Ok, Precious friend,
benefit of the doubt, here:
Thank you for the benefit of the doubt, but I think you have a presupposition about " that which is perfect" the word "Immediately " is not to be seen only with verse 10. the context continues in the remaining chapter and of chapter 14. So to make an absolute statement about 1cor 13:8-10 without the remaining unit chapters would be improper. If we continue as in verses 11-13 we see
When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.
Is Paul speaking of the Gifts of the Holy Spirt as childish things? I think not. in 1cor 13 Paul is saying to use the gifts in Love and not be childish in the action of the manifestation but in the context of edification, comfort, and building up. In chapter 14 verse one Paul continues from chapter 13 as he says in verse one:
Follow after charity, and desire spiritual gifts, but rather that ye may prophesy.
and nowhere does he even suggest they will stop or have stopped.
When Paul "penned/recorded his
Last Word Inspired Of God,"
That Which Is PERFECT
Had Come, And, IMMEDIATELY, "That Which Was In Part Was DONE Away!" Correct?
+
Let's Also double check all
Imperfect versions today, and see IF
Most agree with the
Imperfect{?} KJV, With The Following Related / Profitable Doctrine Of God:
There is
ONE Baptism! (Eph 4:5) Yes, seems ALL
parallel versions
agree with ONE!
Meaning there are NOT
TWO {or More} baptismS, Today, for the Body of Christ,
Under
God's GRACE! Correct? So, WHICH
ONE is it?:
Under God's
Context of Prophecy And The Law:
(1)
water baptism? or:
(2)
your proposal of "He
{Christ} will Baptize you
WITH The Holy Ghost for
POWER, SIGNS, MIRACLES, And WONDERS..." = one version says "
in"
This baptism Has
CHRIST Acting As "The Administrator," Pouring Out
The Holy Spirit Upon the believer, As
The Recipient, Correct?
or:
(3) In
God's Context, Under GRACE {with infirmities}, To Paul:
"For BY One Spirit are we all Baptized Into One Body..." (1Co 12:13) =
some have "
in"
This Baptism Has The Holy Spirit As "The Administrator," Translating the believer
{spiritually}
Into CHRIST, As The Recipient! Correct, Precious friend?
Further
Biblical Confirmation of "believers,
Under GRACE, Today,
WITH infirmities, And tribulations, etc.":
{ From FULL "study" of GRACE Word for infirmities }:
After Paul (our
#"pattern"# for Today!), prayed 3 times
for
his affliction, the
"Answer he Received," According To The
Scriptures, Was:
"And HE {CHRIST} Said Unto me, MY GRACE Is Sufficient For
thee: For MY Strength Is Made Perfect in weakness. Most gladly
therefore will I rather glory {cp}
in my infirmities, that The
Power Of CHRIST May Rest Upon me!"
(2_Corinthians_12:9 KJB!) {cp 2_Corinthians_11:23-30
KJB!}
--------------------------------------
So, the OP question:
Does it make a Difference?
Glorying And boasting about YOU
Being GIVEN The Holy Spirit
POWER of healings, miracles, signs, And wonders?
Or:
Glorying And Boasting In
The POWER Of CHRIST Upon you,
in infirmities, tribulation, And SUFFERING?:
"For unto you It Is Given in the Behalf Of CHRIST, not only
to believe on HIM, But Also to suffer for HIS Sake"
(Philippians_1:29
KJB!)
-------------------------------------------------------------------
PS: follow the TWELVE, Under Prophecy/Law? OR:
In God's Revelation Of The MYSTERY, Under GRACE?:
# “Those things, which ye have both learned, and
received, and heard, and seen in me, [Paul!] do: # And
The God Of PEACE Shall Be With you.”
(Philippians_4:9
KJB!)
Precious friend,
Please Be Very Richly Blessed! + "Bring Glory To God!! Amen.
