Poor brother Dave. I have never seen so many red marks on one man before.

Sometimes things just turn to :poop: on ya.:confused:

The Comforted is come, my much beloved brother, and is available to whosoever will... PTL!
All believers have the Holy Spirit. The Baptism of the Holy Spirit ended with the Apostles who imparted it beyond the two outpourings. Be careful you do not add to scripture.

If you don't know your Bible and believe in miricales you may not get them...for it takes faith in Christ...the gifts still exist and there is still the Baptism of the HS it just may not be visible all the time...and not all may get it like others....for if you are crazy and come up with cessationism...which makes no sense anyway....the way P/C does things may no be right either
Find one example where the baptism of the Holy SPirit came in a way besides the two outpourings or through an Apostle's hands.

The whole Bible is understandable now...there is nothing hid


I am glad that you have obtained perfection and understanding in all.
I have to disagree on that account for there are many divisions and lack of understanding of the word of God among the brethern.
I know not more than a child in His word yet I have been studying it more than 45 yrs.
Every time I study and pray before I study the Holy Spirit teaches me something new for my soul.
There is much wisdom in the word and lessons of life for us to learn,several prophetic books are still shrouded in mystery.
That is why we are commanded to study to show ourselves approved of God!

Please give scriptures to support your boast!
I am baptized with the Holy Spirit as on the day of Pentecost.
I have prayed in tongues,not at my will but as the Spirit saw fit to speak to God on my behalf.
I believe the whole word and at the moment I believe the Holy Spirit is all that is holding back satan.2 Thess.2:7 For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only be who now letteth will let,until he be taken out of the way.
Jude20 But ye beloved,building up YOURSELVES on your most holy faith,praying in the Holy Ghost.
Rms.8:26 Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for ye know not what ye shall pray for as we ought: BUT THE SPIRIT itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. V27 also

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?
Whatever is not of faith is sin. Faith comes from hearing the Word of God. Are you sinning if you don't have scripture to support your beliefs?

You Said oN Pentacost God babtized 12 apostle

Who are there

1 you forget Judas not with them anymore so It was only 11

2. Peter say God Will poor or baptized with Holy spirit to all flesh, not only apostle.

17 And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams:
18 And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy:
"..... And in those days thou shalt encounter the mental, who cunningly change my bible and claim i am dead and they are dead right"
(Double dead believers)

I have never seen a charismatic obcess over and attack baptists.
But tons of baptists are offended by the notion God is still alive and is the same yesterday,today,and forever.

The question I would ask is. Will you look to the foundation of the doctrine of Tongues found in Isaiah 28 , reflected as the law spoken of in 1 Corinthians 14: 22-23?

Or is the foundation not necessary to develop the doctrine? Just make a noise and fall backward. . .and therefore edify oneself as a sign with a lying wonder.

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.

I have many times in this thread. See my first response up the OP for an example.
most pentecostal / full gospel churches are no longer moving in the gifts.

Only a handful are still carrying on.

So sad compared to when i got saved and later recieved the baptism in the Holy Spirit. That was in 1977 during the charismatic movement. What a feast it was. I will never forget it.

One of the ways we know we are (in the way,or on track) is being with God,experiencing the power, and then seeing that power and awesome lovely Spirit CONFIRMED in the bible.

Wow. That is awesome

What then was with the believers before 1901? Because your teaching was not before. In australia f.e. then no believer was found before 1908. Because the first person received the baptism with the Holy Spirit in 1908. All others then are wrong? No real believers ?

There were people exercising spiritual gifts before 1901. Just studying the period just prior to it there was speaking in tongues- just one of the gifts. There are many more accounts of healing.
