Be very careful there,I am not sure you are aware that Charles Parham the man whom most claim who is the father of the modern Pentecostalism during the time he founded his theology was a member of the KKK and the Freemason's. His wife Sarah made the statement that it wasn't till some time after Azusa street that he quit the Mason's. So the question is then how deep was his roots in the Mason's? That is an unknown but there are ties. It is known on one of his trips in 1928 he brought back a gavel from Israel and presented it to one of the lodges in Topeka,KS.
And CI Scofield was a drunk and rapist and served time in federal prison, so what is your point?

Sorry Rick,

The Bible quite clearly says they will cease.

1 Corinthians 13

8 Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away.9 For we know in part and we prophesy in part, 10 but when completeness comes, what is in part disappears. 11 When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put the ways of childhood behind me. 12 For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.

The question has been and will continue to be when?
These threads are like watching re-runs of Gilligan's Island..........Fake investigation, quoting untrustworthy sites, false doctrine, false accusations, condemnation & judgements....... just a lot of arguing & poison. Is this all you guys can do, going in circles over & over again? You could at least rewrite the script every once in a while. I give you 11 out of 10 for the most unauthoritative
performance.

And the other question that gets left out is Christ still in the center of all of this or did He get left on the wayside and people are seeking for the stuff God can give us and NOT Christ? Has He become more then a Santa Claus? Is He still the Way the Truth and Life? Is He still the good shepherd? Is He still the straight and narrow gate? Is He still the bread of life? Or has the focus shifted off of Him? Remember the Holy Spirit's work is to testify about Jesus and to convict the world of sin.
Sarah,
Was Jesus anointed with the Holy Ghost?

Did Jesus operate on earth the way did because he was divine or endued? or both

DID/DOES Jesus have some sort of unattainable secret power we will never have?

Did Jesus ever say we would do the same works he did?

Was Jesus a human man?

2.) Parham was wrong about the meaning of the revival, he was wrong about the purported use that he thought it was for. - Spreading the gospel through tongues because he thought the time of the end was near, but this misinterpretation doesn't nullify the gift. The gifts of the Holy Spirit never stopped
wait.....so you're saying Parham's notion that tongues were known languages was wrong?
in reality, tongues was always unknown sounds?

it was never real languages?

and what do you mean he "was wrong about the meaning of the revival"?

revival of what? you said the gifts never ceased - so revival of what?

so you mean Parham was wrong about the real gift - which was always the unknown noises tongues (ecstatic utterings) that nobody understands thing?

where did he get the idea tongues in The Acts of The Apostles was actual languages (in the nations in which we were born)?

did anyone else hold that erroneous idea through church history (tongues in The Acts of The Apostles was actual languages)?

so why was the early movement confused at all, about any of it...if....uh.....um.....:confused:

okay...focused.

Parham was wrong - about what the revival was for?

if the revival wasn't about, or any revival, isn't about "Spreading the gospel [through tongues]" (languages people can understand)...then what is revival for?

exactly what is being revived? the gifts? or the Gospel?

what are tongues for TODAY?

pentecostalism & charismatic renewal are the last 2 true movements before the judgment?

where are there said to be 2 movements (in the last days before the judgement)? where?
The reformation is a movement. Where is it said there would be a reformation from catholicism? Where?

Honestly Zone, do you want to go through it point by point?
Well then O.K. - I'm Red.

wait.....so you're saying Parham's notion that tongues were known languages was wrong?(Not at all, he thought they were unknown languages of peoples, ethnicities and nations)
in reality, tongues was always unknown sounds? (How can languages be unknown sounds?)

it was never real languages?(How did you arrive at that? Have you ever heard languages that seemed foreign but yet were coherent?)

and what do you mean he "was wrong about the meaning of the revival"?(He thought it was for reaching the nations for the gospel by speaking the gospel in their native language)

revival of what? you said the gifts never ceased - so revival of what? (Are you dead yet Zone? So you don't ever need a revival, be honest.)

