Replied Jul 24

Do you have to ask for the Holy Spirit after you get saved or is it automatic by faith?

Sasha replied to karen's discussion 'How to evangelise our youth out of drugs & gangs to the Lord' in the group Evangelism

I go on prayer walks and let God speak to me about whom He wants me to minister to. Many gangs are outside on Russian streets. I usually start talking to the ones God led me to about my own life and I listen to their stories. I try to be patient, pr…

Char replied to karen's discussion 'I have a QUESTION' in the group Hurting & Recovery Group

What do you mean by "head knowledge" Karen? And what is it precisely that makes you doubt? Is it that you think Jesus can't save you? Is it that you aren't sure he really rose from the dead? Are you unsure he is faithful when we are faithless? The…

karen replied to Dr Mike's discussion 'Michael Jackson = John Calvin = Michael Jackson'

I never read anywhere that the Jackson's were or are Jehovah's witnesses. I don't know. I hope Michael Jackson accepted Christ before he died. I'd like to believe that he did. People like to make assumptions about people, just like they did about Jo…

There's an radically important (and virtually ignored) sense in which the Spirit is the life, creativity and blessing of every human being. It seems to me that denying this gets you into some severe Christological trouble. We can only ask for God's…

Craig Falvo replied to karen's discussion 'Do you have to ask for the Holy Spirit after you get saved or is it automatic by faith?'

The think with John's baptism mentioned in Acts 19 is that it was not a once and for all baptism. The escahatological component was missing from John's baptism of repentence. One thing we have to keep in mind, there were many differnt kinds of "bapt…

xulon replied to karen's discussion 'Do you have to ask for the Holy Spirit after you get saved or is it automatic by faith?'

As I was raised (Roman Catholic) the Holy Spirit is given at the Sacrament of Confirmation (I was 13, but I think the age has been changed). It has nothing to do with Salvation, Protestantly defined, but is part of the process of a Christian life wh…
