Pentecost and criminal prayerlessness...

[GRACE ambassador]

Precious friends, for your prayerful/Careful Consideration:

1) Is it simply “criminal prayerlessness” that is all that is “preventing us from
experiencing the book of Acts”?

2) Why would a popular monthly magazine, Christian Life, print a lengthy article by an
admittedly bewildered (about Pentecost) man, ordained pastor, asking “are we Missing something”?

3) Is it a possibility that the above bewildered man together with evangelical Christians as a whole are to blame for the “lack of the Pentecostal power” of God being manifested today?

4) Will each of us “give an account” of not yielding in faith to perceived miracles today, or:

5) Will each of us give an account of not yielding in faith to “What God Has Said” is for today?

To find answers to these, and much more, review:

The Controversy (CR Stam) pdf:

Ch XI, pgs 143-153: Criminal prayerlessness?

Note: on page 151, “11 Tim.” should read “II Tim. or 2 Tim.” - thanks...

Please Be Very RICHLY Encouraged, Enlightened, Exhorted, and Edified!

GRACE and Peace...

I don't know about what is on the link...but yes-- We are indeed missing something!

The day of Pentecost was to be just the beginning, the kick off, not a one-time event. It was to usher in the revealing of "all truth" led by the Holy Spirit, as arranged by Christ. Yeah, we are guilty--I mean the church fathers. All they did was carry the water and continue to repeat the elementary principles of Christ--which is good, but not very good, certainly not "perfect as our Father in heaven is perfect." Nor did they "press on" as Paul modeled and counselled.

But this was foretold by Jesus, Peter and Paul--predictable. After all, we are the gentiles, certainly not better than Israel who rejected God in the flesh, which got them a type of blindness until we all had a go at it. "Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.” So much for that! Jesus sends the Spirit, it lasted for and day, then Petered out. Way to go gentiles!

Then wolves among the priests, tares among the wheat, strong delusion, and all because our fathers did not love or believe the truth--just as it is written.

So...what now? Go on sleeping in lies and delusional blindness--or wake up?

Acts is certainly a wonderful addition to the Bible sir, the only inspired account of the formation of the Christian faith, and how it progressed and was governed until the apostasy set in.
