    Tongues? Evidence? For Whom?

    OK. I think I need to clarify better. I use the Word just like we all should. But we can always interpret it in the way we like if we ignore what the Spirit of God is saying. The people wrote the Bible were all inspired by the Holy Spirit, right? So, we can be either legalism or spiritual...

    Tongues? Evidence? For Whom?

    OK. It's like this. My uncle often says, "Testing the spirit is important because the Bible says so." I agree with him and we all need to be able to discern spiritual things. He quotes the verse often and well whenever he hears some spiritual manifestations, signs and wonders or some sort of...

    Tongues? Evidence? For Whom?

    Using the Bible is.. I am all up for it. But the key is to be lead by the Holy Spirit. The word is living word. It's more than to take literally. That's I think I wanted to say. You can't use logos in specific situations. Logos word of God is more like a general guideline. But rhema by the...

    Churches should have choir - What's your thought?

    No. I don't meant to promote a church choir only. Rather, I want the choir to encourage the congregation to worship God. That's the purpose. I agree with you. 3 is the very problem. 1 and 2 are rather easy to solve. As I said, many pastors do not learn what worship is in theological schools...

    Tongues? Evidence? For Whom?

    Faith is another evidence rather, not the evidence. Or love and other fruit of the spirit can do the same ... But sometimes it is hard for us to know if one has received the baptism of the Holy Spirit from one's fruit of the spirit. Some people are more naturally kind, loving, etc. It is...

    Two Christians forced to beat fellow believer unconscious under threat of death

    The suffering is inevitable. I could only wish that the Lord will do something about it. Prayer is needed, and probably that's the best thing that many Christians can do right now. I pray for the pastors there and other workers that the Spirit of God will protect them and remove all the demonic...

    I had an interesting experience last week [NO DEBATE]

    Most likely, it's some demonic influence to me. A Christian can not curse like that in a normal environment. She didn't want God to heal the person?? I got that impression.

    Discouraged Christians

    6 is the key because it's more direct. It's the presence of God that changes one's heart. And ultimately, all the others are done by the Spirit of God. Men/women of God simply need to be lead by Him. It's not methodologies or formulas or experiences. It's God who saves. It's by the power of the...

    Tongues? Evidence? For Whom?

    The Beauty of Spiritual Language - By Jack Hayford has all the answers to those questions. But typically, many AOGs assume that when one speaks in tongues, other people are to confirm this person has received the Holy Spirit. It really is not their business to do that. A better way to see and...
