So far I just have opinions and assumptions and most of what was in the OP is not even addressed!

Are you asking me to show you in scripture men are called today? How can I show you if it is not recorded in the Word? Can you explain Eph. 4 in context?

This thread is not to discuss whether the manifestation of the Spirit has ceased...that is another thread... nowhere in scriptures does it say they have yet...not until we know as we are known or see face to face. This is to discuss if apostles are still here and prove they are or are not by...

Well as most understand an apostle means one sent by God. I see apostles here until the entire church comes into unity. They are a gift given to equip the church to maturity. They equip the church with a foundation teaching. I can only find in scritpture that to qualify for an apostle...

So Eph. 4:11 does not apply today or are those apostles different too?

I tried to search the forum for a thread that discussed the apotles and could not find one. I have been researching information about them in scripture and have come up with the following...Just would like some thoughts on what I have come up with so far... I have heard many assumptions about...

I believe Both!

God is still able to do what He said He can do! He has not lost one ounce of power! I wish people would get fustrated..enough to change their way of thinking to God's way of thinking!

This is where it gets good... The two parties in this blood covenant is Jesus! This is why Satan could not figure out what was going on. Jesus represented both covenant heads. Jesus is called both the son of man and the Son of God in Scriptures. Jesus is the God/man. He was fully God and fully man.

Yes! I do believe that the Great Commision is passed on to all! The apostles were addressed in that scripture and told to go and preach! THe ones that believe their preaching (those that believe and are baptized) those signs will follow them! Those signs did follow the believers all through Acts!

Jesus established an everlasting blood covenant at his crucifixion-by shedding His blood and being resurrected from the dead. First, there is the animal sacrifice and the spilling of sacrificial blood. Second, there is the cut of the covenant where each participant spills his own blood on...

Interesting study about the blood covenant. Understanding the "blood covenant" has helped open up a lot of scriptures... Even outside of scriptures to see how tribes and others used it as a binding/union between two tribes...very interesting! A blood covenant is the union of two parties into...

THat was going to be my question...what good works is he talking about? The works that Jesus did is the works that we are to be doing after salvation.

Our God is a covenant God! He keeps His covenants! Once we understand the "blood covenant" we will have a better understanding of what really happen on that cross!

It is not just Pentecostals that still believe..you find in almost every denomination now... some that believe in the manifestation of the Holy Spirit and speaking in Tongues...
