jesus healed the sick .. commended his diciples to do the same .. and then commanded them to teach more disciples( from ALL nations ) to do the same . if you cant put it all together i guess its as anther suggested .. spiritual constipation
Im looking at the big picture here. I have already explained that if the Churches cant agree then this is evidence that they are not following the Spirit because the Spirit would not teach us confusion and division. How can one church have such diverse doctrine? Protestants and Catholics are nothing alike so how can they both be Spirit filled?There are people filled and God doing miracles in their churches, but you see no all denominations agree with them, they don't get recognized for some reason, but things still happen, christians are filled, some get healed, demons are cast out, God reveals problems and other things, some ministers can give prophecies, giving you details of your life that is not possible for them to know otherwise. And more! because i'm not in touch with the big things God is doing everywhere, but just difaming these churches, and not believing anything like these happen today or worse putting all of that saying is from the devil is not doing any good you see.
He also said beware of false teachers. Where are these false teachers? Which church?you've not named any
jesus said these signs will follow those that beleive .they shall lay hands on the sick and they shall recover . they shall speak in other tongues etc .
is the lord jesus guilty of false doctrine to be repented of.?
i say the lord Jesus said it . i believe him . are you saying i should repent of believing him ?
sorry youve misunderstood ... I already have the anointing ...it doesn't come and go its not power in itself .its a term to describe pouring or smearing oil to designate that a person has been placed permanently in a position of authority (in this case spiritual ). any one who has been baptised in the holy Spirit has recieved the anointing of God giving them spiritual authrotiy to be his witness . to heal the sick preach the gospel drive out devils baptise people and disciple others .. its already DONE .One thing though, you should keep the door open for the idea of the annointing, if you don't like it somehow, it can happen our ideas and experiences can mislead to think something is not in a way, but it actually is, i know a preacher who preachs about the annointing and he is legit, i have 1st hand experience with him, some things can appear strange to us or that they are not from God, but for other people those things are a reality.
your of those churches that dont agree -so YOU cant be in the spirit .according to your own wordsIm looking at the big picture here. I have already explained that if the Churches cant agree then this is evidence that they are not following the Spirit because the Spirit would not teach us confusion and division. How can one church have such diverse doctrine? Protestants and Catholics are nothing alike so how can they both be Spirit filled?
I was at a men's retreat in New Mexico a month ago. We were having a time of intense worship when I felt like He was speaking "a word" to me. It so impacted me that I got up from kneeling on the floor and sit in my chair to type what He said in my phone, which was; "I said you would do greater things than I. The reason you will be able to do so, is because you will have access to the authority I never had until I was given 'the name above every name'".....after my resurrection!"
Hopefully you know scripture well enough to know more than just what He said. I was jubilated and shared it with several brothers (MEN'S retreat sis) One of which was our pastor, and one other was the lead pastor of the retreat. He was from the mega church who put on this retreat which our little church was one of many invited. Upon sharing it and understanding the impact of it he looked and me and said; "Man THAT'S from God!" and again, I believe
As candidates now so shall WE then stand , as those who 'believe and obey on that glorious day'.
I'm done for tonight. God be on you.
That's right, there is division because some Christians started teaching the unscriptural doctrine that some of the gifts ceased when the NT apostles died. They were wrong, and Christians have been divided ever since.We clearly have division. Did the apostles bring division? Nope.
You said Jesus commanded "us" to heal the sick, raise the dead, cast out demons. Where?
Your response is what i have come to expect. Not factual. The church is divided over much more than that.That's right, there is division because some Christians started teaching the unscriptural doctrine that some of the gifts ceased when the NT apostles died.

Come on, W2L, you missed my sarcasm. Didn’t you notice the winky emoji? Blessings!Your response is what i have come to expect. Not factual. The church is divided over much more than that.
Apostles are also messengers of the churches , sent ones with a message as Barnabas and Paul were in Acts 13 and 14:14.They were sent as messengers of the churches to deliver the message to them.The Greek word 'apostolos' has 2 meanings. By far the most common usage in the NT is an eye-witness, miracle working, divinely appointed apostle of Christ. The other usage, which is only used a couple of times (this being one of them), means a messenger. Titus was a messenger of the churches. In virtually every English translation the word in that verse is correctly translated messenger.
There is so many reasons for false division. The devil is involved, the flesh, men following corrupt teachers. The false one man pastor exalted man over the whole body where the five fold gifts cannot function as they should etc etcIf we have apostles, prophets and teachers, why is the church so divided? Can it be because they are teaching flawed doctrine? Would a true teacher do that?
There is one reason for division and that is because the churches are teaching different doctrines that dont agree.There is so many reasons for false division.

And even in the early churches we read of sin in the camp and false teachers exalting themselves and teaching thing which they ought not drawing away disciples after them etc.
And what's the reason for churches teaching different doctrines?There is one reason for division and that is because the churches are teaching different doctrines that dont agree.
