ah, genealogies, yeh?
Yeah, I did it for Wikitree for awhile. I also have a family tree that goes back to Normandy in the 1500's. My Wikitree work confirmed it back to 1772. My last name came from Normandy and before the 1500's, my ancestors came from Scandinavia. I toyed with the possibility that they were Vikings, and then a few weeks ago I watched a documentary that confirmed it. I've never heard of anyone I knew personally that were descended from them. Too much.

"I can see a wave on the horizon." x2 It growing larger, it's getting nearer, oh can't you see it straight ahead. I can see a wave, the Harvest Wave." "What's the Spirit saying, what's the Spirit doing, what's the Spirit bringing in our day. Hear the Spirit saying, see the Spirit doing, this is what the Spirit's bringing in this wave." "Apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors and teachers, to prepare the saints of God for works of service, that the body of Christ may be built up until we all reach unity, in the faith and the knowledge of the Son Of God, and become mature."

These are excellent words, and more than mere encouragement. They include strong citations of scripture, which the early church once included in their spiritual songs (Colossians 3:16), but have in our day become more watered down.

You do have a gift, and you need to stir it up until your time comes, and you go on to be with the Lord.

Thank you, I do appreciate it a lot.

we must disagree with that first part of your assessment, and here's why. Acts 2:38 "Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost."
Acts 2:39 "For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call."

we ask, is the Lord still calling people unto himself, even today, this very hour? well if yes, (and he is), then the gift is for them as well as us when we was called.

PICJAG.


The out pouring of the Spirit is to fulfill all of it, The gospel goes world wide now.
All who are called and saved calling on the name of the Lord do so by the work of the Spirit.
Peter declares Joel 2 to be fulfilled that day.
Our union with Christ assures us resurrection unto life, as the quote from psalm 16 assured Jesus would be raised up. We are in Him, the promise of salvation is for all who call upon him as Joel 2, and Joel 3 explain
16 But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel;

17 And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams:

18 And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy:

19 And I will shew wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke:

20 The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and notable day of the Lord come:

21 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.

22 Ye men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know:

23 Him, being delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, ye have taken, and by wicked hands have crucified and slain:

24 Whom God hath raised up, having loosed the pains of death: because it was not possible that he should be holden of it.

25 For David speaketh concerning him, I foresaw the Lord always before my face, for he is on my right hand, that I should not be moved:

26 Therefore did my heart rejoice, and my tongue was glad; moreover also my flesh shall rest in hope:

27 Because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell, neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.

28 Thou hast made known to me the ways of life; thou shalt make me full of joy with thy countenance.

29 Men and brethren, let me freely speak unto you of the patriarch David, that he is both dead and buried, and his sepulchre is with us unto this day.

30 Therefore being a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him, that of the fruit of his loins, according to the flesh, he would raise up Christ to sit on his throne;

31 He seeing this before spake of the resurrection of Christ, that his soul was not left in hell, neither his flesh did see corruption.

32 This Jesus hath God raised up, whereof we all are witnesses.

33 Therefore being by the right hand of God exalted, and having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Ghost, he hath shed forth this, which ye now see and hear.

34 For David is not ascended into the heavens: but he saith himself, The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand,

35 Until I make thy foes thy footstool.

36 Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath made the same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ.

37 Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do?

38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.

39 For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call.

40 And with many other words did he testify and exhort, saying, Save yourselves from this untoward generation.

41 Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls.

This is your salvation testimony?:(

Anthony, I find his testimony superior to yours, because you are now acting like someone who isn't even saved.

So how about if you and I talk. And let's start with you answering Post #16, which you apparently didn't have time to respond to yet.

I have a question that you may be able to help me with. I was part-way through writing a post yesterday, when I had to leave the site for a bit. When I came back, I realized that I'd forgotten where it was and I can't find it. Can you help?

During the first week of January, 1989, I went to visit a woman I'd just met at a New Year's Eve party. I knocked on her door and she let me in. She said I could sit at her dining room table while she got us some drinks. As I sat, I saw a bible sitting on the table in front of me. I flipped it open and started to read. I hadn't touched a bible in years. As I sat there, I watched as the letters from the page jumped up in front of me and I was instantly under a clear, star-filled night with the moon shining bright. I sensed someone was standing to my right, but I couldn't look. My gaze was directed out in front of me. About a few hundred yards from me was the leading edge of a large cloud bank. On it was the front line of an army on horseback that stretched to the horizon. My gaze was directed several lines back. I saw soldiers on horseback and they were holding weapons. My gaze was directed to the front line. I saw soldiers that were holding musical instruments instead of weapons. My gaze was directed to an individual rider. I saw it was me. I was instantly back in my friend's dining room. - I've come to understand that this event is to remove all evil from upon the Earth at some time in the future. I believe that Jude:vv. 14 & 15 describes this event. Beyond that, I don't know. Any thoughts?
What a beautiful testimony! Give God the Glory and Praise!

If the dreams comes from God, even if they seem odd, we had best pay attention. Can a sheep not recognize His voice?

"And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice." John 10:4
We hear His voice in scripture, not outside of it.That is why he gave the Apostles all that pertains to life and godliness.

What does that mean exactly? Anyone can claim anything about anything and cannot be questioned???
By the way, I did answer that post.
You can debate it but start your own thread. The testimony forum is not for debating....if we allowed everyone to debate a members testimony then it would cause many to shy away from sharing what God has done in their lives. This is one of those forums that is protected from debates....same as the prayer forum, and the praise forum.
