An apostle in Australia

[John ben smith]

There is a man with the authority of god who can heal believers without medicine and give the holy spirit to those appointed to get it. He is the only man I've met who fulfils the law and the prophets. He lives homeless just as the apostles were homeless.

 

[FutureAndAHope]

Sounds like a good man, I pray he increases more and more. There are others in Australia who have seen the sick healed by prayer as there are around the world. Anyone who is in Christ and surrenders to His will can heal the sick. I have seen sick people healed by prayer (and are an Australian), yet I do not claim to be an apostle. We must be careful not to exult man but to exult Jesus who uses men.

 

[John ben smith]

Are you homeless, living without money as the apostles were in scripture, "imitate me as i imitate christ". If you understand what an apostle is you would know i am exulting christ.

 

[Heavenhome]

Who is this person? What does he believe?
Does he hold that the Bible is Gods word to us?
I believe ONLY GOD gives the Holy Spirit now.
However I would like to know more as
I am interested in this because I am in Australia.

 

[John ben smith]

He believes manifold wisdom from scripture. Yes to all of the above.

 

[dysert]

Has he healed everyone who has come to him? Has the healing been complete, or has he failed sometimes?

 

[Heavenhome]

Manifold wisdom is not the same as believing the Bible as the word of God.
That all things spiritual are to be in total agreement to the Bible. Does he preach this?
Who are the people who have been healed?
Has everyone who has come for healing been permanently healed, with no exceptions?

What is his name?
Can you tell us anymore?

The gift of healing is not a sign of an apostle. Neither is being homeless or legalistic.

Paul said the Corinthian church was his proof of apostleship.
1 Corinthians 9:2

What congregations does this guy have authority over?

He lives homeless just as the apostles were homeless

Who said the Apostles were homeless?

How about posting links to reports of him or to online recordings of him preaching, healing etc

Rather than give little bits of information, supply the means so we cam form our own opinion.

Are you homeless, living without money as the apostles were in scripture, "imitate me as i imitate christ". If you understand what an apostle is you would know i am exulting christ.

Where exactly does it say that the Apostles were homeless and living without money? St. Paul lived as a tentmaker, and St. Peter was married with a family.

Why should we believe "Guy on internet" about some self-professed "apostle", and find his homelessness as somehow proof of this?

It's easy enough to know that this isn't an apostle, and that's because the last of the apostles died almost two thousand years ago. There aren't any new apostles. Period. The apostolic mission and calling is the possession of the whole Church, and is exercised through the successors of the apostles--we call them pastors, because the Apostles established bishops and presbyters, in their stead, to preach the word and watch over God's flock.

Who said the Apostles were homeless?

It's like the opposite claim I've seen some others make when trying to give evidence of their supposed apostolic credentials, namely that the Apostles were filthy rich and living it up in the lap of luxury. You can probably guess what sort of folks might make such a claim.

Turns out, lots of people want to claim to be apostolic without actually bothering to pay attention to the apostles themselves.

2 tim 1:17 (the prophetic scriptures say) but when he arrived in Rome, he sought me out very zealously and found me.

Also, he does it for god not personal gain.

I don't understand what that piece of scripture has to do with anything.
Please could you answer some of the questions asked instead of posting "one liners"?
Nothing that has been said so far sounds remotely biblical to me and the whole apostle thing is not true anyway, as the Apostles, as previously stated died around two thousand years ago.
God (with capital G) has told us this already in the Bible which is what I use to test all things and not be deceived.
Again I ask what is this persons name?

 

[Hazelelponi]

The Apostles preached the Gospel, which means the Good News, of Christ to the World.

Healings in the Bible were to show they had authority from God, which proved the Gospel they were sharing also to be from God. Everything they did pointed to Jesus and salvation and nothing pointed to themselves. Just Jesus.

In comparison, the only thing this homeless person has done is point to himself.. many are healed, none are being saved, many are getting the Holy Spirit (reportedly) but none are turning from their sins and following Christ.

So, I'm not buying.

I'm with you Hazelponi

 

[Heavenhome]

And what is the purpose of any of these healings?
Thank you Hazelponi for pointing out the crux of the matter, IS THE GOSPEL preached?
That, alone is what truly matters: that people are saved.

 

[Heavenhome]

Sorry, Hazelelponi my misspelling.

This isn't a prophecy, it is describing that Onesiphorous sought Paul out while Paul was in Rome, and so Paul prays for God's mercy on Onesiphorous and his family back in Ephesus.

What does this have anything to do with anything?

All scripture is prophecy. Man's wisdom teaches it's a book of history, which is foolishness to god.
We once knew him according to the flesh. What you are saying is not even spiritual milk.

Imitate me as i imitate christ

Scripture interprets itself and is multifaceted, which means there is more wisdom than just the literal.

I hope that helps.
