“The gifts of the Spirit are all prophetic, wisdom, revelation guidance, and oracular speech (including tongues)” Turner said that a Christian obtains those gifts even when they do not belong to a Pentecostal charismatic group. In addition, God is giving them direction to his children through prophecy. Turner talked about First Century Judaism,…

If you're going to confess your worldview to a person, they must first know what your understanding of that word is. It is the buildup of one's believes, an interpretation of a person's reality and one's culture. Each section plays a significant role in a person’s framework, it molds person's behavioral pattern good or bad, knowledge understanding…

In the book of John, the author identifies Jesus as being the word. In translating the term word to the Greek term of Logos, it can be understood as anything from a divine utterance to the principle of cosmic reason that orders and governs the universe (Harris, 2014). Traditionally, the term Logos is a philosophical term and divine concept. During John’s existence, the term Logos was a Stoic term similar to divine intelligence that created and sustained the universe. However, the author of John…

Other religions have always been looked down on by my family, friends, and community, which has lead me to be highly uneducated about religions other than Christianity. Prior to attending this event, I had not had any type of personal experience with the Buddhist religion. My grandparents live down the road from a Buddhist temple recently built and are in amazement of their bizarre practices. Because of our ignorance of the Buddhist religion, my family has never spoken of it or other religions…

a person must comprehend how each gift is manifested in the Holy Spirits character and thus is an example for how we as Christians should choose to live our lives, based off of these principles. Also, one must fully explore and research each individual theme and how they can incorporate it into their own life, if they wish to become fully immersed in every aspect of the Christian faith. I plan to discuss each gift of the Holy Spirit, which include the following: wisdom, understanding, counsel,…

The book of Acts begins with the outpouring of God's promised Holy Spirit on the Day of Pentecost. As a result, the preaching of the gospel and the witness of the newly formed church sparks a flame that spreads across the Roman Empire. The opening of Acts discloses a primary theme throughout the book. As believers are empowered by the Holy Spirit they bear witness to the message of salvation in Jesus Christ. This is how the church is established and continues to grow, spreading locally and then…

For my research paper, I have chosen to look at a personal situation to research, apply and adapt certain principals in dealing with a highly sensitive matter. The issue is between a staff pastors family and a family in the church. It was brought to the attention of the lead pastor there had been some inappropriate conversations made via texting between a staff pastors wife and a fellow member of the church. The sensitivity of the matter is the fact that there are families involved with the…

I was born and raised in a Christian environment and as a believer in God. I was homeschooled my whole life up until freshman year of high school where I moved on to attend a private Christian academy. Being homeschooled helped prepare me to assert my faith for the “real world” where it would be assessed. Though at times being homeschooled was the most difficult part of my life- being someone who loves meeting new people- it was a felicitous decision which allowed me to grow divergently from…

There were many moments in the Guided Meditation where I was connected with Jesus. One, moment is in the story when I first got comfortable and relaxed I felt that Jesus was right next to me ready to pray with me. The second time is when the prayer started and I was placed into the story. I saw Jesus right next to the Pharisees and everyone around him. The third time was when the paralyzed man was being lowered into the room I saw Jesus face looking up and then down at the man to heal him. After…
