Hey everyone, I couldn't come with a better topic title lol. I have several questions that are all over the map. I hope that these questions are clear to understand.
1. Did speaking in tongues occur at all before Pentecost?
2. How can someone act as a Interpreter for someone else that is speaking in tongues (1 cor 14:27-28)?
3. What are the marks of a false church?
4. I have heard from some church members and others over the years that Jesus will have the mark of the nails in his hands and side for all eternal. Is this true or mere speculation? Is it Biblical as far as scripture-based?
5. What does the apostle paul mean in 1 Tim. 2:12 "I do not allow a woman to teach or to have authority over a man; instead she is to be silent"? Does this mean a woman can't be a pastor? In referring to this question, I have heard both arguments (Complementarianism and egalitarianism). Personally, I am in limbo about this question. I don't have a personal opinion.
6. Does God have one specific person for you to marry (idea of a soulmate)?
7. In regards to Matthew 24:36... Did Jesus not know the time of his coming while on earth but does he now know since he is glorified, exalted at the right hand of the father?
8. Will we see the trinity depicted in heaven?
9. Where was Jesus for the three days between his death and resurrection?
1. Did speaking in tongues occur at all before Pentecost?
No, Tounges were for the purpose of all the hears to understand what was being taught as the early church was being developed and the toungues were understandible by those who spoke a real launguage not some heavenly jibberish.
A greater question is have you mastered love?
8Love never fails. But if there are prophecies, they will be done away with; if there are languages, they will cease; if there is knowledge, it will be brought to an end. 9For our knowledge is imperfect, and so is our prophesying; 10but when the perfect state of things is come, all that is imperfect will be brought to an end. 11When I was a child, I talked like a child, felt like a child, reasoned like a child: when I became a man, I put from me childish ways.
1Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal. 2And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. 3And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body �to be burned, but have not love, it profits me nothing.
2. How can someone act as a Interpreter for someone else that is speaking in tongues (1 cor 14:27-28)? Just like today a interpreter is needed when you have multiple luanguages. One would have to know the language to interpet. Since the men who would be preaching only knew one language. The Spirit would translate his words into those who are hearing language. This was a special occasion in penticost. as the church developed and those with differing luanguage joined together differing speakers would speak and Paul is simply saying if their is no one to interpet then be silent. Whats the point in speaking what no one can understand?
To make these statements would be to say one does not know love.
"Holding- Do you actually believe that God chooses certain people to be saved and the rest that he didn't choose well too bad for them!!!??? So what about Free-will. So that means if I wasnt " one of the chosen" then if I came to the Lord later in life then too d for me bc I was not chosen from the beginning. That is what reformed( Calvinist) believe!! The whole TULIP idea made up by man not Gods Word!!"
Aren't you forgetting something? All have sinned and fallen short. Where in that do you see men deserve salvation? The minute you start saying that grace is something God should be obliged to give, you have lost grace. It is not longer grace. What about free will? Men hate God...so free will sends people to hell. You don't want free will. You want grace.
As to your last sentence...Surely you know that the trinity is a man made label on what Christians believe to be a biblical truth. It is a way to describe what you believe....so your point there falls on deaf ears

This is your doctrine remember this is a bible forum, not a doctrine of men's forum, the bible does not teach what you want other's to swallow.

0to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another the discernment of spirits, to another various kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues 1Corth 12:10
Sometimes one doesn't know exactly what to pray for but our Spirit knows that is why I pray in tongues.
26 Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness; for we do not know how to pray as we ought, but that very Spirit intercedes* with sighs too deep for words. 27And God,* who searches the heart, knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit* intercedes for the saints according to the will of God.* Romans8:26
The father is no respector of person's and he is not a man that he should lie and any teaching that leaves any man or woman out is of error, all are chosen.
Believing in a generator is not trusting in Jesus but the word's of men.
It is nothing but a very bold lie to say man can not have faith after the fall, and that no man seeks after God.
I didn't say no man seeks God...the bible did haha.
I'm not sure where a generator came about in all of this either.
God is no respecter of person...correct.
Maybe you should try a much longer nap this time. Those of you who criticize Calvinism...It may benefit you more to know what you are criticizing, lest you look ignorant.

This is nothing but a bold lie and display of the flesh glorifying itself.
The bible does not say men do not seek God that is a twist of reformed theology.
So do your due diligence and show us where the bible says no man seeks after God.
I didn't say no man seeks God...the bible did haha.
*** I'm not here to argue about anything...that is betwix HOH & PJ...I am here to share Scripture that confirms Truth in the Word found in the Bible...
Jeremiah 29:13 ~ And ye shall [[[ seek ]]] Me and find Me when ye shall search for Me with all your heart.
*** Jeremiah is a Prophet of GOD...a Prophet of GOD speaks for GOD...
Jesus the LORD speaking here ~
Matthew 7:7 ~ "Ask, and it shall be given you; [[[ seek, ]]] and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you.
Luke 11:9 ~ And I say unto you: ask, and it shall be given you; [[[ seek, ]]] and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you.
*** Jesus is "the" SON of GOD...ifin He says [[[ seek ]]] and it is in the Bible and the Bible is GOD's word to man/women and the Scriptures can not be broken as Jesus says...then...the Bible says man "seeks"...xo
