121 | What's Jesus' position? | 1 Cor 15:27 | retxar | 56253 | ||
I equates very, very well and is beautifully revealed in the WORD! Jesus is equal to the Father is position (Psa 45:6; Isa 7:14; Isa 9:6; Isa 40:9; Isa 40:10; Mat 1:23; Joh 1:1; Joh 5:18; Joh 5:23; Joh 8:24; Joh 8:28; Joh 8:58; Joh 10:30; Joh 10:33; Joh 20:28; Act 20:28; Rom 9:5; Phi 2:6; 1Ti 3:16; Tit 2:13; Tit 3:4; Heb 1:8-13; 2Pe 1:1), who relinquished His rights as God (Phi 2:6), and was in total submission to the Father as a man (Phi 2:6), and lived a sinless, spotless life as a man (1Pe 2:22), to become the sacrificial Lamb without blemish and without spot (1Pe 1:19), in order to satisfy the high price that my sin, your sin, and the whole world’s sin required as payment for our unrighteousness (1Jo 2:2). “Therefore, I said to you that you will die in your sins. For if you do not believe that I AM, you will die in your sins.” (Jesus 2000 years ago). At the name of Jesus every knee will bow and every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord (some time in the near future, tick-toc). Jesus is Lord! |

122 | 2 witness resurrection and pre-wrath | Matthew | retxar | 56192 | ||
Thanks Kalos! This clears up a lot for me! SEALS NOT TRUMPETS! Thanks! Sorry for the blunder! Rev 8:1-2 "When the Lamb broke the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for about half an hour. And I saw the seven angels who stand before God, and seven trumpets were given to them". The seven angles only recieved their trumpets after the seventh seal was opened. You also made me think about the ACCOUNT of the two witnesses being recorded between the sixth and seventh trumpet, not neccesarly when it will actually take place (tho not ruled out by me). Iron sharpen iron! retxar |

123 | Are Christmas and Easter pagan? | Gal 4:10 | retxar | 56102 | ||
If I had a problem with Dec. 25, I would pick one of the other 364 days God gave us to choose from. However, if I wanted to find a day that the devil didn't already have something going on, I'm afraid I would be out of luck! retxar |

124 | Is tongues a matter of fact? | 1 Cor 14:5 | retxar | 56010 | ||
Greetings Aspilos, Not that your "question" really needs an answer (2Ti 2:23), but I guess everyone knows what is real is real and what is pretend is pretend. Please consider what I have already spoken to you concerning 1Co 14:21-22. If the "sign" Paul was speaking of serves as a "witness" to unbelievers, as you are saying, would he not be encouraging the church to speak in tongues to them, instead of warning of the hazards of doing so? READ VERSE 24. If you have the right interpretation, should Paul not have said that unbelievers are convinced by tongues instead of prophesy? How in the world is prophesy going to work on unbelievers if that is not the “sign” they need to believe? I believe I have stated my position well and don't really need to continue repeating myself. I’ll give you the last word here my friend, but unless you come up with something new to discuss concerning tongues, my tongue is about all talked out! "With other tongues and other lips I will speak to this people; And yet, for all that, they will not hear Me," says the Lord. retxar |

If you are to make such a broad accusation, you need to also point a finger! Otherwise, it sounds like you are accusing all Pentecostal churches of teaching that speaking with tongues is a prerequisite to salvation. Please name the "mainline" Pentecostal churches you are referring to, as I am a loss of who you may be talking about. In response to my previous interpretation of 1Co 14:21-22, you said, "I could not agree with you more on every thing that you have just said.” I said that scoff and ridicule of the Spiritual gift of tongues could bring judgement upon the unbelievers and the un-informed and that this possible judgement was the "sign" to unbelievers that Paul was talking about. I assume you have not changed on that position and we are still in agreement, but I don't quite see how that comes into play in Acts 10. Even tho no interpretation occurred, no scoff or ridicule occurred, because only those who believed and were informed were present. retxar |

Aspilos, No mainline Pentecostal churches I know of would support the teaching that a born again believer must speak in tongues. All would consider that a false teaching as you do, and also as I do. If you a judging all Pentecostal churches according to the way the church you were raised up in taught you, that is simply not true, not fair, and is a false assumption. All Pentecostal churches I know of also teach that a believer is in-dwelt with the Holy Spirit when they are born again, as the WORD teaches. Most teach, as the WORD also teaches, that being filled with the Spirit is not the same as being in-dwelt with the Spirit (example: John 20:22-indwelt Acts 2:4-filled). Some teach that the “evidence” of being filled with the Spirit (not a salvation requirement tho) is speaking in tongues. They base this on scriptural example (as above) and experience (as Peter’s evaluation in Acts 10:47). Others believe, as I do, that speaking in tongues is a result of being filled with the Holy Spirit but not a requirement, because scriptural example and experience is not the same thing as scriptural command. I would recommend you read “The Beauty of the Spiritual Language” by Jack Hayford to get a handle on what is believed and taught about the spiritual gift of tongues in most Pentecostal churches today. God bless you my friend, retxar |

