I care not for your opinion on why you no longer believd. I read your op when you opened this thread.
The simple reason is I am filled with the Holy Ghost with the evidence of tongues and God gives those gifts of the Spirit according to HIS WILL not ours!
What made you change YOUR mind?
No such thing as a outward sign gift. Christian walk by faith, the unseen eternal.
The father of lies would have men walk after what the eyes see the temporal .The father of lies was rebuked when he used Peter as one of antichrists that were there . (many)
But he turned, and said unto Peter, Get thee behind me, Satan: thou art an offence unto me: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but those that be of men Mathew 16: 23
You are simply adding things that are not there ,The apostles were not crucified for the sin of the world. They like us sent ones (apostles) planted the incorruptible gospel seed and water it. God alone causes growth if there is any.
The word apostle simply meaning
sent one. Not authoritative on , or one that are to be worshipped /venerated. That's as a Catholic doctrine .Men lording it over another man faith. Making the faith of Christ without effect.
No man can serve two masters. The flesh self serving and the Spirit serving the unseen God.
