1 | Gift of speaking in tongues for all? | Bible general Archive 3 | mitchm0521 | 167935 | ||
If there is no interpreter Paul says that you should keep silent, its necessary to understand that Paul speaks of two different types of Speaking in other Tongues, he talks about the Gift of the Spirit ( 1 Cor 12:10 ) This is a gift, that the Spirit hands out to whom he will during a church service. HOwever in verse 30 Paul shows us that in a church service, not all speak with tongues. However, in 1 Cor 14 Paul says that He thanks God he speaks in tongues more than them all. He goes on to say that 'Yet in the church..... ' So here Paul is showing that there is a differnce between the Gift of Tongues, and speaking in tongues in your own personal prayer time. In Jude it says we are to build ourselves up on our most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost, Paul writes in 1 Cor 14:4 that if he prays in an unknown tongue his Spirit prays. Also in Rom 8:26 Paul says that through praying in the Holy Ghost, or praying in other tongues, however you chose to phrase it, the Spirit helps our infirmites because we know not what we should pray for as we ought. So tongues, in your prayer time, is beneficial to every believer. As I pointed out in Jude, its commanded that we do it. So if there is none to interpret in the Church service, then we are to keep it silent, however as Paul says, in our own prayer time, it is very beneficial. God Bless, Mitch |

Mark let me say you are one of the best to talk to on here. You are one of the only ones who doesn't just try to denounce what I teach as something new and unusual. Thank you for your desire to talk Scripture. BTW did you get my question when I asked if you knew of some good text that would help me with learning the hebrew and greek words better? As to praying in tongues, Paul says starting in 1 Cor 14:14 that if he prays in an unkown tongue his Spirit prays. And he goes on to say that he will pray in the Spirit ( which he just said is praying in other tongues ) and he will pray in his own understanding. He will sing in the Spirit, and he will sin with his own understanding. Thats how I define Scripturally praying in the Spirit, as praying in tongues. God Bless, Mitch |

I guess I'm not sure if you are agreeing with me, or if you are disagreeing with what I said. Do you believe praying in the Spirit, is praying in tongues as well as I do? As for the blueletterbible.org , I recently found that, and it is one of the best bible websites I've ever seen. Thanks! Mitch |

I am the 'one' whom you quoted I believe. And I said exactly what God said as well. And no, it does not say in the text in that verse that we pray through or in the Holy Spirit, however it does say in 1 Cor 14:14, If I pray in an unknown tongue my Spirit prayeth. So right there, Paul shows us, that the Spirit prays for us. And in Romans 8:26 he is showing us how the Spirit helps us. We are to pray in other tongues, do you not think we all should obey that simple commandment? God Bless, Mitch |

If God said something once, its important. I'm not sure what counting the number of times something is said tells us. It certainly doesn't mean praying in tongues is unimportant. Because if thats someones theory, then repentance isn't important, that word is used less than tongues. God Bless, Mitch |

You said if a word or phrase is used seldom, it would certainly be one indication that it was not as important as other concepts. There is four places in the Word where God uses Alpha and Omega to describe himself. So is that not important? My point here is, I don't care if something is used only one. If God wrote it, its just as important as if he had wrote it a thousand times. To say anything is less important than another thing in the Word, is absurd. Every single letter of the Word of God is important, its a law brother, a law that we should all be living by. God Bless, Mitch |

7 | church history after N.T. church | NT general Archive 1 | mitchm0521 | 167997 | ||
I'm not sure what you are asking. The 'church' is the body of Christ. And it does, and should operate exactly as you see the members of the church operating in the book of Acts. Are you asking about buildings and places of worship? Or of certain groups of followers? I'm not sure if you mean the body of Christ, or if you mean places where the body meets on this earth. Clear that up for me and I should be able to help you more. God Bless, Mitch |

