1 | gifts of Spirit in Heaven | 1 Cor 12:1 | DocTrinsograce | 204102 | ||
Hi, Lookin... Too much ground here to cover, involving everything from theology proper, to christology, pneumatology, soteriology, ecclesiology, etc. etc. The confirmation of Jesus as Christ was, indeed, accompanied with great miracles. Furthermore, in the establishment of the church, the Holy Spirit moved in unique and powerful ways through the apostles. Those special acts don't represent normative behaviors for you and me. We don't walk on water to cross a lake, pay taxes by looking for coins in a fishes' mouth, curse unfruitful trees, or cure blindness by putting mud on eyelids. Furthermore, note that the verses you cited are all narrative. Trying to uncover doctrine from narrative leads to all kinds of error. We learn doctrine from didactic passages. Didactic passages are those that teach. They instruct us in orthodoxy (what to believe) and orthopraxy (what to do). The didactic passages that speak to spiritual gifts are Romans 12; 1 Corinthians 12; Ephesians 4; 1 Peter 4. By way of reminder, and to get us back on track: Where in Scripture are we taught that any spiritual gift is "for ministering to those in the world?" In Him, Doc |

Hi Doc: I give up, Your right we are to only minister to the world in our own power. Talk them into salvation, by cunning craftyness. Then not worry if they ever get baptised or not , because the gifts of the Spirit, arent in functin today, they were as we all know dispensational, and the dispensation has been over for some 1900 yrs. Sorry for apperantly waisting everyones time. This is my last post on this subject. GOD BLESS |

Um, Ah, I think you may have missed the point. "And when I came to you, brethren, I did not come with superiority of speech or of wisdom, proclaiming to you the testimony of God. For I determined to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ, and Him crucified. I was with you in weakness and in fear and in much trembling, and my message and my preaching were not in persuasive words of wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, so that your faith would not rest on the wisdom of men, but on the power of God." 1 Cor 2:1-5 |
