[QUOTE=bbyrd009;1249922]I mean, really. Thank you. Current day Apostles don't generally become martyrs, either. I do not need Scripture to witness something that no longer occurs, nor do I expect It to do this. The combining of the Apostles and other NT examples of xenoglossy with today's Apostolic prerequisite of glossololia for the infilling of the Holy Spirit has no basis in Scripture.

QThat is the nice way to put it; the not-so-nice way is that it is satanic, exclusionary, and can be judged by its fruit.[/ UOTE]

Explain what you mean here by "satanic".

Thanks

Are we Apostolic?

1. The Apostles started churches.
2. John the Baptist baptised unto repentance. Jesus had not yet died and the Holy Ghost had not yet been given, so there were no instructions to baptise in Jesus name at that time.
3. Jesus said he gave Peter the keys to the kingdom. It was Peter that said Repent, be baptised in the name of Jesus FOR the remission of your sins, and then he said you would receive the GIFT of the Holy Ghost.
These I believe are the keys to the kingdom. But it doesn't end there. IMO
4. We don't emphasize REPENTANCE enough, IMO. The Bible says that heaven rejoices everytime a sinner repents. I think repentence is more important than we give it.
5. The Apostles laid hands on people and they were healed, some even raised from the dead.
6. They went house to house breaking bread. Just learned that meant having communion.
7. I am not the judge and can not say being baptized in the name of the Father, son and Holy Ghost will send you to hell since we know that is Jesus. However, I DO believe you will be judged by what you do KNOW.

Discounting the Bible as being the Word of God is a dangerous road IMO. My experience is those that discount the Bible as having errors quickly believe what man has written as those they are some so call expert. Foolish IMO.

My concern for todays Christians are as follows:

1. Chipping away at our foundation - the Word of God
2. Becoming more intellient and think they now know it all, and miss the essential issues in the Word.
3. Not having a LOVE for the TRUTH and believing lies.
4. Having a great love for the entertainment of the world.
5. Finding errors in past teachings that now cast doubt on all teachings.
6. Putting their eyes on man instead of God.

Just some things I am concerned about.

I believe in the whole Bible.
