    I believe that the context of Spiritual gifts were the reason for Pauls address. I would implore you to read Acts 10, and ask yourself the question of why does it say they received the Baptism and their speaking in tongues - but even more importantly, why did it say that the Tongue was not...

    Master of Divinity Student

    I would never claim to have superior knowledge for reason of pride. The scriptures tell us to remain humble, and having knowledge is great, praise the Lord, but you have to guard the heart because knowledge puffs up. With that being said, I won't say the University, because I know it will just...

    GWH, I do agree with you on the premise of Salvation. I do not believe that a person who has accepted Christ has to speak in tongues. Rather, it is through the action and proclamation of the Gospel (Matthew 28:19). I do, however, disagree that having the gifts is not empowered by the Spirit of...

    Great question, So, I want to say about 4 years ago now I was in Kansas City, Missouri. I had just moved there and was attending Art college online. I went to a series of meetings, and during the meeting there was an awesome man by the name of Eric Mataxes. He wrote a book on Bonhoeffer. I...

    Master of Divinity Student

    Our aim as believers should never be to condemn or shut other believers down. When I speak, I do have presuppositions, we all do. However, I do attempt to see the other side of the coin. For instance, if someone does not believe in tongues, I begin to ask myself the question of why? Then that...

    I am not sure I want to disclose as I don't want to spark a debate surrounding the college itself. :)

    Making a case for women in leadership

    I suppose my question to you would be why does Paul affirm certain women in ministry?

    I will mark that down as a question - I am sure he will address it in his book as well. The moment I get an answer, I will let you know!

    Biblical Eschatology

    I think we all have some level of presupposition going into anything in life. However, I am very open about my opinions and I ask questions. I have seen my views change completely. I got my bachelors in Biblical Literature, and I remember going into the school I was very much all about...

    Biblical Eschatology

    I always attempt to get started on my readings ahead of my classes. I will say that Eschatology comes from a Greek word called Eschatos which means the extreme, the most remote and spoken of place and time, the last. This is the first key. The second key: which If I am understanding your...

    Biblical Eschatology

    Hello fellow brothers and sisters, If you did not know, I am currently pursuing a Masters in Divinity. My next class is Biblical Eschatology which is a fancy way of saying - the study of the end times. I thought it would be interesting to ask your view on the End time? Personally, I believe...

    Concerning the gift of tongues

    Then my follow up question would be: Why are there times when tongues is given in the book of Acts and there is no interpreter around nor does it say anyone understood what they were saying or speaking?

    Concerning the gift of tongues

    I am scratching my head. Now, you may be asking me why I am doing such a thing? I see a lot of opinions being shared, but I see very few claims with scripture or credible sources being used.

    That was more directed towards Aaron 56 - but to add to the conversation as well.

    Encounters and Calling

    That was Paul's profession. The Holy Spirit did speak to Paul several directions at times. If this was the case for Paul why would God cease to speak direction to us? Can God give us direction on where to work?

    Encounters and Calling

    That's an assumption, I think the majority of Christians learn and experience God through the scriptures - However, I do believe that HOW God spoke in scriptures, He still speaks today in the same way. He still gives dreams and visions, angelic visitations. He still speaks through prophets today...
