You said "Shouldn't we do the same yet you'll be hard pressed to see that atmosphere of praise and WORSHIP in most churches today must less be taught as something we should be about." You mentioned worship and I asked a questions ... interesting that you forgot. ---------------------- I didn't forget anything. Some questions aren't worth answering. Some people, too. Take a hint. ------------------------------------------ You said "private prayer life" ... if you are talking about 1 Cor 14:14-15 ... the CONTEXT is in the church - in public. If you have another passage, let me know. ----------------------------------- Perhaps if you re-read the Eptistles for the first time you'll begin to understand what Simon saw and not say it was just for the Jews at Pentecost.. You know who Simon was, right? And certainly Cornielus wasn't a Jew. Paul said he spoke with tongues more than them all. Question: Where do you think he was speaking them? From the pulpit that he was exorting to speak to be understood if there was no interpreter? Naah. When he said Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels,..what do you think he was referring to? Are you prepared to warp and twist that to protect some pet doctrine of yours? I wouldn't. I'd take it at face value considering who Paul was and what his life was all about especially if it is your experience as well. |

"What happened in John 20:22? Did they recieve the Holy Spirit? - if so, what happened in Acts 2:4 ... and between? - if not, what does this verse mean?" Good question, Searcher. Hope you can stick with me and no warp anything from it's moorings. Awhile back I stated there are three manifestations of the Holy Spirit no one responded to except to read my explanation. I didn't give one. I've been waiting for this opportunity. Ezk.44.17 says this: "And it shall come to pass, that when they enter in at the gates of the inner court, they shall be clothed with linen garments; and no wool shall come upon them, whiles they minister in the gates of the inner court, and within. They shall have linen bonnets upon their heads, and shall have linen breeches upon their loins; they shall not gird themselves with any thing that causeth sweat." Keeping the above in mind lets move on. If I say the Holy Spirit is with you I trust you'd have no problem understanding that. So that's number one. Moving up to John 20.22 to the scene with Thomas when Jesus appeared to them and then "He breathed on them, and said unto them, Receive ye the Holy Ghost". This is when they became "Born Again". In other words the indwelling to place; the first written of anyone's 'new birth in Christ'. That's number two. Next we come to Acts 2. But before that in Acts one we read this from the Lord who said to the newly new born disciples: "And, being assembled together with them, commanded them that they should not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, which, said He, ye have heard of me. Vs. 8 explains what that power is all about: "But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth." Various translations interpret the "come upon you" to mean "endue with power" or 'cloth with power". This is due to the verses in Ezk. 44 I placed at the beginning of the post. Here we see the third manifestation, i.e., the "coming upon" of the Holy Ghost. God, in Ezekiel, gives His reasons for the need for everyone to have their own Pentecostal experience. The Holy Spirit in this case represents the Priestly garment. Some also liken it to the engagement ring for the bride of Christ. You make your own distinctions which I'm sure you will but the one distinction that will remain is the need for power to function in intimate cooperation with the Father in His purposes for His Church for His Son. That's what the office of priest is all about. So we see that the three manifestation are "with", "in", and "upon". Do they not still remain of importance in the lives of today's professing Christians. Now, one for you: Why did the priest of the OT tie a rope around their ankle before going into the "Holy of Holies"? |

326 | What is the context? | Acts | Ken hepting | 92265 | ||
Scripture ... Matt 7:7-12, 18:15-20; 1 Cor 12:27-13:3 ... The context of Matthew 18:16 is verses 15-20, which deals with discipline. Matthew 7:7-12 (vs 9) is not about spiritual gifts. Who said it was? YOU ASKED FOR MY REFERENCE FOR THIS: "What is the context of "He won't give you a stone if asking for a loaf"? Matthew 7.9 is my reference. ARE WE CLEAR ON THIS? ------------------------------------- "Which gift is greater (1 Cor 12:27-13:3)? Why is it listed next to last? What tongue did the angels speak to men ... something they understood" I believe you like to twist words, Searcher and I'm beginning to lose my respect for you. I'm repeating myself but maybe it is that you just can't read too well. Paul said this: I Corth.13:1 "Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels,................". Now lets be CLEAR. These are what languages Paul said HE spoke, not what was spoken TO HIM. So your "wanting to know"? if angel language can be understood by man is frivolous and insulting. As to what gifts are the greatest and why is tongues mentioned last, I ask, do you speak in tongues? Do you have any of the gifts mentioned in 1 Corthinians 12? If not, and I suppose you don't, then why assume tongues is the lesser of any of the gifts, but that's how I suppose you WANT to believe or are told to believe. Do you know Bob Jones? |

