Anyone can invoke the New Testament to justify anything they desire to do. Scripture can be twisted. Every sect and cult out there has their own interpretation of scripture.
What we have to do is decide, by a preponderance of the evidence, whether a thing is more likely from man or Yahweh. This takes discernment.
That would be so subjective. One person is convinced that they can discern the truth better than another one and they both judge each other as being the dishonest one. Every man is right in his own eyes, and calls it discernment.
The scriptures are our only rule of faith and conduct.
Exegeting texts about the gift of tongues is the only way to learn the truth about the gift of tongues that will pass the test of biblical authority,
and yet experiencing the gift of tongues is the only way to really know why God gave it and the benefits.
Therefore the real authority of the scriptures is that which is
lived. The same god breathed scriptures are still being breathed upon in the lives of those who are filled with that same Spirit.
We must sit at the feet of Jesus and listen to God speak to us through His Son and not be distracted by all the things that demand our time. This will position us to receive illumination (be careful how you listen) and instead of what you think you know being taken from you, the illumination that you do receive will not be taken from you. Luke 8:19, Luke 10:39.
The condition of the heart is critical to having understanding in the scriptures and obtaining true authorial intent.
Discernment of the things of God are directly associated with the condition of the heart (parable of the sower) Luke 8.
That good and honest heart is a repentant heart, where the ground is tilled up and able to receive without arguing with God.
Martha thought she was so morally correct about Mary needing to help her that she expected Jesus to agree with her. She thought for sure that Jesus being the moral teacher that he was was on her side. But her "ethical ideas" were not as unrefutably as she imagined. Mary had chosen the right part and Martha should have not been distracted by what was good and missed the most excellent.
We can be so sure about our own discernment and ability to see what is God and what isn't God and yet what we think we have will be taken from us, yea, already has been, because we are self confidently thinking something that is not accurate at all.
Why? Heart issues. We go on in obstinate sin and don't realize it has darkened our ability to see clearly. What sin? Usually it has to do with how we treat people, things we say or think about them. Look there to find the blockage to your illumination. That is where you will most likely discover it. Once that is removed, the light will come flooding in. Calling someone on CC a long winded bore can be an indication that your opinion about Pentecostals and Charismatics is not credible. If your theology and hermeneutic produces a willingness to talk to strangers on the internet in such a way, then you have announced to the world that your ability to discern what is of Yahweh and what isn't is not working for you.
To the word and to the testimony, if they speak not according to your word it is because their is no light in them. Careful that the light you do have is not darkness, because when that happens that darkness is great and hard to get rid of because you think it is actually light.
The condition of the heat is everything to understanding the Word of God as God intended it to be understood.
I love you and have no ill will toward you and hope that you grow mature in the Lord in all truth.
