Do you have the "gift" of drinking poison?Now youve come full circle..
1.i never said its only for then .
2 . how many times do we testify in the name of Jesus of all the gifts in operation today?
3. You have ZERO scripture upon which to say the Holy spirit ceased being the Holy Spirit of God.
Do you have the gift of common sense?Do you have the "gift" of drinking poison?
Not nessacarily.. They used Old methods of casting the lot. Basicly they drew straws. and did so BEFORE they were baptised in the holy SPIRIT.Not as an apostle. You can't deny that apostles were led by the Spirit to choose Matthias.
You are going in a circle. Didnt you see where people were posting that poison drinking and casting out demons proved that we have the gifts of the spirit? They even claimed that we are commanded to do those things! Dont you see the relevance of my question now?Do you have the gift of common sense?
Can you read ? Can you please quote the scripture listing that as a gift?
Of course not.
Your reply is on the level of childishness.
Am i conversing with 9 year olds?So believers today are immune from deadly snake bites and drinking poison, just as they can speak in tongues and cast out devils?
have not seen those posts and dont care what people say.You are going in a circle. Didnt you see where people were posting that poison drinking and casting out demons proved that we have the gifts of the spirit? They even claimed that we are commanded to do those things! Dont you see the relevance of my question now?
As i said .. You have NOTHING in scripture to base your pre selected theories on.So believers today are immune from deadly snake bites and drinking poison, just as they can speak in tongues and cast out devils?
Without truth and rebuke love is feigned.Without love my friend, no gift in the church would prosper. Love is kind, gentle, and seeks not its own. The apostles also teach us to carefully rebuke each other, not hastily using such language.
My you are pushy. Didnt quite get that love thing down yet i guess. No problem im still working on it myself.Without truth and rebuke love is feigned.
Go back and read and believe the scripture.
And by the away..it is dishonest to repost what people say by editing out the text giving context.
And also against cf rules
Am i conversing with 9 year olds?
You are filled with choosing unbelief.
Many missionaries have had local witch Doctors poisen them . but they gave thanks for thier food and were unharmed.as a sign to the sinners. Who later converted due to the Gospel being accompanied by the msnifestation of the Power of God.
It occurs far more often then you know.
You need to repent.
Of unbeliefHave you heard of the fallacy of ad-hominem?
Ad hominem (Latin for "to the man" or "to the person"), short for argumentum ad hominem, is a logical fallacy in which an argument is rebutted by attacking the character, motive, or other attribute of the person making the argument, or persons associated with the argument, rather than attacking the substance of the argument itself.
Sure I am.
Unbelief in the fanciful unsubstantiated 2nd hand stories from internet strangers that are offered as proof of miracles.
Unbelief in the claims that people are speaking in tongues when it doesn't match the biblical description.
Unbelief in the claims that thoughts popping into people's heads is prophecy.
Unbelief in the claims that apostles exist today, when nobody can meet the biblical qualifications.
Unbelief in the claims that the leg lengthening parlor trick is really a faith healer growing a limb.
Unbelief in the claims that someone is miraculously healed when it takes 3 months to get better.
Unbelief in the claim that being 'slain in the Spirit' is really a work of the Holy Spirit.
Unbelief that of claims of someone's back pain easing during an adrenaline flowing faith healing spectacle is really a healing. when it returns the next day.
Unbelief in the health and wealth gospel.
What I believe are the scriptures. And pentecostal/charismatic ideas and practices do not align with them.
Ah once again we resort to unproven pentecostal hearsay. For every one of them fanciful 2nd hand stories, I could get you a hundred examples of Christians who have been hurt or even died of snake bites.
Of what exactly?
The lord chastises those he loves.My you are pushy. Didnt quite get that love thing down yet i guess. No problem im still working on it myself.
Yes, He does.The lord chastises those he loves.
Love without correction and rebuke is not love. Its neglegence.
Now since almost every post from you is of a childish nature and seldom discussing the issue and never from scripture.
Im popping you on "ignore" for a while so i cant see your posts.
In all this thread you have ZERO scriptural basis to say the gifts have ended.
But your still left with ZERO scriptural basis to say the attributes (gifts) of the Holy Spirit have ended.
Just a staggering amount of NOTHING SCRIPTURAL.
And why say God is mute? he spoke in the entire OT and NT, why he would stop now!, saying that is very arbitrary.
He stopped speaking for 400 years when the OT canon was completed. Why shouldn't he stop again when the NT canon was completed.
