1 | Is speaking in tongues for today? | Bible general Archive 1 | docjoc | 4898 | ||
The short answer is yes. The longer answer is that despite what my church taught and what I firmly believed for most of my Christian life, I can now find no strong bibical evidence that this or any other gift or fruit of the Holy Spirit has "passed away". | ||||||
2 | Baptism of the Holy Spirit after reborn? | 1 Cor 12:13 | docjoc | 4508 | ||
You question is a good one, because for most of the church we are like those guys in Acts 19 who said, "we didn't even know that there was a Holy Spirit". Many churches I have attended either completely ignore the Holy Spirit or rarely give a short doctrinal explanation of the Holy Spirit. I can only assume that they avoid the Holy Spirit so that they can avoid unconfortable subject that may somehow bring up the subject of tongues and related works of the Holy Spirit that they don't want to deal with. I am reminded of the scripture that says in the last days men will hold a form of religion, but deny the power of it. The Holy Spirit is about giving power to the believer to live the life and to do the works that Jesus called us to do. To paraphase the old add, the Holy Spirit puts "a tiger in your tank." |
