I do not disagree with your explanation. As much as I do not speak in tongues, I do not disbelieve such manifestation. My problem with proponents of this gift is the over-emphasis of tongues over the other spiritual gifts, plus the some attention seeking antics of some practitioners and the lacking of orderly conduct during the worship service - exactly the same issues as what Paul had described.Originally posted by zyn:Referring to someone's something to satanic tongues.. the speaking in tongues in christianity is due to an outpouring of the holy spirit. I'm quoting the below from some booklet thingy..
etc etc
Paul was not opposed to tounges. His point was that if someone speakes tounges in a public assembly, it is essential that there will be an intepretation so that listeners will be instructed.
John, I agree with you on this one. Speaking in tongues has nothing to do with salvation. None of the spiritual gifts mentioned in 1 Corinthians has got to do with salvation.Originally posted by John The Baptist:Has speaking in tongues got to do with eternal salvation? As i said, when i see certain charismatic tongue speaking Christians abusing the grace & truth doctrine, i really doubt what will happen when they die.
AGAIN I AM NOT GOD, SO DONT SAY I JUDGE THEM TO HELL. (Not shouting ok?) We just have to check ourselves. Salvation belongs to God alone.
yes yes, katrina victims dont deserved to die, ok?Originally posted by John The Baptist:Has speaking in tongues got to do with eternal salvation? As i said, when i see certain charismatic tongue speaking Christians abusing the grace & truth doctrine, i really doubt what will happen when they die.

Apparently, you dont take ur words to heedOriginally posted by John The Baptist:Ok i already apologised on that one. Want to start another fight is it?
Wah lau...this is head on.Originally posted by laurence82:Apparently, you dont take ur words to heed
You talked abt katrina, then say sorry, then said you cant judge whether people go to hell, in the first post of this page, then to mcsquare you judge yourself to be able to go to heaven
Pick a fight? How about picking up inconsistency in what you preach?
Well, there is a big disparity in what he said in one topic, and in anotherOriginally posted by M©+square:Wah lau...this is head on.
Haiz.
You want him to give a detailed explaination of himself boh.Originally posted by laurence82:Well, there is a big disparity in what he said in one topic, and in another
and the bloody inconsistency
will inconsistent bits and pieces of thoughts bring together a coherent point?Originally posted by M©+square:You want him to give a detailed explaination of himself boh.
I think he ought to bring to those points back and consolidate and present what his stand is from the beginning till now.
I agree it is inconsistent. If he is willing to explain, i'd very much like to see what he is thinking.
Cheers
Then what u expect? That i say ALL THE SINNERS IN NEW ORLEANS WENT TO HELL BCOS OF KATRINA? Other Christians say i am deluded so i said sorry abt my intolerance. Dont try to be funny.Originally posted by laurence82:Apparently, you dont take ur words to heed

ello, read carefully, issit abt katrina ALONE?Originally posted by John The Baptist:Then what u expect? That i say ALL THE SINNERS IN NEW ORLEANS WENT TO HELL BCOS OF KATRINA? Other Christians say i am deluded so i said sorry abt my intolerance. Dont try to be funny.
Ok, let me explain. I cant judge whether ppl go to heaven but i can judge myself right? Salvation anyway belongs to God. Even if i judge myself worthy of heaven, i still have to ask for forgiveness bcos of original sin. Even if i am utterly holy w/c i am not, i still have to ask for forgiveness from God who is much much more holy.Originally posted by laurence82:ello, read carefully, issit abt katrina ALONE?
u forgot the last two points on my para
that u quoted
Which is the same as saying you cant judge yourself in the first and last place, without the ifs and buts in the middle!Originally posted by John The Baptist:Ok, let me explain.

Life is a process not an absolute. Yes, i cant judge myself in the first & last place. But judge has 2 subtle meanings: one is Judgement by God Himself & the other judging ourselves. Listen- I can judge myself bcos i have a conscience given by God & thereby from this i judge myself guilty or innocent before God. But i cant judge myself worthy of heaven bcos God is the ultimate Judge who judges righteously & fairly & acording to the faith in His Son's blood.Originally posted by laurence82:Which is the same as saying you cant judge yourself in the first and last place, without the ifs and buts in the middle!
I dont understand.Originally posted by M©+square:Ok, i may seem like nit picking.
But i'm really very sensitive with some words.

Knowing you cant judge yourself well enough, you still do it?Originally posted by John The Baptist:Life is a process not an absolute. Yes, i cant judge myself in the first & last place.

If i dont judge myself, i will go out & commit all sorts of crimes & still think i go to heaven.Originally posted by laurence82:Knowing you cant judge yourself well enough, you still do it?
