For those deceiving and being deceived - I'll give just two FACTS:1. Apocrypha is defined as: "Biblical or related writings NOT forming part of the accepted canon of Scripture." (Even Google knows more about this than some commentators on this forum!) Question: Why would the early reformers and translators put these books between the testaments and call them "apocrypha" if they believed them to be scripture? They didn't believe them to be holy scripture. 2. Many KJB translators were subscribing, confessing members of the Church of England. Their thirty-nine articles, which they had to sign off as believing, stated plainly: "And the other Books (as Hierome saith) the Church doth read for example of life and instruction of manners; but yet doth it NOT apply them to establish any doctrine; such are these following," and then lists the apocryphal books. Again, this is FACT. Of course the KJB translators translated the apocrypha - who's disputing that? But the truth is that they did not consider them holy scripture. That's why they're called what they're called, and placed where they're place. Stop your deceiving and being deceived. |

Speaking of infidelity, how many of you have ever heard the "prince of preachers" comment on (I Thessalonians 4:13-18)?For those who haven't, let me give it to you. C.H. Spurgeon: "I hear some brethren rejoicing that perhaps the Lord will come, and that therefore they will not die. I would sooner die, had I my choice. I see no comfort in the hope of not dying. If I die not I shall have lost what thousands will have who die, namely, actual fellowship with Christ in the grave." Uh... could someone tell the "prince of preachers" that Christ is not in the grave?!!? The Catholics leave Jesus Christ on the cross and Spurgeon leaves him in the grave. The word of God: "Then we which are ALIVE and remain shall be CAUGHT UP together with them IN THE CLOUDS, to meet the Lord IN THE AIR: and so shall we ever be with THE LORD." |

I'm trying very hard to limit my postings. In fact, I haven't said anything in a couple of days (unless I am mistaken).But I just had to say, that wouldn't it be nice if Legion was now banned?!!? I can see from the several posts that have been removed that she and Bro Williams must've gotten pretty heated with each other. Wouldn't it be nice to not have to listen to her for awhile?!!? One can only pray that the SA editors would review some of her posts and do the right thing. Please! ____________________________________ Concerning the topic, here's what the Lord said: (Matthew 17:24-27): "And when they were come to Capernaum, they that received tribute money came to Peter, and said, Doth not your master pay tribute? He saith, Yes. And when he was come into the house, Jesus prevented him, saying, What thinkest thou, Simon? of whom do the kings of the earth take custom or tribute? of their own children, or of strangers? Peter saith unto him, Of strangers. Jesus saith unto him, Then are the children free. Notwithstanding, lest we should offend them, go thou to the sea, and cast an hook, and take up the fish that first cometh up; and when thou hast opened his mouth, thou shalt find a piece of money: that take, and give unto them for me and thee." |

Maybe we can talk about it more when I'm not falling asleep as I type!!!!I'd like to hear your further thoughts on the passage as well. Also, consider the lead-in to (Acts 19): (Acts 18:24-28): "And a certain Jew named Apollos, born at Alexandria, an eloquent man, and mighty in the scriptures, came to Ephesus. This man was instructed in the way of the Lord; and being fervent in the spirit, he spake and taught diligently the things of the Lord, knowing only the baptism of John. And he began to speak boldly in the synagogue: whom when Aquila and Priscilla had heard, they took him unto them, and expounded unto him the way of God more perfectly. And when he was disposed to pass into Achaia, the brethren wrote, exhorting the disciples to receive him: who, when he was come, helped them much which had believed through grace: For he mightily convinced the Jews, and that publickly, shewing by the scriptures that Jesus was Christ." |

