1 | Where in Acts does it say that? | Acts 1:1 | Morant61 | 167967 | ||
Greetings Mitch! I will have to be brief. I need to run to the hospital and visit someone. 1) Allow me to use a different example. Suppose I were to say, "I like praise choruses, but in church I would rather sing hymns." I am not necessarily saying that I sing praise choruses outside of church. I could be saying that, but I also could simply be saying that of the two choices I would rather sing hymns. Thus, it would be going too far to say that Paul is contrasting 'in church' and 'out of church' in this verse. 2) This would be a good arguement except for the fact that 1 Cor. 14:15 does not use the phrase 'Holy Spirit'. The verse specifically says 'my spirit'. So, it would be a stretch to say that 1 Cor. 14:15 and Jude 20 refer to the same thing. 3) There are some who believe that Acts 2 describes both a miracle of speaking (tongues) and of hearing so that each one heard the tongues in his own language no matter what the speaker was actually saying. Given that the text specifically says that each heard his own language, I would have a hard time disagreeing with them. :) Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

2 | Where in Acts does it say that? | Acts 1:1 | mitchm0521 | 167969 | ||
The Amplified says for verse 14 For if I pray in an [unknown] tongue, my spirit [by the Holy Spirit within me ] prays, but my mind is unproductive [it bears no fruit and helps nobody] So here, it is saying, the Holy Spirit, is what he is praying with the Holy Spirit. God Bless, Mitch |

Greetings Mitch! Once again my friend, the text never says anything about the 'Holy Spirit'. The words included in the brackets in the Amplified version are interpretative. They aren't in the text itself. So, one cannot say with certainty that this is a reference to the Holy Spirit. In fact, the use of the pronoun 'my' would strongly indicate that it is not the Holy Spirit. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

Well first off, If you don't believe the amplified bible, I'll stick with the KJV. Secondly, you said the word my would strongly suggest that it is not the Holy Spirit, so let me ask you about Phil 4:19 says 'My God shall supply all your need according to his riches in Glory.' Since this passages uses the pronoun 'my' should we also say that the God refered to here then is not the God of Heaven? Is it some other God? Mitch |

5 | Where in Acts does it say that? | Acts 1:1 | Morant61 | 168144 | ||
Greetings Mitch! Man has a heart, so the natural understanding of the phrase 'my heart' would be that it refers to a man's heart. Man has a mind, so the natural understanding of the phrase 'my mind' would be that it refers to a man's mind. Man has a leg, so the natural understanding of the phrase 'my leg' would be that it refers to a man's leg. Man has a spirit, so the natural understanding of the phrase 'my spirit' would be that it refers to a man's spirit. Man does not have a ' God' in the same sense that he has a leg. Correct? References to the Holy Spirit are always made as either 'the spirit' or 'the holy spirit', not 'my spirit' (unless of course God Himself is speaking). Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
