83 | Aren't all believers stewards? | 1 Cor 4:1 | prayon | 112000 | ||
Greetings and welcome to the forum, I was able to find 3 of them for you but I can't seem to locate the other. Below these 3 are some possibles. 1Co 16:19 The churches in the province of Asia greet you. Aquila and Prisca and the church that meets in their house send their warmest Christian greetings. . Col 4:15 Greet our brothers and sisters in Laodicea, especially Nympha and the church that meets in her house. Phm 1:2 our sister Apphia, our fellow soldier Archippus, and the church that meets in your house. One of them would be where Eutychus was sitting in the window and fell out while Paul was preaching or at Cornelius' house. A third possible could be the prison guard that was converted after the earthquake at the jail. Another could be Lydia's house, Hope this helps, prayon |

84 | prayon, Infilling happen at salvation? | 1 Cor 12:11 | prayon | 111845 | ||
Searcher shall follow 3877 KJV for will accompany From G3844 and G190; to follow near, that is, (figuratively) attend (as a result), trace out, conform to: - attain, follow, fully know, have understanding. Since Jesus tells us tells us 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. This shows that He (the Spirit) was not here yet so receive has to be in the future tense. That is what I said - being baptized with the Spirit is for Christians only and not the same as being baptized in water. prayon |

85 | Prayon, Do you claim the other 4, too? | 1 Cor 12:11 | prayon | 111840 | ||
No it is not, first of all I have not died yet - I still have a life ahead of me. (Henry) Deadly poisons - "If they be compelled by their persecutors to drink any deadly poisonous thing" not that they were hereby warranted to drink poison, to show what power they had; but should they accidentally drink it, or rather should they be forced to it by their enemies in order to destroy them, they should find no hurt by it (Gill) I guess this couldn't apply to even the apostles then because the bible does not give an example of this happening. Also if taking this literally it can violate the Principle of Literature in Bible Interpretation. prayon |

Searcher, I would like to add a couple more of Kenneth Hagin's books. We use a lot of his books in the bible college I go to. Bible Prayer Study Course is very good. If you don't have a lot of time there is a short book callled "Baptism in the Holy Spirit; Living in the Fulfillment of the Promise". This book includes the 10 reasons every believer should speak in tongues. prayon |

88 | Should we ask God for the gift of tongue | 1 Cor 12:11 | prayon | 111764 | ||
Hi Searcher, If Mark 16:17-18 were meant only for the 11 it would of stated so. When he was refering to the apostles he always stated "the apostles" or "the twelve". Here it says believers therefore it means all believers. If believers meant apostles it would have to mean apostles in every instance it is mentioned. If it had different meanings in 2 different passages it would violate the principles of bible interpretation. Therefore Acts 4:4 "But many of those who had heard the message became believers, so the number of men who believed grew to about 5,000", would mean that those 5000 became apostles because they all spoke with tongues. This isn't possible because it would violate 1Co 12:29 "Not all believers are apostles, are they?..." Act 2:4 "All the believers were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other languages as the Spirit gave them the ability to speak." This verse is referring to those in the upper room, the 3ooo were from the crowd who heard them speaking. To address your statement of the 120 speaking in known languages - These are languages that the Spirit gave them the ability to speak. If the person already knew the language why did the Holy Spirit have to give them the ability to speak them? The languages they were speaking were unknown to them but others from the crowd recognized them as their own dialects (see vs 7-12.) If they were speaking their own known languages why were they amazed and perplexed? As for the 3000, they were baptized in water as John the baptist had baptized. It does not say anywhere in the passage that they were baptixed with the Holy Spirit as it does in the 5 passages I mentioned. 2:27? Not sure if you got the right scripture here... 4:4 - Here again there is no mention of a baptism of the Holy Ghost. 8:14-17: read on to verses 18-19. Here Simon saw evidence of the Holy Ghost after Peter and John laid hands on them and they received the Holy Spirit (v 17). It is believed that the evidence that Simon saw was them speaking in tongues. 8:34-39 again speaks of a water baptism. It does not mention a baptism of the Holy Spirit. 9:4-19 As you stated he spoke in tongues later Chap 10 and 19 you agree they spoke in tongues. 16:14-15; 31-34: again speaking of a water baptism. Whenever someone was baptized with the Holy Spirit it specifically states that it was the baptism of the Holy spirit. Summary: Four out of 5 cases tongues was the initial evidence. In the 5th case tongues is alluded to. If 100 percent of the cases in Acts the initial evidence of being filled with the Spirit was tongues then tongues must be important. Mark 16:17-18: As you said these signs are to be taken together. I am going to assume that you agree that the name of Jesus has Power in it. When we use His name we use the power associated with it. "These are the miraculous signs that will accompany believers: They will use the power and authority of my name to force demons out of people. They will speak new languages. They will pick up snakes, and if they drink any deadly poison, it will not hurt them. They will place their hands on the sick and cure them." Today we 1) speak new languages. 2) Some have the gift of healing and lay hands on the sick and they do recover. 3) There are devils being cast out of people today. 4) I havn't heard of snakes being picked up but I have heard a lot of other miraculous things that have happened. Jesus said "Mar 16:17 "These are some of the signs that will accompany believers". He didn't say apostles, He said believers. I am a believer. You are a believer. These miraculous signs follow us as well if we choose. This is a promise from Him to us. prayon |

