1 | hoyy spirit bap. evidence tounges? | Acts | onnig | 5471 | ||
Tongues are not a sign of Spirit baptism (conversion). You will need to be fair with your Scripture references. You never pointed out the fact that the noted passage in Mark (16:17) is not found in earlier manuscripts therefore it must be read with some regard. Actually verses 9-20's authenticity is questioned, your Bible should note that. As for Acts 2:3-4, the context is never mentioned here. This was during Pentecost and the Spirit gave evidence of His coming. In vers 5-6 "Now there were Jews living in Jerusalem, devout men from every nation under heaven. And when this sound occurred, the crowd came together, and were bewildered because each one of them was hearing them speak in his own language." The purpose of tongues here is not to show conversion but to make valid the gospel. Other verses point out otherwise in regards to tongues. In 1 Cor 15:1-25, the entire purpose of tongues is mentioned. The pivotal point is in verse 22. Please look it up. Oh, and another thing...in Mark 16:17-18, since we have to speak in tongues to be converted, why are we not including the other signs which are (drinking poison and not being harmed, picking up serpents, healing sick by laying hands on them, and cast out demons). Let's not have a pick and choose theology. |

2 | What does Acts 11:26 reall mean? | Acts 11:26 | onnig | 17247 | ||
Hello Mark, This part of Scripture doesn't really say anything to me about being called into ministry. How does this passage call you to ministry? |

3 | Opinions of J. Falwell on WTC attack. | Rom 3:23 | onnig | 16964 | ||
Debbie, You are right as well, we are children of Abraham as Paul mentioned, Gal 3:7 "Therefore, be sure that it is those who are of faith who are sons of Abraham" and Rom 4:16 "For this reason it is by faith, in order that it may be in accordance with grace, so that the promise will be guaranteed to all the descendants, not only to those who are of the Law, but also to those who are of the faith of Abraham, who is the father of us all, " So I agree with you that we are "sons" meaning sons and daughters of Abraham by faith because that's what it says, "by faith". There is a difference here, if you note in Romans 4:16, the passage "not only to those who are of the Law, but also to those who are of the faith " makes a clear distinction that there is a difference of the two. This is where you have to go to Revelation and see that the promise of God to the people of Judah are kept with the 144,000. There is a lot of theology behind this so it is important to understand end times and past promises of God to the Jewish people. With this distinction, II Chronicles 7:14 speaks to the people of the Law as Romans 4:16 distinguishes. Why are we trying to make the world a better place when the Lord is going to destroy it eventually? Of course we need to preserve some sort of decency and morality which without a nation cannot stand but eventually and inevitably, the whole world will fall. We must keep an eternal prespective, stop pointing blame and preach the gospel. If they reject you, shake the dust off your feet and go on to the next person. Onnig |

I will not answer any of your questions because it is obvious that you do not want an answer. Your sarcasm is uncalled for and your rhetoric is unbecoming. Instead of defending the person of Falwell, why don't you defend what he teaches? Why have you not said a thing about the quotes that he gives which I have commented on like II Chron. and Proverbs? Also, why can't you search from Scripture (John 5:39) as we are supposed to in things pertaining to eternal life, theology and biblical issues? I will not answer you until you retract what you said. | ||||||

Hi Glory777, The only problem with your comparison is that the Ninevites repented to the God of the Bible, the God Jonah was preaching about. Although here, in the USA, we have a host of different people from different parts of the world, muslim, hindu, etc. These prayer meetings that are calling on God were also calling on the god's of other religions. I hope that the USA will recognize the true God and Savior, that is the Lord Jesus Christ but I don't think that is going to happen. We cannot turn to God without recognizing the Lord Jesus Christ. We, as a nation, are not doing that. Onnig |

7 | What is a Saint? | 1 Cor 1:2 | onnig | 159347 | ||
The saints are not the religious elite as some would purport. Just do a word search for "saint" and you'll find a host of examples that refer the saints to all believers and not to a few "religious elite". The term "saint" [Hagios - Strongs (53), (2282)] means most holy thing. Read especially this verse which is very clear who are saints: Philippians 4:21,"Greet every saint in Christ Jesus. The brethren who are with me greet you.". Those who are in Christ Jesus. |

