But why do you say the saints will not be caught up to meet theors in the air at the return of Christ like I Thessalonians 4 teaches? That is what the rapture means.

The seed of the woman promise was eventually fulfilled, partly through Eve giving birth.

You need to work on your grammar.

When I was in college, I was walking through the student center. There was a huge room down there, and I think more than one of the black fraternities had gotten together and invited Chris Rock to do a show. It was free for students, so I went in and started listening to his routine. But...

If your husband were a believer, you could reason with him based on 'Children obey your parents in the Lord' and 'Honor thy father and they mother.' You can also gently tell him that you like how your son is obedient to his father. You would like him to back up your authority as an extension...

I've heard of Apostolic Pentecostals doing that. Are you talking about a Sami or Finnish Lutheran group? Don't they sprinkle babies and confirm teenagers?

Never heard of them.

Some people take verse 28 that way, but keep silent in the church and let him speak to himself and to God could mean pray outside of the church, since Paul says earlier in the passage that he speaks in tongues more than them all, yet in the church he would rather speak five words with the...

Re: Romans 8:26, Does it make sense that speaking in tongues is groanings that cannot be spoken? I conclude that speaking in tongues can be spoken, and are therefore not the same thing as these groanings that cannot be spoken.

The Bible does not teach that it is inherently sinful to own a slave. The only verses that might indicate otherwise aee verses about giving up all one's possessions to follow Christ. I have heard Christians call slavery a sin. It bothers me that they get their definition of sin from...

Do not worship Sunday. Do not worship the Sabbath.

I'm not sure if the A/G had formed, but some of the early Pentecostals just assumed they would be able to preach in tongues on the mission field without learning the language. The Bible does not teach that, but some of them believed that. While many tongues at Azusa Street and other...

Paul contrasts praying with his spirit, which he would do if he prayed in tongues, with praying with h Wasn't that an earlier stage before the formation of the A/G?

It looks like you are backtracking, reversing your stance on an area of agreement. There is no evidence at all that the apostles were supernaturally empowered to speak in languages that they did not know to proclaim Christ crucified and resurrected. It's possible that's what they said in Acts...

And it is therefore pure speculation to assert that the apostles evangelized 'in tongues'.

There is no evidence he preached in supernatural 'tongues'.

@Nehemiah6 there is no evidence in the Bible at all for the idea that anybody ever spoken 'tongues' supernaturally like tgus and preached the gospel that is Christ crucified buried and resurrected. Speaking of the wonderful works of God in tongues got the attention of some people who...

Twice. Four cases of individual or groups gifred without the laying on of hands of the apostles. One recieved a gift through prophecy with the laying on of hands of the elders.
