Jesus appeared to Paul. Paul is the apostle to the gentiles. He was called by Jesus.
Please show me a scripture where any other person besides the ''The Emissaries Of Christ'' who were able to impart spiritual gifts to anyone.
Afterward he appeared unto the eleven as they sat at meat, and upbraided them with their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they believed not them which had seen him after he was risen. 15And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. 16He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. 17And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; 18They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.
The Ascension
(Luke 24:50-53; Acts 1:6-11)
19So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God. 20And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen.
He appeared to the eleven and told them to go....And confirming with signs following. It proves they were eye witnesses to all that Jesus did. Jesus gave them the authority, The Father gave Jesus the authority to do those things.
In the name of Jesus means, by the authority of Jesus.
How have I created a new version of the bible? I am using all the scripture to expose the truth. I am not focused in on a small amount of scripture that seems to confirm speaking in tongues.

Have a look at the miracles performed by Jesus and His Apostles. They were undeniable. Take for instance the first miracle performed by Peter in Acts 3v1.
The man was lame from his mothers womb. His legs would have been like toothpicks. So when he was healed by God, there was absolutely no question he was physically deformed to begin with and physically healed afterward.
John 5v5 Jesus performed a similar miracle on a lame man who had been sick for 38 years. Again everyone new him and new he was sick. So once healed who could deny it? No one!
Who can provide any proof of real miracles today? No one. People make all sorts of claims but I have never seen any real proof. And there is no proof the people who claim to be sick in the first place are actually sick in some way.
Anyone can make a claim about anything. But please send in a doctors certificate with confirmation of the sickness and then the same again for the healing.
I have been in churches where people say they have been healed of cancer, only later to say it's back...Hmm. I don't see that example in the bible anywhere..

Ahhh, poor little yellow wiggle, are you okay? You clicked the little virtual ''X''. Just cause it's written by me? I see you have done that a lot. Even when it is clear biblical fact. Your so weak as a person that somehow the little virtual X gives you some satisfaction in your dull life. But cheer up and take heart little wiggles, life isn't so bad, I mean you have a big jar of Vegemite, so we have that in common, cause I love Vegemite too. This ones for you wiggles. ''SMILE''

I cannot change what the word clearly says.
If you will recall God made it very clear throughout the bible that disobedience is partial obedience. The story of King Saul is a perfect example. Saul thought he knew better than God and only completed part of the command God gave concerning the Amalekites.
(1 Sam 15-22) God had a plan that required specifics be completed for its fulfillment.
It is not my intention to irritate or upset you or anyone. We are all called to share what we see. And what I have shared is what I see.
My desire is to help and learn from others not to cause strife.

there were the 70 in Luke sent out, obviously more than 12
you must be one of those if I can't find brushing your teeth in the Bible that means I should not brush my teeth
if you cannot do anything in the name of Jesus that is your problem.
if when you share the word there is nothing to indicate you speak the truth, then perhaps the truth is not in you
each believer has authority in Jesus name
by the way, you don't have to 'use' scripture to expose the truth. however, you are using scripture for your own beliefs and exposing your hard heart and blindness
LOL! gee I could not tell haha
listen dude, you are just being ignorant now. I asked you what about Paul giving instructions in Corinthians regarding tongues because you said only the disciple spoke in tongues...and that is wrong right there. I believe there were about 120 in the upper room?
and your answer regarding Paul is that you are not focused on that scripture
the emperor has no clothes
It is sad seeing a former brother in the Lord choosing foolishness over wisdom and truth …
7 Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps.
8 And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out.
9 But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.
10 And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage:
and the door was shut.
Matthew 25:

Matthew 25:
I never said only the disciples spoke in tongues. I never even used the word disciples.
I said only the ''Apostles of Christ'' and that is different to other apostles. Do a study on that alone and learn something new.
It is only the Apostles of Christ who could impart the spiritual gifts.
Read through Acts and have a look. Philip and others had spiritual gifts given by God, but they could not impart them to other people. Paul had to travel to the Romans to impart the gifts. If it could be achieved by prayer as someone else mentioned here then they would not have required Paul. Paul imparted spiritual gifts to Timothy.
Like I have said and asked so many times. Please supply me with a scripture where someone besides Christs Apostles imparted the gifts to other people.
Again look at Acts 8 Phillip was there but there was no outward sign of any spiritual gifts. It was not until Peter and John arrived that they received the gifts. That is why Simon the sorcerer wanted what they had. He saw that the gifts were given by the laying on of their hands, Peter and Johns hands. It did not happen by anyone else.
It is all there written in plain English, but I know you cannot see it. And I know it is futile that I try to show you. It will be God who teaches you, not me ever.
