Subject: 2nd ? Did Spirit save them? |
Bible Note: I didn't mean the "sole" purpose was to give the ability to speak in tongues, but definitely ushering in the new church and confirming God's word with power was a major part of it. As to Romans 8:7, Ananias and Sapphira were Christians and they were hostile to God, they lied to the Holy Spirit and God struck them dead. Simon,(Acts chapter 8) a Christian, tried to buy the Gift of the Spirit from Peter, and Peter said his heart was not right before God and that he was full of bitterness and captive to sin. That seems to point out two examples of Christians (someone who was saved and had the "indwelling of the Spirit"), and were hostile to God. arrow1 |
