Is there a difference between the 12 & the rest? Yes, but that doesnt cancel out the others. Eph 4: 11 And He gave some as apostles, some as prophets, some as evangelists, some as [d]pastors and teachers, 12for the equipping of the [e]saints for the work of ministry, for the building up of the...

Amen!! Let the OSAS crowd chew on that one! Unforgiveness will send a person to Hell no matter if he did call Jesus Lord! Jesus said, "Why do you call me Lord, Lord, & do not the things I say?"

Sorry, but you are 100% wrong. The 120 in the upper room were already believers, thus already saved. The 'gift of the Holy Ghost" was a measure of the Holy Spirit received at salvation. There's a huge difference between receiving the Gift at salvation & being "fully immersed" in the Holy Spirit.

Totally false. All the 120 in the upper room were already saved, yet they received this baptism of the Holy Spirit & exercising the gift of prophecy as the Spirit gave utterance. "Born of the Spirit" is about receiving the Holy Spirit at salvation, not the Baptism of the Holy Spirit.

This is totally false. Paul was an apostle, mentioned in the beginning of every epistle he wrote. He wasn't of the 12. When the Bible says they're apostles, then they're apostles!!! Paul wrote to the church about God calling apostles, so that means God called apostles! How do you know there's no...

The word meaning usurp was in the whole Bible just once! Yes , it means to illegally take authority over. For example, if a husband abuses his wife verbally or physically, it's illegally usurping authority over his wife. Parents who make slaves of their children are usurpng authority over them...

Are the 9 Gifts of the Spirit (1 Cor. 12) in operation today and if not Why? Biblically, yes. Actually? Very little. There is NOTHING openly declared in the Bible saying otherwise. If Jesus is always the same, & the Father declares in the OT He doesn't change, what about the Holy Spirit? The...

2 Timothy 2:14 English Standard Version Remind them of these things, and charge them before God not to quarrel about words, which does no good, but only ruins the hearers.

John the Baptist said "bring forth fruit necessary for repentance. What do we do to prove that? The 180 degree turn requires absolutely nothing? Taking off the old man & putting on the new requires nothing? Paul said "be transformed by the renewing of our minds." What does that entail? Jesus...

Yes, I am my brother's keeper. But haven't you seen how many won't receive neither instruction or rebuke? Remember when Paul rebuked Peter? Peter received it. Paul didn't rebuke many, for he knew who would receive it.:)

I cannot. If we should make our answers "yes,yes, or no,no, then our stance on the Word should reflect that. Even though I like these folks who are are on both sided of the Op, I do not agree with their stance, for it deviates away from their examples, ruining their testimony.

I can't believe my eyes... there's some on here putting their 'likes' on both sides of the Op. It makes me think that the modern church is in worse shape than I thought. Come quickly Lord Jesus!

In Acts 2, many believed this was when the church was born, but this isn't true. The 120 were already saved after Jesus accomplished His work & went to the right hand of the Father. Here, the church received the promise of power to do what none of them could do by themselves. They were "fully...

I was thinking how many worship teams "perform" onstage when I read this. David danced before the Lord with all his might, & his heart showed in every step. "Performance" worship of any kind isn't acceptable in or out of church. God looks only at the heart, for from the abundance of the heart...

F Y I..... there are people in mostly all denominations that believe in numerology. I would appreciate it if you would not slam them or any denomination for that matter. Satan is the accuser of the brethren & he doesn't need your help.:)

I wouldn't say a person's salvation is null & void because the minister went bad. Not at all. Paul taught in Phil. 1 that while he was inprisoned, there were two groups of people preaching Christ. One group were rivals/competitors in ministry to agitate Paul, while the other was trying to help...

I am not trying to destroy a man's reputation or show severe judgment against him, but there are considerable differences between "mistakes", & absolute false doctrine. Here is only one example of Billy Graham's false doctrine: It brings me no pleasure to post this, but we must know the truth.:(

I notice some people here think Billy could no wrong. Do a REAL search, not just a one-sided search, & you'll find a man who believed false doctrine & was a true Freemason.

.. I can't help how "awkward" it is, it's still not there. One should never add to scripture what's not there, regardless of how many translators do it.

I know personally that NO translation is perfect, though many claim theirs to be. An example: 1 Timothy 3:1 English Standard Version The saying is trustworthy: If anyone aspires to the office of overseer, he desires a noble task. King James Bible This is a true saying, If a man desire the...