89 | searching for wisdom | Bible general Archive 2 | prayon | 111135 | ||
Greetings, I would tell you to obey the voice of the Holy Spirit above all. Many times we become so comfortable in a place that we do not grow anymore. The Holy Spirit has a way of moving us to take us out of our comfort zone and put us in a position where we can be challenged and be able to once again grow. I am not telling you this is what you should do - that is up to the Holy Spirit to tell you what to do. If you believe that God has told you to move on then by all means do it. If you are not sure ask God to give you confirmation and He will; but be sure to not reject that comfirmation of whichever way it leads you. It is possible to do just that because of the history you have with the church that you mentioned above. It is very hard for some people to leave behind what they know and are comfortable with and step out in faith but we have to do just that. We have to learn to place our lives in His hands and step out whether we understand it or not. A few years ago I was told by the Holy Spirit to get ready I would be leaving. My reaction to Him "you must be joking God I am trying to buy a house". Well He wasn't joking. After more comfirmations than I should of needed I packed myself and my children up and came to a place where I knew no one, I had no job, no place to live, and did not have the least idea of why I was here. But God moved on my behalf in ways that were amazing. Trust in Him and lean not to thine own understanding.... On the other hand if He tells you not to leave then stay where you are and pray for the leadership. Submit to the authority that God has placed over you unless there is a clear and direct violation of scripture. In the future God will reward you for your obedience and will full the law of seedtime and harvest (you reap what you sow) in their lives. I hope I have helped. Let me know what happens I will be very interested. prayon |

93 | what are some pitfalls to commitment? | Bible general Archive 2 | prayon | 109816 | ||
Greetings, 1Pe 5:8 says to be sensible and vigilant, because your adversary the Devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking someone he may devour. A lion will devour you in any way he can and in any circumstance he can. Any thing that would take your mind and heart off of Jesus is fair game for the devil and he will use every opportunity to lure you away from your commitment to God. prayon |

95 | can i pay my tithes to my mother? | 2 Cor 9:7 | prayon | 109149 | ||
Renovate me, I ask you to type tithes into the quick search at the top right hand corner. YOu may realize that tithing is just as pertinent today as it was in the OT. As for what is a tithe for anymore, it has the same purpose as it did in the OT. It is to care for God's house and to provide for the pastor. When we do not tithe we are robbing God's appointed ones. In addition, when we don't tithe and support those appointed by God to be over us then they will have to go out into the workforce to support themselves. How much ministering will have to be pushed aside that they could of been doing if they could devote 100 percent of their time to doing God's work? prayon | ||||||
96 | Send My messenger before Your face | 2 Tim 2:15 | prayon | 109146 | ||
Hi Ray, I am not sure. My NKJ has it in italics which to me would mean the same as Me. However, when you read it it does not make sense to put the name of Jesus in there. The only name that would fit in there is John the Baptist, but why would 'he' be italisized if it were John? prayon | ||||||

99 | GOD CAST SATAN FROM HEAVEN? | Rev 12:4 | prayon | 95198 | ||
Greetings laststep and welcome to the forum, The bible does not specifically say when this event happened. There is a theory called the 'gap theory' that it occurs between Gen 1:1 and 1:2. In verse 1 it states that God created the heavens and the earth. In verse 2 it says that the earth was without form and void. Form comes from the Hebrew word "tohu" which means 'From an unused root meaning to lie waste; a desolation (of surface), that is, desert; figuratively a worthless thing; adverbially in vain: - confusion, empty place, without form, nothing, (thing of) nought, vain, vanity, waste, wilderness'. Void is the Hebrew word which means 'From an unused root (meaning to be empty); a vacuity, that is, (superficially) an undistinguishable ruin: - emptiness, void. Since we know that God does not create anything that is not perfect there must of been a space of time inbetween the 2 verses where the earth went from perfect to chaos. According to the Gap theory it is believed that: 1) a pre-Adamic race existed 2) Lucifer and his angels may have ruled over the nations 3) that it was at this time that Lucifer was thrown out of heaven. Hope this helps. prayon (definitions from Strongs Concordance) |

Greetings Darcy, I disagree. Every forum needs a group to watch over it. Many times there are Jehovah's Witnesses, Mormons, atheists, ect. on this forum that attempt to lure baby Christians who do not know the Word over to their 'denomination'. So if only for the sake of these babies a forum needs to be overseen. prayon | ||||||
