1 | Are terms being used synonymously? | 1 Cor 12:1 | Hiskid84 | 211111 | ||
I'm going to tiptoe in behind John here, to ask a question. Are the words "gift of healing" and "healing" being used synonymously in some posts? It seems a lot of discussion in favor of the gift of healing (regarding its validity today) is being based upon whether people are healed today. I thought John distinguished between the two when he wrote, "...no one has said that God cannot or does not perform miracles. But He does not give the gift of performing those miracles to individuals today as He did in the early Church." (Unfortunately, it seemed to get lost in the text that followed) So the question of whether the gift of healing is still bestowed upon those the Holy Spirit so chooses is not answered through proof that God still heals today. Which isn't to say proof should exist that God still heals "through certain idividuals" (the "gift" of healing) to prove its validity today. :) By His grace, hiskid |

2 | Fruit vs. Works: the same or different? | Gal 5:22 | Hiskid84 | 129749 | ||
Fruit vs Works: are they the same thing? Jesus said, in regards to bearing fruit, we can do nothing outside of Him (John 15:5). He says we must abide in Him. In verse 9, He says if we abide in His love we will keep His commandments. While doing a study today of John 15:5 and surrounding text, I realized I was trying to equate fruit with works. Is this an incorrect assumption? Are they two separate things? I'd greatly appreciate any Scripture showing that they are either equal or two separate things. In Christ, Karen |
