381 | Will there be marriages in heaven? | Matt 22:30 | kalos | 180112 | ||
No. No marriage in heaven. That's why it's called heaven. :-) | ||||||

Wiley, It is you who sees what you want to see and who doesn't even try to see what we are saying. You show me in the Bible where you are right. Merely believing that a thing is true does not make it true. And to say God condones that which he does not condone is to misuse the name of God. John |

383 | What is the law being spoken against | James 4:11 | kalos | 180106 | ||
That law is the Torah. You'll find it in the OT books of Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy. | ||||||
384 | ARE WE MARIED | 1 Cor 7:1 | kalos | 180089 | ||
You're not Adam and she's not Eve. Nor are you God. By that I mean pronouncing yourselves married or making believe you are doesn't make it so. I suggest you take the money you saved by not having a wedding, spend it on a Bible, and read it. Then read it again. Finally, we need to be extremely careful not to misuse the name of God. |

Isaiah 40: 29 He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength. 30 Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall: 31 But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint. Isaiah 41: 10 Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness. |

387 | Whom baptizes with the Holy Ghost | Bible general Archive 3 | kalos | 180045 | ||
You write: "Answer to the reply to my question. some one left a note saying that Jesus is the Holy Ghost. That being true how do you answer John 20:22?" But that is not true. Jesus IS NOT the Holy Ghost. There is one God in three persons -- not one God in one person. The question would be better worded, "IF IT WERE true that Jesus is the Holy Spirit, then how do you answer John 20:22?" But it is NOT TRUE. Moreover, Paul never baptized anyone with the Holy Spirit. Paul's breath never was the medium God used to baptize anyone. No one except Jesus Christ has the authority to baptize anyone with the Holy Spirit. Asuba, I really appreciate you and your posts and I encourage you to ask whenever you have a question. Grace and peace, John |

John answered them all, “I baptize you with water, but one more powerful than I am is coming – I am not worthy to untie the strap of his sandals. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire." Luke 3:16 The NET Bible 'With the Holy Spirit and fire. There are differing interpretations for this phrase regarding the number of baptisms and their nature. '(1) Some see one baptism here, and this can be divided further into two options. (a) The baptism of the Holy Spirit and fire could refer to the cleansing, purifying work of the Spirit in the individual believer through salvation and sanctification, or (b) it could refer to two different results of Christ’s ministry: Some accept Christ and are baptized with the Holy Spirit, but some reject him and receive judgment. '(2) Other interpreters see two baptisms here: The baptism of the Holy Spirit refers to the salvation Jesus brings at his first advent, in which believers receive the Holy Spirit, and the baptism of fire refers to the judgment Jesus will bring upon the world at his second coming. 'One must take into account both the image of fire and whether individual or corporate baptism is in view. A decision is not easy on either issue. The image of fire is used to refer to both eternal judgment (e.g., Matt 25:41) and the power of the Lord’s presence to purge and cleanse his people (e.g., Isa 4:4-5). The pouring out of the Spirit at Pentecost, a fulfillment of this prophecy no matter which interpretation is taken, had both individual and corporate dimensions. It is possible that since Holy Spirit and fire are governed by a single preposition in Greek, the one-baptism view may be more likely, but this is not certain. Simply put, there is no consensus view in scholarship at this time on the best interpretation of this passage.' Source: Study note at Luke 3:16, The NET Bible Gracia y paz (Grace and peace), John |

