Bible Note: "But Moses said to him, "Are you jealous for my sake? Would that all the LORD'S people were prophets, that the LORD would put His Spirit upon them!" --Numbers 11:29 What is Moses saying here? Is he saying that all those whom God's Spirit rests will become prophets? The context would seem to indicate nothing of the sort. If you don't mind, start with Numbers 11:25 and relate to us verse by verse that Moses is saying that all who will be indwelt with the Holy Spirit after Pentecost will be prophets. Then tell me why Paul is wrong in 1 Corinthians 12:28-30 and that you are right. Then cite passages which clearly state that God will give everyone what they desire, no matter how corrupt the motives are or self-centered the asking is or how much they want to control the operation of the sovereign Spirit of God, the third person of the Trinity, very God of very God. Radical Pentecostals/charismatics think themselves the kings over the King of Kings. God is the Lord of all, not some genie to grant us whatever we desire. Go read Philippians 1:29 and 2 Timothy 3:14 and see what God promises those who follow him. Of course, this is the desire of the heart which follows Christ (Philippians 3:10). --Joe! |