so you mean Parham was wrong about the real gift - which was always the unknown noises tongues (ecstatic utterings) that nobody understands thing?( Not at all, you add to the report as a vulture swoops down onto roadkill)
(Nice additions to the train of thought B.T.W. - a true birdlike quality)

where did he get the idea tongues in The Acts of The Apostles was actual languages in the nations where we were born? (In the nations where we were born? Who said 'WE'? Have you read Acts chapters 2&3?)

did anyone else hold that erroneous idea through church history (tongues in The Acts of The Apostles was actual languages)? (Well, the mixed multitude that had came for the feast wondered why some crazy people prophesied in their own language)

so why was the early movement confused at all, about any of it...if....uh.....um.....:confused:
It wasn't.

no, i think she was asking, and cessationists have asked before, for that specific phrase Baptism of the Holy Ghost (or Spirit).

it's not there.

in any case, this is what that was about:

Luke 1
1In my former book, Theophilus, I wrote about all that Jesus began to do and to teach 2until the day he was taken up to heaven, after giving instructions through the Holy Spirit to the apostles he had chosen. 3After his suffering, he presented himself to them and gave many convincing proofs that he was alive. He appeared to them over a period of forty days and spoke about the kingdom of God. 4On one occasion, while he was eating with them, he gave them this command: “Do not leave Jerusalem, but wait for the gift my Father promised, which you have heard me speak about. 5For John baptized witha water, but in a few days you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.”

6Then they gathered around him and asked him, “Lord, are you at this time going to restore the kingdom to Israel?”

7He said to them: “It is not for you to know the times or dates the Father has set by his own authority. 8But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”

9After he said this, he was taken up before their very eyes, and a cloud hid him from their sight.


that was about them.
for reasons the bible makes clear repeatedly.

His witnesses. called in person and chosen for that purpose.

anyway.
Gee, the whole Book of concord wasn't in there, either. Whatever are we going to do?:rolleyes:

um...i never claimed the reformation was spelled out in scripture.

but you said:

"these are the last 2 true movements before the judgment"

sorry - is this just your opinion?
i thought you were making an authoritative scripturally backed statement.
before the judgment was part of what threw me i guess....plus the word true.

okay...just your opinion then. t.y.

It wasn't.
use the quote feature - otherwise i won't be bothered.

see what i have to work with when i hit quote? nothing.

please don't just type your stuff into mine - this is problematic enough.

...

wait.....so you're saying Parham's notion that tongues were known languages was wrong?

(Not at all, he thought they were unknown languages of peoples, ethnicities and nations)

OH MY.....

ME: so you're saying Parham's notion that tongues were known languages was wrong

YOU: Not at all, he thought they were unknown languages of peoples, ethnicities and nations

restated:

PARHAM WAS WRONG BECAUSE: he thought tongues were the as yet (to the westerners) unknown languages of peoples, ethnicities and nations whom they had not reached....right:confused:

OR WAS HE RIGHT ABOUT THAT.

he was just WRONG about what the TONGUES were for....

again - if tongues are not for spreading the gospel - what are they FOR.

NEW QUESTION:

when you speak in tongues, Rick - are you speaking an actual language of real peoples, ethnicities and nations

This thread has gone exactly where I stated it was going to go and the thread starter is still not convinced, gee go figure.

Zone,
I am sure you have all you need to go back to the next potluck at the Synod and get appropriately canonized for deftly defeating all those continuance heathens, your motive was clear through out the thread and it only seeks to pet your personal pride, ego and beliefs all at the expense of making others with a differing viewpoint look glib and foolish.

One thing that has not ceased and continues to this day and you deftly proved it all along and that is the Spirit of Pharisee is alive and well.

So you will have to read then. Pity.
Especially between red and black,-so hard.
I'm not going to re-answer your objections.

dont take part in this thread if you can not defend your claims. no history from you...nothing.

start your own thread please.

you already hinted at a heresy on this thread, if not outright - not surprising.

youre on my ignore list.
