That's not Acts 6, it's Acts 7.
Stephen did not receive the Holy Spirit again. Acts 7:55-56 is the only example of Stephen receiving the Holy Spirit because the Holy Spirit isn't received more than once.
That does not align with the parable of the ten virgins. A healing is not the same of being filled with the Holy Spirit. The power of healing comes from the Holy Spirit, but the verses you quoted don't say anything about the lame man receiving the Holy Spirit.
Where does it say filled again? Peter already had the Holy Spirit.
Speaking of bad exegesis... I totally agree, but probably not for the same reasons you have.
That's called a Red Herring and is unrelated to your suggestion that the oil is the Holy Spirit.
Acts 8:18-22 says that literally attempting to buy the Holy Spirit with money is a sin.
Revelation 3:17-19 is not about purchasing the Holy Spirit with oil. It's not even about literally purchasing anything, but if it were then those things wouldn't be sins to purchase since there is a precedent created from authority.
Jesus wouldn't use a symbolic parable instructing people to buy oil that is the Holy Spirit if literally trying to buy the Holy Spirit is a sin, which it is.
Your pretense is entirely false so your conclusion of me playing mental gymnastics doesn't even make sense to me.
I plan to do a write up later that will nail the coffin of your false doctrine shut as tight as a drum.
Lol
"""Revelation 3:17-19 is not about purchasing the Holy Spirit with oil. It's not even about literally purchasing anything, but if it were then those things wouldn't be sins to purchase since there is a precedent created from authority."""
Bingo.
It is used figuratively as "OBTAIN" OR "GET"
AHEM....show me where in rev or in mat 25 where anyone bought anything.
You are pivoting your position on " buy" which is used figuratively in both instances.
"""Jesus wouldn't use a symbolic parable instructing people to buy oil that is the Holy Spirit if literally trying to buy the Holy Spirit is a sin, which it is."""
You just made my point. He didnt
1) and yet he himself did so in a non figurative, non parable declaration. (In rev)
2) bizarre, that you would assure us of the impossibility of a metaphor in a metaphoric laden story.
Ahem...
From wiki;
"Parabola.
A parable is a succinct, didactic story, in prose or verse, that illustrates one or more instructive lessons or principles.
A parable is a type of metaphorical analogy."
"Buy" is used figuratively
No brainer.
If you do not follow a few common sense applications of meaning, you will confuse " know" where mary " knew " no man (meaning virgin)....into "she had no male friends"
Or the romans " laid hands on the apostles" will be transposed into the roman soldiers were "christians that prayed for believers."
It is reckless to just make an analogy into something ot is not.
Go back and study parables. They were intended to mislead the nonbeliever. The components have hidden meanings.
You are trying to go around what they really are.
"""Where does it say filled again? Peter already had the Holy Spirit""".
According to cessationists you get it all at salvation.
So...according to your understanding nobody in acts should have ever gotten any Holy Spirit....since they already had it and were saved.
In fact none of acts lines up with cessationists.
"""Stephen did not receive the Holy Spirit
again. Acts 7:55-56 is the only example of Stephen receiving the Holy Spirit because the Holy Spirit isn't received more than once."""
Acts 8
15 Who, when they were come down, prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Ghost:
16 (For as yet he was fallen upon none of them: only they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.)
17 Then laid they their hands on them, and they received the Holy Ghost
Huh? I thought that people got all the Holy Spirit they were ever going to get when they got saved according to cessationist.
"""That does not align with the parable of the ten virgins. A healing is not the same of being filled with the Holy Spirit. The power of healing comes from the Holy Spirit, but the verses you quoted don't say anything about the lame man receiving the Holy Spirit."""
Look again
I am saying that something went out of them and into someone else.
Healing is not some abstract matter floating in a apostle.
"Healing" is a product of God being released through the believer.
When Jesus told the disciples, "power has gone out of me who touched me."
He was not saying" Jesus came out of me"
he was not saying "healing came out of me "
he was talking about the power that came upon him in the form of a dove, the Holy Spirit, and that same power was what he told the disciples to wait in the upper room until they got the Holy Ghost, which was the same power that Jesus used.
