Subject: Who decided that the extraordinary gifts |
Bible Note: Dear Bmyers, I certainly didn't mean to give the impression that I thought the Holy Spirit was inactive. No, indeed! I agree with you that all healing is from the Lord -- whether of miraculous origin or otherwise. Still and all, I can only look askance at ministries like that of Benny Hinn and his ilk. The greatest evidence of the Holy Spirit's activity is nothing so mundane or sensationalistic. Regeneration is the greatest miracle of all, followed closely by the continuous work of progressive sanctification. If you see a person growing in holiness, that is a more sure sign of the Holy Spirit's work than thousands of healings or millions of tongue speakers! Frankly, if you see all of the latter, but none of the former, it isn't the Holy Spirit at all. In Him, Doc |
