Quote You have not shown the Spirit is now impotent.No I haven't. Why would I? It's not “impotent.”Nick, you have not stated what the word “verified” means.Quote Acts 2″ 38Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy…[Read more]

Quote Quit promoting cults, denominations, and men.T8, I have never promoted “cults” “denominations” or “men.”The question someone asked on this thread was: “Is celebrating Christmas or easter ok?”If you, like some, think it is not worthy of discussion, then don't discuss.Quote You can make yourself and your organisation look good when you…[Read more]

Nick, how do you perceive the word “verified”?What does that word indicate to you?

Quote Hi david,Just for a time you say but cannot find it written?Quote please.(I'm sorry. I'm just being Nick-like, and since you accused me of saying something that isn't written, I'd like you to quote where I actually said that, just for fun.)

Yes, it is silly. But, being that the least amount of people work on Sundays (at least, where most live, as far as I can tell) it is a good day for doing non-work type things, including “not forsaking the gathering of ourselves together, as some have the custom.” (Heb 10:24) It is a good day for meeting together with fellow worshippers for…[Read more]

Quote It is written that the Spirit no longer does works of power?No, it is not.

I will answer this more properly, but for now, I'm just going to quote something that I have already put down in the “speaking in tongues” thread:In the first century, the miraculous gifts of the spirit, including the ability to “speak in tongues,” verified that God’s favor had shifted from the 1500 year old Jewish system of worship to the newly…[Read more]

And he sent forth his angel and presented in signs through him to his slave J…[Read more]

Quote When I was born again I was zealous to share my testimony with whoever would listen, and I lost a couple of jobs because of that zeal, Hi 94. Yes, I have met many “born again's” when I was knocking on their door, when I made the effort and went to them. They do have a zeal and every single one of them that I've talked to has told me they'd…[Read more]

Quote “Yes…”T8, you missed my point. But by answering it in the affirmative as any sane person would, you show Nick's reasoning to be false. Thankyou.

Just looking at Wickipedia.It seems there are about 50,000 “missionaries” in this church.If I remember correctly, there are about 12 million Mormons in the world.Does this mean that at any given time, only 1 in about 240 think that their message is important enough to take to others?Or am I misunderstaning this?Also, 'Single men serve missions for…[Read more]
