E shock me. My own blood brother is one of them. He once told me that there are no more miracles. I was in the university then and God healed me of ten years migraine. He was enthusiastically telling me that God didn't answer prayers again. He had argument I had evidence. That encounter changed my perspective about God and JWs. I thereafter gave my life to Christ. Jehovah said I am God and I change not. JWs say although He is God, He is a chameleon. He changes at whims and caprices of JWs. In fact, JWs think, they control God.
My brother, do you remember the story of the two harlots in Solomon's time? The one who went home with the dead child would have to manage it. It is a difficult task to manage the dead than the living.
JWs are managing dead faith. They need a lot of philosophy and psychology to manage their ignorant people. The kingdom of God is....in power. And that of The Holy Spirit.
Hallelujah.

And what makes u think u are more knowledgeable than them?...

All of una wey leave una forefathers' ways of thousand of years only to adopt foreign religion now think u know it all... Jokers everywhere.

Please i do not welcome comments from atheist on this thread. Thanks

In 2011/2012 after i had given my life to christ. A young man in my church asked me if i had recieved the infilling of the holyspirit, i said no. He promised to pray for me.

A certain day, i think on a saturday, after church service, he laid hands on me in the name of Jesus and prayed in tongues.

The next thing that happened is that i got up from the hard floor of the church. I didn't feel any pain nor did i remember falling. I didn't speak in tongues either. But i had a lot of faith and was happy and believed i had been filled with the holyspirit.

I understand that you are aquinted with the spirit once you're born again, but there is an infilling or baptism of the spirit different from the born again experience.(Acts8:15-17)

So, did i recieve the infilling of the spirit at that time? Is it possible to be filled/baptised with the holyspirit without recieving any of his gifts like speaking in tongues?



Do good always physical and let your mind be always pure in every thing you do. Then Holy Spirit will always fall o you.

There are GIFTS of God's Holy Spirit as well as FRUIT of God's Holy Spirit.

The GIFTS has stopped since 2,000 years ago so don't let anyone deceive you that you can have any supernatural gift because it has ceased! 1Corinthians 13:8-10

But as for the FRUIT of God's Holy Spirit this one will continue to time indefinite that's why Jesus foretold that it's by the FRUIT (not GIFTS) of different sects you will know which is of God and which is not of God! Matthew 7:15-18

If you want further clarification feel free to ask!

How do you square this with Romans 11:29 For the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable.

And do you have a scripture reference for the idea that GIFTS have passed away?

Thanks.

Jackanda1:
You're wrong. That scripture of 1corinthian13:8-10 doesn't say the gifts of the spirit HAS ended. Instead It says that they WILL end/cease.
The holy spirit still distributes gifts to the church today.

The writter was trying to point out that love was more important than spiritual gifts.

Correct!!

I don't speak in tongues... I don't even go to church... yet I connect with the holy spirit anytime anyday... I hope this answers your question... association with the supernaturals is a state of the mind grin

You already have the holy spirit inside of you the moment you originally give your life to Christ and become born again.
If you want to experience speaking in tongues then ask God for it in the name of JESUS and you will start speaking in tongues.

When you are filled with the holy spirit, it's not must you speak in tongues, the holy spirit brings inner peace, that's why Jesus told his disciples I will send you a comforter, the holy spirit is a comforter, Speaking in tongues is a gift just like singing

.., these pentecostal churches and speaking in tongues.. let me just say ONE THING..

Speaking in tongues is ONE of the evidences of the use of an individual by The Holy Spirit while true holiness and righteous living is the EVIDENCE of the PRESENCE of the The Holy Spirit in one's life.

To some people, anyone who doesn't speak in tongues - in different UNLEARNED languages
- does not have the Set-apart Spirit of YHVH Almighty.

What does it really mean to speak in tongues - languages? They have continued to dodge this question.

Speaking in tongues is an evidence that a believer has been baptized with power(holy ghost ) as it is written (act1:8,luk 24:49),and it's actually a different experience as d one u experience at salvation

If you're not stupid why coming to quote me in the first place when i'm talking about the WORKS (FRUIT) of God's Holy Spirit? James 2:26
All religions including Buddhism, Hinduism, Islam, traditionalists speak in tongues so that's not the evidence of God's Holy Spirit in action anymore, whatever Satan's agents does can't be valid evidence of God's Holy Spirit rather it's what Satan and all his agents can't do.
That's why Jesus said:
"by their FRUITS (not GIFTS) you will know them, no good tree can produce routine fruit neither can a bad tree produce fine fruit" Matthew 7:16-18
Speaking in tongues is one of the numerous GIFTS of spirits in action so all religions having powerful spirits in their midst can perform that it's to be well organized so that their won't be any division {John 17:22; 1Corinthians 1:10} that Satan and his cohorts can't do! Luke 11:23

Your useless, hopeless, worthless and athiest Papa disguising as agent of light {2Corinthians 11:14-15} can never ever do that so whenever i'm commenting don't come quoting me to argue because i'm not a fool following athiests claiming believers with Holy Spirit but relying on armed security guards like you! smiley

Dude, are you truly a JW ? They typically are not abusive nor insulting, whilst reasoning from the scripture with others of different doctrine.

Your responses/comments are always peppered with one invective or another. You do serious disservice to the image of the JW.

Ọmọ you're a complete FOOL!

Jesus commanded his disciples to love their enemies and even pray for those persecuting them {Matthew 5:43-48} of course that's really impossible for mortal man to obey so how can members of Jehovah's Witnesses organization throughout the world agree to comply with the order if not the power of God's Holy Spirit? smiley

They're not supposed to lead with weapons! Matthew 26:52

Even ordinarily going from one place to another your Papa moves around with armed security operatives so does that show any sense of power of God's Holy Spirit?
If he has the power of God's Holy Spirit what is he doing with armed guards around him?
So your own God needs weapons to protect your Papa from who? cheesy

A fool at forty is surely a fool forever! cheesy
This your comments proves that you know nothing or little about Oyedepo but only reacting base on jealousy. Go to Sango and it's environs, Oyedepo still goes out to preach in market places, even in areas marks as dangerous, without any securities. Those that leaves in the neighbourhood can testify to this.

Yes , you can. Speaking in tongues is just one of the evidences to show that you have the holy spirit. But then, we have fake tongues now, meaning that Not ALL that speak in tongues have the holy spirit

The Main reason for having the holy spirit is to receive POWER to do exploit, tongue speaking is just a by product

If so, why not move up north and do proper evangelism? Paul did not preach in his comfort zone nor the first-century Christians who were persecuted for their faith. Northern Nigeria is there, China, Saudi Arabia, and Iran. Some of these people are eager to hear the gospel despite the fact that communist party and Islam is caging those who want to hear the truth. Though I have no problem with Oyedepo, coming to defend criticism of him may not help you

Have you heard Christian apologetic? Are you afraid to confront the atheist and proof them wrong in their stupidity? Please listen to people like John Lennox, David wood and other prominent apologist. You must be ready to have answers for the reason of your faith in Christ. An atheist or a Muslim may not believe in your faith but you could come from the historical angle with references to drive home your points.

When you receive the baptism of the Holy Ghost, you'll speak in tongues as evidence of the infilling.

All instances of the Holy Spirit Baptism in the Bible and outside the Bible always follow this pattern.

You were filled with faith and joy during the prayers. These are the gifts and fruits of the Holy Spirit respectively but do not in anyway confirm the infilling.

Keep seeking His face in this direction. You can receive the gift of the Holy Spirit without anyone laying hands on you. You can simply ask and it shall be given to you.