10 | should christrians vist the sick | Matt 25:36 | mitchm0521 | 167936 | ||
The shortest way to answer your question is YES, we definitly should visit the sick, in Mat 25:36-40 Jesus clearly tells us that that is part of our work as a Christian. He goes so much as to say that those who don't, will be put into everlasting fire. So Yes, definitly, we should visit the sick. And remmber what Jesus said in Mark's gospel, that those who believe on Him would lay hands on the sick, and the sick would recover, so obviuosly, we have to visit the sick, if we are to see them healed! God Bless, Mitch |

11 | What is to ask and receive the Holy Spir | Luke 11:13 | mitchm0521 | 167670 | ||
When a person confesses that Jesus Christ as their Lord, they recieve the Spirit of Truth within themselves. However, there is a secondary baptism ( which means immersion ) in the Holy Ghost which comes after you believed upon the name of JEsus (Acts 2:1-4 ) When you recieve something from God, you recieve it, however we know that man can backslide, and fall away from God.. so I would assume if you get into that condition, then the HOly Ghost will not be dwelling within you. But as for a Christian, they don't have to ask everyday to be filled. It is never bad to ask for more of God in your life, but once you recieve the Holy Ghost, as they did in Acts 2:4, they had the Holy Ghost, And what do you mean by different dosages? God Bless, Mitch |

12 | What is to ask and receive the Holy Spir | Luke 11:13 | mitchm0521 | 167783 | ||
If there is not a secondary immersion into the HOly Ghost, that follows one being born again, how do you explain away Acts 2:4. What was that all about? |
||||||
13 | What is to ask and receive the Holy Spir | Luke 11:13 | mitchm0521 | 167801 | ||
Yes, it says they were filled with the Holy Ghost. And Jesus in Acts 1:5 said that they would 'be baptized in the Holy Ghost, not many days hence' So yes, they were filled and they were baptized into the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues. The Lord said they would be baptized, and they were. God Bless, Mitch |

14 | What is to ask and receive the Holy Spir | Luke 11:13 | mitchm0521 | 167846 | ||
I just gave you the reference brother. Jesus said they would be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence. Hey said they would be immersed with the Holy Ghost, this was after they were already believers. So it has to be secondary. Unless they needed to be 'saved' from their sins twice. Which we know is not right. | ||||||
15 | What is to ask and receive the Holy Spir | Luke 11:13 | mitchm0521 | 167850 | ||
If you think speaking in other tongues, and the baptism in the Holy Ghost is a 20th century thing, then why did Jesus tell them that they couldn't even leave Jerusalem and be a witness for him untill they recieved the baptism with the Holy Ghost? ( Luke 24:49 ) And notice these men are already born again, ( John 20:22 ) The reference I just gave in John shows us that these men recieved the HOly Ghost, at least a measure of it didn't they? Yet Jesus told them to wait in Jerusalem untill they were endued, untill they were immersed with the Holy Ghost. This is one easy place to see there is a secondary immersion into the Holy Ghost. Also you think its a modern teaching, what do you think happened in Acts chapter 19 when Paul shows up at Ephesus, and speaking to born again believers says " Have you recieved the Holy Ghost since you believed" ( Acts 19:2 ) There are two places, which show born again men and or women of God who recieve something after the new birth, which is the infilling of the Holy Ghost. How about Acts chapter 10, Peter is preaching and in verse 44 through the end of the chapter we see that the Holy Ghost fell on all those that heard the Word, and they began to speak in other tongues and magnify God. How about we go back to the day of Pentecost, Peter says in Acts Chapter 2 verse 39, speaking about the promise of this baptism, he says "The promise is unto you and your children, and as many are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call. " This particular verse proves that it was not just for them, but is for all believers. Jesus said in Mark 16:17 that those that believe on him, ... shall speak with new tongues. Isiah 28:11 says that with stammering lips and another tongue will he speak to this people. In 1 Cor 14:18 Paul says ' I thank my God I speak with tongues more than you all' And notice who he wrote to here, the church at Corinth, he had to write to them, to show them the proper way to speak in tongues, to do it in order, and to use it in their own prayer time. They were crazy about speaking in tongues, they wanted to do it constantly, everyone in the church wanted to stand up and give a tongue. Yet Paul says that he speaks in tongues more than the whole bunch of them. So no, unless the entire Bible was written in the 20th century, what I am saying is not new material. Just because someone doesn't believe something, doesn't make it new. Might make it new to them, but not new. Now as for what you said about the book of Acts, what does the context of the entire book deal with. Simply it deals with the 'Acts of the Apostles' or rather the Acts of the early church, because the first time we see Paul, he isn't an apostle. ( Acts 13:1 ) Paul was either a prophet , teacher, or both. So what Acts is showing us, is exactly the way the early church operated, and it is how we should operate today. From being immersed with the Holy Ghost, speaking with other tongues, to raising up the lame man as Peter did at the gate called beautiful ( Acts 3:6 ) To preaching the entire Word with boldness. Everything they did, is what we should be set on doing. My conclusion does stand given the entirety of the Bible. So in other words, the book of Acts, is the Acts of the early church, it is how we should be operating today. So since what I've said is scripture, its really hard to call it a 20th centrury invention. Hope this helped, Mitch |

