    Speaking in tongues is NOT a gift

    If one is "in a trance" when speaking in tongues, then the manifestation is satanic in nature, not God given. (it happens). The Gift of tongues from the holy spirit, is simply a flow of words into a person's MIND from the Holy Spirit, which they then SPEAK, as long as they flow in. When the...

    Speaking in tongues is NOT a gift

    Meaningless. Provide clarification.

    Speaking in tongues is NOT a gift

    That's the typical "All or nothing" cessationist reasoning.

    Speaking in tongues is NOT a gift

    In our Assembly of God church in Duncanville, TX, Gifts such as tongues/interpretation/Prophesy are only allowed by agreement with the Sr.Pastor, who normally does any interpretation that is required - of course it's a BIG church (5-600) so I guess they do that to prevent confusion. I recall a...

    Speaking in tongues is NOT a gift

    No need to be "polite" it's not anything to be "Sensitive" about, y'all. Just a normal part of the Spirit Filled life (to use Pentecostal vernacular). I've "spoken in tongues" for 49 years. NEVER was burdened to deliver a "Message in tongues" to a group, so in answer to Paul's "Ministry...

    Speaking in tongues is NOT a gift

    Nothing but more silly religious "Word games"!!! Sure the Spirit is a "gift", just like being Born Again. AND the "Charisma" are gifts also - i.e. YOU didn't EARN 'em, and unless the Holy Spirit "gifts you" by supplying with the words to speak "Prophesy", Interpret, Speak in tongues...

    I’m in a strange place: very conservative, but not Christian

    Standard agnostic rhetoric. Nothing more - excuses, and rationalizations. I'm pretty sure you ALREADY KNOW God's there, and that HE wants something of you, that you don't really want to give Him.

    I’m in a strange place: very conservative, but not Christian

    SO like I said, you're just another Agnostic, who doesn't know WHAT to believe. I used to be one myself - until God brought me up short one evening in Houston 59 years ago.

    It would also be illegal. "Religious considerations" are disqualified form both congressional and legal decisions. What the individual "justices" base their opinions on is their own business. It surprised me that they sent up that "Test Balloon" before publishing their Roe v Wade turn around...

    I’m in a strange place: very conservative, but not Christian

    It's interesting here, and the arguments are generally of the same overall quality.

    I’m in a strange place: very conservative, but not Christian

    SO much for the "Science community". Belief (mental assent) has no substance, and is evidence of nothing (except how you feel at the time). In practical terms it's completely untrustworthy, and changes with the phase of the moon. FAITH (Biblical faith) on the other hand HAS Substance, and...

    I’m in a strange place: very conservative, but not Christian

    Wrong again. I can't prove "Gravity", But it proves itself by being there. Drop your cell phone, and there it is. Gravity isn't "MY Claim" - it's just there. GOD isn't "my claim" He's just there whether you happen to believe that or not. HE is the one that will "Prove Himself", not me. If...

    I’m in a strange place: very conservative, but not Christian

    Actually the "Burden of Proof" isn't on "Christians" at all. NOBODY comes to Christ except they be "Drawn to Him" by God (John 6:44). The simple fact that you're here, and that you're concerned about Him at all indicates that He's working in your life. I'd ask Him about that. When He comes...

    I’m in a strange place: very conservative, but not Christian

    You're apparently a common normal spiritually unregenerate person - an "agnostic" as it were. Nothing unusual at all. Your solution is to be Born Again of the Holy Spirit, so that you can SEE what the "Spiritual side" of it is all about. OR you can stay in spiritual death, and suffer the...

    What's the weather like where you are?

    In Dallas it's 108 today. Gonna be that way for the next two weeks.

    Can SCOTUS overturn gay marriage next?

    There was NO "LEAK". it was an intentional "Test balloon" to gage public reaction.

    Equal to Christ!

    AND satan's best JOKE!!!! Just imagine the poor Catholic who dies and winds up in "Purgatory", but then realizes it's HELL, and they're NEVER getting out!!!!

    OSAS Can Sin all you Want

    Chuckle!!! That's a true statement. of course the "control" on that is if you're Born Again, then you won't WANT to sin, so even though you won't be perfect, when you DO sin, we have an advocate when we confess our sin. A Baptist pastor once said that you can get saved and live however you...
