A. Speaking in tongues We mentioned that there are three gifts of the Spirit that the Pentecostal movement emphasizes above all the others: speaking in tongues, faith healing, and on-going revelation. Of these three, speaking in tongues is the most prominent. The first recorded incident of speaking in tongues is found in the events that transpired ...
The same reasoning is applied to the gift of healing. Jesus Himself, it is reasoned, spent the majority of His earthly ministry healing people. From His example to us it is evident that He came to heal not only our souls but our bodies too. It was this gift of healing He has promised to His church after Pentecost. Again, we read of that in Mark 16:...
James Slay identifies correctly the point of disagreement between the Pentecostal and those who deny his claims. He writes (p.92): These are rhetorical questions that Slay intends to answer with a 'no.' Our answer to these questions, however, is 'yes'! Both the apostles and the church of Christ at that time did need this extraordinary sign to convi...
This is true, first of all, of the gift of speaking in tongues. Paul writes in I Corinthians 14:22, 'Wherefore tongues are for a sign, not to them that believe, but to them that believe not.' The question is, of what was the speaking in tongues a sign? Certainly, it did not simply point to the pouring out of the Holy Spirit. Then either this third ...
What about healings? Jesus tells us that these were a sign too in Mark 16. Of what were they a sign? Well, they clearly did not signify the same thing as did the sign of speaking in tongues. The gift of healing was not a sign used on Pentecost to prove that the Spirit was poured out. Paul does, however, reveal to us of what they were a sign. Notice...
What about the gift of on-going revelation? It is not difficult to prove the fallacy involved in the claim that men still have this gift today. Some months ago I received in my e-mail the writings of a man who claimed that God had spoken to him by direct revelation. He was then burdened by God, so he explained, to share this all important revelatio...
There are two warnings that we must heed when considering the error of Pentecostalism. First, it is not enough to know what is not the work of the Spirit. In this booklet we have only exposed the error with respect to the work of the Spirit. As believers we are also obliged to know what the proper work of the Spirit is. Take time out to study that....
A Prayer for Pentecost. Adapted from Acts 1:8 and Acts 2:1-4, 17-21. By.
So worship is our work together, which the Reformation gave back to us by allowing people to worship in their own language and give voice to their own prayers and songs. Worship is our work as the people of God together listening and responding to what God has to say to us. Prelude (God speaks to us and we respond to God; we speak to each other)
Pentecostalism, charismatic religious movement that gave rise to a number of Protestant churches in the United States in the 20th century and is unique in its belief that all Christians should seek a post-conversion religious experience called ‘baptism with the Holy Spirit.’
Nov 29, 2001 · The Pentecostal movement has influence even where its main doctrines and practices are officially rejected. The Pentecostal movement is the cause of widespread dissatisfaction with the preaching of the doctrine of the cross and of the shrill clamor for more emphasis on the Christian life and religious activities.