Mike,People can believe and yet not be saved - true? For example, (I Corinthians 15) where Paul says: "... unless ye have BELIEVED in vain..." in reference to salvation. Therefore, since these 12 had never heard of the Holy Ghost, and since they obviously hadn't received the Holy Ghost, they ARE NOT saved (Romans 8:9). They had believed so far as John's baptism (that's what the passage SAYS), and even believing on Christ, but HAD NOT heard of nor received the Holy Spirit. When Paul gave them the further revelation of truth, they received that as well, receiving also the Holy Ghost in salvation. Honestly, I am way beyond having this conversation, after dealing with msc now for hours. I hope what I've given you helps. But if not, I'm just about done for the night. My apologies. PS, if they were saved before speaking with Paul - why did Paul re-baptize them?!!? |

msc,Alright... I've decided that you are either playing dumb or are too dumb to even understand what I'm saying. Listen closely, there is not one person in the Bible, who spoke in tongues, who wasn't EITHER an apostle or saved under an apostle. Do you understand that?!!? There are, however, people in the Bible who were saved, but who weren't saved under an apostle. Do you understand that?!!? So... those arguments are not the same arguments. And what this proves... by Bible example... is that no one ever spoke on tongues who wasn't EITHER an apostle or saved under an apostle... and until you can produce that evidence your OPINION doesn't account for a hill of beans! |

msc,Once again, those in (Acts 10 & Acts 19) were saved under apostles. So your answer would not be yes, but would be no. I mean, please read (Acts 10) and see if it wasn't the APOSTLE Peter's ministry and please read (Acts 19) and see if it wasn't the APOSTLE Paul's ministry!!!! Those speaking in tongues in (Acts 10 & Acts 19) were saved under an apostle's ministry. So again, can you show me one single person in the Bible who spoke in tongues who wasn't an apostle OR saved under an apostle?!!? And what does this prove? This proves... by example... that no one spoke in tongues who wasn't an apostle or saved under an apostle - that's what that proves!!!! Wow. |

msc said: "We could then ask: Are the only saved people those who heard the Apostles? Of course not."Come on msc. Were there any people saved in the Book of Acts, for example, who wasn't an apostle or saved under an apostle?!!? Come on. So... it's obviously NOT the same thing! Nice try though. |

(Acts 19:1-7): "And it came to pass, that, while Apollos was at Corinth, Paul having passed through the upper coasts came to Ephesus: and finding certain disciples, He said unto them, Have ye received the Holy Ghost since ye believed? And they said unto him, We have not so much as heard whether there be any Holy Ghost. And he said unto them, Unto what then were ye baptized? And they said, Unto John's baptism. Then said Paul, John verily baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying unto the people, that they should believe on him which should come after him, that is, on Christ Jesus. When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. And when Paul had laid his hands upon them, the Holy Ghost came on them; and they spake with tongues, and prophesied. And all the men were about twelve."My question would be: "Certain disciples of WHO?!!?" Obviously disciples of John the Baptist - having known only his baptism and being followers of his ministry. CR: (Matthew 9:14, 11:2, Mark 2:18, Luke 5:33, 7:18-19, 11:1, John 1:35, 3:25) Also, without having received the Holy Spirit, these disciples of John were not born again (Romans 8:9). So... they were THEN saved under Paul's ministry and THEN spoke in the sign gift of tongues. |

msc,Acts 10 and Acts 19 'eh?!!? I do believe that those speaking in tongues in Acts 10 were saved under the Apostle Peter's ministry and those speaking in tongues in Acts 19 were saved under the Apostle Paul's ministry. Like I said, can you show me someone who spoke in tongues who wasn't an apostle or saved under an apostle? PS, from the other thread, what disappeared?!!? |

msc,I would conclude too, if I couldn't even answer the most simple of questions!!!! You CANNOT show me one person in the Bible who spoke in tongues who wasn't an apostle or saved under an apostle and then claim that I believe in extra-biblical information! What nerve. I printed what the Bible SAYS, which you do not believe, and then asked for Bible evidence, since you said the Bible was all that was needed, of someone who spoke in tongues and was not an apostle or saved under an apostle. You simply couldn't deliver the goods. If I were you, I'd conclude and run along with my tail tucked between my legs too. |
