“ I Support Ron Paul for President ”
Ron Paul will eliminate:
1. Department of Education – He would leave education up to the States.
2. Federal Reserve – This Central Bank is neither “federal” nor a “reserve.” It is enriching the national and international banks, while we pay higher prices every year. He would abolish this institution once and for all. Many argue that this institution is the biggest scam pulled over the eyes of the American people, and the main cause of inflation in the U. S. economy.
3. CIA - A secretive organization that's allegedly been controlled by elitists and occultists for decades - without much Congressional oversight. Shouldn't intelligence be strictly a military issue any way?!
4. Medicaid/Medicare - Taking care of the people who are currently depending upon it, while working to end these programs altogether.
6. Social Security - Those who've paid into it over the years will get their money, but the new generation can opt out of the system - leave it altogether - with the goal of shutting down the program for good.
He will pull us OUT of the United Nations, the International Criminal Court (ICC), NAFTA, GATT, WTO, and CAFTA, hich are a threat to our independence as a nation. They transfer power from our government to unelected foreign elites. |

BFoxx77 - I notice that you have not even one scripture to back up your OPINION. You see, that's what it is - an unbiblical opinion. You actually say that because the Bible is now written, the church doesn't need the gifts of the Holy Ghost. That's extraordinary fiction. It shows that you maybe haven't read I Corinthians 12, 13& 14. The King James was originally written at 1611. Hallelujah! It is the BEST English translation. So, does that mean that all of the gifts were good for the church until 1611? Hogwash! The Bible, as a collection of books, does not replace the nine gifts of the Holy Ghost. Actually, the gifts are there to confirm the Word of God to the believer and unbeliever alike - as well as to edify the believer and be a sign to the unbeliever. Do what I did. Ask God to show reveal the truth to you. Ask Him, "Lord if the gifts are for me today, then I want them. If they're not, then keep me from them." I've seen so many miracles. God is so faithful to confirm His Word. |

•1600s - The French Prophets: The Camisards also spoke sometimes in languages that were unknown: "Several persons of both Sexes," James Du Bois of Montpellier recalled, "I have heard in their Extasies pronounce certain words, which seem'd to the Standers-by, to be some Foreign Language." These utterances were sometimes accompanied by the gift of interpretation exercised, in Du Bois' experience, by the same person who had spoken in tongues. [5]
•1600s - Early Quakers, such as Edward Burrough, make mention of tongues speaking in their meetings: "We spoke with new tongues, as the Lord gave us utterance, and His Spirit led us" [6].
•1800s - Edward Irving and the Catholic Apostolic Church. Edward Irving, a minister in the Church of Scotland, writes of a woman who would "speak at great length, and with superhuman strength, in an unknown tongue, to the great astonishment of all who heard, and to her own great edification and enjoyment in God" [7]. Irving further stated that "tongues are a great instrument for personal edification, however mysterious it may seem to us."
•Early Pentecostalism - Earliest Pentecostals believed that their speaking in tongues really was xenoglossia[8]. |

150 AD - Justin Martyr refers to tongues-speaking as practiced in his day in his Dialogue with Trypho, "If you want proof that the Spirit of God who was with your people and left you to come to us, come into our assemblies and there you will see Him cast out demons, heal the sick and hear Him speak in tongues and prophesy."
before 200 AD - Iranaeus in his treatise "Against Heresies" speaks of those "who through the Spirit speak all kinds of languages."[1]
circa 200 AD - Tertullian referred to the "interpretation of tongues" as a "sign", examples of which could be produced in his day "without any difficulty".[2]
circa 390 AD - Augustine of Hippo, in an exposition on Psalm 32, discusses a phenomenon contemporary to his time of those who "sing in jubilation", singing the praises of God not in their own language, but in a manner that "may not be confined by the limits of syllables" [3].
1100s - Hildegard of Bingen spoke and sang in tongues. Her spiritual songs were referred to by contemporaries as "concerts in the Spirit."
1300s - The Moravians are referred to by detractors as having spoken in tongues. John Roche, a contemporary critic, claimed that the
Moravians "commonly broke into some disconnected Jargon, which they often passed upon the vulgar, 'as the exub |

I'm not a "Charismatic". I'm a KJV-only, pre-millenial, sola scriptura Pentecostal. I believe in holiness. I am building up my "most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost." Jude 20The Apostle Paul wrote not about a "personal prayer language", but of the gift of tongues (for congregational purposes), tongues in which someone of another language understands AND about praying & singing in tongues for personal edification. These are three different things. The Gift is to give a message from God to the congregation or individual - to be followed by the Gift of Interpretation. Praying/singing in Tongues is for the edification of the one praying/singing - his "spirit speaking mysteries unto God." Why do certain people, who say they take the Bible literally, not do so on this one issue. They are basing their doctrine on their own lack of personal experience and faulty Bible exegesis.
All of the gifts of the Holy Ghost, as mentioned in I Corinthians 12, 13 & 14 are for the Church today. There's not one Scripture in which God or the Apostles say that God took away ANY of the gifts from the Church. This is why there are so many defeated,sick and tired Christians who are IGNORANT of the giftings that the Holy Ghost wishes them to use powerfully for the sake of the gospel. |

Tongues in church history
Twentieth century Pentecostalism was not the earliest instance of "speaking in tongues" in church history. There were antecedents in several centuries of the Christian era, e.g.
-150 AD - Justin Martyr refers to tongues-speaking as practiced in his day in his Dialogue with Trypho, "If you want proof that the Spirit of God who was with your people and left you to come to us, come into our assemblies and there you will see Him cast out demons, heal the sick and hear Him speak in tongues and prophesy."
-before 200 AD - Iranaeus in his treatise "Against Heresies" speaks of those "who through the Spirit speak all kinds of languages."[1]
-circa 200 AD - Tertullian referred to the "interpretation of tongues" as a "sign", examples of which could be produced in his day "without any difficulty".[2]
-circa 390 AD - Augustine of Hippo, in an exposition on Psalm 32, discusses a phenomenon contemporary to his time of those who "sing in jubilation", singing the praises of God not in their own language, but in a manner that "may not be confined by the limits of syllables" [3].
-1100s - Hildegard of Bingen spoke and sang in tongues. Her spiritual songs were referred to by contemporaries as "concerts in the Spirit."
