Except these disciples were not believing in Jesus Christ because they had not heard the Gospel (Acts 19). As for the Acts 8 crowd, at least one was not believing and whose heart was not right with God. Is this why the Lord held out on His promise and waited on the arrival of Peter and John, two...

You won't get that gift because it is no longer needed. It was a sign to the unbelieving Jews they were about to suffer the ultimate discipline and be dispersed again among the Gentile nations which culminated in the destruction of Jerusalem in 70AD. The gifts were given for the building up of...

It was a gift given by God used to show unbelieving Jews they were in error, yet even so, they would not learn. It is not a gift given today for this is the time of the Gentiles. Verse 21 is a quote from Isaiah 28:11. 1Cor.14:21&22 21 In the law it is written, With men of other tongues and...

Not sure exactly what you are asking in relation to "asking the Father for the Spirit" but tongues and prophecy was certainly a sign of being baptized by the Holy Spirit in those early days.

I think you will find it is John's way of saying Satan had fallen prior to the creation of humanity and we can trace the origin of our sinning to that encounter in the Garden. The word translated "beginning" has the connotation of origin rather than referring to a specific time period. 1Jn.3:8...

God doesn't come in piecemeal fashion.

John 3:17 For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved. Amen. grace and peace

And it would seem you're not trying to learn what the scriptures are telling you either. :(

And did they ask? No, the Spirit came according to the promise. It is an insult to ask God for what He has already gifted us and promises to gift those who believe. You should read that passage again as to why they did not have the Spirit as they needed to be told to believe in the one who came...

I think you have that back to front. God keeps His people out of the sphere of trouble and places them in the safe spaces. Noah was placed in the Ark and the rest went through trouble. Lot was removed from the sphere of destruction and allowed to find safety in the mountains. Rahab remained...

Yes, you extinguish His leading, you do not extinguish Him. It is why we are commanded to be filled or to walk by means of the Spirit. You do not lose the Spirit, He doesn't go anywhere, He remains in you at all times therefore you never have to ask. The Spirit is God's gift to us so that we...

No you don't ask, you are insulting God by suggesting He doesn't keep His promise. You are never without the Spirit. It is the Spirit that seals you are causes your body to be a temple to God. The giving of the Spirit is a gift. Acts 2:38 Then Peter said to them, “Repent, and let every one of...

Yes, when we sin, if we do not apply 1John1:9 and confess our sin, we grieve the Spirit within us. If we continue to justify our sin, we will quench the Spirit. This is why we are commanded to be filled with the Spirit, not because He is no longer in us but because we are no longer walking under...

You don't have to ask. It is automatic when you are baptized in the Spirit. If the Spirit left us when we sinned then we could not grieve or quench Him for He would not be there. Ephesians 4:30 And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. 1...

You don't have to ask anymore. Jesus said that in a time before the Spirit was given. Now He baptizes us in the Spirit when we believe, sealing us until the day of redemption. John 7:39 But this He spoke concerning the Spirit, whom those believing in Him would receive; for the Holy Spirit was...

If you think that makes you a prophet, then so am I, as I have known that (what your sign says) since the 1980's. I think you confuse being prophetic with the appointment of prophet. All Christians ought to be prophetic for the testimony of Christ is the spirit of prophecy. Revelation 19:10...

I always wonder what a prophet could say that God has not repeated a thousand times already. How loud does the Lord have to yell before people hear? Is sending His own Son not enough? <sigh>

I cannot comprehend how you have a Kingdom Rule with a missing King and no believers.

This soul is a warrior who knows how to stand and stand again and then stand some more. ;)

You think the Second Coming happens at the end of the Millennium. You have no event to initiate the Millenium other than the Resurrection of Tribulation saints and no Ruler to rule over the Earth. Your Millennium still has an absent King and an absent body of believers, afterall, Jesus said He...
