Precious friend, sorry about the Misunderstanding; I am
not against the
beautiful and very precious gifts from God. In fact, I just saw/heard a news
reporter on FOX, in Ukraine, who could "speak in tongues" - in SIX Different
languages. I believe he "studied and learned" them, because he could do
"his reporting job" better in Many Different countries. "Talent from God"?
Similar to this is my "belief about
water baptism": I am
not against it,
as "it
is in The Bible." I simply point out that the
right Question is not
being asked
And Biblically answered, in order to solve
All the Confusion
about it. In addition,
God Gave us "math," Correct? So, IF
HE Said "There
Is Only ONE Baptism, Today, Under GRACE, Then WHY do so many "believe
in
TWO"? Can that
kind of "math" possibly be correct?
Am I really "speaking
against"
God, His baptisms, And His Creation of
"math," by asking questions?
So, I don't think that talented people "speaking in tongues" is the same
thing as God's "
gift of tongues" as a supernatural empowerment to get
His Word to Different groups in their own language, as God Clearly
Demonstrated in Act 2.
Further, I believe I was asking about "ALL THREE
gifts" in the
Bible. I
hear much about "the tongues AND prophecy," but Very Little about
"the word of knowledge." Is it not also "beautiful and very precious"?
If we're going to do two, shouldn't we do ALL three, that are
"beautiful and very precious gifts from God"? I do
Not hear
anybody,
Under God's GRACE, Today, say "That God Has Given"
anybody, the gift He "Gave Peter" as Clearly seen in
Acts 5:1-11, the gift of "the word of knowledge," Correct?:
1) IF the beautiful and very precious gift of "the word of knowledge"
is, in fact, in
effect Today, Under GRACE, Then are not Many "going to
be in trouble," NOT obeying Christ, selling ALL they have, giving it
to "an apostolic successor" of Peter, with Peter's "keys to remit OR
Retain sins," going to "be dead," like Ananias and Sapphira?
Others who have NOT "sold everything" (
As CHRIST Commanded), are
really "quick to judge me" that I don't "love Christ," because I do NOT obey
"ALL His Commandments,"
As HE Clearly Commanded In Matthew 28:19-20,
Correct?
2) So, IF "this gift" is NOT "in effect" today, then should we "find out"
From God, "Why Not"? And, HE Is the One who "combined All THREE
Together in 1 Corinthians 13:8-10, Correct?
Thus, (done my Best to ask
again) just the same
Serious question for
prayerful/Careful
Consideration of
ALL diligent
BIBLE students:
"When
That Which Is PERFECT Is Come, then that
which is in part (THREE
gifts v. 8) shall be done away." (
1Co 13:10)
IF
God's Pure and HOLY Word Of Truth Is NOT
PERFECT, THEN, please pray tell:
What is
IT? IF it is IMperfect, then how can I (or anyone else)
Trust IT,
Or The Almighty God, WHO Gave IT to us? Why would God
"MAGNIFY..."
an IMperfect word
"...ABOVE All Of His HOLY Name!" (
Psalms 138:2)
Would not evading and Not answering this important question be like
"speaking against"
God's PERFECT Word, and His Holy Name?
Precious friend, just wondering, and I apologize if I am asking the
wrong questions, or not "wording them" correctly?
GRACE And Peace...
