There seems to be much confusion regarding signs as to their biblical purpose. Like many doctrines they seem to get one sided and lose there ability to function according to the different contexts. Many times the foundation that is found in the Old testament seems to be completely forgotten as to why the doctrine began?
Signs are used to confirm in two ways. Again some take signs no further than in the way of a sign as blessing. But a sign as a curse to represent those who believe not are endless. They seem to get ignored in favor of those who walk by sight, after the things seen using the things seen in order to confirm there very own source of faith by a action they perform..
It would seem the "law of signs" that do speak of those who rebel (1 Corinthians 14:21-22) can be used in any case. They hat are looking for a sign to represent a blessing only are quick to seek after them as if automatically eliminated so they can keep on using it as if it was a blessing.
Biblical signs follow those who are given the faith of God to believe. We don't seek after the metaphors used to describe a person has already believed. They point back to the substance. Like a sign leaving town that states: " You have just left the city limits".
The parable in Mark 16 to be bit by a serpent representing the father of lies with his false prophecy as poison is a common parable used to represent the lies of Satan. The believer will not be deceived by those poisonous lies . The same applies to the rest of the signs in Mark 16.they all point to the fact that someone has believed. to include speaking in a new tongue the gospel of Christ, prophecy. A portion that those who do seek after sign to confirm something hope applies to them as a way for them to confirm they have the evidence of the Holy Spirit.
Drinking literal poison is just plain ignorance and the rest of the same sign that confirm someone heard the gospel and believed God follows if men do not search for the spiritual meaning hid in the parable.
Its like the signs that Moses used in the exodus of Egypt as a historallly parable representing the work of the gospel leading out the born again Jews into the promised land . The believing Jew were waiting in expectation of the four hundred years trusting the word of God given to Abraham . Egypt to represent the world would have nothing to do with the God of scriptures . God sent a sign to be against them confirming their unbelief. Yet for all that their hearts remained harder than the rock of Gibraltar . The same kind of sign associated with tongues or any what some call sign gift to include baptism. No sign gifts needed for the believer. We have a promise he will not forget the good works we do offer towards His name .
Someone once said ; "If you grin you're in" . That's a sign that comes from within.
Other examples of signs used in both ways would be appreciated.
Tempted by signs as a alternate source of faith.....
John 6:30They said therefore unto him, What sign shewest thou then, that we may see, and believe thee? what dost thou work?
Christ revealing their motive …...sign as if it was a Wonder (source of faith, the unseen)
John 4:48Then said Jesus unto him, Except ye see signs and wonders, ye will not believe.