8 | Lost my salvation? (Hebrews 6:4-6) | Heb 6:4 | onnig | 17829 | ||
Amen Joe!! Tim, remember the parable of the sower? That is what applies to you. Where do you stand? I've pasted Jesus' explanation of these passages for your convenience: Matt 13:19 "When anyone hears the word of the kingdom and does not understand it, the evil one comes and snatches away what has been sown in his heart. This is the one on whom seed was sown beside the road. Matt 13:20 "The one on whom seed was sown on the rocky places, this is the man who hears the word and immediately receives it with joy; Matt 13:22 "And the one on whom seed was sown among the thorns, this is the man who hears the word, and the worry of the world and the deceitfulness of wealth choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful. Matt 13:23 "And the one on whom seed was sown on the good soil, this is the man who hears the word and understands it; who indeed bears fruit and brings forth, some a hundredfold, some sixty, and some thirty." Do you truly love the Lord Jesus Christ? If so, then as a soldier of Christ, you WILL BE wounded just like all of us. Those wounds are either self-inflicted or inflicted by the devil. I'm not speaking about physical wounds but spiritual ones that affect your conscience. But get back up and fight the good fight. Keep away from temptations, like the Apostle James said, "Resist the devil and he will flee from you." James 4:7. We all are proned to certain sins, we have to stay away from those sins that can master us, and of course all sins generally. Don't ever forget what the Apostle Paul said, Romans 8:38-39 "For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord." Notice he said "any other created thing", guess what, that even includes you!! You cannot even remove YOURSELF from God's hand if you are truly His. So praise God that He always keeps His promises, and continue in advancing His kingdom. Stop worrying about your problems and begin to serve the body of Christ. You will find real fulfillment there. In Christ, Onnig |

9 | Lost my salvation? (Hebrews 6:4-6) | Heb 6:4 | onnig | 17924 | ||
Amen Brother, I agree with you 100 percent. I am from a Calvinistic background but I do not embrace every reformed doctrine. I should edit my profile so that others won't get confused with the subtle Armenian/Arminian differentiation. You caught it! About the topic, when it comes to the assurance of salvation, I would say the same, it belongs to the saints who persevere! Those who persevere are held up through Christ. 1 Peter 1:5 "(believers/chosen) who are protected by the power of God through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time." How can any man say differently? I don't want to argue about it either, but think about it. What does it tell us if we can lose our salvation? Well, that says that God, who says that He loves us, cannot keep us until the last day which the verse about earlier (1 Peter 1:5) clearly speaks the opposite of. Losing salvation also says that man is the final arbitrator of his eternal destiny which removes God from the throne. It's very dangerous to say that we can lose our salvation, it blasphemes God. The author of Hebrews in verse 6:4 explains his comments in further verses. Look at verses 7 and 8 :"For ground that drinks the rain which often falls on it and brings forth vegetation useful to those for whose sake it is also tilled, receives a blessing from God; but if it yields thorns and thistles, it is worthless and close to being cursed, and it ends up being burned." The author is comparing those in verse 4 that have been "enlightened" and have "tasted of the heavenly gift" and have "been made partakers of the Holy Spirit" and have "tasted the good work of God" which have "fallen away" with those who have yielded "thorns and thistles" and are "worthless" and "close to being cursed" and who end up "being burned". What does this tell us? If you've noticed, Hebrews 6:4 starts with the word "For", which connotes an explanation to an appended previous thought. What was the previous thought? In Hebrews 6:1 the author wants to leave the "elementary teachings about the Christ" and to "press on to maturity" or in other words to start eating the meat of the Word since they have already had the milk. This means to attain a deeper understanding of the truth of Christ. The author notes what the elementary teachings he is referring to are, like: "repentance from dead works" and "instructions about washings and laying on of hands" and the "resurrection of the dead and eternal judgment". So in regards to these elementary teachings he gives another elementary teaching about those who fall away. So what does he say about who those are who have fallen away? Were they believers or not? He answers it in verse 9 as he begins, "But, Beloved" which always refers to believers, he says "we are convinced of better things concerning you, and things that accompany salvation, though we are speaking in this way." Here he makes a distinct difference with former group he spoke of in verse 4. He says that things that concern believers is synonymous with things that accompany salvation and then he continues through verses 10 - 20 to speak about God's unchangeable promise to keep those whom He has saved. Praise God! Onnig |
