The definite answer to this question is found in Acts 2:38-39. 38) "Peter said to them, "Repent, and each of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins; and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. 39)For the promise is for you and to your children and for all who are far off, as many as the Lord our God will call to Himself." As you may know the Bible tells of the sign of having the holy spirit is speaking in other and unknown tongues. It also says that tongues are not a sign to the believer but a sign to the unbeliever. Take a look at the promise in verse 39. Peter says this promise, of the Holy Ghost, was promised to them and their children and ALL THAT ARE AFAR OFF, EVEN AS MANY AS THE LORD OUR GOD WILL CALL TO HIMSELF. Ask yourself this question, "Who determines when "afar off ended?", and, "How many people will the Lord call to Himself?" If the Holy Spirit is not available to people anymore and if there are no more unbelievers in the world then God has called all the people he is going to call and the need for speaking in tongues is no longer needed except for personal edification. Acts 1:8 states, "You shall receive power after you receive the Holy Spirit." Upon establishing this fact I want to now clarify your thought of the "age of miracles" being ended. In John 14:12 Jesus states, "Truly, truly, I say unto you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do, he will do also; AND GREATER WORKS THAN THESE HE WILL DO BECAUSE I GO UNTO THE FATHER." Jesus spoke to no man or generation specifically. He was just making a factual statement that applied to ALL WHO BELIEVE. What this means is that if we,all who believe, can do the same things and even greater things than Jesus did then miracles are still in play. Not only have I seen them but, because I also believe, they have occured personally in my life. Oh yes, I have also done some with others myself. The Bible is true. |

I just noticed it's been more than two weeks since my last post/request to you. Do you not plan to respond? But I also just noticed you haven't posted to anyone else Jul 11th; I do hope you haven't given up on this Forum. It really is a good thing to share with Bible students. I sincerely do want to hear about your triumphs and victories. Please share with us. God bless. Rowdy |
