Of the detailed accounts, Acts 19:1-7 specifically debunks the idea that speaking in tongues was just a sign for the Jews.
This I have already mentioned in my post. It was for the disciples of John the Baptist. Which knew only the baptism of John the Baptist.

The Holy Spirit of God was introduced in an Official way known as the era Paul defined to all of us as the Gentile Reign. It's a period of time dedicated to ALL of humanity to be welcomed by God, not just to the Hebrew/Jews as it was for roughly 2,500 years. But the Gentile Reign, highlighted by the Holy Spirit of God, demonstrates the full essence including Gifts and Fruits of the Holy Spirit.

The entire package of Fruits of the Holy Spirit are still in complete array and so are the Gifts. And the Bible claims they will not end before the Gentile Reign ends or when the Perfect has Come. Which will be the moment the Church is Raptured by the Perfect to Come Himself.
The Church is God gathering the Bride for His Son.
Bride to reign with Him throughout eternity.

The Jews had a priesthood on earth.
But, not the Church!
Peter says that we are a Royal Priesthood!
Not just a priesthood on earth!

We have been called into Royalty.
Royalty to be reigning with the King of Kings.

But you are a chosen people, a Royal Priesthood, a holy nation,
God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of him
who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light. 1 Peter 2:9​


And, you guys just want to keep arguing, over and over, about the same old petty stuff?
When there is so much more to learn about?

grace and truth...

Nothing to argue about because we're CURRENTLY still in the Gentile Reign. It HAS NOT ended yet. The HOLY SPIRIT is still the focus because of the Gospel. Therefore what was started HAS NEVER ended and WILL NOT end until the Rapture.

That means the Fruits and Gifts of the Holy Spirit haven't changed nor ended because we're still in the same period it began in.

op: slain in the spirit?

Should not that be "slain in the flesh"? ie:

) "...I am crucified with Christ...: (Galatians 2:20 AV)

) "...I die daily..." (1 Corinthians 15:31 AV)

) "...I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection..." (1 Corinthians 9:27 AV)
"slaying the FLESH", Correct?​
If there is such a 'concept' of "a SLAIN spirit", then it Would Be The Opposite Of:

This Scripture, Correct?:

"To deliver such an one unto Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that​
the spirit may be SAVED in The Day of the Lord Jesus." (1 Corinthians 5:5 AV)
Thus, "the spirit that is SLAIN" = Not Saved, But Receives Eternal Condemnation In
The Lake Of Fire
(Rev 20:15 AV) Correct?

Why should any saint "...be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another,
envying one another..."?

Is "walking in The Spirit" the same as "by sight"? ie: "emotions, feelings,
experiences, dreams, visions, NDE's, sensational signs and wonders, etc, etc, etc"?
OR:

"What Saith [ God In His PURE and HOLY WORD Of ] The Scriptures?"
To Today's Body Of Christ, who should all be "walking in The Spirit"?:

"...we walk By faith and NOT by sight..." (2 Corinthians 5:7)​

So, precious friends, which is it? Can't be BOTH, Correct?

Should we not rather focus more on "loving our neighbor, fulfilling All the law in
ONE Word LOVE" (Romans 8:10-13; Galatians 5:14 AV), By Zeroing In On:

"The Fruit Of The Spirit":

"...The Fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long-suffering, gentleness,​
goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.​
And they that are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.​
If we live in The Spirit, let us also walk in The Spirit. Let us not be desirous of​
vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another." (Galatians 5:22-26 AV)​
Therefore, focusing LESS / stopping all the disagreement, arguing, and bickering about something not Found In Scripture, Disapproved Unto God, with NO "Honor/Glory To Him"?

Amen:

Study Rightly Divided.png

And, avoiding Disapproval by further Focusing More On "studying God's Word Of Truth, Rightly
Divided", and Then: Obeying
Ephesians 3:9 AV, eh?:

Basic Distinctions (14 +) Of Prophecy vs Mystery!
+
[ Update/Additions #’s: (19) (20) (21) (22) (23) (24) ]

"Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all To The Glory Of God."​
(1 Corinthians 10:31 AV)​
Amen.

That's it?
