Bible Note: Hello Derby, Yes, Christ can be glorified by "demonstrating His love and power through the faithful." The question becomes, "are the acts described in Matt. 10 normative for believers today?" I do not believe they are! Rather, they're descriptive vs. prescriptive. Consider John 14:12 in which we're told, "Truly, truly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do, he will do also; and greater works than these he will do; because I go to the Father." (NASB) This is not referring to 'sign gifts', but salvation! To whom do you refer as possessed? I don't see any Biblical evidence of a true believer being (able to be) possessed (1 John 4:4)! I wouldn't call it common for someone to be possessed. I find only 7 instances in the NT of demon possession. Can you elaborate? Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |
