And a Calvinist since you don't deny it. Whatever. If you only knew how extremely unimpressed I am. Really. I won't bother to post all I am or have done since it will be judged by fire one day and God will be the judge.

Having your own private interpretation/translation just puts you right up there with several other cults IMO
Well, I invite you to submit something appropriate for adding to the website:

I have no idea what your sentence is attempting say.

Do you believe that God has never revoked a gift?

This is what Dino is implying with Romans 11:29.

Many people use this verse as a blanket statement to cover any certain event or principle they wish to continue, regardless of the absurdity that such reasoning leads to.
and yet no one can refute it..... seems like it's pretty solid

Amen
It is the same Jesus and Holy Spirit that was empowering the church 2k yrs ago.

Hard to believe there are those hoping to have less power , intimacy and anointing.
SMH
Flat out bizarre.
The Mormons proclaim the same thing that you are proclaiming but with more sincerity, authority, numbers and history.

Does that make their claim true?

Yes or No?

Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Matthew 11:28

and through Him to reconcile all things to Himself, having made peace through the blood of His cross; through Him, I say, whether things on earth or things in heaven. Col. 1:20

For He Himself is our peace, who made both groups into one and broke down the barrier of the dividing wall, Eph.2:14

Keep things in context and you know, the why, where and when you are so enamored of.
The "context" is this current discourse. A honest debate about whether or not current claims of tongues are comparable to the tongues spoken in the 1st Century.

The "context" is not about those who "labor and are heavy laden".

Wakey wakey.

You mean like cessationists revoking the parts in scripture they don't believe? :unsure:

Slander?

Come, come now. Are you really that thinned skinned?
The point is you have nothing to offer in this discussion not a single verse you can provide can disprove the verse provided by @Dino246 and you avoid my challendghe to do so because you know you can't
You have already lost this argument why you continue to try is beyond me when you and trustandobey cannot disprove the verse at least he attempts to do so with scripture albeit either out of context or just plain wrong but you what have you offered?

Paul instructed the Corinthian church to get rid of the adulterer before sin spread thru the body putting up with it.
The mocker has proven his identity & should be banned. If not you can argue with him in the next 10 Ops he starts.
So report him instead of spreading criticism publicly.

Well then there are a number of groups using the same name as you. (shrugs)
Well, I have used the term to describe my beliefs since before 2005,
so I may be the oldest truthseeker you know.

I googled www.truthseeker.com in 2002 and found a publication called "Truth Seeker Company, Freethought Publishers Since 1873".

So I am curious about what a Pauline is, what are the core beliefs of one?

If it's perfect how, in this world and the next, could said perfection differ? The perfect in question refers to the perfection of believers in the next world.
I believe the word "perfect" in 1 Corinthians means "mature" or "complete"..... not "perfect" as we humans view perfection.
