Subject: what is speaking in tongues? |
Bible Note: Hi, AO; A couple of questions: You said "Once it was obvious throughout the world that His word was the truth, there was no need for the confirmation." Is it obvious to 1.2 billion Muslims? "As an aside, if ... healing existed today there would be 100 percent sucess in curing the sick." How do you know? We don't know that there was ever 100 percent success; we can assume it based on silence, but it's still an assumption. I certainly agree that there seems to be far less evidence of some gifts today. But maybe that says more about the church's ability faithfully to use them than it does about God's gracious willingness to bestow them. Not looking to start a big dispute - I just get nervous when people confidently say that God has ceased the exercise of his grace in this way or that. Peace and grace - and Merry Christmas Steve aka Indiana Jones |
