Oh really wrote: Knock yourself out, if you want to embarass yourself. You have an unnecessarily sharp tongue.Concerning 1 Cor 2:12, there is a clear distinction between 'Signs of an Apostle' and 'Signs, wonders and etc.' Again, there is nothing conclusive here to that particular argument. Also, how does Hebrews 4 definitively say the miraculous gifts of the spirit are not functioning at the time? Don't you see that there wouldn't be anymore 'gifts of the Holy Spirit' either? |

San Jose John wrote: My sister claims to have a "prayer language" by which she speaks privately to God in a "tongue" that not even she understands. She claims it makes her feel good/blessed. She thinks it's cool. I think it's dangerous. If the words she's praying back to God are actually from a demon, she may be cursing God without even realizing it, thinking she's blessing Him instead. "Feeling good" is no safe valitdation of spiritual activity since most if not all people "feel good" (at least in the short run) when they sin. Sadly she's so enthralled by this "gift" of hers that neither I nor anyone else can convince her otherwise. So much of what passes for Christianity today is largely a do-it-yourself religion, with little bits of Bible thrown in for seasoning. Right, if it is a demon, wouldn't she bear the fruit there of? Why would you stifle something that you can't definitively say is dangerous and helps her feel closer to the God of the Bible?Sure, if she starts becoming disobedient, you might find some causation or correlation, but why don't you encourage your sister, build her up like you should? I understand the warning, but again, unless she isn't bearing fruits of the spirit then there is no need for correction or such... |

Oh really wrote: What about the rest of his article? Did you bother to read that? If so, why strain at gnats when you're swallowing camels? If everyone performed miracles, how could the apostle use this as an argument for his apostleship? And again I ask, why in Heb 2.4 is the reference to historic events if such sign gifts were still in operation when the letter to the Hebrews was written? Would you suggest I post a reply to each portion of his argument on here? I feel you would refer to his authority rather than the understanding of scripture.The signs of a true apostle were performed among you with utmost patience, with signs and wonders and mighty works. (ESV) Truly the signs of an apostle were wrought among you in all patience, in signs, and wonders, and mighty deeds. (KJV) Paul says Signs of an Apostle were wrought, but does not define them then he also concludes that there were 'signs wonders and mighty deeds' also done with these 'signs of the apostle' Not a definitive statement concerning Apostolic Signs. |

Oh really wrote: Check this out: [URL=http://www.metropolitantabernacle.org/Sword-And-Trowel/Sword-and-Trowel-Articles/Proving-that-Charismatic-Gifts-Have-Ceased]]]The sign gifts have ceased[/URL] Or if you wish to read a lengthy proof of the position, read Warfield's Counterfeit Miracles. Most historic reformed confessions include something to the effect that they ceased. Why would Hebrews 2.4 make reference to a historic occurence if the things were still happening? What were the "signs of an apostle" that Paul appealed to as proof of his apostleship? etc.. Do you read your Bible with your brain switched off? Within the first paragraph of the article you cite, the author says that such signs and wonders were given to the apostles for authentication. I don't think it would be too difficult to demonstrate that there were many other believers other than the apostles demonstrating miraculous gifts as well as being told to do so by Paul. |

Yea Scott, you treat the symptoms sometimes though don't you? The proverbs even warn us this way to avoid paths wind down evil ways. I understand it is all heart and intentions, but I feel like a thing that causes sinning in so many cases makes a good case to remove it in many more cases. Kudos to the pastor being willing to step out and say such a strong thing. I hope he doesn't go off the deep-end though. (legalism) |

TT wrote: Does anyone have any concept of or love for the truth anymore? Thank God for Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, Ky. willing to stand for the truth and call heresy when they see it. What about Ergun Caner? Does he not consistently live out a heresy with deceptions and is yet love by the Southern Baptist Convention? Both men are egomaniacs, both men have theologies as a result of their mistakes, yet one is not exposed because of his loyalties. We need more love of truth. |

Seriously Ernie?This is a bible bee, not a secular gathering. It is real good to hear a young boy praising God in such a mature way, but this isn't about the KJV. |
