I think we are really in agreement other than the "transitional" part of your statement which I don't understand. The book of Acts is history as the bible is in it's entirety, but also too as is the bible in total, we must glean what is doctrine to be followed and applied from it, of which...

I dont disagree with the scriptures posted nor am i ignorantof them; how can anyone disagree with scripture? The whole point of my post was to indicate that there's a way that one gets into Christ and that's by being baptized into him. There's no other way to become part of the body of Christ...

Here's something I've already posted that you may have not seen that I'll repost for you. REPOST The subject of spiritual gifts is difficult to understand, hence very controversial, and equally difficult to unravel. First, look at the way Paul began the Corinthian letter starting at 1 Cor1:10...

Faith only is NOT all that's required at least not when you consider all pertinent scripture. If you cherrypick scripture as you are doing, then you can find one that says faith only. But you can also find another that says confession is all that's necessary such as Romans 10:9 if you only rely...

Please see the below repost of mine fir your consideration from another forum regarding this topic which also addresses the question of what is "that which is perfect ". The subject of spiritual gifts is difficult to understand, hence very controversial, and equally difficult to unravel. First...

The "word of knowledge" ad stated in 1 Cor 12:8 is something different than the normal everyday knowledge we all have about or that's available to everyone. It was unique and unknown information.

Pascha is passover not Easter. Look it up in the interlinear

Luke3:16 16John answered, saying unto them all, I indeed baptize you with water; but one mightier than I cometh, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to unloose: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost and with fire: Luke 24:49 49And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you...

If you follow the gifts as first noted in Acts 1 and 2 from their origin, Acts 1:4-5 tells that and repeats what John the Baptist said as well as what Jesus told his apostles to do in Luke 24:49..This was fulfilled and it was bestowed upon the apostles. They were given the power from on high and...

Just further to Acts 2 and 10. Those 2 instances where the Holy Ghost fell as it did are very unique and not the norm. In both instances the church was established, and it was for a sign; in one instance in Acts 2, to the Jews in Jerusalem and the other was a sign to Peter and his group in Acts...

1 Cor 13:8

Not a way out, just a way to confirm what's accurate. What about the mention of Easter in the KJV and only the KJV? Do you buy that, that it's accurate there, or should you look atcthe Greek word 'pascha' which means passover, not Easter? If you didn't read anything else to gain true...

Mark 16:15-16 15And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. 16He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. Belief + baptism = salvation in JESUS words not in the book of Acts. And baptism and it's...

The KJV reads a bit different than the version you quoted. And in either case it doesn't imply that the gifts are or will be in effect until the coming of Christ as implied by 1 Cor 13:8, that they (gifts), will cease or vanish away. So what unknown languages have you spoken and I assume it was...

There are examples if anyone accepting Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior to get the Spirit. Acts 2:38 tells you how and when you get the gift of the Holy Ghost which is subsequent to belief, repentance, and baptism.

Just one quick comment. The "by one Spirit" as per the KJV in 1 Cor 12:13, is a poor translation even though I personally like and read the KJV, but look at the original Greek in the interlinear, which says "in one Spirit". It does make a difference as some tend to use the KJV there to justify...

Not when the bible was completed but when the apostles died and those they laid their hands on died. They, the apostles, were promised and given the power from on high as noted in Luke 24:49.

Most certainly does by simple logic and inference. You think the ability to speak in an unknown tongue is not miraculous in nature? Think again. Read Luke 24:49 Jesus instructions to his apostles. Then read closely Acts 1 and 2. The gifts including tongues were promised to and bestowed upon the...

The list of spiritual gifts per 1 Cor 12:8-10, are all no longer present today nor are they needed as they were in the early church. They were needed then to build and inspire the fledgling church. There was no completed written word of God then. All such gifts have either ceased or have...
