I do believe Him. I don't believe your interpretation.
Are you serious??? for his glory knows more than you ever will.
It has nothing to do with any church whether it be denomination or non-denomination. It is about those who God uses to work through. Did Jesus broadcast of the signs and wonders He has done while here on earth going about saying hey look at me and what I can do, no, so why should we boast of the signs and wonders God's Spirit works through those He chooses to work through.
I realize you are a Cessationalist and believe their teachings on this to be true that the gifts have ceased, but we have shown you many many times through scripture and that of our own testimonies as we witness and testify of the power of God.
That is the point as we can do nothing of our self as all is done by the power and authority of God who works in us and through us for His purpose.
Are you changing your mind now as you did not believe that before.
I have already answered that, but all you want to do is argue and prove only you have all truth. No one can discuss with someone who has their ears closed to hear what others are saying. These are not debates, nor arguments, but trying to discuss. Why do you evade our questions and then expect us to answer yours.
Nothing is implied in Hebrews 2:3 except you reading into that verse something that is not there. Many things are confirmed to us, not by the Apostles, but by Christ alone who gave to the Apostles to write. I already told you those verses are a warning against neglecting salvation.
Heb 2:3 How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them that heard him;
Heb 2:4 God also bearing them witness, both with signs and wonders, and with divers miracles, and gifts of the Holy Ghost, according to his own will?
I have posted this before and will do so again...
I was a serious atheist in my 30s. I had serious debates with a pastor who used to visit us, trying to show her how delusional she and other believers in God were. Then I was hospitalized with a severe asthma attack; the doctors couldn't break the spasm. The pastor came to my hospital room, read Matthew 11:28-30, then prayed "Jesus, heal this man". The spasm broke immediately and I instantly knew that Jesus was my savior. All doubt and cynicism vanished in an instant. Again, and this bears repeating, I was an atheist! I was not looking for salvation; I thought it was all nonsense.
People can discuss whether the gifts are real or not " 'til the cows come home" but it's just theorizing. I know that His gifts are real and working "today".
BTW, a Christian friend visited me two days after I was saved and healed and asked me if I had received my prayer language yet. When I said that I hadn't, he told me to ask God for it and I immediately began speaking in tongues -- an unknown language -- which I do to this day.
People can deny that the NT gifts don't exist today, but I know better!

At that time of the Apostles in Acts 5 was the beginning of the commission Jesus gave them for then they were indwelled with the Holy Spirit in the upper room before they were sent out, plus all the 120 that were in the upper room that day.
Alfred Persson why are you so against the power of God healing others today. You should be rejoicing that He does heal others.
The good news of the Gospel.
Great post!
Amen brother as how can one deny that which they have seen and experienced themselves.
This was in reply to Alfred Perrson's post which asked "Which newspaper (news-scroll) reported the apostles' deeds?"
God is king of eternity, he was the only king in heaven back then. Jesus was appointed to a kingship( Daniel 7:13-15) He received the crown here at Rev 6. He must (1Cor 15:24-28)hand back the kingdom to his God and Father( end of Rev 20) and subject himself----- forever. YHWH is LORD of hosts= Jehovah of armies.
Jesus is with a single religion( 1Cor 1:10) not 34,000 of them--the rest are a divided house they will not stand. Jesus 1 religion is different from the others--He said they would be hated because they hated him first.
Yes many read the bible-thus-34,000 different religions claiming to be christian= a mass of confusion. One must be taught by the teachers who have Jesus, only they have truth. At the proper time.
I dont interpret anything. i believe Jesus who clearly tells all-John 17:3--the one who sent him= Father is THE ONLY TRUE GOD. All his true followers believe HIM. And at John 4:22-24 where Jesus warns of all others gods being false then says-The true followers will worship the Father in spirit and truth.
Friend, that is what you believe because the Society has hidden the truth from your eyes. Jesus is the Beginning and the End, the Alpha and the Omega, the very Word of God who verbalizes the thoughts of God making them concrete reality. For example:
"In the Beginning, God SAID let there be light", that was Jesus the WORD of God creating the light---by verbalizing God's thought.
That is revealed in the book of the revelation of Jesus Christ:
"I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End," says the Lord, "who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty." (Rev. 1:8 NKJ)
11 saying, "I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last," and, "What you see, write in a book and send it to the seven churches which are in Asia: to Ephesus, to Smyrna, to Pergamos, to Thyatira, to Sardis, to Philadelphia, and to Laodicea."
12 Then I turned to see the voice that spoke with me. And having turned I saw seven golden lampstands,
13 and in the midst of the seven lampstands One like the Son of Man, clothed with a garment down to the feet and girded about the chest with a golden band.
14 His head and hair were white like wool, as white as snow, and His eyes like a flame of fire;
15 His feet were like fine brass, as if refined in a furnace, and His voice as the sound of many waters;
16 He had in His right hand seven stars, out of His mouth went a sharp two-edged sword, and His countenance was like the sun shining in its strength.
17 And when I saw Him, I fell at His feet as dead. But He laid His right hand on me, saying to me, "Do not be afraid; I am the First and the Last. (Rev. 1:11-17 NKJ)
13 "I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End, the First and the Last."
14 Blessed are those who do His commandments, that they may have the right to the tree of life, and may enter through the gates into the city.
15 But outside are dogs and sorcerers and sexually immoral and murderers and idolaters, and whoever loves and practices a lie.
16 "I, Jesus, have sent My angel to testify to you these things in the churches. I am the Root and the Offspring of David, the Bright and Morning Star." (Rev. 22:13-16 NKJ)

The 144,000 you believe to be the only saved ... is a far cry from all men...
1Ti 4:10 For it is for this we labor and strive, because we have fixed our hope on the living God, who is the Savior of all men, especially of believers.
NASB Isa 46:10 Declaring the end from the beginning, And from ancient times things which have not been done, Saying, 'My purpose will be established, And I will accomplish all My good pleasure';
