Oh, well that's a relief. (not!)I was not saying that all Charismatics are going to hell. I was referring to the majority and not the minority.

Based on what? You are completely IGNORANT of anything to do with spiritual gifts! Can't you get that through your thick skull?I have seen the majority of the Charismatic movement, and I can say that much of it (not all of it) is not of God.
What about your misuse of God's Word?That is what was wrong with your accusation against me.
Nope. That passage is talking about the divine Word. Your textbook isn't alive.You are a bit off there about the scriptures, it says:
12 God’s word is alive and working. It is sharper than the sharpest sword and cuts all the way into us. It cuts deep to the place where the soul and the spirit are joined. God’s word cuts to the center of our joints and our bones. It judges the thoughts and feelings in our hearts.13 Nothing in all the world can be hidden from God. He can clearly see all things. Everything is open before him. And to him we must explain the way we have lived.
First of all, you'll hear many similar testimonies about the Koran. Secondly, at times when you think the written Word had a positive effect, it may be the Holy Spirit at work. Thirdly, books are not alive. To make such a seeming insanity-claim places a HUGE burden of proof on you, firstly to explain what that seemingly incoherent claim even MEANS, and secondly to then DEMONSTRATE the veracity of the claim. Fourthly, I'll give the same challange to you. If the writtten Word is so 'alive', would you be content with the divine Word abandoning this universe, consigning you to the book as your only help, recourse,and resource?I remember a time when i was passing a very hard time, and in a impulse i decided to read the bible with all my strenght and with my voice too, believing everything that passed my mind about what i was reading, after a while i actually felt very clean inside, the bible is not just a book, it contains words of God that are actually alive.

It does not make sense to have multiple fillings of the Spirit. A receiving of more (or fulness) of the Spirit for a specific task or function is different. The verse will actually say that such a thing is happening. But there is no second refillings or third refillings. There is only one and that is at the point a person is saved by Jesus Christ genuinely (See Ephesians 1:13-14).
I would have to be convinced biblically. The verses I proposed on Cessationism in the OP are really clear to me. Does that mean I could not be wrong? Surely not. I like it when another person challenges what I think on Scripture. It helps me to pray more about it and to dig in God's Word more.
In any event, may the Lord's love shine upon you today (even if we disagree).
Pleaes review my original post. I said it DOES have an effect. Every book has persuasive power and, as such, potentially positive and negative effects.What i say the words of God written in the bible when read have an effect, made by God obviously. This cleansing or ministering effect is believed by many, and when i felt very clean was because the words in the bible made an effect in me through God clearly.
You discarded him because he met with Benny Hinn, Claudio Freidzon, but to say he does things by devil or is a physic is taking it too far and not reasonable at all, a 'kingdom divided in itself cannot last' he also expulsed an evil spirit from me that i had from when i was young. Sometimes our bad suspicion goes too far.
You said:Yes the church believes in the trinity
You said:Yes they allow to women to speak but they are not supposed to have authority over her husband. They just can speak.
You said:I never saw an interpretation of tongues
You said:No they don't do prosperity gospel or word of faith.
You said:I never witness a foreign tongue spoken language.
I don't care if holy laugther is true or not, i think it may be.
You said:People revolting on the floor gives me a bad feel, and i never witnessed that in our church.
I don't like that shakes in the head no, probably something 'weird' going on, i never witnessed that either.
You said:About healings
The pastor wife was declared 'done' by the doctors years ago because of cancer of uterus she was healed, i don't say someone Peter style done it but, i don't hear of much healings, somtimes there is testimonies that God healed someone, i actually don't think God has healed me of anything i know in any evident miracoulous way.
You said:I don't speak in tongues.

