Subject: Am I saved until Christ returns? |
Bible Note: 1st... 1 Co. 12:30 The passage states... do all speak with tongues concerning the Gift of the Spirit. I would ask you does every Christian have the gift of Faith because they believe on Jesus. The bible says without faith in him we cannot be saved, so where is the line drawn? Just becuase God would choose tounges as the initial evidence of the Holy Ghost does that not mean there couldn't be a gift of the spirit "tounges?" The gifts were for the church and to bless the body whereas the Holy Ghost is for the individual. How do you explain Rom 8:26 Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. The bible says the Spirit makes intercession for us with Groanings which cannot be uttered? 1Cr 14:6 Now, brethren, if I come unto you speaking with tongues, what shall I profit you, except I shall speak to you either by revelation, or by knowledge, or by prophesying, or by doctrine? Here it shows tongues doesn't do any good for the other person. If it wasn't the evidence 1Cr 12:19 And if they were all one member, where [were] the body? Why would God have empowered all the people in the upper room with the same "gift of the Spirit?" What would God need 120 people everyone in the place to be used in the same gift what was the purpose and what did it accomplish at that moment, but as a sign when they went outside Peter stood up and said this is the Holy Ghost which the prophet Joel prophesied about.... 1Cr 14:23 If therefore the whole church be come together into one place, and all speak with tongues, and there come in [those that are] unlearned, or unbelievers, will they not say that ye are mad? So why would God have used the "gift of Tongues" in Acts 2 as a sign for the people? When here it states they shouldn't all do it becuase it would confuse the people. How do you explain Mk 16:16-19 then? He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. Mar 16:17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; Mar 16:18 They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. I would propose that a true believer has the ability whenever he comes in contact with a demon possessed individual to cast it out 2) that we should all speak with tongues ((((my question is directly towards 2, how do you explain this)))) 3) in the event you are physically harmed (which we know we arent to tempt the Lord our God) God will protect his true believers or if we were to accidently drink something harmful God would protect us. HOW DO YOU EXPLAIN: 1Cr 14:18 I thank my God, I speak with tongues more than ye all: Here Paul states he speaks with tongues MORE THAN YE ALL... stating they also speak with tongues but he does it frequently. Here it appears the whole church in Corinth which was in fact a grounded church spoke with tongues. 1 Co. 14:29 says "forbid not to speak with tongues." FINALLY I WOULD END WITH THIS: Act 10:45 And they of the circumcision which believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because that on the Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the Holy Ghost. Act 10:46 For they heard them speak with tongues, and magnify God. Then answered Peter, here it states they were astonished when they saw them receive the Holy Ghost for "FOR THEY HEARD THEM SPEAK WITH TONGUES" there is no immediant visual evidence one receives the Holy Ghost but as Jn. 3:8 states it's like the wind you can hear it I don't mean to be argumentative. I have debated it with myself for sometime and after experiencing it for myself there is no way I will be convinced otherwise. I have been on both side of the tracks with this issue.. I thought people were finatics that were all about speaking it tongues but after experiencing it for myself I understand it's just excitement about meeting Jesus.
