Subject: TKO, does God operate differently today? |
Bible Note: How can you say let's move on, when the question of spiritual gifts has not been answer by scripture from you or anyone with a question. Acts8:13-24 The spiritual gifts in the first centry was made posible through the laying on of hands ("Apostles hands") the third party was not able to do so! Also the Power came from God in Acts 2 and Acts 10. You have to admit that what people are calling the Holy Spirit today is a far cry from what was done in the first centry! Lets look at 1Cor 12:28-31 You all believe that God is still allowing gifts to be used the same as He did in the first centry, 1Cor 12:28 And God hath set some in the church, first apostles,secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles,then gifts of healings, helps,governments,diversities of tongues. vs.29 is what need to be understood here today. Are all apostles? are all prophets? are all teachers? are all workers of miracles? Have all gifts of healing? do all speak with tongues? do all interpret? We know the answer to these questions is no! So when someone ask why don't I speak with tongues, the answer is 1Cor12:29-31. Those of you who know thier Bible on this matter need to speak out, to help those who don't understand this teaching. Some believe that there are apostles living today, and prophets, we know that's not true, but yet we let this belief about speaking with tongues go on and on. In this forum all were hearing about are (tongues), not working miracles and the other gifts, no one seem to look for the more (excellent way) Paul spoke about in vs.31 In chapter 13:10 he says when that which is (perfect) comes that which in part will be done away with, (of corse you don't want to hear this part). There was a problem of misuse of gifts in Corinth this is why Paul had to speak on this issue. 1Cor 14 the main point is for the church to edify each other. (EDIFICATI0N AND EXHORTATION AND COMFORT) vs.3 is what should be desired. The book of James lets us know we have the Perfect Law of Liberty James 1:25 This Law teaches us how it could be used and not abused. So instread of looking for God's Holy Spirit to speak in tongues, look to save soul through the Power of the Gospel. |
