    Tongues

    well the reason i brought it up is cause it's like the only verse that potentially acknowledges the reality of heavenly lanuages.... personally there is so much more i should take before God. :crossrc: But i totally agree with you. If God rose Hitler from the dead and gave him the gift of...

    Orthodox

    the word Catholic means Orthadox..... anyhow, Paul himself said he was just a mere man; God shined brightly through him, but Paul gave all the credit to God. Who are we to decide who God shines through or not? You can give any Christian any title, but a title is nothing without God's grace.

    Does the Holy Spirit give new reveltion binding on Christians outside of scripture?

    well, i'd still vote no. The Holy Spirit guiding us is inside scripture still. Anything outside of scripture is unbiblical. sola scripture.

    Watching for the fruit is a method of testing, but my method also works an so i think it should be used (correct me if i'm wrong) nice testamony bro

    I've got some questions...

    i agree with Washed Clean, we are born sinful (with unpure hearts) "Surely I was sinful at birth, sinful from the time my mother conceived me." (-Psalm 51:5 N.I.V.)

    Lesbian Methodist Minister

    Which law did she violate (/apart from being Lesbian) ??? A minister being Lesbian is completely unbiblical... RC Sproul was right. The greatest attacks on Christianity don't come from the outside the church, but from "within" it. :sigh:

    intire sanctification

    in James it says every good and perfect thing comes from God. SO all good inside us comes from God's grace as well :thumbsup:. Sanctification is the work of the Holy Spirit making us more like Christ. Faith and regeneration is the work of the Holy Spirit as well :thumbsup: awww grace...

    Did God lose control?

    beyound a doubt, God is all powerful and all knowing. He answers to no one. No one. And there is nothing he doesn't know. Nothing. Any teaching that goes against either of these is heresy 101.

    Is It A Sin to touch?

    masterbaition is having sex with your hand. I personally believe sex should only be with one's spouse, and in marriage only. Plus, masterbaition has physical consequenses as well. It trains and developes your mind to be self-stimulated sexually.That damages its (sex) purpose. Sex isn't...

    Prophecy tested but not tongues?

    This also bothers me!! Not testing them is like disobeying Paul kinda.... Heres how you test them. Find two people within your church/group that can truly interrupt the tongues. Have them by the person who's gonna speak in tongues, but seperated. Now when the person is speaking in tongues...

    Why does Jesus say this?

    simple, just like a little infant cannot surive on its own, so we must depend on God's grace for every step of our faith. Even our faith is a gift of grace... :thumbsup: we should have no pride in ourselfs, but in God alone. soli Deo gloria, latin for 'to God alone be the glory'

    Tongues

    Thx for replying about what i posted an not going steriotyping me as the average challenger of tongues. But, i don't see the clearfication. I still see Cor 14:2 as the word tongue being interchangable with the word lanuage; and thus it applies to every lanuage. Even english. Given such a...

    Tongues

    1.) i do know what to pray for. Jesus taught us how to pray. Pray for God's will. I want nothing God doesn't want. God is all powerful, and nothing is beyound him. He accomplishes all he sets out to do, and in this i find unspeakable comfort and peace. 2.) Hold Up, Paul says the mind is...
