Apr 8	comment	How did Thomas Aquinas view grace as opposed to the church fathers? To @H3br3wHamm3r81 You misunderstand the question. It is not about something man can achieve, but about how grace works in our lives, what kind of gift it is.
Apr 8	comment	How did Thomas Aquinas view grace as opposed to the church fathers? Thank you @Pavel. I look forward to it.
Apr 5	comment	In the book of John, is the Holy Spirit not in Jesus until the dove descends on Him? How about some exegetics to support this view?
Mar 31	comment	What was the definition of the spiritual gift of the word of Knowledge in early pentecostalism? I beg to disagree. Gee clearly states that he does not agree with the view expressed by Carter et al. Similarly, Carter takes issue with the view that the word of knowledge is referring to teaching. The book by Wigglesworth is a collection from sermons that he gave. So yes, he did not write a book, but the teaching in the book is from him.
Feb 28	comment	How was the gift of the word of knowledge defined by the pioneers of the pentecostal healing revival OK. I am still investigating the issue and will perhaps provide a more thorough answer in time.
Feb 10	comment	What was the definition of the spiritual gift of the word of Knowledge in early pentecostalism? @warren I have edited the questions and added comments to make clear that this is not the same question as the one currently flagged as if it had the answer.
Feb 10	comment	How was the gift of the word of knowledge defined by the pioneers of the pentecostal healing revival Just to make clear. The other question is about the first generation of pentecostal pioneers (1900-1940), this question is about the healing revivalists of the 50's. Thus the questions are not identical.
Feb 10	comment	What was the definition of the spiritual gift of the word of Knowledge in early pentecostalism? The healing revival is credited with making pentecostalism known to a larger audience, less sectarian and to have influenced the charismatic movement in the mainline protestant churches and the catholic church. It is also credited with changing the focus of classic pentecostalism from tongues to healing. Like it or not, but it was no "fringe". (Sources, as always, Hollenweger, Anderson + Amos Yong and a few other leading pentecostal theologians.)
Feb 10	comment	What was the definition of the spiritual gift of the word of Knowledge in early pentecostalism? @mike: (Off topic) In fact, the pentecostal movement started at lots of places, although Asuza was the most important one. It started in Armenia in the late 19th century, in India independently of Asuza street and Topeka, but in between those. Allan Anderson and Walter Hollenweger have written about this.
Feb 10	comment	What was the definition of the spiritual gift of the word of Knowledge in early pentecostalism? Pioneer of the pentecostal movement = First generation (1900-1940). Pioneer of the healing revival = later generation. I am trying to see if indeed the view about some spiritual gifts changed, and my thesis is that indeed it did and that changed occurred during the healing revival.
Feb 8	comment	How was the gift of the word of knowledge defined by the pioneers of the pentecostal healing revival Please do. I might add that what I am currently doing is inquiring about the theology side of the gifts. Thus I need texts or other sources when the gift is explained, rather than demonstrated. (unless that demonstration is combined with an explanation.)
Feb 8	comment	How was the gift of the word of knowledge defined by the pioneers of the pentecostal healing revival By the way, that is not the W V Grant who has been involved in financial scandals and been exposed by James Randi, but his father.
Nov 14	comment	When did the gathered church stop singing choruses? Thanks for this answer. Please note that I was not trying to say that anything but the singing was unimportant. I will however provide some additions to your interpretation of 1 Cor. The writing is clearly problem focused. Thus, what Paul says about eucharist or spiritual gifts is not a complete description about how to have a worship service. Also, chapter 11 is not the only one about gatherings. Chapter 12-14 is also about that setting, which means ministry in spiritual gifts is a great part of Pauline worship services, and that includes some singing (14:15).
Nov 12	comment	When did the gathered church stop singing choruses? As I said, my books are in storage, so I can not provide a reference. The question is meant to be about history only. The churches at the late 1st and early 2nd century - at least in a few places - would sing chorus after chorus, perhaps while gathering, to begin their services. The descriptions I know of describing gatherings a few centuries later describe no such practice. Until I get hold of my books, that's the best I can do to describe the issue.
Nov 12	comment	When did the one-way monologue sermon first become a normal feature of church assemblies? Yep, I know I did not provide references. This answer is based on my memory. Digging up references would unfortunately take more time than I can afford...
Nov 12	comment	Is it a sin or forbidden to follow any of the parts of the Law of Moses? Yes, I think he probably would have been, because of his Kingdom of God perspective.
Nov 11	comment	When did the gathered church stop singing choruses? (a) Evidently, I must get back to this question once I've dug up my books from storage, as I'm not making myself understood. (b) The way the early church sang chorus after chorus to begin their services is not similar to how the catholic church does it today. The choruses I speak about were very informal and sung in sequence. (c) From Gregorius and onwards songs were added, but we have no mention of songs being dropped.
Nov 9	comment	When did the gathered church stop singing choruses? Question has now been edited to clarify its scope
Nov 9	comment	When did the gathered church stop singing choruses? Question has been edited. Modern practice is out of its scope.
Nov 9	comment	When did the gathered church stop singing choruses? I am not thinking about any denomination. The depiction of how the early churches sang a lot of choruses to start the service would be from the 2nd century. The custom is clearly lost long before pope Gregorius (late 6th century).
