    TONGUES is a precious gift from God

    I was a total sinner, and then I put my full trust in what Jesus did for me on the Cross. He took the guilt and punishment for my sin from me and exchanged it for His pure righteousness, so that now I can stand before God and fellowship with Him without any shame, fear or guilt. Although the...

    Gift of Healing

    If a man named Doug is holding a shovel, and you take it away from him, should he be called Dougless now? :-)

    TONGUES is a precious gift from God

    Okay... So, if an LGBT person asked you how he or she can be saved, what are you going to say?

    what are your thoughts of Apostle Kathryn Krick

    The bottom line is that anyone can call themselves whatever they please. If people call themselves apostles, then they need to be seen to be fulfilling that role. But that is not for us to judge. There is a day of Judgment coming, and we all have to stand before Christ and give our own...

    TONGUES is a precious gift from God

    Wow! That really does show what God thinks of "holier than thou" people. It does right along with God resisting the proud ("Holier than thou), but giving grace to the humble. A number of years ago, I got a toasted sandwich at a late-night food kiosk. While I was eating it I got into a...

    TONGUES is a precious gift from God

    Whatever... I never said that God is okay with LGBT people. References in Romans make it clear that LGBT behaviour is an abomination to God. But it is not the unforgiveable sin. The Scripture says that all manner of sin and iniquity shall be forgiven of God. So LGBT conduct is just...

    TONGUES is a precious gift from God

    Seeing that the Anglican church has been mentioned in connection with allowing LGBT people as members, I need to say that there is a difference between allowing LGBT folk to participate in the church services in order for them to hear the Gospel along with the other sinners who come along, and...

    TONGUES is a precious gift from God

    Here is the whole reference in context: "14 Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? 15 And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an...

    What religion are you talking about here? What has a sexually perverted religion got to do with the gift of tongues?

    TONGUES is a precious gift from God

    I attached my research Ebook on the healing ministry, but it doesn't seem to work for me when I clicked on it to test. For those interested, PM me and I will see if attaching the file works there.

    TONGUES is a precious gift from God

    Why don't you follow my example and do a comprehensive research study on healing - through Scripture, historical accounts of healing, current practice through the whole range of authors from the start of the 20th Century onwards? Much better than quoting a couple of random verses out of context...

    TONGUES is a precious gift from God

    My view of prophetic words is that they are not Holy Scripture. A prophetic word may reflect what God may want to happen, and what He plans to take place in the future. Isaiah is a good example of this. One always has to be careful of predictive prophecies. Often a prophetic word may...

    TONGUES is a precious gift from God

    When I decided to make divine healing as my research dissertation for my M.Div, I went to my favourite Christian second hand book shop and bought up books by every author I could find on divine healing. As a result I compiled a comprehensive collection of books dealing with the good, bad and...

    TONGUES is a precious gift from God

    In the real world, godly believers who have prayed for healing in the name of Jesus, fully believing that it is God's will to heal, have not been healed. Yes. Healing is part of the atonement, but not every saved person gets healed, so there has to be another explanation of how that works...

    TONGUES is a precious gift from God

    It seems that what you are saying is that everyone who comes to God and asks for healing in the Name of Jesus should get immediately healed of whatever medical condition they have. But is that happening? No. So there seems to be a contradiction between what you are asserting, and what is...

    TONGUES is a precious gift from God

    There is nothing in the New Testament that promises miracles from God on demand. The definitive Scripture that settles the issues is Philippians 4:6-7: "Be not anxious for anything, but by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, make your requests known to God, and the peace of God that...

    TONGUES is a precious gift from God

    It goes right along with the Scripture that says that those who live godly lives in Christ will experience persecution. (2 Timothy 3:12).

    TONGUES is a precious gift from God

    The one thing to bear in mind are the many people who will read your post and be encouraged in the Lord by your testimony. Ignorant people will remain ignorant no matter what you say. Isaiah spent over 60 years preaching God's Word to a disobedient, obstinate people, and when he asked the Lord...

    It The church where I served under the strict pastor was The Open Door Mission in Palmerston North, New Zealand (1970-73). The larger church where I was on the leadership team was The Christian Centre in Palmerston North (1973-1979). I also served in NZ Teen Challenge (1970-76), and The...