I'm glad we agree. Do I believe tongues can be imitated? Yes, but I don't know why someone would accuse another sincere believer of such. It is very hard, and certainly not a position I want to put myself in, to judge the intent of another’s heart. All the warnings in scripture concerning tongues are not for them being imitated, but rather for their use at inappropriate times. I can find no warnings for them being imitated in the early church, so I am assuming it was not a big problem or it would have surely been addressed. I think the same applies today. No mysteries exist in the interpretation of Acts 10:44-47. Peter was speaking. The Holy Spirit fell on those listening. They started praising God an speaking in other tongues as the Spirit gave them utterance. Peter and those with him interpreted what they say and heard as those who believed being born again and also being filled with the Holy Spirit because the same thing had happened to them.

Greetings Aspilos, I can agree with you according to your definition of "evidence". However, following your advice, I see a different meaning when I look up the words in question in a dictionary. ev·i·dence : A thing or things helpful in forming a conclusion or judgment. sign: Something that suggests the presence or existence of a fact, condition, or quality. re·sult: To come about as a consequence. I think any of the above dictionary definitions would fit very well with what the Jewish believers concluded in Acts 10:45-47. And those of the circumcision who believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because the gift of the Holy Spirit had been poured out on the Gentiles also. For they heard them speak with tongues and magnify God. Then Peter answered,"Can anyone forbid water, that these should not be baptized who have received the Holy Spirit just as we have?" (Acts 10:45-47) God bless, retxar |

Maybe not "evidence" as a Biblical requirement, but certainly as a Biblical “result of”. The Apostles were assured that the Gentiles were indeed filled with the Holy Spirit in Acts 10:45-47 by the result of/evidence of/sign of (pick the phrase that sounds best to you) the manifestation of the Spiritual gift of tongues. retxar |

You need to understand what kind of "sign" Paul was talking about here. He was addressing un-interpreted tongues in a public church service. He is saying that if un-interpreted tongues are allowed to go on, the uninformed or the unbeliever could bring judgement on themselves. They might treat the manifestation of the Holy Spirit with scoff and ridicule (1Co 14:23) and the Holy Spirit would be mocked (Act_2:13). This is the only interpretation that makes since because words of understanding would be the only ones those who are uninformed or unbelieving would recognize as a positive sign from the Lord (1Co 14:24-25). Un-interpreted, the sign to the uninformed or the unbelievers would NOT be a sign of edification, as would occur with interpretation (1Co_14:5). Rather, the manifestation of the Holy Spirit would become a sign of judgement to them because of there possible ridicule. The Isaiah quote in 1Co_14:21 bears this out. retxar |

Jesus promised that He would not return until He was welcomed by His people (Mat 23:37-39). One day that will happen and Israel will be saved (Rom 11:25-29). I think that will begin to happen when the Zec. prophesy you have presented here comes to pass. retxar |

135 | Are you convinced? | Mark 16:10 | retxar | 54816 | ||
Thanks Tim! Concerning Mark 16:16, if we go by what it says rather than what it does not say, it presents no doctrinal conflicts with the plain Biblical teaching of salvation by grace thru faith. It actually supports Eph. 2:8-9 very well! To me, Mark 16:16 is a strong witness that water baptism is NOT a salvation requirement, because those do not believe are condemned, not those who aren’t baptized. retxar |

136 | Could the "2 witnesses" be ... | Heb 11:13 | retxar | 54224 | ||
Heb 11:5 says that Enoch was taken away so that he did not see death. 2Ki 2:11 says Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven. 1Th 4:17 says that those who are alive and REMAIN will be caught up and will forever be with the Lord. By all scriptural accounts, Elijah and Enoch have already been "caught up" and are already forever be with the Lord. Therefore, tho they are indeed alive, they do not “remain" and, as I see it, will not be sent back to Earth to live as a natural person again. Listening for the trumpet! retxar |

Why did Christ come? TO SAVE: Matthew 9:13; Luke 19:10; 1 Timothy 1:15. How did He save? NOT BY BAPTISM: John 4:2, HOW THEN? BY BLOOD: Ephesians 1:7; 1 John 1:7; Revelation 1:5. What is the gospel? 1 Corinthians 15:1-4. TO ADD WATER IS HERESY: Galatians 1:8,9. How can one be saved? THROUGH FAITH -- BELIEVING: John 3:14,16,36, 6:47, 8:24, 11:25, 14:1, 20:30,31; Acts 10:43, 13:38; Romans 1:16, 4:3, 4:5, 10:9,10; l Corinthians 1:21; Galatians 2:16; Ephesians 1:13; 2 Timothy 1:12; 2 Peter 2:7. Who then should be baptized? THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN SAVED: Acts 2:41, 8:37, 10:47, 16:31-33 | ||||||
