| The Last Days begin on the day of Pentecost when the Holy Spirit was poured out upon believers.
What follows the Last Days? The End Of The Age marked by the return of Christ Jesus.
Until our Lord returns His Holy Spirit is moving in response to the preaching of the Gospel of Grace through Jesus Christ.
There is no scriptural basis for believing otherwise though cessationists choose to believe that the Holy Spirit power is no longer available or needed. Often they use this verse to support this belief:
But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away. - |
For those who resist the Holy Spirit power understand this: "You have an issue with control."
This is not a theological issue. It is a personal issue. I am responsible to my Master alone.
You are responsible to your Master alone.
So, the issue is a personal one at its foundation. However, the corporate effect of how believers deal with the issue determines the weakness or power operating in the Body Of Christ.
We must repulse the tendency to substitute tradition for Truth. "Thy Word is Truth". The main purpose of Jesus coming to earth was not for us to be saved. Rather it was for us to be baptised with the Holy Spirit. |