"Not nearly as much as you are assuming, judging by your posts in this thread. Assuming that they had Scriptures in their possession is anything but a stretch. So what do YOU think was going on in the upper room? Please support your suppositions with Scripture" Acts 2. 2:1 And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, AS THE SPIRIT GAVE THEM UTTERANCE. If you want to add to that you will be assuming. That's anyones best shot who wasn't there! You do know what assuming does don't you? Personally I'd run with what is written. It's enough and it's still happening today. ---------------------------------- Ah, yes. The "good Bible study" that the church lacked for 1850 years of its existence. How wise 20th- and 21st-century American Christians are! They should have had more of us in the early church. Then maybe there would be no denominations and all of us would be writhing around on the floor in Christian unity... We are priviledged now, aren't we, in more than one way, I'm happy to say? Too bad most won't take advantage of that and allow themselves to be robbed of God's ultimate intention because of some "hangup's" that has been brought on by pride, false teaching, and/or misinformation. |

"I have the gifts of teaching and discernment". Never heard of the gift of teaching. Everyone in Christ should be apt to teach but it does sound like you have the gift of conceit, and boasting. Maybe you should re-consider what Paul is defining as gifts and adminstrations. Most everything he states is of a supernatural experience requiring you get out of the way. |

"And you are accusing ME of pride?!?" :) Yes, along with being presumptuously dull, as in obtuse. You have no understanding and you've shown it here with me. Here's a good example: "So Acts 2 tells what happened to those in the upper room, not what THEY were doing". Acts 2 does tell us WHAT they were doing. They were in one accord. That's what they doing. One accord means agreement. If you had any senses about you you would understand that they were praying, worshipping and generally waiting on the Lord as He instructed them to do. It's called "tarrying". That's the sort of thing one does when waiting on the Lord. Maybe you don't do that at your church. Maybe that's the problem with the church in general, today. You probably praise Him in silence. Is the what you do? And you say you have the gift of what? discernment? One needs understanding for that gift to be effective. |

Eph 4:11 And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; These are not gifts. They are Ministries. They are learned. There are schools of learning for such OFFICES. |

Great question. For the record, I've always had a problem with 13 -1 Corth. until I began to view it as the habitation of God Himself. Ergo, the kingdom of Himself with Jesus Christ being the King/Ruler. Re-read the chapter and substitute out the word 'love' with the word 'God'....That's His name anyway so you really aren't changing any words around to satisfy some bent of private interpretation. For that matter you could insert the phrase 'kingdom of God' and still be correct. Lets try it on part of it: 1 Cor. 13:1 [NASB] If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but do not have love [God], I have become a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but do not have love [abide in the kingdom of God], I have become a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. Lets extend it: If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but do not have "the mind of God", I have become a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. One more time: If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but do not have "the FAITH of Christ", I have become a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. Now when you read the scriptures elseware in the Bible Like James 2:17: "Even so faith, [the faith of Christ I live by], if it hath not works, is dead, being alone." [---] my emphasis. We can see that we must "abide in Christ" in the kingdom [which is Himself] to do those kinds of works since HIS faith is the faith that pleases God.. Why? Because it is the mind of God...equal to Himself...perfection! The center of Christianity. When I actually saw it in a Spiritual Geograpghical way then I began to see my condition with it problems that couldn't be solved until I moved over there...Abiding. |

"For starters had God wanted to use another word for the nominative, feminine, singular, in verse four, for the noun AGAPE, I am sure it would have been no problem for Him to do so; but He didn’t!" But I did and gave my reasons. Sorry that you don't see it as a/my way of explaining the kingdom of God and the intimacy of how God is connected with it.. If you can point to something in that reasoning that does injury to scripture, please do...I'm open to adjustment. ------------------------------------ What I was trying to point out to you, in a casual fashion, is that you have verbally insulted and belittled a brother on the forum with your snide answer to a question and have upset some on the forum. I've been upset also and apparently I missed what you intended to point out to me in a casual way. How about giving me two outta three? Yours in love also, KNH |

335 | Who are the Pentecostals? | Acts 1:8 | Ken hepting | 100706 | ||
[Other spiritual gifts, such as healing, love, joy, prophecy, and answers to prayer, also make up Pentecostals' experience of God.] The "Handbook of Denominations" is off on the above Mararios. Love and Joy are fruit, not gifts. That surprises me they could make such a mistake. |

336 | Who are the Pentecostals? | Acts 1:8 | Ken hepting | 100720 | ||
Yes, I believe that kind of thing is harmful when they don't get it right. But then it really is our responsibility to check it all out from anyone ...but not from the standpoint of discrediting anyone. Thanks, Mar. |

337 | "My witnesses?" | Acts 1:8 | Ken hepting | 100732 | ||
I understand, Mom.. In light of what you just wrote, i.e., believers who don't pursue, can you see something in that as it applies to John 3.3,5 and the consequences of such neglect? Check your statement with:Hebrews 2:3 (KJV) How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them that heard him; [Note the word is neglect and NOT reject.] |
