701 | Were the 120 orphans before Penecost? | 1 Cor 12:11 | prayon | 111880 | ||
Then who is the Spirit to come in John 16:13? ("When the Spirit of Truth comes, he will guide you into the full truth. He won't speak on his own. He will speak what he hears and will tell you about things to come.") Why when Jesus was talking to the apostles did He say in a few days that you will be baptized if they were already baptized as you claim? (Act 1:5 John baptized with water, but in a few days you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit." Act 1:8 But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes to you.) If they already had the Holy Spirit then Jesus did not know what He was talking about when He told them they would be baptized in a few days. prayon |

702 | speaking in tongues 1cor.12:1coming | 1 Cor 12:13 | prayon | 125282 | ||
Greetings MrOteng, Robin is right. Speaking in tongues is a gift of the Holy Spirit available to everyone. It is the evidence of the Holy Spirits indwelling (see Acts 2,8,9,10, and 19). There are 5 conditions for receiving the Holy Spirit. 1) Must be saved (John 14:17) 2) Must be obedient. A Christian in known sin can not receive, his heart will condemn him resulting in no faith (Acts 5:32) 3) Must have faith. A Christian must be fully persuaded that this experience is in him. (Gal 3:2) 4) Must ask in faith (Mark 11:24; Luke 11:13) 5) Must yield to the Holy Spirit (Acts 2:4) Since the gift of tongues is available to everyone the reasons that a Christian would not area lack of: 1) obedience to God in their life 2) Faith 3) Yeilding when the Holy Spirit comes on them such as your mouth is closed, you are speaking in English (can't speak in 2 languages at the same time). Hope this helps. prayon |

703 | Prerequisite-infallibility? | 1 Cor 12:27 | prayon | 12525 | ||
Dear Charis welcome home! Prophet: a person who communicates a divine message or an "oracle" (utterance) received from God. (Eerdmans Bible Dictionary); A persone who serves as a channel of communication between human and divine worlds (Harpers Bible Dictionary) If there are no more prophets then it must mean that God is not communicating with us any more???? Apostle: An official representative charged with a commission (Eerdmans); An apostle is "one who is sent out". An apostle is a personal messenger or envoy, commisioned to transmit the message or otherwise carry out the instructions of the commissioning agent. I guess if there are not any apostles any more then God is not sending anyone out to deliver his good news???????? In summary, I guess in certain ways we are all on our own??????? Something wrong with this picture? |

706 | Is it biblical to speak in tounges? | 1 Cor 14:1 | prayon | 148123 | ||
Greetings Marcie and welcome to the forum. Speaking in tongues is today as well as in biblical times. God is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow. What He desired of people in biblical days He desires of us now. Co 14:2,4a When a person speaks in another language, he doesn't speak to people but to God. No one understands him. His spirit is speaking mysteries....When a person speaks in another language, he helps himself grow. I have listed 10 reasons why believers should speak in tongues in my reply to Nomi just above this question in the "answered questions". prayon |

707 | Tongues speaking selfish w/o interteper? | 1 Cor 14:4 | prayon | 148586 | ||
Edify means to build up. Verse 2 says that "When a person speaks in another language, he doesn't speak to people but to God." (GW) So what you are saying is that it is selfish of me to want to build myself up spiritually? Verse 2 says that So me speaking to God in another language to build myself up is selfish? prayon |

708 | Do tongues indicate presence of Holy Spi | 1 Cor 14:19 | prayon | 13298 | ||
Greetings Bobbie! I also agree with Nolan, Moran, and Steve. I do speak in tongues but I want to add that I didn't speak in tongues right away. I believe that it is a gift that the Lord perfects and puts into "action" when the season is right. prayon | ||||||
709 | Are modern services merely a tradition? | 1 Cor 14:29 | prayon | 60551 | ||
Greetings Aspilos, I am not quite sure exactly what you are looking for but I will give it a try. "let others pass judgement" - the bible tells us that whenever we hear the Word preached by someone we are to search the scriptures to make sure the words he speaks lines up with what the Word says. I would hope that everyone does this. Is this what you were looking for? prayon |

710 | Why should women be silent in churches? | 1 Cor 14:34 | prayon | 58518 | ||
Greetings JKeel, In the Corinthian culture, women were not allowed to confront men in public. Apparently some of the women who had become Christians thought that their Christian freedom gave them the right to question the men in public worship. This was causing division in the church. These verses are not meant to say that women should not allowed to participate in church, which some people try to say today. In chapters 12-14 it clearly states that women have spiritual gifts, and they are encouraged to use them in the body of Christ. prayon |

