    Concerning the gift of tongues

    Just conceding dots (scripture), and basing conclusions upon the proper situations and timeframes, not taking things out of linear and logical context as most do. What do the scriptures say, to whom, when, and what were the issues present there at that time???

    This response is devoid of sense! What did you mean and predicated upon what scripturally?

    Concerning the gift of tongues

    I don't think so. It was poorly worded if I recall, and if that's what she meant, I think she's contradicting herself and position taken. I think she meant she'll follow the bible and the bible says (in her opinion), "that which is perfect" infers 'till the end of the world. If I'm wrong, I do...

    Concerning the gift of tongues

    The Bible does NOT say that the gifts will not end until the world ends. Where does it say that? Let me help you: IT DOESN’T, NO WHERE

    Concerning the gift of tongues

    Act Actually, no. This is an extract from a larger writing on the subject of gifts. Some things are difficult to unravel and require greater explanation.

    Concerning the gift of tongues

    Yep. The miraculous gifts listed in 1 cor 12:8-10. All were manifestations of the Spirit, enabled by the laying on of the apostle's hands, and they're DED!

    Concerning the gift of tongues

    I wrote it. And I think I've explained the subject. You're placing what Paul said in a completely different timeframe than intended by him. Once again, read carefully and understand who the letters were written to and subjects being addressed on THAT timeperiod. Gifts were short lived and...

    Concerning the gift of tongues

    What was the reason for the gifts? When was this written, and to whom? It deals with the early church, building it, edifying it. It has nothing to do with the future with Christ; its all about the earthly kingdom, the church, the body of Christ.

    Concerning the gift of tongues

    Read the below scriptures carefully noting how the body of Christ is equated to the body of a man with all the diverse pieces that must fit together and function together to make the body function as it should, and the gifts are likened together various body parts, enabling them to function as a...

    Concerning the gift of tongues

    All the miraculous manifestations of the Spirit, those gifts listed in 1 cor 12:8-10, have ceased. These gifts were made manifest, or were enabled by the laying on of the apostle's hands, who are long dead.

    Concerning the gift of tongues

    You are twisting the words of scripture a bit. It doesn't say all things. And see my responses elsewhere regarding "that which is perfect" which addresses yours and others incorrect view of what these scriptures mean. If you can't find my other writings, I'll repost, but the subject matter is...

    Concerning the gift of tongues

    When that which is perfect, and tge perfect means the perfect man, meaning the body of Christ; and those words were directed to the Corinthians who had a myriad of issues. The perfection of the body of Christ obviously differed from congregation to congregation, so, thst perfection could have...

    Concerning the gift of tongues

    What was said when you "spoke in tongues", and what was the tongue in which you spoke? And what was prophesied by you in specific terms?

    What is a church?

    Dumb question, to which i won't respond. It doesn't matter what I believe or don't believe or you on such a question

    What is a church?

    You're now twisting things and asking answerable questions. The simple issue is 'belief', and does that alone suffice to be saved. And James clearly indicates belief is not enough, there's more because devils believe as well. And James is referring to belief in God not the gospel.

    What is a church?

    Your initial logic isn't sound and now you are qualifying it unscripturally by your words alone. If it only takes belief, then they, the demons, believed. So, its not just belief that saves. And as I stated, im sure they have faith in Christ too, since they know he CAN do what he says. Then...
