed...Believed the Apostolic preaching, thank you very much for proving my point.You just debunked Mark 16:16-18.
Shame on you.
Sorry, my friend, I am not in unbelief, but rather believe scripture as it is taught.You do you, I will pray for your unbelief.
