Wages of Sin: Romans 6:23 states, "For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord." Sin has consequences, and this "death" is the debt we owe for our transgressions.

It's true that God's love and forgiveness are immense, but Romans 4:4 isn't talking about punishment for a debt. This verse is about how we receive salvation. The idea is that if someone relies solely on their own good works ("working") to earn God's favor, then the reward (salvation) becomes...

While Christ's sacrifice is universally available, salvation requires a human response. Romans 10:9-10 explains, "because, if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes and is...

1. Cessationist View: This view holds that the miraculous gifts of the Holy Spirit, such as speaking in tongues, ceased after the apostolic age. They believe the Bible describes these gifts as specific to the early church for establishing Christianity and not intended for the present day. In...

Can you be more specific?

The baptism of the Holy Spirit is a distinct experience from salvation (new birth) and is essential for receiving the Gifts of the Spirit. Acts 8:14-17 and Acts 19:1-6 is evidence, where receiving the Holy Spirit and the manifestation of specific gifts appear as separate events following...

Grace only evident IN US when we through faith we accept it. Otherwise we live in a state of separation from God. Romans 3:23 states, "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." This verse acknowledges the universality of human sinfulness and our inherent inability to reach God's...

Imagine a beautiful garden flourishing with vibrant flowers. The sun's rays nourish the plants, allowing them to bloom in all their glory. The sun doesn't demand anything in return for its light; it simply shines. In the same way, God's grace is the sunshine that nourishes our spiritual lives...

1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. 1. Substance: This word carries the sense of foundation, underlying reality, or assurance. Faith is the bedrock upon which our hopes rest. 2. Things hoped for: This refers to the promises of God, things that are...

That was only the beginning of Joel's prophecy being fulfilled and its still being poured out today. I love God so much. Many Christians believe in the diverse ways the Holy Spirit continues to work in the lives of believers Today from all walks of life as evidence of this ongoing fulfillment...

We can only go by what we have available through the Word of God and don't know every situation and circumstance of when God's power is on display. I was in a Youth Convention one time and suddenly right in the middle of song service it got extremely quiet (which was unusual because there...

We do agree it could happen. Those exact condition that made Acts 2 unique likely wouldn't occur in modern church society. It would be such a beautiful sight to see, that much faith contained in on building or room, amazing

What I was trying to say was that if over 120 people started speaking in tongues at one time, in a congregation of that many nations one or more people will hear their own language. I never meant the act of giving tongues by one or at most three. When done individually, in tongues meant for the...

Other than the audible sound of wind and visible tongues of fire and feeling of tongues sitting on them. If condition were the same. 120+ speaking in tongues and a congregation of 15 different languages represented. Then the congregation would hear in their own language with no need for an...
