Martha, They are numbering my responses, because they have taken it upon themselves to attack me. I have received a lot of e-mails thinking it was an answer to a post or a comment and it was only a number. They have tried, judged and convivted me of being rude and arrogant...I guess because I do not agree with their outlook on Christians and war. Pay it no never mind...that is not why we are here. We are here to discuss the word of God...Please pick a topic. coop1 |

I picked a topic and I asked everyone what Tongues was, Corinthians doesn't really explain it and someone in a post said that if you did not know how to speak in tongues, you did not have the holy spirit. What do you think of that? By the way what do you think of tithing? Don't respond to anyone else who talks about war, including myself. End it. |

Well first, speaking in tongues is the one area that I am unsure of. Some say that it is a gift given to only some...others say that it is a sure sign of the baptism of the Holy Spirit. And there are verses in the Bible that would support both these veiws. I can only tell you what the spirit has spoken to my heart. And that is...in Acts chapter 8:12-17... When Phillip was preaching the things concerning the kingdom of God, and the name of Jesus Christ, they were all baptized. (This to me says that they heard the Word with their hearts and became baptized in the living water). Now then, the apostles heard that Samria had received the Word of God, they sent Peter and John: who when they went down, prayed for them that they may receive the Holy Ghost: (for it had not yet fallen on them: only they were baptized in the name of Jesus)...so this indicates that they had heard the Word and believed, but had not yet received the Holy Ghost. Then the apostles laid hands on them, (and prayed), and they received the Holy Ghost. So this indicates to me that we have a two part process here...the receiving or believeing of the Word of God, and the baptism or filling of the Holy Ghost. Now, Jesus had said in Acts 11:16, John indeed baptised with water; but you shall be baptised with the Holy Ghost. In Acts 10:43-46, while Peter spoke the words concerning the remission of sins, the Holy Ghost fell on the gentiles, and they began to speak with tongues and magnify God. In 1 Corinthians 14, It clearly states that those who speak in an unknown tongue, speaks not to men, but to God...and then goes on to explain that this is done for the edifying of oneself, and that he'd rather us all speak with tongues, but that prophecy is greater because it edifies the whole body of Christ. Now, I believe that becoming born again is a two part process. That we hear the word first, when we believe on it...we become baptised in it or in another words...in the living water. But then, there is a time, for us to grow maybe, or to show our willingness to obey the word of God...and then the Holy Spirit comes upon us and that is when we receive the power of the spirit to do the works of God. And I think that tongues is a probable manifestation of this second baptism...but not necessarily always present. Tithing...that's easy...God gets first fruits of everything, including our financial assets. I believe that 10 percent is exceptable but there is no limit. And war? well I appreciate your advice, but I will not let it go. It is to important at this time. We must find the truth according to God's will and teach it. People's, including Christian's immortal souls may count on it. We have to know how to respond to something that will soon take center stage and even has begun to already. It is too important to drop because a few want to act childish. Let me know what you think of those verses, I will be interested to hear your answer. coop1 |

I cannot contest anything else. I do not believe in tongues and my points of views about baptizism and and the holy ghost are different. Peace to you, |

And we are his witness of these things; and so is also the Holy Ghost, whom God hath given to them that obey Him. When they heard that, they were cut to the heart, and took counel to slay him. Acts 5:32,33 |
