21 | Pre, post, or mid tribulation rapture? | 1 Thess 4:17 | Huron | 165833 | ||
I'm on the fence about pre-, post, and mid tribulation rapture. Anyone want to share some insights? Anyone have a good Biblical argument for one or the other? Thanks! Huron |

Thanks Guys! I'm trying to see how this fits into Paul's account of justification in Romans 4 regarding Abraham. Huron |

25 | Did the 12 (or 120) believe on Penecost? | Acts 2:39 | Huron | 151260 | ||
Interesting question! First of all, I would have said 120 if you had asked me yesterday how many where there. Now, I'm not sure either way. Secondly, I think that they had believed for quite a while before they spoke in tongues. I had heard two years from the resurrection of Christ to the day of Pentecost. Not sure where that comes from. What do you think? |

26 | Holy Spirit / Tongues for Today? | Acts 2:39 | Huron | 151219 | ||
Angel, I am in agreement with what you are saying. I think we both agree that Baptism with the Holy Spirit, Baptism, and Conversion are three different things. All are part of the life of the believer. Of course, the person in question becomes a Christian when he believes and enters the fold of the Great Shepherd. That same Shepherd will guide him to the water baptism and the Baptism with the Holy Spirit. I think that we also can agree that there are too many "congragational views!" Huron |

Searcher thanks for the post #'s. I hope I didn't come across as argumentative. I was trying to type quickly so I could call it a night. Huron |

28 | Holy Spirit / Tongues for Today? | Acts 2:39 | Huron | 151186 | ||
Angel, Good point about speaking in tongues benefitting the speaker only unless there is an interpreter. In the interests of Biblical accuracy, I disagree about water baptism and Baptism with the Holy Spirit. In Acts it talks about them being different events. Mike |

29 | Holy Spirt w/ evidence of tongues? | 1 Cor 12:10 | Huron | 151162 | ||
Searcher56, Thanks for pointing that out. I agree with you that tongues will cease while love will never fail. I also see that tongues is said to "cease" while knowledge and Prophecy will be done away. Getting back to my original question, when will that be, and has that happened yet? Looks like we both have the same answer at this point - "not sure." |

30 | "For" is to show the Gentiles were part | Acts 10:46 | Huron | 151160 | ||
The word "for" shows how Peter and the others recognized that the Holy Spirit had come upon the Gentiles. The fact that the Holy Spirit came upon the Gentiles was how Peter knew that the Gospel was for the Gentiles also, BUT the speaking in tongues and exalting God is what clued them in to it. | ||||||
31 | Holy Spirit / Tongues for Today? | Acts 2:39 | Huron | 151158 | ||
On point #1, you have to read from Acts 2:4 through Acts 2:38 and 2:39 together. Pay special attention to 2:16 and 2:17,33. | ||||||
32 | Holy Spirit / Tongues for Today? | Acts 2:39 | Huron | 151149 | ||
Thanks for the posts. I agree with you on your view of MacArthur's statement. He deserves points for originality, though I don't agree with his conclusion. Huron |

33 | Holy Spirit / Tongues for Today? | Acts 2:39 | Huron | 151101 | ||
Searcher, -Point #1 Interesting viewpoint. Would Hebrew believers then in your opinion still speak in tongues? Peter did not say that the prophecy was fulfilled, and thus no longer relevant. Contrast this with Matthew 21:4,5; 27:35 speaking of one time fulfilled events. #2 In Acts 2:16, Acts 10:45-46, and in Acts 19:6 speaking in tongues was the initial evidence that they looked at to determine that they had in fact been baptized with the Holy Spirit. Notice the use of the word "for" in Acts 10:46. Point #3 True, but when is the "perfect coming", and if it hasn't come yet is tongues still relevant. Thanks for your consideration! Huron |

