| 1 | Evidenc of Signs in 2008 Valid? | Mark 16:17 | Tamara Brewington | 205649 | ||
| Dear Forum members, I already know what I think of the Pentecostal belief that speaking in tongues is evidence of the Holy Spirit having entered one and I know all the scriptures to refute that understanding of scriptures. I wonder though how should we understand Mathew verse 17 and 18 - are these signs just to be applied to the first century - the tongues, the casting out of demons, the not being affected by poisons or deadly snakes? Or do you think it is possible that these things could still apply now? Please don't answer with stuff about snake handlers or refutations of crackpot practices in phony bony churches - I am well aware of what types of charlatans are out there, I am well grounded and not in any danger of falling prey to false doctrine. Please try to craft your answer around some scriptures if you can.. God's Day To You, Tamara |

| Greetings Tam! Well, here is my two cents worth! :-) First of all, I am careful not to build doctrine around any disputed text. As I am sure you are aware, the ending of Mark is very much in dispute. No one is certain how the Gospel of Mark ends. Therefore, I would be careful not to base my actions or beliefs upon just this passage. However, most of the things mentioned in the latter part of Mark are mentioned in other contexts. Certainly, the sign gifts are supported elsewhere. The picking up of a snake (accidentally) and surviving the bite was recorded of Paul. I don't know of any other support for the drinking of poison, unless one appeals to the OT. I would say that miraculous signs should be a part of the Christian experience, simply because God is involved in our lives. I would not limit the evidences of His presence to just this one short list though. :-) Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