There is one Truth brother, I'll never agree to disagree. If you wish to no longer talk about it, thats your choice. If you wish to not answer Scripture with scripture, you have the right to do so, and I will respect that. I'll not force you to discuss any part of the Word you wish to not discuss. God Bless, Mitch |

Please refer back to my previous post, I believe it was 167850, and you will see plenty of Scripture which shows you that the Baptism in the HOly Ghost, and being filled with the Holy Ghost, with speaking in other tongues, is not a new thing as some call it. Might be new to some people, but its definitly not new to the Church. Its exactly how they started off on the day of Pentecost. God Bless, Mitch |

18 | equal with God by nature | John 5:18 | mitchm0521 | 167933 | ||
What is being said in this verse, is that Jesus is saying he is equal with God. In John 10:30 Jesus said that He and His father are one. Philipians 2:6 says the same thing. God Bless, Mitch |

19 | What is preaching Christ? | John 7:17 | mitchm0521 | 167400 | ||
YOu said preaching healings miracles etc is not preaching Christ. What do you say is preaching Christ then? And no Hagin is not the 'granddaddy' of the faith movement. Jesus Christ is. He is the one who said if you say unto this mountain be thou removed and be thou cast into the sea and shall not doubt in your heart but believe those things you say shall come to pass you shall have whatsoever you say. ( Mark 11:23 ) Jesus is the one who said that whatever we give up for his sake and for hte gospels sake in this life, we shall receive a hundredfold return in this present life ( Yes that does mean 100 return on money invested as well as everything else you sacrifice for his sake and for the gospels sake because ) and we do recieve the 100 fold return in this present life and life everlasting in the one to come ( Mar 10:29 - 30 ) So please tell me, what do you consider is preaching Christ? God Bless, Mitch |

20 | Truth | John 7:17 | mitchm0521 | 167401 | ||
You make a wonderful point, when someone doesn't take the time to actually read or listen to what another man has said in his own words, its best not to talk at all. And I think cartoons are already out there somewhere, there is some website called bible.ca or something, which has a bunch of videos a person can watch that are doctored up to make many preachings such as Hagin look foolish. Its interesting though, how they claim they are doing a Christian work, yet they are illegaly copying and distrubiting material that is not only doctored up ( you can see on some of the videos how the men are wearing one suit one instance, and another suit the next, which shows a competent man its faked ) but its also most likely illegal to distribute those without permission from the publishers. Anyways, people should either talk about the Word, or just keep quiet. ITs about time Christians got off their high horse and thought they were allowed to judge every man in this life and never worry about love and compasssion. |
