21 | 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 |

22 | 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 |

23 | 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 |

24 | Raising Funds for Christian work | Phil 4:17 | mitchm0521 | 167931 | ||
In Philipians 4:17 we see that Paul says this particular church communicated with him on giving and recieving more than any other, actually, they were the only ones to do just that. Paul goes on to say that even when he was in Thessalonica they sent unto him, not becuase he wanted a gift, but because he wanted fruit to abound to their account. As a minister of the Gospel we can say that the tithe belongs to God. It doesn't matter who you are, 10 percent of all your increase belongs unto the Lord. However, when it comes to giving other than that, it is something every Christian should do, but here is a good place to read how it should be done. 2 Cor 9:7-8 says to let every man give according to his heart, not grudgeingly or of necessity, for God loves a cheerful giver. He goes on to say that when a person gives cheerfully, that God is able to make all grace abound to that person, so that they can be all sufficient in all things, they will have no lack or want. And they will have no lack financially, so that they can then abound to every good work. There is nothing wrong with giving an offering, as a matter of fact, since God loves a cheerful giver, and since giving means we are advancing the kingdom of God, every Christian man or women should be overjoyed when its time to collect an offering. They should be as overjoyed at being able to give, as they would be if someone handed them one million dollars. Hope this helped, Mitch |

25 | What is to ask and receive the Holy Spir | Luke 11:13 | mitchm0521 | 167927 | ||
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 |

26 | What is to ask and receive the Holy Spir | Luke 11:13 | mitchm0521 | 167857 | ||
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 |

27 | 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 |

28 | 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. | ||||||
29 | 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 |

30 | What is the historical context of Act2:1 | Acts | mitchm0521 | 167784 | ||
Are you wanting to know who Acts 2 applies to? If thats your question, thats a simple one, it applies to all believers today. Acts 2 starts off with the day of Pentecost in wich the first believers, ( about 120 as it says ) were filled, or immersed in the Holy Ghost, they began to speak with other tongues as the Spirit gave them utterance. These were born again men and women who were awaiting the promise of the Holy Ghost that Jesus had told them of in the First chapter of Acts. So the baptism of the HOly Ghost, with the evidence of speaking in other tongues, is for all believers since that day. That was the first day it happened, it was the moment God poured out his Spirit upon all flesh! Hope that helped you, Mitch |

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? |

32 | 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 |

34 | What is preaching Christ? | John 7:17 | mitchm0521 | 167655 | ||
If everytime a believer dies, you say its the 'just punishment of sin' then woudln't that mean that person went to hell.. since they died in sin? Jesus took the penalty of sin from me, I don't have to have any of it. I might leave this body, but I will not die due to sin. I am delivered from all the effects of sin. I never have to live in this life with any form of sickness or disease, or poverty lack and want, I never have to live without God in my life. Thats just how it is brother. God Bless, Mitch |

35 | What is preaching Christ? | John 7:17 | mitchm0521 | 167654 | ||
Well you can try to read it however you want. From what I see in the passsage, the Word says if you give up those things, you get 100 fold in return (except wives ) and you get persecutions. When I learned cause and effect in grammar school I was tarught you don't have to use the words such as because and since, it can be implied. And when you tell me that I get such and such, and say with such and such, then you easily show me that one comes with the other, meaning if I don't have one, i wont get that other. I know bleievers suffer persecution but I bleive this scripture is showing us that there is persecution which comes wtih this 100 fold return. Meaning, someone who has the 100 fold in their lives, might be suffering something that someone who doesn't. Thats all I'm saying, the word says persecution comes with the 100 fold. Its that simple. God Bless, Mitch |

36 | Appreciate your further thoughts | John 7:17 | mitchm0521 | 167570 | ||
The Question wasn't directed at me, but if you like, I can tell you what those Scriptures in James are referring to.. however I wont bother discussing what Brother Hagin wrote, no need to talk about what he said when we can read the Word for ourselves :) Brother Hagin might be great to learn by, he has lots of material out there with a wealth of information in it.. however since so many on this forum detest him, we should just talk about the Word, and not the man... don't you agree? | ||||||
37 | What is preaching Christ? | John 7:17 | mitchm0521 | 167569 | ||
Even if it doesn't indicate 'cause' as you say. I'll believe that... actually give me some insight, I understand we read the Greek, and go on it, but is that what Jesus would have spoken in, or would he have spoken in Aramaic? Anyways.... the text clearly shows that the persecutions come with the 100 fold. So we can easily say if you have the 100 fold.. you have the persecutions.. .and on the same note, you can also say that if you dont hae the 100 fold, those persecutions that come with giving up something for the Lord, won't be with you then will they? If you get A, you get B. To get rid of B, don't get A... correct? |

38 | What is preaching Christ? | John 7:17 | mitchm0521 | 167568 | ||
Is there anything in Scripture that forbids you to go against the will of God? Because I'm fairly certain, if you go against God, as Satan does, you are in sin. And it is the exact same thing brother. If a man gets born again, and he was an alcoholic, and in order for him to fully put away that addiction from his life, he needed to stay away from all forms of alcohol, yet if you ran up to him and said, here is some good beer, drink it, besides, if God wants you off the stuff, he'll do it. IF God wants someone dead, and you try to prevent that, then you are in the exact same place as Satan, you are exalting yourself against God. God Bless, Mitch |

We'll close this part up here Brother, I responded about death in that other thread we have open up a bit. It gets to confusing having so many at once :) But in short, no, Christians die just like other people. Some Christians die from sickness, that doesn't mean we all have to does it? I'm simply saying, death is not sickness. There is a time that if Jesus tarries, I will leave this earthly body, I will as you call it 'die' but it wont be from any form of sickness or disease, I'll be an old old man, and age wont be a factor in my leaving this planet. Mitch |

Death is still here, as long as we can be martyed for the Lord Jesus. That is the only 'death' I ever might experience. And yes, salvation is complete deliverence from the curse, the Word says that doesn't it? Jesus has delivered us from the curse, correct? Death is the final enemy to be destroyed, and yes, it will be done. Sin will finally be destroyed as well wont it? Sin will take a man to the pits of hell and he will be tormented forever. But just because sin exists today in this earth, does it mean I am full of it? IN other words, just because death exists, doesn't mean I have to be in bondage to it. You don't have to die sick and poor, you can die like Moses did, you can know you are going to go, and know when you are going to go. It doens't have to be cancer, it doens't have to be a heart attack, its simply a matter of your life force going home to be with the Lord. On another note, since we agree that death is our enemy, then if God brings death upon us, how does that not make God our enemy? Your Brother, Mitch |
