    being filled with the holy spirit...

    It's a referrance to how the disciples received the gift of the Holy Spirit in Acts 2. Yes, typically the gift of a prayer language is the same as tongues. Read 1 Corinthians chapter 12, it speaks of Spiritual Gifts. Chris

    Would it matter if God did NOT exist?

    Simply, God cannot be LOVE (everywhere in NT) without someone to Love. At the very least, he had to form the Trinity. Chris

    peace or sword?

    John Gill's exposition of the Bible says this: ******************************************************************** Mat 10:34 - Think not ye that I am come to send peace on earth,.... The Jews had a notion of great outward peace and prosperity in the days of the Messiah; which was grounded on...

    Would it matter if God did NOT exist?

    I will agree that far too many people are Christian out of a sheer desire for "fire insurance" but to assume that TwinCrier would not be Christian except out of a fear of dying is ludacrious. I will agree that some out there are teaching 90% law and 10% grace (Ray Comfort is a perfect example)...

    Did God forgive Judus?

    I think we are all missing one core point. Judas did not take his own life. He took the life God gave him. None of us have the right to "resort to" suicide, because we were bought with the blood of Christ. Regardless of the implications of whether Judas repented beforehand or afterward (who's to...

    being filled with the holy spirit...

    I would highly reccommend a book entitled "Baptism of the Holy Spirit" by Don Basham. I picked it up at the local Family Christian Book Store (and have seen upteem copies on half.com, etc.) It's a really great book and it's set up as a frequently asked questions list. It goes through all the...

    Can you loose your salvation??

    WRONG WRONG WRONG WRONG WRONG WRONG 6It still remains that some will enter that rest, and those who formerly had the gospel preached to them did not go in, because of their disobedience. John 15:6 - Jesus said, "If anyone does not abide in Me, he is cast out as a branch and is withered (Note...

    This question will blow your socks off.....

    I feel bad for Christians when they have to ask this question. You'd think that we as people who possess the greatest gift in the world would be the easiest people to talk to. Sadly, because we are all so wounded, we tend to be downtrodden and introverted. Friend, I would encourage you to...

    Why is the Church so silent

    I question the inherent truth to your argument, sir. It seems to me that Christians are being tragically silent, not the church. It's my Pastor's job to seek out the lost and feed his sheep, and then MY job to go out and change the world. My pastor and my church (and the church in general I...

    worship styles

    I felt compelled to respond to the idea of differing worship styles. This is my first time on this forum and first post, so bear with me. I felt it necessary to bring scripture into the picture, as I have been at both ends of the spectrum. I was born and raised Methodist and we NEVER lifted...
