Bible Note: WTB, Thank you for your response and clarification. 1. I'm not "judging" that your arrogant and superior, but your words come across that way. I may be wrong, if I am, them please accept my apology:-); 2. I've never said or even implied that you're lying. We may disagree but that in no way makes you a liar any more than me. I do not think you're lying! It boils down to a matter of interpretation. 3. Rest assured that I'm secure in my salvation! I do know God, and I have a personal relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ in accord with John 17:3 and 1 John 5:11-13: "“This is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent." "And the testimony is this, that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. He who has the Son has the life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have the life. These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, so that you may know that you have eternal life." 4. My faith is in the person of the Lord Jesus Christ, not just the "words" of scripture or "theologians" as the warning of Christ in John 5:39-40 refers. 5. I totally agree that God has a purpose for me- I believe I'm fulfilling it currently. However, I would have to disagree that His "purpose" necessarily intimates "signs and gifts". Consider, Hebrews 4:12 "For the word of God is living and active and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing as far as the division of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart." God's word is Living, and It does have the ability to change my life and others as we believe it, and allow it to dwell richly in us! So, His Word is not just Rhema, but Logos! Many godly believers, who did not believe in the "sign gifts" accomplished much for the kingdom and were used in a mighty way:-) Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |
