22 Christ reconciled you in his body of flesh through death, in order to present you holy, blameless, and faultless before him—Col 1
It is the risen Lord who received from the Father the promise of the Holy and subsequently pours it out on all flesh in baptism into Him. See Acts 2.
So in your teaching is the second part of Acts 2:38 optional? ...and each one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, ...
Or don’t you know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? Rom 6:3

For if we have been united with him in the likeness of his death, we will certainly also be in the likeness of his resurrection. Rom 6:5
That when His glory is revealed, you may also be glad with exceeding joy. 1 Peter 4:13

I have no idea what you mean by optional but the disciples who were going to go out unto all the world were promised that, "the one who believed and was baptized shall be saved," and that is how they carried out their commission, by baptizing and teaching. Since those two participles in Matthew 28:19 inform us of the web disciple then if a person is not doing that then he is not making disciples in the Christian context of Matthew 28:19ff.

That's more out of context Scripture bingo! The funny part is that none of them modify or deny that baptism does now save you through the resurrection of Christ.

Don't fear God's word according to the context in which it was given. It is how you too will one day rightly learn of Christ and His work for all men, this necessarily includes you.

eve is completely innocent.
Before she listened and acted on the serpent words, at that point of believing the serpent's words, she became guilty of believing a lie, and is no longer innocent.

I see this as a virgin getting pregnant by believing the words of the man who made her pregnant, before marriage. This woman is no longer innocent.
God gave the command to adam, as her protector. And only to adam. Adam is a fool.
"God gave the command to adam, as her protector. And only to adam.", No doubt there.
AV Gn 2:16-17 And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat: 17 But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.

"Adam is a fool.", That is your opinion to shared here at CARM.
AV Gn 3:2-3 And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden: 3 But of the fruit of the tree which [is] in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.

At some point, Adam had to of told Eve, so who acted foolishly with GOD's Words ???
God showed me this…
How then ???

How can we tell if a prophet is a true prophet of God? Many people have said that God spoke to or through them. How do we discern that this is so?

Just wonderin',
--Rich

BTW, I am not a cessationist, per se.
The Old Testament give the clear answer:
Deu 18:21 And if thou say in thine heart, How shall we know the word which the LORD hath not spoken?
22 When a prophet speaketh in the name of the LORD, if the thing follow not, nor come to pass, that is the thing which the LORD hath not spoken, but the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously: thou shalt not be afraid of him.

And it the old testament you also KILLED the false prophet.

It it goes along with the Letter, and the TENOR of Scripture, could be "prophet" is O.K.

But NOBODY HAS ANY GIFT. The Holy Spirit temporarily Gifts people, and enables them to move in God's power.

Start here….that sight and speech belong to God’s realm.
Sight and Speech are the male attribute of God. God spoke the Word. He said His creation is good.
Speech is the meaning of rule.
To speak Reality into being.


After adam failed to protect eve - his job as male and therefore his sin to fail to do - the satan realm began to speak ‘realities’…
after all the first adam had been given ‘dominion’ and speech by God. He could name the animals. As Male, the fall is entirely Adam’s fault...even if eve did touch the satan realm.

Adam is the fool.

any day now is the Change and the 144k will be restored to our Rest, which is Eden,
that restoration being why God gave us His Words ... to save from here and restore us to Him.

So how did True Prophets get murdered by the so-called GOD's people ???

Yours in Christ, Michael
the people did not listen to the prophets and got cursed…went into captivity.
and the vision was sealed.


the 144k today do listen
and will have their Change …for they understood His Words.
and it’s any day now…

most
believers though do not listen Him..
modern christianity (all denominations including yours) being the man of lawlessness.

many believers will suffer tribulation…
before being saved from here.

Where do you get this idea that sight and speech are male attributes? Was Eve blind? Was Eve dumb?

Eve did not sin? Genesis 3 makes clear that she knew that to eat the fruit of the tree was wrong. How can you claim that Eve did not sin?

The way that you word things would have me believe that you don't care much for men.

The command was only given to adam.
it was adam’s job to protect her.


meant was not physical senses in the current body.
Male has, per genesis, rule over eden which is sight and speech.

Sight: vision , context
Speech: executive power.

If anything the feminists would be upset.

That dog don't hunt. Eve was well aware that neither of them were to eat the fruit of the tree. And she didn't say, "Adam said", she said, "God said".

