These are the things Paul, and the other NT writers spent time teaching. We must be overcomers.
Rev. 2:19 "I know thy works, and charity, and service, and faith, and thy patience, and thy works, and the last to be more than the first."
What is Jesus referencing here? Tongues? Nope. Fruit of the spirit... charity (love), faith, patience!
Gal. 5:22 "But the fruit of the spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance, against such there is no law." |
Again, it's to the churches -- the one's who have already received the initial evidence of speaking in tongues.
In your argument about Paul's letters to Thessalonica, you mentioned well Paul had mentioned baptism a lot in other letters....to use that argument, Jesus already said you must be born of water and spirit
Oh, Jesus didn't mention baptism in Rev either...
