Evidence for God from Science

1.) Since Israel is the OT Church, then the role of NT and OT Prophecy are the same. Both are inspired by God (see 2 Peter 1:19-21 for a NT example), and therefore are inerrant, infallible, and authoritative. Besides, the Pentecostal outpouring itself was a fulfillment of Joel's OT Prophecy concern...

No, we are not. The Apostles were in the "last days", ie. the last days before God's Judgment upon Old Covenant Israel. Indeed, this is verified by Peter in Acts, who says that "this (Day of Pentecost) is what was spoken by the prophet Joel:" (Acts 2:16), and then proceeds to qu...

With all due respect, I have to disagree, and the issue is no small matter (having been in the charismatic camp myself at one time). If you are referring to the revelational gifts (and you do seem to point out tongues and prophecy in particular), they have ceased as proven by the following: 1.) Ton...

When Jesus returns in the last days, He is going to present the church to Himself without spot or wrinkle (Eph. 5:27 NASU). If that is the case, then the church must have spots and wrinkles right now. God is going to equip us to do our own laundry. He will extend His grace and truth to us so that we...

As a former Charismatic who has become Reformed, I have a few questions for my "tongues speaking" and "prophecying" brothers. 1.) What ever happened to the "gift of tongues" involving earthly languages (See Acts 2:5-6)? The same is true with the Gentiles in Acts 10:45-...

Also in September 2005, Kaduri said: "The Messiah is already in Israel. Whatever people are sure will not happen is liable to happen, and whatever we are certain will happen may disappoint us. But in the end, there will be peace throughout the world." . Yes, I was reading that the other d...

When asked what would be the sign of His return Jesus stated more than any other that it would be marked with deception in the church. Currently we have the Emergent, Seeker Friendly, Social Gospel, Ecumenical, Prosperity movements gaining ground. We even have Oprah starting her new network, which ...

It would certainly be a sign to confirm the genuine nature, of the other two. Please comment (give your interpretation) on 1Cor. 14:2,4 "For one who speaks in a tongue does not speak to men but to God; for no one understands, but in his spirit he speaks mysteries. 4 One who speaks in a tongue ...

I have absolutely no problem with the Holy Spirit causing men to speak in tongues. Each account we have of tongues in teh scriptures had a very specific and intentional purpose. As do all of God's actions. And if you have an testimony of it happening in accordance with Acts 2, I'm more than willing...

People think the devil will come in the music of Black Sabbath or Witchcraft, or these obvious evils that we see. I assure you he will not. He will come as a counterfeit to what God is doing. He will come to set up his Kingdom. And he will do it with false signs and wonders. No doubt that some of w...

First off, let me say that the baptism in Jesus Christ is the "cake" (salvation). It is necessary. The baptism in the Holy Spirit is the "icing on the cake". It is not necessary for salvation, but it makes it more fun. I believe that it is for today's Christians. The topic is &q...

Also in September 2005, Kaduri said: "The Messiah is already in Israel. Whatever people are sure will not happen is liable to happen, and whatever we are certain will happen may disappoint us. But in the end, there will be peace throughout the world." Matt 24:23-25 23 "Then if anyone ...

I don't think I would go as far as to say they are satanic. They believe in Jesus Christ. No matter how "strange" their beliefs are, they are still saved. Don't you agree? I'm not about to debate you on Mormonism because I don't have a clue but I do know the Bible puts only one criteria o...

Hello to the posters on this thread. I just signed up a few days ago, so please bear with me if I make mistakes. Let me say that I have been a Christian for many years. I realize that Glenn Beck is a Mormon. I know that Mormonism is a cult and that the Mormon "Jesus" is NOT the Biblical Je...

Hello, My name is Alan. I found this discussion forum not too long ago. After reading the "About Us", "Beliefs" and "Beliefs (other)" pages, I decided to register. My interest was piqued after reading the posts in the "Question about the "rapture" or lack...
