Noted a response by Hank concerning John McArthur bible stating that no one has or operates in the gift of healing today.This is not what the Bible says. If you noticed in Luke 10vs1.Not only were the Apostles given authority to cast out demons,heal the sick and raise the dead but also here in Luke 70 others who were not Apostles. Look at Luke 10:17 Lord,even the demons are subject to us in your name. Also if you look at the Gifts to Gods people you will see in 1 Cor 12:7 But to each one is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good.Further reading in verses 9 and 10 indicate gifts of healing and miracles.Why? look at 1 Cor 12:11 But one and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing to each one individually just as He wills. Now for the clincher. 1 Cor 12:28 And God has appointed in the church, first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, administrations, various kinds of tongues. This is the new testament church for today beyond the apostles.To me anyone who says miracles are not for today needs to read these scriptures. Van | ||||||

Greetings royalone and welcome to the forum. Many of the gifts of the early church were in effect just long enough for spoken Word to be complete in book form and received. That which was perfect had come. People finally could see God’s Message and they listened to it as soon as the perfect written word had been fully established and the special gifts dwindled away and in place is the completed Cannon of Scripture that expressed the mind of Christ Center stage became redirected from certain members endowed with a special gift to God directly and God’s written word. The show gifts had there time is the sun now all of the attention is pointed to the Son, he gets all the Glory and credit. 1 Cor. 2:16 For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ The spectacle gifts have given way to Gods written word which are conveys directly in His Word. Any believer can go directly to the throne of grace for help. Hebrews 4:16 Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need. CDBJ |

I can only agree with the fact that what you call the show gifts are common place amounst pentacostal and charismatic believers throughout the world.I will agree with most of the scriptures you quoted..we have the mind of christ but see no link to the what Jesus commanded us as believers to do today. I don't see the perfect as come untill Jesus comes back for his bride.This is a weak scripture to claim all gifts of the spirit are done away with today.No verse directly says the gifts and offices of the spirit are not in effect today.Just the contrary.Yes any believer can go directly to Jesus for help and should so,however often God sends his word through his servents to heal others.1 Cor 12:28 And God has appointed in the church, first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, administrations, various kinds of tongues. Did you notice the word Church..It does not say these gifts were for only the chosen in a certain time period.We are the body of Christ and his Church today.Rom 12:6 Since we have gifts that differ according to the grace given to us, each of us is to exercise them accordingly: if prophecy, according to the proportion of his faith.I percieve that your stream of ministry does not teach or believe in miracles or the gifts of the spirit. Im ok with that as I dont expect all to believe the Word as I do.The most important thing is that your a believer who is walking with the Lord. Van | ||||||

Hi Royalone, I'm happy to find someone like-minded here. I am a recipiant of healings (a flattened, broken ankle bone that was prayed over, and hours later showed no signs of injury, just a lot of dried blood), miracles (nothing major, just a typical Ga. thunderstorm with broken windshield wipers, so the area in front of car received no rain on it as we drove on to a very important appointment). And these are just 2 occasions, there were more; and could have only been of the Lord, for it was in His Name that we prayed and believed; the devil certainly didn't get any credit. And the praying in the Spirit (in tongues) is for the edifying of the persons praying or persons being prayed for. As Rom. 8:28 says: Likewise the Spirit helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought; but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. Neither can I find anywhere in the Bible where the workings of the Holy Ghost is cut off as no longer to be needed. If anything, we need Him now active in our lives as much as then. This world is terribly evil. blessings cheri |
