Bible Question: Thank you once again. I will look up the reference texts. Doc asked me to look at a site. I did. Its called Pyromaniac. Again, I mean not to be stubborn here, I just need to know if the Spirit has stopped moving in our churches today as He did in the book of Acts. I have Pyro's thoughts, however I"m hungry for scripture I need something from the Word that leaves me with no doubt. Please help. |
Bible Answer: AC 2:38 Peter said to them, “ Repent, and each of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins; and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. AC 2:39 “For the promise is for you and your children and for all who are far off, as many as the Lord our God will call to Himself.” RO 11:29 for the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable. RO 12:6 Since we have gifts that differ according to the grace given to us, each of us is to exercise them accordingly: if prophecy, according to the proportion of his faith; RO 12:7 if service, in his serving; or he who teaches, in his teaching; RO 12:8 or he who exhorts, in his exhortation; he who gives, with liberality; he who leads, with diligence; he who shows mercy, with cheerfulness. 1CO 7:7 Yet I wish that all men were even as I myself am. However, each man has his own gift from God, one in this manner, and another in that. 1CO 12:4 Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit. 1CO 12:5 And there are varieties of ministries, and the same Lord. 1CO 12:6 There are varieties of effects, but the same God who works all things in all persons. 1CO 12:7 But to each one is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good. 1CO 12:8 For to one is given the word of wisdom through the Spirit, and to another the word of knowledge according to the same Spirit; 1CO 12:9 to another faith by the same Spirit, and to another gifts of healing by the one Spirit, 1CO 12:10 and to another the effecting of miracles, and to another prophecy, and to another the distinguishing of spirits, to another various kinds of tongues, and to another the interpretation of tongues. 1CO 12:11 But one and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing to each one individually just as He wills. 1PE 4:10 As each one has received a special gift, employ it in serving one another as good stewards of the manifold grace of God. |
