1 | What is the context? | Acts | Ken hepting | 92248 | ||
"You said, "The word says let everything be confirmed by two or three witnesses" ... what is the passage ... any of the above? What is the context of the passage ... is it about discipline? What is the context of "He won't give you a stone if asking for a loaf"? --------------------------- Matt 18.16 But if he will not listen, take one or two others along, so that 'every matter may be established by the testimony of two or three witnesses.' Matt 7.9 Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone? --------------------------------- I'd line to know where you see "private prayer time" and speaking in tongues? ------------------------------------- Do you pray? Is it private or always in public? As to tongues, that's between you and the Lord and how critical it all seems to you. But Pauls says this: 1 Corth 12.31 But eagerly desire the greater gifts. And now I will show you the most excellent way. 13:1 If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. Now don't tell me at this point that tongues isn't a greater gift since it is a language of/by the Holy Spirit. That tongues and intimacy are intrinsically linked is a given to those who practice their gift in earnest and love. 1 Corth.13. comes alive to those who do so beyond just speaking. |

Scripture ... Matt 7:7-12, 18:15-20; 1 Cor 12:27-13:3 ... The context of Matthew 18:16 is verses 15-20, which deals with discipline. Matthew 7:7-12 (vs 9) is not about spiritual gifts. Which gift is greater (1 Cor 12:27-13:3)? Why is it listed next to last? What tongue did the angels speak to men ... something they understood? |

3 | What is the context? | Acts | Ken hepting | 92265 | ||
Scripture ... Matt 7:7-12, 18:15-20; 1 Cor 12:27-13:3 ... The context of Matthew 18:16 is verses 15-20, which deals with discipline. Matthew 7:7-12 (vs 9) is not about spiritual gifts. Who said it was? YOU ASKED FOR MY REFERENCE FOR THIS: "What is the context of "He won't give you a stone if asking for a loaf"? Matthew 7.9 is my reference. ARE WE CLEAR ON THIS? ------------------------------------- "Which gift is greater (1 Cor 12:27-13:3)? Why is it listed next to last? What tongue did the angels speak to men ... something they understood" I believe you like to twist words, Searcher and I'm beginning to lose my respect for you. I'm repeating myself but maybe it is that you just can't read too well. Paul said this: I Corth.13:1 "Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels,................". Now lets be CLEAR. These are what languages Paul said HE spoke, not what was spoken TO HIM. So your "wanting to know"? if angel language can be understood by man is frivolous and insulting. As to what gifts are the greatest and why is tongues mentioned last, I ask, do you speak in tongues? Do you have any of the gifts mentioned in 1 Corthinians 12? If not, and I suppose you don't, then why assume tongues is the lesser of any of the gifts, but that's how I suppose you WANT to believe or are told to believe. Do you know Bob Jones? |

Scripture ... 1 CorĀ 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" Verses 29-30 follow the same order ... and adds "All do not interpret" Verses 8-10 lists togues next to last ... then verse 11 says "But one and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing to each one individually just as He wills." ... which to me means He decides who gets which gifts. Therefore tongues is a lesser gift ... look at the order and the words FIRST ... THEN. 1 Cor 13:1 says "tongues of men and of angels" not "tongues of men OR angels". -The angel spoke to Moses on Mount Sinai (Act 7:38). -The Law was put into effect by angels (Act 7:53). -The tongues of angels is special because of what it delivers! God showed Himself through angels (Gal 3:19, Heb 2:2-3). When angels spoke, the hearer understood. I have the gifts of teaching and discernment. ---- Is is you who are twisting words. - Matthew 7.9 may be your reference ... but, you need to look at the context ... else it is pretext. Do you think the context of Matthew 18:16 is verses 15-20, which is discipline? I have heard of serveral Bob Jones. I take what I read and heard and match it against the Bible. I even throw away all I know and study Scripture myself ... w/o man's help. Searcher |

"I have the gifts of teaching and discernment". Never heard of the gift of teaching. Everyone in Christ should be apt to teach but it does sound like you have the gift of conceit, and boasting. Maybe you should re-consider what Paul is defining as gifts and adminstrations. Most everything he states is of a supernatural experience requiring you get out of the way. |

Never heard of the gift of teaching? ... see Eph 4:11 | ||||||
7 | What is the context? | Acts | Ken hepting | 92323 | ||
Eph 4:11 And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; These are not gifts. They are Ministries. They are learned. There are schools of learning for such OFFICES. |

8 | Prophet - is it learned or a gift? | Acts | Searcher56 | 92362 | ||
Compare the lists (Eph 4:11...1 Cor 12) is both places ... for example, is a prophet something that is learned or is it a gift? | ||||||
9 | Prophet - is it learned or a gift? | Acts | Ken hepting | 92370 | ||
"Compare the lists (Eph 4:11...1 Cor 12) is both places ... for example, is a prophet something that is learned or is it a gift?" Well, in the OT they had a school for prophets. I guess one went to Prophet College or something. Obviously it had to do with discerning the times and making predictions based on the history of God doing the things He did and then drawing concusions from those experiences. One who prophecies isn't necessarilly a prophet by "trade" in the Bible. God spoke through Balaams donkey, remember. So if one is yielded to the Holy Spirit at the appointed time he/she will be used by God to bring forth a prophecy. I can't be more specific than that in a hypothetical way here. I just know it happens. It has happened to me. |