712 | Which environment would be best? | 1 Cor 15:33 | prayon | 52961 | ||
Greetings sufficient grace, The bible tells us that the husband is the head of the household. As the head of the household and the father he is responsible for his daughters spiritual education. This I believe extends to all situations, including finding the best environment for her to be brought up in. So the basic question is whether she should be brought up in an immoral or moral environment. I don't believe the best choice is an immoral environment, which means that she should live with her father. Being brought up in the wrong environment is more harmful than for her to be raised by her mother. In addition, by the father raising the child, that does not mean that the child would not be seeing her mother. And if it truly is a lesbion situation the father could carefully teach the child the truth and still let the child have a good relation with the mother. Hope this helps. prayon | ||||||
713 | Jesus - called the "last adam"? | 1 Cor 15:45 | prayon | 145399 | ||
Greetings, According to the MacArthur study bible throught the first adam wer received our natural bodies but through the last Adam we will receive our spiritual bodies in resurrection. Adam's body was the prototype of the natural, Christ's body of the resurrection. Adam was a type and shadow of Jesus. prayon | ||||||
714 | what color will we all be heaven | 1 Cor 15:51 | prayon | 2325 | ||
1Cor 15:51-53 says that at the time of the rapture our earthly bodies will be changes to immortal bodies. It is also the general concensus from questions asked in the past (search: heaven) that we will be able to recognize our loved ones. I believe that we will all remain the color/race we are now but that the sin of predjudice will be gone and that people will not look at the color of your skin but the heart that lays beneath. | ||||||
715 | Searching for the truth | 2 Corinthians | prayon | 75395 | ||
Greetings FytRobert, Grace is God doing for us what we can not do for ourselves, it is getting what you don't deserve. The definition I like the best is grace is unmerited favor. prayon | ||||||
716 | help | 2 Cor 5:17 | prayon | 111973 | ||
Greetings Dave, I agree with what terrib said but I want to add a little more. Know that you will make mistakes, we all do. There is not one tht doesn't. The thing to remember is that God is a forgiving God and He knows where your heart is. So don't get down on yourself when you do. You are the child of a King! I agree that the most important thing is to find a bible believing church. Keep trying different churches until you get to the one that feels like home and then stay there. To keep your focus stay in the word. You need the word as much as your body needs food. You can not survive without it. When you run into a question then just ask it at the forum, we will be glad to help you understand what you read. I also agree that you need to find a bible that you can understand. For simplicity I love the God's Word translation. prayon prayon |

717 | what if a christian is married to non-ch | 2 Cor 6:14 | prayon | 146960 | ||
Greetings aiello - The bible is very clear on that - 2 Cor 6:14: Don't become partners with those who reject God. How can you make a partnership out of right and wrong? That's not partnership; that's war. Is light best friends with dark? (Message Bible). If this does not answer your question please let me know. prayon |

718 | can i pay my tithes to my mother? | 2 Cor 9:7 | prayon | 109147 | ||
Greetings Sonny and welcome to the forum, The answer to your question is no. Malachi 3:10 tells us to "Bring one-tenth of your income into the storehouse so that there may be food in my house. Test me in this way," says the LORD of Armies. "See if I won't open the windows of heaven for you and flood you with blessings. The storehouse refers to God's house. By not bringing your tithes to the storehouse you are being disobedient to God. We are required as Christians to take care of God's house and God's appointed pastors. This is done by tithes. When the tithes are not paid the priests / pastors are deprived and will have to give up doing God's work to find a job. The peoples religious will be hampered and some may suffer because of it. That certainly is not God's plan. In the NT there is not specific law of tithing, but this does not imply that we are to give less than was required of the Isrealites. Instead it is implied that we should give more because the grace of God to us is more fully revealed. While the tithe is not mentioned as such, proportionate giving is clearly taught in 1Cor 16:2: Every Sunday each of you should set aside some of your money and save it. Then money won't have to be collected when I come. Much is said about giving liberally and joyfully, and 2Cor 9:6-8 teaches that rewards in the day of Christ will commensurate with the degree of sacrificial giving now. YOu said that you do not presently attend church. I have no idea why but I will say that YOu need to find a church home. Jesus tells us that we need to fellowship with other believers. He also tells us that we are to keep striving for knowledge and growth. We grow by being taught which is what should happen in church. If you do not want to attend your previous church then ask God for direction to where He wants you to be. By not attending church somewhere you are robbing yourself of a multitude of blessings. Until you do find a church home I would say to ask God where to send your tithes. Is there a TV ministry that you watch regularly? prayon |

719 | What is the meaning of 2 Cor 11:1-22 | 2 Cor 11:1 | prayon | 25077 | ||
Greetings Praise211! Chapter 11 is about both himself and the church. He is using himself as an example to warn the Corinthian church about false teachers. In this part of the chapter Paul is deeply concerned about the Corinthians, whom he loves and admires so much, and their being misled by the false prophets. He apologises twice for his boasting (ver. 1, 16) but feels he must do this in order to silence the false teachers (ver 11,13). Paul acknowledges that boasting is not of the Lord but a desperate situation called for desperate measures. His boasting was not for self-glorifacation, but to counter the false doctrine threatening the Corinthaian Church. The Corinthians had a pure and simple devotion to Christ that was being threatened by false teachers. He did not want them to loose their focus on Christ. The church was falling for smooth talkers that sounded good and seemed to make sense. But the false teachers ended up distorting the truth and preaching another Christ than the one in the bible. Paul bluntly and directly exposed the false teachers for what they were - emissaries of Satan. He warned the Corinthians that they may look good, and sound good but they were not of God. prayon |

720 | Three different heavens in the Bible? | 2 Cor 12:2 | prayon | 4131 | ||
This Interpretation brings up RED FLAGS for me!!!! There is only one religious group that believes in 3 heavens - The Mormons. They believe that heaven is for everyone, but consists of 3 different and distinct levels: terestial for non believers, terrestial for religious non-Mormons and backslidden Mormons, and celestial for good LDS church members only, where they may even become Gods. In an explanation for that verse in my life application bible it states that Paul was continuing his foolish boasting as he called it, by telling about visions and revelations he had from the Lord. "I know a person" means that he was speaking about himself. He explained that he didn't know if he was taken in his body or his spirit, but he was in paradise ("the third heaven"). This incident can not be matched with any recorded event in Paul's life. The concept of the 3 heavens may of been deduced from the "heavens, even the highest heaven" mentioned in 1Kings 8:27, which may of been referring to God's great omnipresence, (See Ps 139:7-16 or Is 66:1). |
