No,you dont keep your spiritual gift if you dont maintain a sanctified /consecrated life. God does not allow his spiritual gifts to manifest in something unclean. Plenty of biblical evidence to support this.

Not to mention, i know this for a fact. I once knew a holy ghost filled women who intepreted tongues, but she was a gossip. God was dealing with her on this and she continued to gossip. Then she got herself into some other type of sin. She says she no longer hears from God like she used to. I havent heard her interpret tongues in a long time.

I can't find the teaching by Sciscoe that I was looking for. It used to be in the recordings on their website. I did find another article after googling the phrase about the gifts being without repentance. I think it elaborates on the subject quite well:

Okay, Sciscoe has these teachings in his store now as a CD set. Here is the link: http://tmin.triumphtoday.org/c66stor...iritual-gifts/

I have my struggles with lust and anger.

I struggle with authority in organized religion.

I also struggle with being too open minded at times.

If any of us are not honest enough to admit we have struggles, we have fooled ourselves.

We can die out to sin one day, but the next day, or maybe even the next hour... it is a new battle that we face. Paul said we have to die daily. That means we have to crucify our fleshly natures and sinful desires daily. It is a battle that we all fight, each and every day.

The problem is when we think somehow we have "beat" the sin in our lives, we can let down our guard. The sin will come back in a new form of packaging, and tempt us in a different way. We have an enemy who seeks the destruction of our souls.

The only way to constantly stand against the attack of the enemy is to spend TIME in the presence of the Lord each and every day, and to allow the spirit to convict our hearts of things that may seem even silly to others, but as a sign of obedience to the spirit working in us.

When we begin to obey the spirit that speaks to us about the little things in our lives, we can begin to build our "spiritual muscles" for the attacks of the enemy that come against us on a daily basis.

That is why fasting is so necessary, because it denies the flesh one of its greatest needs, food... and allows the spirit to begin to reign fully in one's life. Fasting is a great place to begin to allow the spirit to do its work in the believer's life.

[Aquila]

I believe that we should seek spiritual union with God through the Holy Ghost, thereby we can partake in the divine nature. This cleanses our spirits and aligns us with God. Bible reading and meditation renews the mind... and with that renewed vision, we more adequately discipline the body.

We are treasures in earthen vessels. We are extentions of God Himself... branches of the True vine. Without this union, without HIM, we can do nothing.

This also explains some of the abuses in the church regardingthe ministry and the gifts. While God's gifts and calling are withoutrepentance, that alone does not insure that His gifts and callingwill be valued by those He calls. There are many, even thoughthey have received salvation and gifts from God, have used thosethings for their own purposes. Instead of using the gifts of the HolySpirit to God's glory and to the edification of the Body, they haveused them for their own glory. Yet God allows them to do so. Hedoesn't take back what He has freely given.

Contradicts entirely with the word of God, and shows clear lack of understanding of the God we serve.

Im amazed that people just take any random reference off the internet and run with it, also leading others astray. Sad.
