21 | does God intend for us to pay tithes | Malachi | miller521 | 194718 | ||
Hi John, I haven't answered CDBJ because if you notice what I responded to him, I do not know what he is asking. I want to know what scripture he is wanting to know about the definition of grace in. And yes, repeaing and sowing is for the here and now. Just look at the scriptures I posted, I do not see any reason to think something which Christ said is not for us today, or what Paul said for that matter. So yes, its for the here and now. As for people being persecuted, that happens, Christ said it would happen, so I believe it will happen. Just like he said when you sow you will reap a harvest, I believe that too! God Bless. |

22 | does God intend for us to pay tithes | Malachi | miller521 | 194731 | ||
Just as the verse in Tim says, he gave himself a ransom for all. |

Very good point Cheri, that could possibly be a very valid reason why they felt led to sell their possesions. I | ||||||
24 | Is demonic possession relevant today? | Acts 19:13 | miller521 | 193837 | ||
I'd also walk outside your home on Halloween and see all the people dressed up, and wonder why so many in this 'Christian' nation are influenced by demons to the point they dress up like them. Demonic posession doesn't have to be Hollywood type stuff. | ||||||
25 | How is Holy Spirit imbued? | Rom 8:9 | miller521 | 193836 | ||
Luke 11:13 shows us through the words of Jesus that if you ask the father for the Holy Spirit, he will give it to you. I must point out that Paul was saved on the road to Damascus, he was saved, BEFORE he recieved the total immersion into the Holy Ghost. So to say that you can't be saved without having recived the Baptism in the Holy Ghost according to Acts chapter 2, thats wrong. We do see through the book of Acts the laying on of hands as a way to infill a believer, but just like the healing of the body, God works in many ways. The 120 in the upper room in Acts chapter 2 were born again, and when they recived the Baptism into the Holy Ghost, they did not have hands laid on them. So I do not see scripture that shows us that it can only be done by laying on of hands. |

26 | Why are we accused of blaming God? | Rom 9:21 | miller521 | 194022 | ||
Deu 30:19 I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, [that] I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live: If God was in full control, why did he give them a choice? I beleive the problem arises when we attribute eveything in our life to God, well I got cancer, tmust be God... ( However people want to stand against him and take medicine for the cancer, foolish if you beleive God wants you to be sick ) Well my car broke down, must be God teaching me something... People want to deny that there is a devil in this earth, and that he is the one who steals kills and destroys ( John 10:10) However, give God the glory when you were attacked with Cancer and he healed your body, thats when he will get the glory. |

27 | Why are we accused of blaming God? | Rom 9:21 | miller521 | 194033 | ||
Well, what I am asking, is if he gave them a choice, how could he have been in full control of what they choose? If I give you a choice on two things, I'm not in full control of what you pick am I? Its still up to you, correct? I am not saying God will only be glorified when you are healed, God gets glory when we stand on his Word, and if you are standing on the promise in 2 Peter 2:24 that you were healed by the stripes of Jesus, then God can be glorified. I'm simply saying, we need to put the blame where its due, and not jump to the conclusion that God is being evil in our lives. |

28 | Why are we accused of blaming God? | Rom 9:21 | miller521 | 194034 | ||
Acts 10:42 And he commanded us to preach unto the people, and to testify that it is he which was ordained of God [to be] the Judge of quick and dead. 2 Ti 4:1 I charge [thee] therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom; Jesus Christ has been made the Judge, not the Father. So if someone is being 'judged' and deemed that they need cancer, its Jesus putting that on them in that theory. However that is a theory, because it says there the judgement will be at His appearing. |

I understand where you are coming from. However, let me ask you this, you say they are 'profesing' Christians. IF they didn't profess to be a Christian and were unsaved, would you attend the wedding? I think its important to understand that just because someone says they are a Christian, that they are, and its also important to realize that at times, Christians don't have the full knowledge of God's Word. The best thing I believe we can do for them is to show them unconditional love. And is not going to the wedding what Christ would do? Or would he sit down with sinners so that they see what real character is all about? But ultimately, you have to let the Word and the Holy Ghost speak to your heart, and tell you how to act in this manner. |

I am sorry, I mistyped. I did mean to see that just because they say they are a Christian doesn't mean that they are a Christian. And if you would not attend the wedding of unsaved family members, then I assume your heart is telling you not to go to this one. You just have to seek God in prayer and do what he leads you to do. |

