From my understanding Cessationists primarily use one Scripture for their theology. 1 Co 13:18 Love never ends. As for prophecies, they will pass away; as for tongues, they will cease; as for knowledge, it will pass away. But, the driving point of Paul's writings 1 Co 12-14 is not to forbid...

John 12:31Now is the judgment of this world; now will the ruler of this world be cast out. 32And I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all people to myself.” Where I diverge with Calvinistic thought is irresistible grace. I believe all are drawn to Him, but not all choose Him. Even...

Okay so let's address the elephant in the room with Scripture... 17For if, because of one man’s trespass, death reigned through that one man, much more will those who receive the abundance of grace and the free gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man Jesus Christ. v17 is...

Grace is a license to be righteous. People don't need a license to sin. They've been doing that for thousands of years without one. This focus on greasy grace is usually from the mindset of works-based salvation. Works-based salvationists make it a requirement in order to STAY saved. They will...

Notice James doesn't simply say "prayer" he says the "prayer of faith". And he didn't say if God wills it. He said WILL save the sick. JESUS clearly says peoples' faith made them well. Yet people say they don't need faith today? Scripture requests: 1 Peter 2:24 He himself bore our sins in his...

Scripture is so crystal clear that faith receives from God. BUT - Because not everyone gets healed, people say that faith is scam. It's the most ridiculous thing ever. It's unbelief through and through. Looking at the world to define God is the definition of UNBELIEF. Peter looked at the WAVES...

This idea is completely against Scripture. Pharisees wanted signs and wonders AFTER denying the ones He performed in front of them. If you think Jesus only healed because He was "confirming" His message, this goes against a lot of Scriptures. 1. Jesus performed a miracle for Mary "before His...

2 Co 5:21God made Him who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf, so that in Him we might become the righteousness of God. First, we must remember repentance is turning toward a truth. And the truth sets us free. Next, we will look at the sin and sickness connection. This doesn't mean sick people...

The difference is in those who focus on not sinning. As opposed to freely being able to love one another. Note the term "love feasts". Also note the term "ungodly" it is clear these men do not know God who is love. How we treat one another shows our knowledge of God. Even just saying this will...

The issue can not be skirted around... Either we believe Christ work makes us righteous or we believe our work does. And our work is self-righteousness. But this also necessarily needs to play out into all forms of belief. Is He my source of holiness or am I? Do I follow Him and His Spirit by...

Holiness can become works when we are trying to accomplish something independent of the work of Christ. BUT when we agree with the work of Christ and we come into obedience of it, it is sanctification. That's why identity in Christ is taught easily over 100x in Scripture. Behavior comes in under...

What is this KNOWLEDGE??? Jeremiah 31:34 "They will not teach again, each man his neighbor and each man his brother, saying, 'Know the LORD,' for they will all know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them," declares the LORD, "for I will forgive their iniquity, and their sin I...

If God was withholding healing for His righteousness, why would anyone go to a doctor? But I do agree on one point. Sickness and disease will be removed when the Kingdom of God comes. I agree. Mark 1:15 And saying, “The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe...

And while I'm at it, let's look at what it REALLY means to be a Berean since I'm sure a lot of people THINK they are being Bereans with skepticism. First off being a Berean is not being a skeptic. It's actually the OPPOSITE! Paul had dealt with MANY skeptics in the Jews, but what was different...

Let's look at this idea of testing the spirits because this idea is used to basically say, oh my skepticism is testing the spirits, but let's see what Scripture says about it: 1Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, for many false prophets...

Pretty much every verse that Scripture talks about regarding tongues is evidence that it is speaking TO God and not people. And it's not understandable. The ONE place that people can understand it, we see it's because they were able to hear what disciples were speaking to God in their own...

I'll address the idea that "perfect" can not be love in 1 Co 13:8... First let's see if the words "perfect" and "love" are every connected in Scripture: 1 John 4:16So we have come to know and to believe the love that God has for us. God is love, and whoever abides in love abides in God, and...
