For years i claimed 1 Peter 2:24 for healing my body and the pastors that i was under did the same thing; than this passage was correctly explained to me! Thank God for these godly men at G3 ministries who boldly proclaim the truth of scripture!
Biblical illiteracy is the problem 😮💨 I praise God that I’m in a sound doctrine church
You and me both!
Wow learning a lot already. Thanks so much for this ❤
The most important thing in healing is Salvation. Ask Voddie Baucham about healing.
Thank you🙏
God =Yes, No, Wait, are the answers to prayers from God 😢.
Verse by verse...precept upon precept. The Holy Spirit leads us into all truth.
False Teachers steal God's Word, they get in the way of truth...thy are like their father the Devil.
So good, brothers. Thank you.
Can't wait for your October conference....!
SOLI DEO GLORIA...!!!
While I would agree that charismatic abuses are indeed a problem, cessationism swings the pendulum too far in the opposite direction. It opens the door for abuse, albeit in a different manner. For example, if you attend a cessationist church but are a continuationist in your theology and were to attempt to practice the gifts in that setting, whether it be healing (praying for healing, casting out demons), word of knowledge/wisdom (1 Cor. 12:8), it would be viewed, at best, with skepticism, and/or worse, contempt. Moreover, I know some cessationist churches that will not allow you to join their church (as a believer) if you are continuationist in your theology. This is patently absurd. This measure of abuse is rarely talked about because it is more subtle (and would appear to be harmless) but is just as destructive as the sensational abuses that manifest on the charismatic side. Nevertheless, my thesis is to beware of falling into a ditch on both sides, whether it is Charismatic continuationism or Calvinistic cessationism.
@@andreadilorenzo_ You just validated my point. I suppose Jesus, the twelve, and the early church were not protecting the flock? Indeed, Paul certainly wasn't protecting the flock because he encouraged the Corinthians to engage in the gifts, albeit on the foundation of love.
Your "protecting the flock" assertion implies that anyone who attempts to practice the gifts is not only in error but is juxtaposed to being a "wolf" that would "ravish" the sheep and is perceived as a threat. If this is not a form of abuse, I do not know what is?
@@andreadilorenzo_ Good switch. I think I have an idea what it is since I used to be one. Blessings to you, sister.
Cessationists can pray for healing though, so they wouldn't view that as skepticism or contempt. No abuse.
@@HearGodsWord hence the misunderstanding of cessationism.
@@andreadilorenzo_ indeed, most of the criticisms tend to go that way.
The cessationist position would be more respectable if they were just honest. For instance, if they were to assert, "We affirm the Word of God when it describes speaking in tongues, prophecy, healing (physical, or freed from demons), etc; however, we do not practice those portions of Scripture that discuss these truths because we do not feel comfortable or equipped in doing so, and it is too controversial due to the charismatic abuses." This would show humility, and their position would be better understood and respected. However, most, if not all, cessationists take the theologically arrogant route in trying to justify their position by twisting texts to support their position, which creates confusion and division.
Likewise, as continuationists, we have to be biblical accurate. We know Paul had an eye ailment, a thorn in his side sent from Satan, Timothy had stomach problems, other believers had sicknesses, and some even died from taking communion in an unworthy manner! However, although this testimony from Scripture is true, it MUST be balanced out with the commands and testimonies from Scripture TO engage in the above gifts. In short, engaging in the gifts did not always promise healing with the apostles and the early church. What makes us think it would occur every single time in our day? However, this does not negate the explicit commands to practice healing, deliverance, prophecy, and tongues. In my view, engaging in these gifts can display humility and reliance upon God, which may bring forth healing, deliverance, and encouragement (prophecy & tongues) that could strengthen that local body.
So ... the cessationist position would be more acceptable if it was different than it is?
@@mikedspringstead5974 Not acceptable but respected. In simple terms, if they were to admit they do not practice the gifts simply because they do not believe in them OR do not feel equipped to practice, but they do not find fault with those who do, they would be more respected, albeit still wrong.
However, they not only do not believe in the gifts, but they have built an entire doctrine (that affects missiology and ecclesiology) to suggest that if you do practice them, it's not legitimate. In short, you are in error (or sin) if you pursue the gifts (as Scripture commands). This is absurd on many levels, and I can't believe I used to believe this foolishness for many years.
