Bible Note: Hi jcsav, I'm very confused by your response! You seem to be doing a major "cut-and-paste" by stating the Paul wrote to "already established Church at Corinith, not individuals reading his letters"??? So, Pauls' letter doesn't apply to me as an individual. All the Church at Corinth is long since deceased... I'm not "simply claim(ing) the Holy Ghost because you feel you have the right to do so."??? I cited 1 Cor. 12:13 which TELLS me I have this! This is a work done by the agency of the Holy Spirit. How do you interpret this verse? Now, unless you're willing to contradict scripture, one of us must be in error:-) You can either accept or reject this truth. But, since Jesus is ascended to the right hand of God, how is it that He "baptises with the Spirit?" Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |
