Cessationism vs. continuationism...does it make any difference?

He missed out the one where it says that the Lord hangs the earth on nothing, and the other one that talks about the circle of the earth.

the guy just wants to argue and have two horse races where he says and he says and he says and so on ad nauseum.

Give it up. We won't play your game.

hmm, not my first rodeo, and it's ok he did not trap me, he just exposed himself

The point is, if we dwell on sin, we are more proned to sin. If we dwell on the righteousness of Christ that is OURS, we are better off.

Philippians 4:19
English Standard Version
And my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.

So what I am hearing is that the academic didn't need to eye witness or experience first hand miracles to find faith in Christ. This is a perfect post for this thread!!

We are all sinners, the old nature still resides with the new in a regenerated person, born again, 2nd birth? And our sin and which one we coddle? And how much we do and don’t seek forgiveness for the battle going on within us? We neuter the Holy Spirit’s ability to work through us/in us or shine through us/in us, but we all sin and fall short of the glory of God.

Hahaha, and so humble is the panda, or is that a rat? Opossum?

...well, if you want to go there? It is a thing that starts in the heart through the eyes long before any clothing hits the floor aaaaand sooooo........your not one too?-)

Kick the other guy? Do you realize that always happens from the charismatic’s side 1st, in having a 2 tier christianity of those who have not and those who have the 2nd blessing? Ease up there partner and start by cleaning up your household you protecting 1st!-)

I believe they are given 'as the Spirit wills' just like they were in the Bible. As for whether the frequency is the same, that is up to God.

Yes.

The Bible says, "My God shall supply all your needs...."

Did you point and laugh??? Hahahahahahahaha!

He showed me that He doesn't always have to give me a hand-out when I need money. If I have skills and am available to get a job and work for my living, He will provide one.

Of course, now that I am retired and live on superannuation, I guess I get a hand-out from the Government every fortnight!

My situation was similar. I'd just finished my formal education. I had a wife and children. We'd asked for a lease renewal but our landlord had let us go onto a month to month. Then they were going to sell the unit mid-semester. We needed money to get off the island we lived on. I did not have a job yet, and our little business made a little money every once in a while. So we definitely had a need.

I asked for a specific amount of money, and an hour or so later, someone gave me that same amount.

The Holy Spirit uses all sorts of ways to bring a person to faith in Christ. I didn't need to see any miracles to make me believe the Gospel. I just knew that I needed to get right with God and when I was shown the Gospel Scriptures I believed them and received Christ as my Saviour.

People in western countries have been corrupted by Plato and Aristotle, who believed that something is real only if I can be empirically proved by science. Therefore, something that cannot be proved by science is not real. So if someone says that they have been healed as the result of a miracle, people steeped in Aristotle philosophy would say it is fake, not real, and didn't really happen.

But people in third world countries in Asia and Africa have no problem with the supernatural, because they see it often in their pagan temples. The supernatural is real to them because they are not corrupted by Aristotle philosophy. Therefore when the Holy Spirit miraculously heals someone, they know that the power of God is greater than the power of their pagan idols, and this causes them to receive Christ.

Here is the full context of the phrase you quoted:
"Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality,[c] 10 nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. 11 And such were some of you. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God" (1 Corinthians 6:9-11).
What this means in that when someone is washed and sanctified, they no longer do the things on the list. If they continued doing those things, it would show that their conversion to Christ is not real.

My "household" if you want to call it is a small church with six elderly ladies and one gentleman. It it not Charismatic, and I would guess that the ladies wouldn't know what the word actually means!

So who says that the baptism with the Spirit is a 2nd blessing? Not the Bible unless you can show me the reference to it. The Bible tells me that it is true conversion to Christ and the evidence is a total transformation of heart and spirit.

Whatever Grizzly Adams, you won't be here long. Not gonna waste more breath. We've seen your kind come and go.

An amazing testimony. He is not limited in how He provides for our needs. When I finished university and teachers college I had no savings, so I never had any hope of owning my own home or having a reliable motor vehicle when I started my teaching career. Then I met the person who has been my wife of 30 years. She had her own home and money in the bank left to her by her previous husband who died of cancer three years before. The upshot is that ever since we have owned our own home, mortgage free for the last 10 years, and money in the bank for emergencies. I give the glory to God in the way He provided for me. He also provided for her by giving her a new lease of life with a husband and child.
