First we are not under OT law. If we where we would all be dropping over dead by Gods judgement. Next-the wages of sin is death. Not certain sins will bring death, just sin. It all goes back to that nice old lady who never does anything wrong. She feeds the hungry, donates to clothing...

Sin is sin. Nowhere does Jesus say that one sin is greater than another. The only reason people want to rate sin is so they can justify what they do as being not as bad as the other guy. The only consequence sin has is that when you die you go to hell and are cut off from God.

I agree that many people have used the gifts for their own gain, but there are a lot more who use these gifts the way the Lord has instructed and you hear nothing about them because it's all about giving glory to God. I'v seen people healed. I'v been involved with casting out a demon. God has...

Praying in tongues is also called praying in the Spirit. When we pray, we talk to God out of our flesh. He knows our hearts and moves accordingly. But to pray in the Spirit, the Holy Spirit intercedes for us. Speaking in tongues should never be used to make someone look important or holy...

That is so right on. I have also waited physically. I'v prayed and just sat on my bed waiting on the Lord and I have received revelation and peace. When the Lord sees that you are willing to take time for nothing else but Him, He will touch you in a powerful way. :pray:

I'm curious to know what news you have read that says tongues are rare. I think we should start back at my question, do you believe in the gifts of the Spirit? I understand some churches teach against the Spirit and I was wondering if that has had some infuence on you.

The question should be do you believe that the gifts of the Spirit are for today. If you say yes (like I do) then you must believe that all the gifts (tongues, prophecying, healing,etc...) are in effect today and available to anyone who wants them. Your right when you say that the Lord gives...

Thanks. When stated like that I can't argue with it, but when someone just outright attacks what I believe (which happens a lot around here) I will defend it.

a box of daffodils,

It seems everyone here has got the wrong idea about me. All you get to see(read) is my passion. If you were to meet me you would see that I'm not rude. Point blank may have been a little harsh a word to use, I'm "more to the point" in my conversations. I understand other people have other...

A little off the subject. What martial art is it?

Are you insulted by someone telling you that you have sinned?

Any christian who says God is making them sick does not know God. If God makes you sick then He is doing evil and God cannot do evil. God has allowed sickness to come into the world do to the original sin. God won't cause you to become sick, but it can be used to show people the power of God...

Well, there is the ten commandments. I know they are still relevent for today. The entire OT is reletive. It teaches us about God's past. It contains prophecy still yet unfullfiled. If I go to church and my pastor says that we don't need the OT then I would find a new church. I...

In the NT Jesus, Paul and many others quoted scripture from what we call the OT. If that was good for them, it's good for us. You seem to be looking for a legalistic veiw to justify instruments. If you are lead by the Holy Spirit to use them then use them. The NT (i think) does not talk about...

Hey, where's Troy Aikman. 3 super bowls in 4 years has to be worth something. Steve young was luckly to get 1 :D don't take this too seriously, i'm just haveing some fun.

They can sure bring an old dusty song to life :D

If someone truly wants to know God, He will send someone. With so many missionaries out the today, my hope is that the name of Jesus and what His name brings is getting into every part of the world and I hope He is getting to you as well.

1) To me, instruction and correction are pretty much the same. In Matt 18:15-20 if you are sinned against tell that person he is wrong. If they refuse to hear you take 2 or 3 witnesses and tell him again. here is an example of both instruction and correction. I feel both are needed to help those...

1) Being on fire means(to me) proclaiming the name of Jesus and not bowing to pressure to accept another persons ideas as fact when I know, through the bible and the Holy Spirit, that they are wrong. 2)How many times to I have to tell you that everything I say to my friend is in love. If...
