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]. |

Bible Note: Hi javelin, Instead of just bashing, discarding, and dismissing "anti-tongues-type answers" as "junk theology with zero biblical basis", could you not demonstrate your point BIBLICALLY! That's a rather brash assertion. My friend, that is simply YOUR opinion. It is proper protocol on this Forum to make your case by providing a biblical basis for your point. You'd also be wise to realize that there is legitimate disagreement among good, evangelical, Bible-believing Christians on the matter of Spiritual gifts. This matter certainly carries a high degree of emotionalism on both sides. However, I think it prudent to ultimately allow others- myself included- to agree to disagree agreeably on this matter:-) By the way, you quote the Mark 16:17. (Which is all-too-often overused as a proof-text) I think it reasonable to ask, did you purposely leave out verse 18? If so why? By the same measure of "faith" that you proclaim, do YOU also pick up serpents, drink deadly poison, and lay hands on the sick and they recover? Those "signs" are all in the same context...
