Well it does matter because you said it, and whoever hands it were. They would know what i'm talking about!Originally Posted by Urban Missionary
Acts 5:12
And by the hands of the apostles were many signs and wonders wrought among the people; (and they were all with one accord in Solomon's porch.
We are his body, We are his representative, We are the extension of God to the earth. Every action should be a extension of God's love.
If they practiced what they preached, every day.

Admitting desperation, not modesty!NOW you're just being modest...
For the record, God did all of those things through me and they happened in the church that I pastor, and I have NO IDEA what you are talking about...

Now when someone was filled with the Spirit in the bible, What happened?
We are his body, We are his representative, We are the extension of God to the earth. Every action should be a extension of God's love.
Grand Master
you are right, Now take a look at what Jesus meant by witnessing.
Romans 15:19
Through mighty signs and wonders, by the power of the Spirit of God; so that from Jerusalem, and round about unto Illyricum, I have fully preached the gospel of Christ.
1 Corinthians 2:4
My message and my preaching were not with wise and persuasive words, but with a demonstration of the Spirit's power,
We are his body, We are his representative, We are the extension of God to the earth. Every action should be a extension of God's love.

The sing psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs.

It is sad that you are a PASTOR and you do not know this. it is a shame. But this is typical of the church of Jesus Christ in the US. This is why our church is dead because we lack the Power of the Holy Spirit, nor do we have any knowledge that it even exists.
Acts 10:38
"How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him."
Mark 5:30
"At once Jesus realized that power had gone out from him. He turned around in the crowd and asked, "Who touched my clothes?""
Luke 6:19
"and the people all tried to touch him, because power was coming from him and healing them all."
We are his body, We are his representative, We are the extension of God to the earth. Every action should be a extension of God's love.
Grand Master
The result of the infilling of the Spirit was his POWER.
Acts 4:31&33
31 "And when they had prayed, the place was shaken where they were assembled together; and they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and they spake the word of God with boldness."
33 "And with great power gave the apostles witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and great grace was upon them all."
We are his body, We are his representative, We are the extension of God to the earth. Every action should be a extension of God's love.

Well, if you look at the context of Roman 15:19, you will find that abounding in hope is a demonstration of the power of the Spirit (v 13) and that the obedience of the Gentiles is demonstrated
1. by word and deed,
2. in the power of signs and wonders,
3. in the power of the Spirit
The context of 1 Cor 2 is that Paul did not speak in his own authority or power, as he came with fear and trembling, nor with persuasive oratory, but by the Spirit...

No, the evidence of the filling of the Holy Spirit in Acts 4 was that they spoke the word of God with boldness. The "with great power" was the result of the unity of the congregation as demonstrated in v. 32.
According to Colossians, the result of being filled with the Spirit is that the church will sing to one another with psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs, making melody in their hearts to the Lord.
John was filled "even from birth" and it caused him to be a witness.
There is no mention of what "happened" to Elizabeth.
Zechariah prophesied.
Cornelius's house spoke in tongues.
No mention of what happened to Paul other than he became a great witness of Christ.

Not the evidence that i'm talking about, but the RESULT!
The reason i'm still discussing this is to show you that the Power of the Holy Spirit exists!

So who denied that there is such a thing as "the power of the Holy Spirit?"
The evidence of the filling of the Holy Spirit and the result of the filling of the Holy Spirit are exactly the same.
I am glad that I could disappoint, it is one of my giftings.It is sad that you are a PASTOR and you do not know this. it is a shame
You mis-understood me. I understand what you are saying... (I was raised in a neo-pentecostal home. I was a member of the largest pentecostal denomination in the US. I went to college at a pentecostal Bible college)... I just COMPLETELY disagree with that doctrine.
I believe in all of the gifts of the Spirit. I believe they are still in use today. I also believe that they are terribly abused by many people that think that they are better, holier, more anointed, etc. because they have had some great experience with the Holy Spirit.