34 | Holy Spirit / Tongues for Today? | Acts 2:39 | Huron | 151099 | ||
Kalos, Thanks for replying. In a lot of ways I agree with you, in some I don't. Tongues does not seem to be a basic doctrine. To me, basic topics include the life, death, burial of Christ, believing in His name and his being God, being baptized as a believer, fellowshipping with other believers, and witnessing to others. I would bet that if we were to go get a cup of coffee somewhere we would see that we agree on a LOT of things. Just to let you know where I'm coming from, I've been a believer about 25 years. Now I'm revisiting all of the "truths" that I had been taught to make sure that I had not run in error. I'm hoping to examine the best arguments for and against tongues being for today. I've seen arguments that made sense for both views. I'm not a newby to the Word having read the NT through over twenty times, and the entire Bible several times. I appreciate your input. What are your views of tongues? |

35 | Holy Spirit / Tongues for Today? | Acts 2:39 | Huron | 151080 | ||
Angel, Thanks for sticking with this discussion. I can see that you've put some time into your efforts. Before we continue our discussion, let me clarify a few things. I'm not saying that ALL were convinced. What I meant was that tongues were the sign by which the apostles were convinced that the Holy Spirit had fallen on the Gentiles in Acts chapter 10. Secondly, to keep things clear let's not confuse water baptism with baptism with the Holy Spirit. In two documented cases in Acts, Baptism with the Holy Spirit preceded water baptism. Acts 10:44-48 is a great example. The important question is whether Baptism with the Holy Spirit and the initial evidence of speaking with tongues is for ALL generations. Now, getting back to 1 Corinthians 13:8-10. It's certainly possible to interpret that as Jesus's coming. Point remains the same. Neither heaven, or Jesus's second coming are past tense, so since the "perfect" has not come, it would seem to indicate that tongues hasn't ceased according to 1 Corinthians 13:8-10. |

36 | Holy Spirit / Tongues for Today? | Acts 2:39 | Huron | 151031 | ||
"Scripture never stipulates that all who were baptized and received the Holy Spirit spoke in strange languages..." True, but in Acts it was the thing that convinced them that the various groups had received the Baptism with the Holy Spirit in Acts 2, and in Acts 10. Getting back to the question, is there strong scriptural evidence that speaking in tongues was only for the Apostolic age besides 1 Cor 13:8-10? (The reason I say that is because it's possible to interpret "when the perfect comes" as heaven) Thanks! Huron |
||||||
37 | Holy Spirit / Tongues for Today? | Acts 2:39 | Huron | 151001 | ||
Do you think that Acts 2:39 is meant to include ALL Generations that will ever live? Did all Christians in the Apostolic age that had been baptized with the Holy Spirit speak in tongues? Thanks! Huron |

38 | Holy Spirit / Tongues for Today? | Acts 2:39 | Huron | 150966 | ||
I don't want to get too far off topic, but it seems that pro-tongues groups believe that the initial evidence of Baptism with the Holy Spirit IS that of speaking in tongues as the Spirit gives utterance. Apparently, this is how Peter knew that the Gentiles had received the Holy Spirit - they heard them speaking in tongues (Acts 10:44-46). It seems that subscribers to Pentecostal theology believe that Baptism with the Holy Spirit is NOT: simply for the Apostolic days, not the New Birth, and not Sanctification. I'm interested in the question of whether or not speaking in Tongues is only for the Apostolic days. Thanks! Huron |

Is Peter saying here that the Holy Spirit is for ALL generations? If yes, does this mean speaking in tongues? Regards, Huron |

40 | Does God guarantee prosperity? | James 5:6 | Huron | 150525 | ||
Does God guarantee prosperity to the righteous? Reading from James 5:4-6 it appears that the righteous man was a laborer working in the fields that had his wages witheld by the wealthy landowner. Since he was living hand to mouth, he eventually died. If God did guarantee prosperity to the righteous this could never have occured. Is this a reasonable interpretation to this verse, or am I way off? Thanks! Huron |
