And if we can't really be certain that this is the same experience, why would we demand this as being the standard for salvation? |
some times hermenuetics can be a bad thing when used in the bible.
Paul also stats do all speak in tounges?
Do all prophesy?
of course the answer is No.
but since i know in one scripture were they both spoke in tounges and prophesied, maybe we should use hermenuetics to say well all people should speak in tounges and prophesy to show they have the spirit.
Ive seen people speak in tounges and live church in the next couple of services, and you dont see them or hear from them again
then i have seen some who have had a life changing experience, never speak in tounges but they labor for the lord, to a point its inspiring.
Now which would be more proof to you that they had the spirit.
Fruits is always a great way to tell, cause Jesus said a bad tree cannot produce good fruits
