NASB | Ephesians 4:14 As a result, we are no longer to be children, tossed here and there by waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, by craftiness in deceitful scheming; |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Ephesians 4:14 So that we are no longer children [spiritually immature], tossed back and forth [like ships on a stormy sea] and carried about by every wind of [shifting] doctrine, by the cunning and trickery of [unscrupulous] men, by the deceitful scheming of people ready to do anything [for personal profit]. |
Subject: Can you define Charismatic |
Bible Note: Hi EdB when I was first saved I believe the church that I belonged to was of the Holiness movement. I found that I could not live Holy without God's Grace. Yet we were told that indeed a man could live a sin-free life. I wore no jewelry except a lone watch, no make up, my skirts dragged the ground, my shirts covered all skin except my hands. No matter what I did I failed miserably to be Holy. It was all outward appearance. As I grew I began to pray about it. As I read and understood and came to realize that it was a noble and ideal dream, that I could not accomplish, but God is able to accomplish it. Due to your definitions I would say that my beliefs are still more in line with the Pentecostal, having seen the Gifts of the Spirit at work in the Church. Thank you so much for the further insight. -kathy |
