1082 | that she may show reverence as do] the a | 1 Cor 11:10 | prayon | 110717 | ||
Greetings mommapbs,The reason that women were told to wear coverings on their head was because in the Corinth culture prostitutes had to shave their head. Once they were saved they had to wear coverings on their heads so they would not be advertising that they were prostitutes. because of the angels; various are the senses given of these words, some taking them in a proper, others in a figurative sense: some in a proper sense of angels, and these either good or bad. Tertullian (e) understands them of evil angels, and that a woman should cover her head in time of worship, lest they should lust after her; though much rather the reason should be, lest they should irritate and provoke lust in others: but it is better to understand them of good angels, who attend the assemblies of the saints, and observe the air and behaviour of the worshippers; wherefore women should cover their heads with respect to them, and not give offence to those pure spirits, by an indecent appearance: it is agreeable to the notions of the Jews, that angels attend public prayers, and at the expounding of the word; they often speak (f) of an angel, äîîåðä òì äúôìåú "that is appointed over prayers".

1083 | Is physical communion needed? | 1 Cor 11:23 | prayon | 165706 | ||
Greetings and welcome to the forum! Yes. In verse 25 it says "Do this in remembrance of Me". Verse 26 goes on to say that each time we take communion we proclaim the Lord's death until He comes. In v 33 Paul says "when you come together" which tells us that they were to do so in the future, not just the one time that Paul was doing it with them. The bible, however, does not tell us how often to partake of the Lords supper and different denominations have different viewpoints on how often it should be done. Hope this helps. prayon |

1084 | Weekly Communion? | 1 Cor 11:25 | prayon | 4255 | ||
There is no mention in the bible on how often we should partake of the Lord's Supper or Communion. Just as there is many different views as to what you are partaking of, (ie., for catholics the elements become the blood and body of Christ, for Lutherans they take on the characteristics, for Presbyterians they have no physical changes but have spiritual changes and for the Baptists it is all symbolic) different religions interpret how often you should partake of it. Sorry I couldn't give you a more definitive answer. prayon |

1085 | Weekly Communion? | 1 Cor 11:25 | prayon | 4342 | ||
In my translation - New Revised Standard life Application Bible - it has a footnote to verse Acts 20:7 that states "a fellowship dinner- much like a potluck supper was eaten before the Lord's supper was celebrated with the breaking of bread and the drinking of the cup". I'm not sure that this does specifically say that they did communion every week or not. "As often as possible" could also be taken to mean everyday. Luke 22:19 and 1Cor 11:24 say simply "do this in remembrance of me". 1Cor11:25 says "do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me". As I stated before there is no right answer as to how often. It all depends how your particular denomination believes. | ||||||
1086 | Weekly Communion? | 1 Cor 11:25 | prayon | 22703 | ||
Some churches partake of the Lord's supper once a week, some partake of it once a month. I repeat what Nicholson said earlier: The main question is not HOW OFTEN we are going to partake but how sincerely and with how much clear understanding we do it is that really matters. prayon | ||||||

Greetings berhane! I would ask you to do a search on tongues and one on the Holy Spirit. To do this go to the upper right corner to "quick search" and type in "tongues" then repeat the same for "Holy Spirit". There has been so much conversation on both. If you still have any questions please feel free to ask. Blessings, prayon |

1090 | Are the gifts of the spirit for today? | 1 Cor 12:7 | prayon | 8735 | ||
Yes they are all for today. Many people have dimissed the gifts of the spirit, because they have not understood the value and significance of the gifts. Those people deprive themselves and those who they influence of many blessings. 1Cor 12:7-10 lists the nine spiritual gifts, one being tongues. Throughout the history of the Church there is a record of believers who exercised the gift of speaking in tongues, including such men as John Wesley, Charles Finney and D.L. Moody. There is also much documentation of healings today. All of these gifts are the work of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is just as active today as he was at Pentecost. |

1092 | Should we ask God for the gift of tongue | 1 Cor 12:11 | prayon | 111618 | ||
Yes. Mark 16:17 says that "these signs will follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast our devils, and they shall speak with new tongues...." In other words if you believe you can have the gift of tongues. Acts 2 tells us that as soon as the people were filled with the Holy Spirit they began speaking in tongues,not some of the believers but all the believers (v.4). Tongues is for all believers and is a sign of being filled with the Holy Ghost. In all 5 cases of the baptism of the Holy Ghost in Acts ( Acts 2,8,9,10, and 19) every time the initial evidence of being filled with the Spirit was speaking in tongues. Kalos was right when he said that some gifts are given to different people. Tongues to be used in public is not for everyone. That gift is only for a few. prayon |

Hi Searcher, If Mark 16:17-18 were meant only for the 11 it would of stated so. When he was refering to the apostles he always stated "the apostles" or "the twelve". Here it says believers therefore it means all believers. If believers meant apostles it would have to mean apostles in every instance it is mentioned. If it had different meanings in 2 different passages it would violate the principles of bible interpretation. Therefore Acts 4:4 "But many of those who had heard the message became believers, so the number of men who believed grew to about 5,000", would mean that those 5000 became apostles because they all spoke with tongues. This isn't possible because it would violate 1Co 12:29 "Not all believers are apostles, are they?..." Act 2:4 "All the believers were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other languages as the Spirit gave them the ability to speak." This verse is referring to those in the upper room, the 3ooo were from the crowd who heard them speaking. To address your statement of the 120 speaking in known languages - These are languages that the Spirit gave them the ability to speak. If the person already knew the language why did the Holy Spirit have to give them the ability to speak them? The languages they were speaking were unknown to them but others from the crowd recognized them as their own dialects (see vs 7-12.) If they were speaking their own known languages why were they amazed and perplexed? As for the 3000, they were baptized in water as John the baptist had baptized. It does not say anywhere in the passage that they were baptixed with the Holy Spirit as it does in the 5 passages I mentioned. 2:27? Not sure if you got the right scripture here... 4:4 - Here again there is no mention of a baptism of the Holy Ghost. 8:14-17: read on to verses 18-19. Here Simon saw evidence of the Holy Ghost after Peter and John laid hands on them and they received the Holy Spirit (v 17). It is believed that the evidence that Simon saw was them speaking in tongues. 8:34-39 again speaks of a water baptism. It does not mention a baptism of the Holy Spirit. 9:4-19 As you stated he spoke in tongues later Chap 10 and 19 you agree they spoke in tongues. 16:14-15; 31-34: again speaking of a water baptism. Whenever someone was baptized with the Holy Spirit it specifically states that it was the baptism of the Holy spirit. Summary: Four out of 5 cases tongues was the initial evidence. In the 5th case tongues is alluded to. If 100 percent of the cases in Acts the initial evidence of being filled with the Spirit was tongues then tongues must be important. Mark 16:17-18: As you said these signs are to be taken together. I am going to assume that you agree that the name of Jesus has Power in it. When we use His name we use the power associated with it. "These are the miraculous signs that will accompany believers: They will use the power and authority of my name to force demons out of people. They will speak new languages. They will pick up snakes, and if they drink any deadly poison, it will not hurt them. They will place their hands on the sick and cure them." Today we 1) speak new languages. 2) Some have the gift of healing and lay hands on the sick and they do recover. 3) There are devils being cast out of people today. 4) I havn't heard of snakes being picked up but I have heard a lot of other miraculous things that have happened. Jesus said "Mar 16:17 "These are some of the signs that will accompany believers". He didn't say apostles, He said believers. I am a believer. You are a believer. These miraculous signs follow us as well if we choose. This is a promise from Him to us. prayon |

Searcher, I would like to add a couple more of Kenneth Hagin's books. We use a lot of his books in the bible college I go to. Bible Prayer Study Course is very good. If you don't have a lot of time there is a short book callled "Baptism in the Holy Spirit; Living in the Fulfillment of the Promise". This book includes the 10 reasons every believer should speak in tongues. prayon |

