    What to do in church meetings Protestant Tradition v. Scripture

    Mattthew 28 Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, into a mountain where Jesus had appointed them. 17And when they saw him, they worshipped him: but some doubted. 18And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. 19Go ye therefore, and...

    What to do in church meetings Protestant Tradition v. Scripture

    Where do you get that? Paul was an apostle, but he wasn't one of the Twelve... according to his own words in I Corinthians 15.

    What to do in church meetings Protestant Tradition v. Scripture

    Instead of making pronouncements, why don't you look up what you are talking about. The Athenian government called government delegates it sent out 'Apostles' back during their days of dominating other cities. The word had a meaning BEFORE it showed up in the New Testament. Apostle means...

    What to do in church meetings Protestant Tradition v. Scripture

    According to Acts 14:14, there were at least 14 apostles. Ironic isn't it. See also Acts 14:4. (Well, 15 at this point).

    The Error of KJV-Onlyism

    @Bible_Highlighter None of your comments about Westcott and Hort or your concerns expressed about the modern Bible movement are in any way evidence for the idea that the King James version is a perfect inspired translation.

    The Error of KJV-Onlyism

    This is not evidence for KJV Onlyism. It may be evidence that the early Baptist movement might have been just a bit wonky.

    What is the point in being a prophet?

    You should pray about this but it might be wise to pray and get an interpretation of your dreams from God before sharing them publicly.

    Pentecostal view of the holy spirit.

    This tells me something about your character, and how much you care about truth. Some dumb idea comes into your head, and you state it as fact. I've been responding to your posts using a phone. Your questions aren't interesting or relevant enough to what we were talking about for me to...

    Pentecostal view of the holy spirit.

    If you don't have anything to say, don't say anything at all. If you have a point, make it. You are putting sentences together, but again, what is your point?

    Pentecostal view of the holy spirit.

    So your responses aren't conceptually linked to the messages we have been passing back and forth in this forum, but rather to one sentence you read in the OP? I am pretty sure I posted this earlier in the forum, but as someone raised in the Pentecostal movement, I can tell you that the vast...

    How did the New Testament church worship?

    In scripture these commandments and other laws were given to the children of Israel, who were to be distinct from other nations. If Israel were being Pious Gentiles who lived in the nation should follow the Sabbath and also Gentile convert to join themselves to Israel as proselytes were...

    Pentecostal view of the holy spirit.

    You can say that about Baptists or Presbyterians. I cannot say an atheist or idolator who joins the Watchtower group or the Mormons might not see some improvement from his life and even tell him about having some answered prayers. but how is this related to what we were discussing? are you...

    Pentecostal view of the holy spirit.

    This looks like a derail of the thread and a tangent considering what we were discussing. Unless you are genuinely struggling with the idea of becoming a Mormon, why don't you respond to my points in a way that is relevant to the thread?

    Pentecostal view of the holy spirit.

    Lifestyle can be evidence of faith. Answered prayer can be evidence of prayers made in faith. Paul could see that a man had faith, and Barnabas could see grace.

    Pentecostal view of the holy spirit.

    If you believe God for something and you do not see it, that doesn't mean you will never see it. You can believe the New Testament teachings that Jesus will return. That doesn't mean you will never see it. Peter believed that he could walk on water, and he did it. When he did it, he could...

    Pentecostal view of the holy spirit.

    I think you are missing the fact that other people witnessed a miracle and Thomas dismissed it out of hand and didn't believe it. Who is the one doing that in this conversation? Believing and then seeing miracles is not the same as 'faith because you have seen.' Peter had faith and he walked...

    Pentecostal view of the holy spirit.

    God did a great miracle. Thomas heard about it and didn't believe it. He saw evidence of it and then believed. Jesus spoke a blessing on those who had not seen, and yet had believed. That definitely does not fit with the argument you are trying to make here.