When the NT tells us that the law (the written Word) is powerless to sanctify (Rom 8:3), it is referring to TRANSFORMATIVE power (in the sense of regeneration).
A book can APPEAL to the inner man, that is, it can ASK HIM to change (which can and does change lives to a limited extent), but it cannot directly reach in and supernaturally make him a new creation.
Paul spread the gospel halfway around the world - on foot - with no broadcasting. How was he so effective? Revival. The power of actual transformation. By comparison to THAT high standard of power, Paul viewed the written Word/law as essentially powerless.
So it's a question of standards. Yes if you're referring to the low standard called 'persuasive power', the Bible is powerful by that low bar. So is the Koran.
No. Paul is writing as per under the inspiration of the Holy Ghost.
Maybe I can illustrate the point this way. Suppose you invented a drug designed to have very beneficial and detectable effects. So you decide to test it out on lab rats first. Half of them will take the drug, the other half a placebo or nothing at all. After some time you are disappointed. You detect little or no improvement in either group. What's your conclusion? The drug wasn't as effective as you hoped.What i say the words of God written in the bible when read have an effect, made by God obviously. This cleansing or ministering effect is believed by many, and when i felt very clean was because the words in the bible made an effect in me through God clearly.
This is a violation of 1 Corinthians 14. A woman is to keep silent in the church in speaking in authority over other believing men.

Ah, now I remember. That was a long time ago since we last talked about him.
Anyways, he was involved in holy laughter, and in teaching the Prosperity gospel; He is in league with Benny Hinn (Note: Benny Hinn is known for the prosperity gospel / Word of Faith movement - which are clear unbiblical teachings).
That's a plus. If you are not aware of it, there are One-ness Pentecostals (i.e. Folks who are Charismatic and yet, they deny the Trinity).

This is a violation of 1 Corinthians 14. Paul says a tongues speaker is to keep silent if there is no interpreter.
I am sorry to inform you that he is in league with a clear prosperity preacher and Word of Faith teacher (i.e. Benny Hinn).
Real foreign languages is the only version of tongues that was actually spoken in the Bible. There is no such thing as ecstatic utterances mentioned clearly in the Bible. Do you not think it is odd that the real foreign tongues speaking of other languages is absent and the version of tongues that is not clearly mentioned in the Bible is used. Granted, while I am not discounting God can operate in such a way, do you not think it is odd that the biblical version of tongues that is clearly described is nowhere to be found and yet the unclear version of tongues is shown instead? Seems kind of suspicious to me.
But it is not. God is not the author of confusion.
Nowhere in the Bible does God make other humans to life by the Spirit.
Yet, others think these things are perfectly normal.
I believe God can heal if we pray. I am talking about the gifting of miracles (Which you appear to agree that you have not see anything like that). This means that this gift is not operating in the same way as we see in the early church. For surely some church or some group or individual would report doing some amazing things and we would know about it because of the internet.
Because it is a gifting of the Spirit that was only for the early church.
Note: Keep in mind that I am also saying that I could be wrong, and it is possible some unknown group that is not so public could be operating by God's power. I am just not aware of this group.

The shakers were heretics, the quakers not christians.That's a cheap shot. The occult?
There is nothing new about shaking and quaking.
You have heard of the Shakers and the Quakers? (furniture and oat meal)
Todays Pentecostals and Charismatics are considered heretics and not Christians.The shakers were heretics, the quakers not christians.
<J0>...However, they are in err because they claim certain words in the original languages changes the meaning of our English translations in our bibles. In essence, they know better than the translators of the Bible. This kind of handling of the Scriptures never sits well with me because it looks like folks merely trying to change the Bible using the "original languages" card (When in reality nobody knows biblical Hebrew and biblical Greek like those people who lived during bible times; Only in believing God's Word that says that had preserved His Word for our generation today is their hope and trust in what His Word plainly says). For we received the word not in the wisdom of men, but as the very words of God (See 1 Thessalonians 2:13)....<J0>begin
I have asked this question before but received no answer. If to quote you, "nobody knows biblical Hebrew and biblical Greek like those people who lived during bible times;" How were the KJV translators able to give, I assume you believe, a 100% accurate translation 1600 years +/- after Jesus walked this earth?

.....As I said before Greek has been the language of Greece since 100s of years before Jesus and it remains the language of Greece today. While there might be some changes in the languages since NT times unless you have credible, verifiable , historical evidence otherwise the Greeks know exactly what every word in the NT means. And I am quite certain that you have no such evidence.
.....There was a time when Hebrew was not the day to day language of the Jews but it always remained the language of prayer and the synagogue. Read this article from the Jewish Encyclopedia instead whatever biased writings you have been reading.
