Here's the trimmed content that was committed as a continuation of my post I've posted all the pertinent parts of scriptures from 1 Cor 12, 13, Gal 3, and Eph 4. Look closely at the similarity of words used and phraseology and piece those similar words and phrases together to get their meaning...

Here's my take on "when that which is perfect", which CANNOT be Jesus since he isn't a "that". I previously posted this as part of a short study on spiritual gifts. REPOST The subject of spiritual gifts is difficult to understand, hence very controversial, and equally difficult to unravel...

Where are you taking this from? What scripture or scriptures are you referring to as "the" tribulation as though it was defined therein as a specific one?

First of all, you must study the scriptures carefully to understand the nature of the falling of the Holy Ghost and who it fell on, how and when. It was promised as the power from on high to the 11 apostles in Luke 24:49 as well as mentioned earlier by John the Baptist in Luke 3:16 and Matt...

Yes. They were all refers to the 11 apostles. Follow the scripture back to its origin to correctly see who "they" refers to. Go back to the Lord's words and direction to them in Luke 24:49 where Jesus told the 11 to tarry in Jerusalem until they received power from on high. Follow that thru to...

Don't mistake receiving the Spirit itself (Acts 2:38) with the physical, miraculous manifestations of the Spirit (commonly referred to as gifts) which required the laying on of the apostle's hands in order to enable their manifistasion

We need not ask for the Spirit as it's given freely of God to those who are baptized into the body of Christ. Acts 2:38

Baptism, immersion in water, into the body of Christ. By doing so, your sins are forgiven, washed away, you become a child of God and a Christian.

Upon the first day of the week the disciples came together to break bread. That's not an option; they met as the body of Christ, which is the church, to remember the Lord and partake of the Lord's supper in his remembrance. They physically came together (Acts 20:7). And too, Hebrews 10:25 states...

I've not misread nor misunderstood the Hebrews letter. It is possible to lose your salvation such as when you denounce Christ after having been enlightened and saved as the Hebrew letter clearly indicates.

You can lose your salvation for sure. Just read the Hebrew letter and the warnings contained therein to the recently converted Hebrews. It also says that it is impossible to renew such a backsliding person to repentance again. Hebrews 6:4-6 4For it is impossible for those who were once...

Baptisms, immersion in water, are valid predicated upon belief in Jesus Christ and admission or confirmation of that belief by the one being baptized, without any words being recited by the one performing the baptism. As I pointed out in my response above, there are no biblical records of...

"In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost" really means 'by the authority of' as does "in the name of Jesus Christ". And, when you carefully study the various conversions as recorded in the book of Acts, you'll see that no one said either phrase prior to a believer's...

Faith, hope, and love are the Spiritual gifts nor those in question. The ones in question, manifestations of the Spirit, are those listed in 1Cor 12:8-10

Why would it change and not be applicable today? The gifts, manifistasltions of the Spirit, were needed to grow and edify the esrly church. Not so today which is why they ceased in accordance with 1 Cor 13:8. And, they were manifested in biblical times by the laying on of the apostle's hands...

It's not me you're claiming to be wrong, but rather the word of God. 1 Peter 3:21 The like figure whereunto even baptism doth also now save us (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God,) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ:

Your statement is not consistent with scripture, which clearly tells you when you receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. It can't get any plainer. Acts 2:38 38Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall...

It's simple and not complicated at all. The "church", from a biblical perspective, is the body of Christ. Those believers who are baptized, are added to the body by the Lord (Acts 2:47). It's obvious also when reading the NT, that local. autonomous, churches were established at various...

You, your logic, makes no sense scripturally. There is one baptism, and that's by immersion in water for the forgiveness of sins. That's what the scriptures say, and consistently teach. You can't be saved while still in sin, and the way sin is removed is by baptism into Christ for their...