And the woman said to the serpent, “We may eat of the fruit of the trees in the garden, but God said, ‘You shall not eat of the fruit of the tree that is in the midst of the garden, neither shall you touch it, lest you die.’” Genesis 3:2-3 ESV

Eve made the conscious decision to eat the fruit.

So when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was a delight to the eyes, and that the tree was to be desired to make one wise, she took of its fruit and ate, and she also gave some to her husband who was with her, and he ate. Genesis 3:6 ESV

Adam tried to kick Eve under the bus, and then Eve tried to pass the buck off to the serpant.

The man said, “The woman whom you gave to be with me, she gave me fruit of the tree, and I ate.” Then the Lord God said to the woman, “What is this that you have done?” The woman said, “The serpent deceived me, and I ate.” Genesis 3:12-13 ESV

God wasn't buying any of that and rendered a judgement against all three.

Attention Lurkers: There is something else that the Bible clearly says.

For to one is given through the Spirit the utterance of wisdom, and to another the utterance of knowledge according to the same Spirit, to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by the one Spirit, to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another the ability to distinguish between spirits, to another various kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues. All these are empowered by one and the same Spirit, who apportions to each one individually as he wills. 1 Corinthians 12:8-11 ESV

One is able, through the power of the Holy Spirit, to distinguish if a message if of God, or if it is from a spirit of another darker sort.

If, after careful and prayerful study, you decide that a modern prophet is a false one and is not from God, that does not mean that you do not believe that modern prophets can exist.


Hi Common Tater,

That's fine that you accept one of the several listed gifts of the Spirit. Still, you have not assented to the belief that the gift of prophecy is something left for "the CHURCH." It doesn't matter if you believe in a spiritual gift of distinguishing between spirits if you have predetermined that you'll never need to distinguish between spirits since you don't acknowledge the possibility of a non biblical gift of prophecy. It's a circular reasoning logical fallacy.

Let me just repost what I said earlier:

Attention Lurkers: The Bible very clearly says, "God has placed IN THE CHURCH ... prophets ..." It also says that Christians are to "eagerly desire gifts of the Spirit, especially prophecy." Former Adventists and critics of Adventism deny these clear verities and thus cannot be expected to objectively, honestly and fairly examine anyone who claims to have the gift of prophecy.
So go ahead, let's hear you affirm that the gift of prophecy remains for "the CHURCH." If you can affirm that then we can progress to how you quite possibly are going to pour new meaning into the terms "prophet" and "prophecy." Generally the critics of Adventism can't leave these terms alone and prefer to redefine them to suit their preconceptions and misconceptions.

God bless.

EGW stated in her letter 1901 in counsels on diet and eggs.
“But I wish to say that when the time comes that it is no longer safe to use milk, cream, butter, and eggs, God will reveal this.”

EGW has been dead for 106 years now God did not reveal anything to her that the use of eggs, milk, butter and cream where no longer safe to use, therefore, there must be another prophet who will come along and reveal when it’s not safe.
Is GC the next prophet? Here is Ted Wilson’s endorsement of the handbook of discipleship
Under the leading of the Holy Spirit, this important Discipleship Handbook, adding to the many wonderful resources produced by the church, will help fulfill God’s great commission to ‘Go . . . and make disciples’ (Matthew 28:19).“

- Ted N. C. Wilson, President, General Conference of Seventh-day Adventists

Thats quite a strong statement to say under the leadership of the Holy Spirit

And what does this have to do with the price of tea in China? This is exactly what I predicted you'd do:

ATTN. ONLURKERS: I can guarantee that neither of my last two questions will be answered in any sort of biblical manner. Former Adventists and critics of Adventism mock and deride Adventists claiming we rely on an extra biblical source of authority (i.e. Ellen White). Yet I never appeal to White to make a defense of any biblical doctrine and I've not seen any other Adventist on this forum who does that. The critics are the ones who elevate their own opinions above a plain, "Thus saith the Lord." They are the ones who are denigrating the Word of God by their rejections and denials of simple and plainly communicated ideas. This is why people become "former Adventists." They place a higher value on their own ideas than on what the Bible teaches.

Your response is an attempt at deflection. You can't engage the premise biblically, so you throw out two random quotes which have nothing to do with each other or with the topic at hand. It's bizarre and sad.
