1 Corinthians 14; The Controversial Gifts

1 Corinthians 14; The Controversial Gifts

This is a personal observation of my study and listening to the sermons I preached and edited the podcast.

Concerning Spiritual Gifts.
I know the Holy Spirit has not stopped working nor has He stopped performing miracles in their various manifestations.

I have begun this study as a Continuationist.
As I prepared the sermons, I noted great differences defined in the New Testament and the lack of any real & genuine manifestations of the exact same nature current day.

There is a clear difference of what is exhibited in the New Testament writings and what we are observing today.

This leads to a crisis point for Continuationist. In order to remain in that position you are forced to redefine Spiritual Gifts spelled out in the Bible to “make them fit” into present day phenomena.

Redefining Scripture is Eisegesis. BAD.

In this sermon you will hear me struggle to make Gifts of the Spirit fit from what is written to present day experiences.

I have no problem sharing my Spiritual journey with you, because the goal of studying our Bible is to allow the Scriptures to change US. We do not change the Scriptures.

[Rom 12:2 ESV] Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.