393 | Holy Spirit without evidence of tongues? | Acts | kalos | 180014 | ||
Revised 11-23-2006 Most of my life since childhood, I have belonged to and attended a major Pentecostal local church and denomination. I am now a member of a church that is part of that denomination. At the age of 14, two years after God saved me, I was *filled* with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave utterance. Later in life, after years of studying the Bible, I could no longer go along with my denomination's doctrines of the "baptism of the Holy Spirit", being filled with the Spirit, and speaking in tongues, which somehow got all mixed in together. Was my experience valid? Yes, it was. Did I actually receive the gift of tongues at age 14? Yes, I did. Do I believe the initial physical evidence of being baptized by OR filled with the Holy Spirit is speaking in tongues? No, I don't. A prominent Pentecostal writer (Ralph M. Riggs) wrote: "The BEST evidence of the fullness of the Spirit is A CHANGED LIFE" (emphasis added). Do all speak in tongues? The implied answer in 1 Cor 13 is no, not all speak in tongues. I now understand that I was baptized INTO the body of Christ BY the Holy Spirit (1 Cor 12:13) when I was saved (born again). At the same time, I began to be indwelt by the Spirit, as are ALL believers (Rom 8:9) On the night that I spoke in tongues, what happened? I was filled with (controlled and empowered by) the Holy Spirit, received the gift of tongues, and began to speak in tongues. Was I baptized by the Holy Spirit that night? No, that had taken place 2 years earlier when I first trusted Christ for salvation (2 Cor 2:13). My point is that I had an experience -- a valid experience -- in which I spoke in tongues for the first time. I continue to speak in tongues as I have for the last 42 years. But there are no exceptions to this principle: We don't prove the Bible by experience; we prove experience by the Bible. That is, we do not need experiences to prove that the Bible is true. We need the Bible to determine whether our experiences are true, whether they line up with the clear teaching of the Word of God. If they don't, then they are not of God. Even though I speak in tongues, I cannot ignore the clear Biblical teachings on being baptized by the Holy Spirit, being indwelt by the Holy Spirit, being filled with the Spirit, the gifts of the Spirit (including tongues), and the proper use of the gifts according to 1 Corinthians chapters 12-14. I still believe tongues to be a valid, current gift of the Spirit. I do not believe that tongues have ceased, as some do. Yet I abhor some of the Pentecostal and charismatic excesses that are contrary to Scripture, the misuse of the gifts, and just plain bad doctrine about the gift of tongues and the baptism by the Holy Spirit. |

394 | Whom baptizes with the Holy Ghost | Bible general Archive 3 | kalos | 180012 | ||
Baptized by or filled with the Holy Spirit Question: Do BAPTIZED BY the Holy Spirit and FILLED WITH the Holy Spirit mean the same thing? Answer: No, they do not mean the same thing. Being BAPTIZED BY the Holy Spirit (1 Cor. 12:13) is not the same as being FILLED WITH the Spirit (Eph. 5:18). Let the Word of God show us the difference between the biblical terms baptized, filled and indwelt. 1) BAPTIZED At the time of our salvation we are *baptized* (placed) into the body of Christ by the Holy Spirit (1 Cor. 12:13). NASB 1 Corinthians 12:13 For BY one Spirit we were all BAPTIZED into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free, and we were all made to drink of one Spirit. AMPLIFIED 1 Corinthians 12:13 For by [means of the personal agency of] one [Holy] Spirit we were all, whether Jews or Greeks, slaves or free, baptized [and by baptism united together] into one body, and all made to drink of one [Holy] Spirit. 2) INDWELT Also, at the time of our salvation, we are *indwelt* by the Holy Spirit (Rom. 8:9). NASB Romans 8:9 However, you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God DWELLS in you. But if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Him. AMPLIFIED Romans 8:9 But you are not living the life of the flesh, you are living the life of the Spirit, if the [Holy] Spirit of God [really] dwells within you [directs and controls you]. But if anyone does not possess the [Holy] Spirit of Christ, he is none of His [he does not belong to Christ, is not truly a child of God]. [Rom. 8:14.] 3) FILLED We are also commanded to be *filled* with the Spirit (Eph. 5:18). Eph. 5:18 'be filled with the Spirit. Paul has taught in this epistle that all believers are sealed with the Spirit when they believe (Eph. 1:13-14; 4:30), but not all are filled, since that depends on yieldedness to God's will (5:17). 'Filling' describes an experience that can be repeated (Acts 2:4; 4:31), and here, as in Acts, it is connected with joy, courage, spirituality and Christian character' (Ryrie Study Bible: Expanded Edition, note at Eph. 5:18). *filled with the Holy Spirit.* "In contrast to the baptism with the Spirit, which is the one-time act by which God places believers into His Body (1 Cor 12:13), the filling is a repeated reality of Spirit-controlled behavior that God commands believers to maintain. Peter and many others in Acts 2 were filled with the Spirit again (e.g., Acts 4:8,31; 6:5; 7:55) and so spoke boldly the Word of God. The fullness of the Spirit affects all areas of life, not just speaking boldy (compare Eph 5:19-33)" (p. 1635, MacArthur Study Bible, Word Publishing, 1997) Amplified Ephesians 5:18 And do not get drunk with wine, for that is debauchery; but ever be filled and stimulated with the [Holy] Spirit. And the evidence of being filled with the Spirit? Amplified Ephesians 5:19-20 Speak out to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, offering praise with voices and making melody with all your heart to the Lord, at all times and for everything giving thanks in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ to God the Father. (For my personal testimony of being filled with the Holy Spirit, see ID# 9759.) Grace to you, Kalos |

ASuba, Actually there is no such thing as being baptized "with" or "in" the Holy Ghost. According to the Scriptures, we are baptized "by" the Holy Spirit (Ghost). NASB 1 Corinthians 12:13 For by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free, and we were all made to drink of one Spirit. However, people are FILLED with the Spirit (filled not baptized) and I rejoice to see that you desire to be filled with the Spirit. I will post more on this subject later.

