    rapture

    Baptist (and premillennial) theologian Dale Moody, wrote: "Belief in a pre-tribulational rapture . . . contradicts all three chapters in the New Testament that mention the tribulation and the rapture together (Mark 13:24–27; Matt. 24:26–31; 2 Thess. 2:1–12). . . . The theory is so biblically...

    Question about Magic?

    Witchcraft, sorcery, etc., are condemned without qualification in both the Old and New Testaments. Deuteronomy 18:9-14 - Every aspect of the occult is here mentioned specifically. It is all an "abomination" and is forbidden. Specifically forbidden are: one who practices "witchcraft" and a...

    How Does One Obtain Eternal Life?

    Paul tells us: "For [God] will reward every man according to his works: to those who by perseverance in working good seek for glory and honor and immortality, he will give eternal life. There will be . . . glory and honor and peace for every one who does good, the Jew first and also the Greek...

    The Sign Gifts

    Perhaps you should read Scripture, my friend. 1 Corinthians 12:4-11 4 There are different kinds of spiritual gifts but the same Spirit; 5 there are different forms of service but the same Lord; 6 there are different workings but the same God who produces all of them in everyone. 7 To each...

    The Sign Gifts

    Yup, we all have gifts... we just need to ask for the Holy Spirit to show us how to use them. I asked for the gift of tongues and one day, I just started doing it. I couldn't stop all day, it was quite comical. Before I prayed for the gift to be "taught" to me, I tried to do it on my own and...

    The Sign Gifts

    I've seen people go down in just about every way lol. You don't have to be "touched" to rest in the Spirit. I once saw a Deacon look up from praying over someone and point to a lady who could not walk up to him to be prayed over and she fell back in her chair and rested in the Spirit. In...

    The Sign Gifts

    Being "slain" or "resting" in the Spirit is when you are being prayed over and you suddenly "fall asleep" so to speak. The Holy Spirit is working in you, be it physical healing (which I have witnessed) or just giving you peace. It's an awesome experience and should not be taken lightly...

    How do I get the Holy Ghost?

    Catholic of course.... At Baptism, we hear of the role of the Holy Spirit in the prayer over the baptismal water: Father, look now with love on your Church, and unseal for her the fountain of baptism. By the power of the Spirit give to the water of this font the grace of your Son...

    The Sign Gifts

    There are two different ways of speaking in tongues. One is "praying" in tongues which is when you are praying over someone or in private and you run out of words... it's just a prayer language and is ok to do anytime, anywhere. Second is "speaking" in tongues which is general prophecy which...

    Can I lose my salvation?

    What You Must Do to Be Saved Best of all, the promise of eternal life is a gift, freely offered to us by God (CCC 1727). Our initial forgiveness and justification are not things we "earn" (CCC 2010). Jesus is the mediator who bridged the gap of sin that separates us from God (1 Tim. 2:5); he...
