Are Christians missing out if they don't speak in tongues?

[Alabaster]

Then you cannot differentiate betweeen a false and true teacher of the Word.

I can READ Gods word for myself chap and use that to discern those who are preaching lies. We are to TEST ALL things, including what anyone asserts.

Good. Discernment comes from the Spirit of God. Now please stop calling me "chap".

Oh please. Every false teacher I cross says the same thing

Agreed,so maybe you should cut down yourself?

 

[radorth]

These believed that they WERE His, but for all their supposed miraculous acts they WERENT.
No claims are being made, but it is peculiar to see that the way that these folks DEFENDED themselves was by the their exhibiting the SIGN gifts, as tho that was some sort of evidence that they were Christs.

Since I would consider it arrogant to point to anything but the blood, I won't worry.

The only thing worse than pointing to sign gifts would be to point out you made one convert to your pre-trib theory.

And this is your best refutation ?

Please. Dont waste your time with tribulation timing. There is NO valid evidence for a PRE trib 'rapture'.

And that really bothers me, friend

Well - you are a follower of something - but Christ it isn't.

... and then the children went back to beating little ants with their tiny sticks...

Good luck guys - hope you enjoy your excursion to the flesh - whatever either of you have it is not the real thing.

Best,

Oh please. Try this with someone else whom it may have some meaning. ;)

Hey Anth, try following the words in your siggy please; show some integrity and treat others with some respect for their humanity. :bigfrown

 

[radorth]

not in YOUR mind because you have convinced yourself and cannot see anything beyond what your doctrine will allow you to see.

Hmmm

OK, my bad. Make that:

"The only thing worse than pointing to your sign gifts would be pointing to your one post-trib convert."

Maybe not, but we know what goes on and can't go on in your church.

I notice you didn't deny anything on my list.

No, Im afraid you dont.
You can only assume you know.

Yeah....that means something ;)
Maybe you can show me this list again ?

Ahh, they are finally realize they have no good counter arguments!

But seriously, it is true. We could talk about tongues until the cows come home and still stick to the position we originally held before the debates.

I believe there are Evangelicals still that re: "Obama is a Muslim" (about 20% I have heard).... and re: Iraq was involved with Al Quaida...

Yup, people will believe what they want rather then be honest re: what is...

 

[Alabaster]

...which is why the topic changes to another contentious issue--the Rapture!
