In double checking what I have been reading. The link to Antifa isn't clear despite the online chat rooms joking about the killing and fascist statements. It is still under investigation as to what radicalized him so quickly.

Yes. Online chat rooms were discovered. The sayings on the bullets match typical Antifa slogans. And the whole objective of ANTIFA is to fight fascism or so they say.

You can't have a peace without war. There is a war that must take place on different fronts. War of the mind War of the spiritual War of the physical Mind: truth must prevail Spiritual: evil must be fought through the gospel and life transformation. Physical: Domestic terrorism must be...

🚩Good evening American churches🚩 We shouldn’t be surprised when lost people act like lost people. To love those who hate you is to be gospel focused. No matter who they are, if we burn the bridge and isolate or give up on the lost, then we are failing the Great Commission. You may not agree...

Gifts are those that God has empowered from the wonders to even those in worship and music. For example, many are talented in music but not all are called to use it in worship. We make lists to try and sum up the gifts but in the totality of scripture we see God empower people in many different...

How do you define the apostolic and prophetic gifts? And should we expect the experience today to be the same as recorded in scripture and the early church?

In scripture, the miracles performed was never specifically just for personal proof. It could always be verified by others. Which is also how Luke wrote much of his accounts through eyewitness accounts. Scripture speaks of two types of tongues. A personal prayer language and corporate...

In studying the gifts from the scriptures I struggle to see how the modern church's use of the sign gifts compares to Biblical examples. When did tongues become gibberish? Versus known languages? When did healing or miracles involve these ritualistic practices? And claims without evidence...

So I recently came across a book called The 3 Colors Of Ministry using the trinatarian model to highlight the spiritual gifting including the way God has empowered us. Very intriguing information as most people lean more heavily towards one of the three manifestations of God. God the Father...

A physical birth which was the state he was in but what was required was to be reborn in the Spirit. Putting His faith in Christ. Two births, one birth into death through sin, and the other birth into life in Christ.

Good day everyone, I'm looking for help in translation. I have a brother in Christ that is trying to find ways to help his Thai wife get connected in His church. I recently discovered that Microsoft Word has a translation tab. I have one Christian devotion in English and the same devotion...

What are you struggling in? What type of support? I personally would avoid AG-affiliated churches but that is because of doctrinal disagreements. Especially the need to seek a 2nd baptism of the Spirit. They say it is needed to be empowered but the examples given don't hold much weight. Then...

If yes, what is your Biblical and historical evidence? If no, what is your Biblical and historical evidence? Why are some spiritual gift lists longer than others and contain for example (music, singleness, apostle, craftsmanship, or deliverance/exorcisms)?

Is Disunity in the Church Good or Bad? Galatians 5:15 New International Version 15 If you bite and devour each other, watch out or you will be destroyed by each other. Nothing can destroy a movement of God faster than division and strife. Conflict between the will of the Spirit and the desires...

For the past two and a half weeks, an eye infection left me with extreme light sensitivity that felt like the eye was being stabbed. It was enough to completely destroy the drive for spiritual Kingdom building. With intense pain often comes intense prayer. And the truth after intense prayer...

You have not missed anything. They go hand in hand. Too much head knowledge without Holy Spirit guidance typically leads to heresy. Too much chasing the emotionalism of the Spirit without good head knowledge can also lead to error. They go together like peanut butter and jelly. Checks and...

The Spirit does indeed draw all people unto God. But you will not find any example of the indwelling coming before belief. It was always belief and then the Spirit came after. Unless you have a different example?

Pistis and pisteuo Faith and believe Pistis is God gifting faith Pisteuo is our response to the Holy Spirit drawing. I suppose you can think of God as the cowboy leading the horse to the water but ultimately it is still on the horse to drink.

Agree. Keyword: were completely depraved past tense. Agree. God responded with supernatural and natural means. If God had not responded, we would have been no different than how God judges the wildlife. It would have simply been our nature but God wanted more than just another animal, He...

How else does one come to belief? You're not born a believer from the womb. 🙂 Everyone got there before the indwelling of the Spirit. Do you have any examples of the indwelling coming before belief?
