Resident Alien, I think you are too judgmental, and not just of Pentecostals. I believe I read a few of your posts where you were using the word "idiot" in describing others you disagreed with, and this is not of God. When used in derision, the use of such words is a sign of a contemptuous...

Greetings Laura, and blessings in Christ. I'm not positive that being an eyewitness to His resurrection is an absolute requirement. And I think he asks a pertinent question in the following: We know additional apostles besides these men exist because Christ, after His ascension, appointed...

Boy does that quote dismantle the "Jesus Only" argument. Never read it before, so thanks for posting. I have it in mind to go through the ante-Nicene fathers (the first few volumes in their entirety at least) in the future. In general, their theology was usually much stronger than most of what...

Yes. Only the twelve were chosen for the foundations of the City. I think you go too far that we are opposing Christ by teaching there were more, though. Both Paul and Luke taught that there were, and certainly we agree that neither of them opposed Christ. I would clarify regarding my own...

Evmur was right. Paul referred to himself, Timothy and Silas as all being apostles. That makes at least 14.

We are certainly agreed here. But my argument here is often that many don't realize just what an important role the supernatural gifts played in the spread of the gospel. It is what got the world's attention. It even says of Christ's miracles that, "news spread abroad" of what He had done, as...

I was just discussing with someone how Romans 12 teaches that walking in the gifts is actually a part of what it means to prove what the good and perfect will of God is for believers. We are also to be filled with the Spirit of Love, Joy, Hope, Patience, Mercifulness, Cheerfulness, etc (v.9-13)...

What source do you have for this? The question isn't about their veracity being known, however. The question is when was the canon officially closed. Source documentation is therefore needed on this. In bringing up "the more excellent way," however, he again returns to discussing operating...

Thank you for the reply, and God bless. Ok, here you make a jump that I don't think can be supported. We agree that it is not a reference to Christ, but disagree that it can only refer to the completed text, since the New Testament wasn't actually formally canonized until 393 A.D., which is...

Yes. This is what I sensed he was probably doing. It's provocative, which he knows will draw attention. Possibly. I know Hagee is very Pro-Israel. I would have to read the book to know if he is outright absolving Jews of their responsibility of choosing to recognize Jesus for who He is. Being...

Curious. His claim in the trailer is that "Jesus did not come to earth to be the Messiah." The video creator seems to be arguing against him saying, "Jesus is not the Messiah," but I'm not certain that's what Hagee is actually contending for. I think he is likely arguing that Jesus did not...

Greetings. If you would, tell me your interpretation of the following verses below (highlighted), in respect to your teaching that the gifts have passed away. I'm curious how the Cessationist position interprets them: 8 Love never fails. But whether there are prophecies, they will fail...
