    Does the Holy Spirit move after Acts?

    Yeah, what you say is true. There is no Scripture that backs up their doctrine, only twisted verses like a Jehovah's witness. These are dark times we live in when Christians deny the power. Satan has been confusing God's people for too long, we have to pray harder for them. God has blinded...

    Does the Holy Spirit move after Acts?

    You said we are to believe in the Apostles and these signs will follow. Ask your self don't the apostles believe, so why would this be said? It's suppose to be passed down. You also said that only the Apostles would see these signs, not other christians, though many christians have, EVEN in our...

    Does the Holy Spirit move after Acts?

    Wow, another twist to add to everything. So if we believe the teaching of the apostles we can cast out demons? I'm afraid I will believe in Jesus and cast out demons in His name only. Though, the apostles are good role models but not the best(Jesus). Butch you never replied to my reply 2...

    Does the Holy Spirit move after Acts?

    Also, your "suggestion" would also state that the apostles didn't believe when they were clearly already doing these things. Again, I've seen the sick healed and demons cast out so why would somebody like me ever think otherwise?

    Does the Holy Spirit move after Acts?

    =D I never read it that way, and won't ever see it that way. We'll continue to agree to disagree brother. The way I read it is, "them that believe" them = those who believe...simple! God wasn't trying to confuse the world when He inspired the Word. He is not a confusing God and has made known...

    Does the Holy Spirit move after Acts?

    Before I get into the meat of the message, I'll explain personal prophecy. Say a man walks up to you and says, "God told me such and such", "and if you don't ____". Or just one that has happened to me. I was talking to a guy then God told me his back was in pain and that he'd be healed. So I...

    Does the Holy Spirit move after Acts?

    You had said earlier that each time it says "last days" that is said the signs and wonders were evil. The other verses also say that the "gift of the Holy Spirit is for all people and those afar off." You'd agree the fruit of the Spirit is still around? Just not the gifts? All the gifts are from...

    “‘In the last days, God says, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, your old men will dream dreams. 18Even on my servants, both men and women, I will pour out my Spirit in those days, and they will prophesy...

    Does the Holy Spirit move after Acts?

    Considering everything else wasn't metaphorical, why would we take that sentence fragment and make it metaphorical? Though, a lot of times serpents are used to describe demons. I still believe it's literal though. The seventy returned with joy, saying, “Lord, even the demons are subject to...

    Does the Holy Spirit move after Acts?

    14 What good is it, my brothers and sisters, if someone claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can such faith save them? 15 Suppose a brother or a sister is without clothes and daily food. 16 If one of you says to them, “Go in peace; keep warm and well fed,†but does nothing about their...

    Does the Holy Spirit move after Acts?

    It's like this rrowell, either you are grieving the Holy Spirit and calling blasphemy on all the works that are done through Christians, or I and the other Christians all around the world are liars. How can you be so blind?

    Does the Holy Spirit move after Acts?

    "What causes fights and quarrels among you? Don’t they come from your desires that battle within you? 2 You desire but do not have, so you kill. You covet but you cannot get what you want, so you quarrel and fight. You do not have because you do not ask God. 3 When you ask, you do not receive...

    Does the Holy Spirit move after Acts?

    O' ye of little faith. Always looking for a sign just as a perverse generation does. Just because you don't see doesn't mean God can't or won't do it. Asking somebody to drink a deadly cup or pick up a deadly snake is really "testing the Lord". We've been told not to test the Lord thy God...

    Does the Holy Spirit move after Acts?

    Why do you think it's only the Apostles and those around them who were baptized in the HS? Next question: Who wrote the NT? So you wonder why all the stories are about what the apostles saw, its because they are the ones writing it. Just because you don't read about it in future tense...

    What are you asking God for?

    "You desire and do not have, so you murder. You covet and cannot obtain, so you fight and quarrel. You do not have, because you do not ask. " James 4:2 With an attitude like you have.. you've humbled me :) I'll be praying for you and know God will answer as He wants His glory to shine...

    [__ Prayer __] I'm alone in another country

    I'm very encouraged to have run into another evangelist. I can see your point, but the problem is how you delivered that question, "are you born again". I am in a Roman Catholic country which is very much lost as most aren't sealed with the Holy Spirit. When you use the word "born again" they...

    I just used the same phrase with rrowell "round and round" without noticing your post haha.

    Does the Holy Spirit move after Acts?

    It doesn't matter what Scripture I give you. rrowel, you and I have been round and round and it's getting us no where. By no means do I want to offend you. Though when you read the Bible, don't you understand that it's only by faith which we are saved? Faith being how we enter the Kingdom, how...
