I think many mistake the New Birth and the fullness of the Spirit that comes through holiness with the Baptism with the Holy Spirit.. They also confuse the prayer of faith that heals today with the Apostle's signs and wonders. But a study of the first century gifts clearly shows today's gifts are not first century gifts, but 20th century "knockoffs".[/Q, n!UOTE]
The Baptism in/of the Hoily Spirit was NEVER refernced in any of the Epostles, as all of us saved have already had that happen at time on salvation! We are to seek the fullness, not tongues and so called second blessing!
The giftf of the Holy Spirit are not ended. many of them are not as obvious as others. For example, a successful congregation , besides having a good pastor, usually has a good finance manager, sanctuary maintenance people, maybe a good choir & director (maybe a Minister of Music), & good pew cleaners, floor sweepers, & groundskeepers. While not as obvious as a healer tongue-user, or interpreter, I believe the HOLY SPIRIT enables them to do whatever work they do for that church.
Do you believe the scriptures? If you did, you would not be supporting harlot Church of Rome!Jesus Christ taught you can move mountains if you got the faith. Scripture could teach CLEARLY you can no longer do miracles in one bible verse, how is it you think God is so dumb he didn't write this down?
God is not the author of confusion. Why do you think God is an idiot? God is the smartest. If he wanted something taught clearly he would have had it written out clearly.
The problem is YOU DON'T BELIEVE the scriptures.
LOOK AT HOW MANY THING YOU SCRIBBLE IN.
Give us the bible verse that gives the teaching , if you don't have it then quit teaching lies.