397 | Matthew 12:43-45 | Matt 12:44 | kalos | 179997 | ||
The Worthlessness of Self-reformation The theme of the parable in Matthew 12:43-45 is the worthlessness of self-reformation. It does not mean that after a person is saved he might become demon possessed. Note also that the text here does not say anything about the unclean spirit being "cast out." It merely says "Now when the unclean spirit GOES OUT of a man..." (emphasis added). "Self-reformation, without spiritual conversion, can lead to serious ramifications" (Ryrie Study Bible: Expanded Edition, Moody Press, 1995). Matthew 12:45 "*the last state of that man is worse than the first.* The problem is that the evil spirit found the house 'empty' (v. 44). This is the description of someone who attempts moral reform without ever being indwelt by the Holy Spirit. Reform apart from regeneration (being born again) is never effective and eventually reverts back to pre-reform behavior" (MacArthur Study Bible, Word Publishing, 1997).

398 | Is I Peter a Baptismal sermon | 1 Pet 1:1 | kalos | 179995 | ||
PETER, AN apostle (a special messenger) of Jesus Christ, [writing] to the elect exiles of the dispersion scattered (sowed) abroad in Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia, 1 Peter 1:1 AMPLIFIED This letter is from Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ. I am writing to God's chosen people who are living as foreigners in the lands of Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, the province of Asia, and Bithynia. 1 Peter 1:1 The New Living Translation The first epistle of Peter is a letter written to the exiles of the dispersion scattered abroad. Whether it was originally a sermon, we don't know because the text of the book does not tell us. However, "Peter may have been writing especially for...those planning to be baptized." According to The One Year Bible Companion, "The apostle Peter wrote this letter to encourage believers who would likely face trials and persecution under Emperor Nero...Peter may have been writing especially for new Christians and those planning to be baptized. Peter wanted to warn them about what lay ahead, and they needed his encouraging words to help them face opposition" (The One Year Bible Companion, 1992, Tyndale House Publishers).

