Dear brother,

Will you also be posting Rev. Stewart's upcoming debate on the Doctrines of Grace?

[FirebrandNIRE]

If I can.

I'll probably try and upload Rev. Stewart's debate on the issue of Exclusive psalmody time permitting.

A good book disproving the charismatic nonsense is "The Charismatics And The Word Of God". It was written by Victor Budgen. You can get it at the trinityfoundation dot org.

Visit my channel page and watch my videos on Calvinism.

[FirebrandNIRE]

I'll check it out

Cheers!

I love the Protestant Reformed Churches. They are solid Calvinists!

I live in Kingsport, Tennessee, the P.R.C. are mainly found up north in Michigan. Even so, I have had several of their elders come and preach in my house and town. I miss them dearly.

Angus Stewart is my Pastor here Northern Ireland.

I'm an Ex- Pentecostal, and have been for the good part of 14-15 years now.

Thanks for your comment.

The problem with the white guest's position is that the Bible does not teach that the Bible replaced the 'extraordinary gifts' nor does it divide gifts into ordinary and extraordinary categories.

[gladmenarenotGod]

The True Gifts of the Holy Spirit are 7 and listed in Romans 12: 5-8 KJV and God will Judge us by these 7 Gifts Amos 9:7, Matthew 25: 34-46.

What we see in 1 Corinthians 12 are MANIFESTATION of the Spirit. These are SIGNS used by God to Authenticate His Church. Its like "Splitting of the Red Sea" we do not COVET the splitting of the Red sea, which is Idolatory and Tempting God, God controles this Signs. 1 Cor 10 warns!! The 7 Gifts of the Spirit in Rmans 12: 5-8 are services acceptable to God.

1 see a valley of BONES. We Cannot debate on God's Truth. Both of these men are wrong and Deadly.

The 7 Gifts of the Holy Spirit are listed in Romans 12: 5-8. What's listed in 1 Corinthians 12 are the "Manifestation" of the Spirit. Read this in the KJV. Manifestation is "SIGN" controlled by God. We Must not seek after signs the Lord said an evil and adultrous generation seek after signs which is IDOLATORY. The Lord gave us a whole Chapter of Warning against seeking after Signs in 1 Cor 10 KJV.

And if the gifts of the Spirit require the laying on of hands, how do you explain the Spirit falling on the household of Cornelius? 44While Peter yet spake these words, the Holy Ghost fell on all them which heard the word. 45And they of the circumcision which believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because that on the Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the Holy Ghost.

[daBlackBaron13]

Those who deny the gifts of the spirit: how do you reconcile this belief with the prophecy in Revelations concerning the two witnesses? If signs and wonders are passed away from all (and not just in those in whom *faith* has been made perfect) how will they perform the signs and wonders ascribed to them?

Are you going to say that this has already happened? I'm a believer in a historicist interpretation of Revelations, but I can find no place in history where anyone has fit the bill.

jesus loves me yes i know for the bible tells me so,

[yari718]

im pentecostal my whole life but i was always against slain in the spirit

[havock89]

Well said. As a Roman Catholic christian. I agree with you 100%

Christ is who we are called to emulate. Pope included.

"How many anti-christs are we gonna get then?" havock89

There are many antichrists in the world and have been since Jesus' time. Most people confuse the term antichrist with the beast in Rev 13. Many call the pope the antchrist meaning the beast of Revelation.

I do not believe this is historically accurate. Nero was the beast.
