God has taught me rather thoroughly on the topic of authority. More than enough to start a thread on the subject. I'd thought about just sharing here how my training started in earnest. But then I realized it started immediately after that 1-1/2 year battle with fear and the associated torment...

I just chose this one but am replying to all three. It's nice to see the supportive nature of all three posts. Supportive of your wife. Supportive of my relationship with my wife. Supportive of successful marriages everywhere, with an intentional effort to not be overly pushy. :) In our...

Now somebody else share a testimony of God's goodness so I can read instead of typing... lol. :)

So many stories to tell. (true stories). Years ago I picked up a hitchhiker on the edge of Illinois and gave him a ride to Omaha, NE . It was a 5-hr trip and he was a captive audience. So I thought "I wonder if I could briefly tell him about all the things God has done for me...seeing...

My apologies to the site if I wasn't supposed to post personal pics in this area. I was only providing supporting evidence of my claims that God answers prayer (of various kinds)...and of course bragging a bit on the prettiness of my wifey. :) Love in Jesus, Kelby

And here's a dorky already-fasting-myself-towards-oblivion Kelby just after getting married to said blonde about 6 months prior to the big pic. Just for reference...and just because I love that pic of her. Love in Jesus, Kelby

Oooops.. that was big.

I normally don't share pics on here or most anywhere else, but here's a pic of my "Short, pretty blonde with two kids that thinks I'm special" (taken about 6 months after our marriage as part of a free photo shoot she'd won in a drawing. poorly copied from the 16"x20" canvas print) from 30+...

Actually I don't remember if it was just before or just after posting that I read Lafftur's post. I just know it was after I'd WRITTEN my post because I copy/pasted it in for time and space. Just an FYI for any scrutinizers. Love in Jesus, Kelby

I also really like the cat pic that Sophie posted (and will share it with my daughter as soon as she replies to my text claiming I've found proof that the world is round). But I'm pretty sure I'm on Sophie's ignore list so she might not see the appreciation. Which gives me an opportunity to...

And I absolutely LOOOOOVED hearing someone (you specifically) give a full answer of Acts 2:38-39 in regards to what is needed for salvation. I didnt see your posting until after I'd posted that testimony (or I'd have Winner-ribboned it sooner). Glad my brief testimony stands in confirmation...

On that last day, as we drove from our small town to the next, I noticed that one of the girls was not in her car seat so I began to pull over to stop and hook her in. Wifey said “We’re almost there. Just keep going.” and I pulled back onto the road to keep going. But my conscience was...

Since this is a thread about the value of tongues, I'll get back to sharing testimony of the benefits of speaking in tongues...which is speaking to God, not man, per I Corinthians 14:2... which means tongues is a form of PRAYER per 1 Corinthians 14:14. So I'll share how I'd used tongues in...

I think it is @Gardenias who was "ignoring" people and I THINK I'm on that list per post #1411 but Gardenias seemed to address Paul then me then Paul without clear distinctions. But I agree that the "alphabet soup" (as my wife calls it) seemed to explode upon the scene suddenly and FEW handled...

The answer was at the end of the post. Summarized: I believe we have a responsibility to contribute to our own growth in the spirit along side our responsibility to crucify the flesh. Prayer in the Spirit (tongues) contributes to both. My apologies for answering it last. I would not have...

I'll answer the last two questions first, just because they're easier to get out of the way. (and probably a bit more fun) Then I'll answer about "edifies himself". Because: I consider you a Human on this earth and subject to 1 John 3:2 and 1 Corinthians 13:12 (just like the rest of...

I was not absolving any person of any of their sins... I was pointing out (in line with your statement that "Grace makes no distinction of sins") that your sins and my sins are no shinier in the eyes of God than theirs. It's a call to acknowledgement of how vile our own PERSONAL sins...

My favorite 'canned prayer' on that topic (and not one that I can claim authorship of): "God teach me to forgive those who sin differently than what I do." Love in Jesus, Kelby

I'm not sure that it is as much "fake tongues" as it is "using tongues at an inappropriate time, or in a way that isn't beneficial to others, or along side of innappropriate fleshly behavior, or promoting mis-use as something Godly". But if you're talking about fake healings, false prophecies...

I agree with the idea that we CANNOT be justified by the works of the law or even sincere attempt to keep the law. In short, miracles, prophesying, healings, etc. are simply a part of walking in Christ. They are not means to a personal end...except in that they benefit the well-being of the...
