Quote (gollamudi @ June 29 2008,15:56)So believe at least prophecy is there because you hate people who speak in tongues. Do you think that 1 Cor 14 and 12th are not in the Bible?I agree that they had a purpose then…But there is no need for prophesy..because all of GOD's prophecys are in and explained by his word the bible…remember..Paul said…[Read more]

Quote (gollamudi @ June 29 2008,15:52)Hi brother DK,Thanks for you response. I believe what is written in Rev 3:1, 5:6 and also Is 11:1-3 that they are the seven Spirits of God which are seven (complete or fullness what also you say) spirits of His complete power . As per Rev 5:6 Jesus now possessing these seven Spirits of God that means he is…[Read more]

TO add…If you remember the Corinth congregation had more of these gifts than any other congregation…it got to the point where they were “showing off” their gifts, especially speaking in tongues, instead of edifying those around…Thats why Paul prophesied what he did at 13:13..and why he wrote what he did in the 14th Chapter…read this..it…[Read more]

Quote (gollamudi @ June 29 2008,15:26)Hi DK,It is later to 1 Cor 13:13 if you don't accept word of God as it is and you only take what is appealing to you then you are in missing some thing wonderful.Please take careAdamYes but the 14th ch was simply to show the Corinth congregation why speaking in tongues was not that big a deal when compared…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ June 29 2008,10:27)Hi, It has long been claimed by many that salvation requires only faith. No obedience but only some sort of a decision based on knowledge.It seems foreign to the way of Jesus decribed in the Acts of the apostles.This idea needs discussion in a thread of it's own.   Does God accept that it is enough just to…[Read more]

And for the record…the reason Jesus will say, “get away from you workers of lawlessness”…is because their heart condition was bad and they were not truly for Jesus…Notice this scripture.. this is what is promised for those who are FOR Jesus…Mark 9:37-41..37″Whoever welcomes one of these little children in my name welcomes me; and whoever…[Read more]

Quote (gollamudi @ June 29 2008,15:06)Amen to that post my brother 942767. You are right on telling importance of gifts of the Holy Spirit. If any one does not believe 1 Cor 12 chapter then he doesn't have the power of God's Spirit working in him. They are for the edification of the body of Christ that is the church of believers. As long as the…[Read more]
