apostles and prophets along with the other giftings was given to the church AFTER the resurrection, Ephesians 48-11, until we come to the unity of the faith unto the perfect man, which all are still growing in.
So the apostles after the resurrection are in a specific ministry. There is no verse that says they have ceased.
One spirit cannot teach different doctrines that cause division. Surely there is false teaching and no apostles to fix the problem.Christ leads by His Spirit in every part. Apostle gifts and prophet gifts do not have dominion over others faith. They are rather helpers as led by the Lord and very prescious as they function in faith. But all the body can have Christ work in then
Ephesians 4:15,16,
1 Cor 14:26-38
1 Peter 4:10,11
Colossians 3:15,16
Romans 12:1-8
1 Thess 5:11
etc
I already have. I don't recall anyone refuting Grudem's analysis. So you'll have to remind me.
What about teachers?Because apostles were given the task of teaching us?
Sm is trying to say to us that the sig s wonders tongues healing were only for the apostles and only for the jews .so he thinks if he can prove there are no apostles today it will varify his perferred opnion.
The problem is.. Iv experienced demons vast out..and done it.
Iv experienced dreams . visions..other tongues.
Iv see many many healings as we lay hands on the sick including the deaf hear.
So .. He is simply wrong.
I dont believe there are apostles today. That's why the church division is not being fixed. Over 2000 years of division and no apostles to fix it.. That's my point, the evidence does not show that apostles are at work in the church today.I
But tell me of these "apostles" you speak of and I can consider them.
Not specifically, but refuting the view that this gift ended with the Apostles because an apostle had to have seen Jesus............
Thank you! I'm glad that you think of my spiritual gift that way.Apostles and prophets were only for the foundation of the church.

BROKEN RECORD!!!!! We know what you believe about this. You've only said it about a million times, and don't you dare accuse me of exaggerating!I dont believe there are apostles today. That's why the church division is not being fixed. Over 2000 years of division and no apostles to fix it.. That's my point, the evidence does not show that apostles are at work in the church today.
BINGO!!!!! They're teaching from their own minds or the minds of the theologians, not from the Holy Spirit!You mean the ones who teach division? Obviously they are not teaching from the same spirit otherwise there would be no divisions among them.
So? No one is asking you to read my posts and respond to them. BTW the post was not addressed to you. I was answering a question from another poster. He asked i answered.BROKEN RECORD!!!!! We know what you believe about this. You've only said it about a million times, and don't you dare accuse me of exaggerating!

No i wouldn't. What about satan deceiving many with lying signs and wonders?