Good question, I'll do my best! First off at the end of Luke's gospel we have Jesus telling his disciples what today most of us call the 'Great Commission' its the go into all the world and preach the Gospel, see Luke 24:47. However, if you keep reading Jesus tells them that they indeed are his witness, but before they can go and witness to anyone, they need to wait in Jerusalem for the promise of the Holy Ghost. In the book of Acts chapter 1 Jesus is telling them again, that they will recive power when the Holy Ghost has come upon them. He is telling these born again followers that even though they are called to be his witness, they aren't allowed to do so untill they have been endued with power from on high. In Acts 2:4 we see the Holy Ghost comes into this planet, and he sat upon each of the 120 that were in that upper room that day and it says 'They were all filled with the Holy Ghost and spoke with other tongues as the Spirit gave them the utterance' This was their total immersion into the Holy Ghost. Peter taught who could have this total immersion he said that the promise is for everyone ( Acts 2:38-39) Peter tells them that if they repent and turn from their sins, that they too can recieve the gift of the Holy Ghost, and he says that this promise is not just for them, but for anyone who will come to God. In the Scriptures I referenced in my earlier post I used 1 Cor 12, there we can keep reading and see that Paul said when we were born again the Spirit baptized us into the Body of Christ, everyone who is born again has been baptized into the Body of Christ by the Spirit of God, and has partaken, or as he said been made to drink, into one Spirit. This of course he speaks about when we are born again. This is what those in the upper room had, yet even thought the Spirit had baptized them into the body of Jesus, they had not yet been baptized into the Spirit of God, ie. baptize meaning 'immersion' So to answer your question, immersion is to be totally covered, its where he is not only with you, but also in you ( John 14:17) And those who have it, are those who have asked for it (Luke 11:13) And it does appear that being filled with the Holy Ghost does bring a life change in the persons life with the gift of speaking in other tongues, which is for another discussion I assume, but as Paul pointed out he uses it in his prayer time, as do I. |

Acts 2:38 and 39 give us Peter telling them that if they were to repent, they can recieve the gift of the Holy Ghost, they can recieve the same thing that these men who they called 'drunk' have, which they called them drunk because they were boldy out in the street, speaking in other tongues. Peter is adressing to them that they too can have this same thing in their lives. He even tells what the prophet had said about it. His context shows us he is talking about what happend to the 120 from Acts 2:4. Its like this, I can have water inside me, and it can be working in me to do what the natural body needs to live, but I could still dehydrate because I don't have enough. I'm saying that according to the book of Acts, these men got more than just a measure of the Spirit inside of them that we all get at the new birth. They allowed themselves to be totally immersed into the Spirit. I'm not denying that every born again believer has the Holy Spirit in them, I am just saying they don't have at the new birth all that God wants for them to have. He wants to totally immerse you into that anointing, into that Spirit so that you can have power to live a successful life. |

I am saying that you have the Holy Spirit in your life when you are born again. It is actually the Holy Spirit which baptizes us into the body of Christ. However, you are not totally immersed into the Holy Ghost. The 120 in that upper room knew Jesus Christ as their Lord and savior, yet in Acts 2:4 we see that they were all filled with the Holy Ghost. This is to be something that happens throughout the life of the beleiver. When Paul wrote, be not drunk with wine wherein is excess but be filled with the Spirit speaking to yourselves in spiritual songs singing and making meolody in your heart to the Lord, when we read this the be filled with the spirit as it reads in the King James is taken from the Greek perfect present tense, its a continuous present, just like salvation, in other words it would be 'be being filled with the Spirit' We see this in Acts 4:31, they had already been totally immersed into the Holy Ghost, yet it happens again. This is because it is something that can keep happening to the beleiver. why it has to happen more than once, I'm not sure, God knows. But from Scripture we can see that it does happen. |

Yes he is saying we shall, because they asked him, what can we do to have this, and he told them what to do, and said do that and you shall. All of God's promises are yes and amen we know that. He said they shall, because they were seeking it. And Peter knew that all you had to do was ask for it and you'd get it. Look at Acts 4:31, here we have believers who were filled with the Holy Ghost according to Acts 2:4, yet the bible says here they were filled, this shows they did not have all they needed at the new birth. |

When I say that the immersion will help us to live a successful life I am talking about Acts 1 when Jesus said that we would recieve power when the Holy Ghost had come upon us. I am saying that power of God, will lead to success in your life. Living in God's will is always going to bring success. |

Acts is the basis for this discussion. I am drawing a distinction from being baptized BY the Holy Spirit, which is what has happed at the new birth, to being baptized INTO the Spirit. Everyone who is born again has the Spirit, that doesn't mean they are immersed into it. Read Acts 4:31, if they had all they needed at the new birth, whats going on here? |