Searcher, Act 2:2-4: "Suddenly, a sound like a violently blowing wind came from the sky and filled the whole house where they were staying. Tongues that looked like fire appeared to them. The tongues arranged themselves so that one came to rest on each believer"(not apostle). "And they were all filled of the Holy Spirit, and began to speak in other languages, as the Spirit gave them utterance." Here is a visible sign of the gift they were to receive. They saw cloven tongues, like as of fire (Acts 2:3), and it sat - ekathise, not they sat, those cloven tongues, but he, that is the Spirit (signified thereby), rested upon each of them, as he is said to rest upon the prophets of old (MHCC) If tongues was not the initial sign I am curious what was? What do you think Simon saw that convinced him that the Holy Spirit was given? Acts 9: NO it does not say that he spoke immediately in tongues, however, the majority of the places in the bible state that "the Holy Spirit came to them, and they began to talk in other languages" (Act 19:6) " Act 10:45-47 All the believers who were circumcised and who had come with Peter were amazed that the gift of the Holy Spirit had been poured on people who were not Jewish. They heard these non-Jewish people speaking in other languages and praising God. Then Peter said, "No one can refuse to baptize these people with water. They have received the Holy Spirit in the same way that we did." Act 19:6 When Paul placed his hands on them, the Holy Spirit came to them, and they began to talk in other languages and to speak what God had revealed. In all these instances (Acts 2,10, 19) all state that they were baptized with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in tongues. Therefore it is probable that Paul spoke in tongues when he was baptized with the Holy Spirit or it would be a violation of the Principle of Context in bible interpretation (Knowing Scriptue by R. E. Sproul). Upon baptism the Holy Spirit enters you but you receive a measure of the Holy Spirit in the new birth but you receive the fullness of the Holy Spirit in the baptism of the Holy Spirit. Acts 8 shows us that the 2 baptisms do not happen at the same time in most cases. They are 2 seperate entities. prayon |

Searcher: John 20:22: Albert Barnes Notes on the Bible ". In this case the act of breathing was used to represent the nature of the influence that would come upon them, and the source of that influence" John Gills Expo on the Bible: "but this breathing on them, and the words that attended it, were a symbol, pledge, and confirmation, of what they were to receive on the day of Pentecost". 4:8: Peter had been present in the upper room and received the Holy Spirit there on the day of Pentecost. 4:31 - Gills: and they were all filled with the Holy Ghost; with the gifts of the Holy Ghost, even with extraordinary ones, such as speaking with divers tongues, as before on the day of Pentecost; see Act_2:4 and this was the case not only of the apostles, but of the other ministers of the word, and it may be of the whole church: John Wesley's explanatory notes: Act 4:31 - They were all filled - Afresh; and spake the word with boldness - So their petition was granted. 9:17 - Paul received the Holy Spirit when Ananias laid hands on him. 13:9 - Principle of first context - look at the scriptures before and after. This just states that he was filled not that he had just gotten filled. 13:52 - ? The Holy Spirit was still with them. your question? Eph 5:18 - True communion with God is not induced by drunkeness, but by the Holy Spirit. Paul is teaching that we should always be under the influence of the Holy Spirit by letting the Word control our lives rather than alochol. CONTINUALLY, adv. 1. Without pause or cessation; unceasingly; as, the ocean is continually rolling its waves on the shore. (Webster's Dictionary) The verses you are referring to in Luke were still OT. Receiving the Holy Ghost under the Old Covenant differs from receiving the Holy Ghost under the New Covenant. Acts 2:4 - refer to previous answer prayon |

Searcher, I do believe that when God makes a promise to believers it is for everyone who is a believer. Do you cast out demons in His name? Yes I have. Do I lay hands on the sick and the recover? Yes I have Do I pick up serpents? If by serpents you mean snakes? Yes I have - Ever heard of the Rattlesnakes at Silver Springs in Orlando, FL? I have also walked up and took bones out of guard dogs mouths that the owners say should of killed me. Do I drink deadly poisons? To my knowledge I have not. But I know that I have eaten things that should of made me very sick, it did other people, but it did not bother me. prayon |
||||||
1099 | Prayon, Do you claim the other 4, too? | 1 Cor 12:11 | prayon | 111840 | ||
No it is not, first of all I have not died yet - I still have a life ahead of me. (Henry) Deadly poisons - "If they be compelled by their persecutors to drink any deadly poisonous thing" not that they were hereby warranted to drink poison, to show what power they had; but should they accidentally drink it, or rather should they be forced to it by their enemies in order to destroy them, they should find no hurt by it (Gill) I guess this couldn't apply to even the apostles then because the bible does not give an example of this happening. Also if taking this literally it can violate the Principle of Literature in Bible Interpretation. prayon |

Searcher shall follow 3877 KJV for will accompany From G3844 and G190; to follow near, that is, (figuratively) attend (as a result), trace out, conform to: - attain, follow, fully know, have understanding. Since Jesus tells us tells us in John 16:13 When the Spirit of Truth comes, he will guide you into the full truth. He won't speak on his own. He will speak what he hears and will tell you about things to come. This shows that He (the Spirit) was not here yet so receive has to be in the future tense. That is what I said - being baptized with the Spirit is for Christians only and not the same as being baptized in water. prayon |
