Bible Note: Dear Nate, Greetings in Jesus' name! Trust me, my friend, you are not the only one 'dazed and confused' by the antics of those claiming 'gifts and powers' of the Holy Spirit! I believe in all the gifts of the Holy Spirit and callings to ministry described in the New Testament. But so many add extra 'meaning' and 'zing' to these God-given blessings, usually to the glory (and pocket!) of the charismatic fellow with the microphone. Talk about 'propheteering!' :-) All gifts and ministries are for the glory of God and His church!! I look forward to hearing more from you, both questions AND answers! Bless you in your quest for truth and peace... In Christ Jesus, charis |
