My two cents -
1 Corinthians 3:7 says - "So neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything, but only God, who makes things grow."
All Christian denominations/leaders are like - "the one who plants or the one who waters" ---------> This is not the major thing as the Word of God says.
only God, makes things grow --------------> Please understand this and keep the Word of God as your reference rather than any denomination heads/pastors/evangelists.
And to the points you mentioned :
-The Holy Spirit resides in all believers the minute they accept the Lord as their Lord and Saviour. It makes the believer’s heart, its permanent abode till the second coming of the Lord
True, the Holy Spirit will be there till the second coming. But beware that if one is living in willful sin, he/she is allowing the devil to use himself/herself and serving the devil. God would not let his Holy Spirit to remain in such people.
-Women are equal through submission and are not permitted to talk in the church. The reason for it is because they were deceived and, because of the angels. This does not make them any less in of a partaker. Mind you, man’s punishment was greater because he knowingly let himself go astray
No Comments on this one !
-The gift of tongues is not for your conversation to believers but as a sign TO unbelievers. Randomly muttering something and calling it a tongue is not a tongue
True! I completely agree to this point. This is where a lot of pentecostal churches are going wrong. I hope and pray this changes. Moreover Gift of Tongue is not the only gift/sign of Holy Spirit. There are many other good gifts as well which we should look at and desire to have.
Galatians 5:22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness and self-control.
1 Corinthians 3:12 If anyone builds on this foundation using gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay or straw, 13 their work will be shown for what it is, because the Day will bring it to light. "It will be revealed with fire, and the fire will test the quality of each person’s work."
As the scripture says, each and everyone will be evaluated according to the work done ! Its not our job to judge. Pray for the people who you think are going wrong, thats the best one can do for them :)