Benny Hinn IN HIS OWN WORDS - Quotes - 'I am a 'little messiah' walking the earth' Benny Hinn, "Praise-a-Thon" on , November 6, 1990 'Adam was a super being when God created him. I don't know whether people know this, but he was the first Superman that really ever lived. First of all, the Scriptures declare clearly that he had dominion over the fowls of the air, the fish of the sea - which means he used to fly. Of course, how can he have dominion over the birds and not be able to do what they do? The word "dominion" in the Hebrew clearly declares that if you have dominion over a subject, that you do everything that subject does. In other words, that subject, if it does someting you cannot do, you don't have dominion over it. I'll prove it further. Adam not only flew, he flew to space. He was-with one thought he would be on the moon.' Benny Hinn, Praise the Lord program on , December 26, 1991 'Man, I feel revelation knowledge already coming on me here. Lift your hands. Something new is going to happen here today. I felt it just as I walked down here. Holy Spirit, take over in the name of Jesus... God the Father, ladies and gentlemen, is a person; and He is a triune being by Himself separate from the Son and the Holy Ghost. Say, what did you say? Hear it, hear it, hear it. See, God the Father is a person, God the Son is a person, God the Holy Ghost is a person. But each one of them is a triune being by Himself. If I can shock you - and maybe I should - there's nine of them. Huh, what did you say? Let me explain: God the Father, ladies and gentlemen, is a person with his own personal spirit, with his own personal soul, and his own personal spirit-body. 'You say, Huh, I never heard that. Well you think you're in this church to hear things you've heard for the last 50 years?' Benny Hinn, Benny Hinn program on October 3, 1991 'God came from heaven, became a man, made man into little gods, went back to heaven as a man. He faces the Father as a man. I face devils as the son of God... Quit your nonsense! What else are you? If you say, I am, you're saying I'm a part of Him, right? Is he God? Are you His offspring? Are you His children? You can't be human! You can't! You can't! God didn't give birth to flesh. You said, "Well, that's heresy." No, that's your crazy brain saying that.' Benny Hinn, Our Position in Christ #2-The Word Made Flesh (Orlando: Orlando Christian Center, 1991), videotape #255. 'And let me add this: Had the Holy Spirit not been with Jesus, He would have sinned. That,s right, it was the Holy Spirit that was the power that kept Him pure. He was not only sent from heaven, but He was called the Son of Man - and as such He was capable of sinning... Without the Holy Ghost, Jesus would have never have made it...Can you imagine Christ headed for the grave, knowing He would remain there forever, if the Holy Ghost would change His mind about raising Him from the dead?' Benny Hinn, Good Morning, Holy Spirit (Nashville: Thomas Nelson, 1990), 135-36. 'Ladies and gentlemen, the serpent is a symbol of Satan. Jesus Christ knew the only way He would stop Satan is by becoming one in nature with him. You say, "What did you say? What blasphemy is this?" No, you hear this! He did not take my sin; He became my sin. Sin is the nature of hell. Sin is what made Satan... It was sin that made Satan. Jesus said, "I'll be sin! I'll go to the lowest place! I'll go to the origin of it! I won't just take part in it, I'll be the totality of it!" When Jesus became sin, sir, He took it from A to Z and said, "No more!" Think about this: He became flesh, that flesh might become like Him. He became death, so dying man can live. He became sin, so sinners can be righteous in Him. He became one with the nature of Satan, so all those who had the nature of Satan can partake of the nature of God.' Benny Hinn, Benny Hinn program on (December 15, 1990). 'My, you know, whoosh! The Holy Ghost is just showing me some stuff. I'm getting dizzy! I'm telling you the truth - it's, it's just heavy right now on me... He's [referring to Jesus] in the underworld now. God isn't there, the Holy Ghost isn't there, and the Bible says He was begotten. Do you know what the word begotten means? It means reborn. Do you want another shocker? Have you been begotten? So was He. Don't let anyone deceive you. Jesus was reborn. You say, 'What are you talking about?'... He was reborn. He had to be reborn... If He was not reborn, I could not be reborn, I would never be reborn. How can I face Jesus and say, "Jesus, You went through everything I've gone through, except the new birth?'

"Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. [22] On that day many will say to me, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?' [23] And then will I declare to them, 'I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.'" Matthew 7:21-23 (ESV) Christianity Today on Benny Hinn 'Benny Hinn is controversial for his theology, his practices, and his claims. While he at one point denounced the word-faith message, he later picked it up again. 'Representatives of CRI and other evangelical apologetics ministries say they have noticed a pattern of Hinn telling people behind the scenes that he has changed, but then going on as before. (...) 'Indeed, for those who have been keeping an eye on him, Hinn has proven to be difficult to pin down. Not long after telling Christianity Today that the ''faith message'' (as articulated by such teachers as Kenneth Copeland ) does not ''add up,'' Hinn said that speaking out against Copeland was tantamount to ''attacking the very presence of God.'' Also, though affirming the concept of a triune God , he continues to maintain that the Holy Spirit has a ''spirit-body.'' 'In last year's interview with CT, Hinn said he would no longer use the term revelation knowledge in reference to some of his teachings because of the implication that those teachings were directly from God and thus infallible. While he has shunned the term revelation knowledge, just a few months ago on TV Hinn said that the Holy Spirit was at that moment teaching him that God originally designed women to give birth out of their sides. (...) 'According to Hanegraaff , Hinn several times denied to him having made the statement about women and birth. Hanegraaff said he finally told Hinn where he could find the disputed remark on the videotaped sermon. Hinn later acknowledged making the statement, calling it ''dumb.'' Hanegraaff said that when he reminded Hinn that he had credited the Holy Spirit with the teaching, the evangelist chuckled and said he had actually picked up the teaching from the (1963) Dake's Annotated Reference Bible. (...) 'Critics have also questioned Hinn's account of his testimony. Hinn says he was miraculously cured of stuttering, but PFO claims it has talked to several people from Hinn's youth who do not recall him stuttering. And in an article in PFO's next newsletter, Fisher challenges Hinn's claim that his father was the mayor of Jaffa, Israel. Hinn acknowledges that his father did not have the title of mayor, but says he performed the functions of mayor. Fisher says Hinn's father, who is now deceased, was ''a clerk in an Arab labor office.'''
