By the way, to make your claim that the gifts of tongues, interpretation of tongues, healings, and prophesies continued unceasingly since Pentecost, what historical evidence or Scriptures can you present? That is the real issue. By the way, my faith is intact regardless of my opinion about...

By the way. women have played significant roles in cults and aberrant world religions. I would point to Mohammed's wife, which convinced him he was a prophet. And, the Seventh Day Adventist church, which allows abortions within its' membership, whose leadership involved Ellen G. White, a woman...

I agree...it is against the created order. And I don't think men should marry significantly older women for this reason, too.

The prohibition is specifically on a woman being an elder. I don't think a woman can be a head pastor. However, that doesn't prohibit women from having some leadership positions including teaching children or teenagers, and speaking to other women. I don't think a woman should teach...

Let's stick strictly with the topic of the gifts of healing, tongues, interpretation of tongues and prophecy. I think you mentioned that there was proof of these gifts in the apostolic error up until the 3rd century. If I am correct in your comments, then let me ask the following: 1. what...

Here's where it seems like any sane person would realize that charismatic teaching is wrong. There is not one single person who can do the same works as Jesus did when he walked on earth. It could apply to the Church as a whole in a limited manner. Or, perhaps what Jesus is saying is through...

Would you agree that Kenneth Hagin was a false teacher? I think he may have even been a demoniac. And I really have a hard time with anyone who would think goofs like this are real Christian believers, let alone teachers. Notice the wild behavior amongst the audience. It all shames...

I'm not sure if I understand the question. God is uncreated, unique, and the only Being worthy of worship. The beginning is talking about created things. Even time is a creation of God, as he is transcendent, above time and space. God is Creator and is not created. He is the ultimate...

JWs are not Christians. And, I dare say that churches which teach gay marriage is valid, and use strippers, are not Christians either. So, I'm not sure what your point is. The many things I have brought up are part of the Pentecostal/charismatic community, though...and as you are expressing...

How is this relevant? Do you think that the resurrection bodies of believers will have scars from their persecutions and martyrdoms? Or, do you believe Jesus is a special case? Of course, he is a special case. They are an eternal reminder of his loving sacrifice. So, I am not sure why you...

Show me in this account where Jesus said this. Quote the Scriptures. By the way, if Christ indicated this in one Scripture, it doesn't mean that is the determining factor in all cases. He healed apparent unbelievers sometimes. The other gigantic assumption is that Jesus' ministry is...

Be aware that I have no issue with "lively worship". I doubt that charismatics and Pentecostals have a proper understanding of languages and interpretation and God's promises regarding healing. As I have said, I believe God heals according to his sovereign will, and mainly through the elders...

Regarding this, as I have said, the Corinthians did NOT have Scripture to inform their behavior. Paul's writings were canonized later, and just about everyone has a Bible. If they don't have one, it is their own fault except in rare circumstances such as countries where it has not been...

I think you lack an understanding of the ultimate healing, which occurs at the resurrection. The curse is totally reversed at Jesus' return. This is contrary to the teachings of dispensationalists, of which charismatics/Pentecostals generally belong to. So, in one sense, I could say healing...

Firstly, yes, I would have considered those prophets to be false if their prophecies did not come true. Are you not aware that Israel was full of false prophets? Secondly, concerning the individual who was clubbing with her son's friends and bragged about being a MILF, and the other guy who...

First, I would like some clarification on whether you think all believers should speak in tongues, because my understanding is that AOG teaches this. I am not positive, though. That's a major issue I have with Pentecostals and charismatics. Some of them believe that if you don't speak in...
