    Yes, this is one such understanding of v.28

    Matthew 16: 27 For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his works. 28 Verily I say unto you, There be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom. I think, verse 27 refers to His second coming, and v.28 refers to the event that happened on the day of Pentecost. So, verse 28 has already occurred whereas v.27 is yet to occur.

    You are welcome

    Luke 6:13 And when day came, He called His disciples to Him and chose twelve of them, whom He also named as apostles:

    Secular definition has nothing to do with spiritual significance.

    Yes, gift of salvation is for individual. So also spiritual gifts. It follows that another agent is not involved (interpretation for gibberish talk). Gibberish talk from person's spirit only needs a guess work by another person's spirit! Please don't quote Paul to defend him. You need to have at least two sources to substantiate that. Self-claims are of no value. Paul was crafty to push his agenda, so he needed status of apostleship badly. Please read Luke chapter 14 to understand the requirement for discipleship with the Lord. Jesus never called Paul an apostle for the simple reason that there cannot be more than 12 apostles to judge the twelve tribes. Did Paul have his own tribe? I believe he was celibate. Ephesians 4:11 contradicts Jesus' words. Do you believe Jesus or Paul? Paul will not give salvation for you.

    Paul defines spiritual gift as one that is for common good. So praying for your personal edification doesn't come under this. You have a wild imagination to back up what is not plainly indicated by Paul. God, Jesus and chosen apostles never claimed Paul as an apostle. Becoming pastors for the sake of living is not the call of Jesus. God can understand your wordless prayer too.

    Neither God nor Jesus can be liar. Jesus called him a 'chosen instrument', not an apostle because there cannot be more than 12 apostles. Unfortunately, rank outsider and ministry-absentee, Paul made many claims against the sublime truth of Jesus' words. Nevertheless, I consider Paul to be a saint and disciple of Jesus, but never an apostle. If follows, I reject Paul's speculations if they contradict Jesus' words
  9. Knowingtruth
    I am against the claim of the involvement of the Holy Spirit in gibberish talk. Paul never said that it is a spiritual gift. Diverse tongues and its interpretations are spiritual gifts. Neither Jesus nor chosen apostles accepted Paul as an apostle. It was his self-claim, like, so many others. One can be wordless in prayer
  10. Knowingtruth
    Canon is man-made. That is why we have different versions. Both chosen apostles as well Paul did many wrong things as they grew spiritually. They did not mature instantaneously. Chosen apostles never accepted Paul as an apostle, neither did Jesus. Self-claims have no value
  11. Knowingtruth
    Spiritual gift is for common good. Personal edification is like 'selfie'--unconnected with the Holy Spirit. There is no record of the Holy Spirit falling on Corinth church as it happened on Pentecost. Paul was not an apostle; it was his self-claim, like, many. 1 Corin. 14 speaks of involvement of persons's spirits unrelated to the Holy Spirit. Note the word 'spirit', not 'Spirit'! The Holy Spirit may intercede, but not with animal sounds and behavior. Interpreter's position was an invention of crafty Paul to eliminate the nuisance there. This was not found when Paul was there for one and a half years.
  12. Knowingtruth
    The most controversial gift of the Spirit is speaking in tongues. Only diverse tongues and their interpretation is the gift of the Spirit, not the unknown tongue speaking observed in Corinth church.

    So you end up wrong after finding Christ?

    Matthew 7:3 And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye? 4 Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye? 5 Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye. Many people seem to think negatively on the above verses. They simply stay put unbothered about the problems of the eyes. The positive approach would be to make it a point to take out the beam from our eyes so that one can go forward to remove the mote from another’s eye. Both are a requirement for a spirit filled life.

    The correct punctuation for this: "while we wait for the blessed hope--the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ," (Titus 2:13) is: "while........the glory of our God, and Savior Jesus Christ." Similarly all the other verses can be refuted. We have one One God the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.
  16. Knowingtruth
    Jesus never gave importance to performing miracles. We believe Him for eternal life, not because we were cured. Therefore, keeping His commandments are a must, not any outward signs.
  17. Knowingtruth
    That is definitely different from total rejection.
  18. Knowingtruth
    Yes, you are right. Our life is a message to them as they compare with theirs.
  19. Knowingtruth
    I have read Koran.
  20. Knowingtruth
    To a very limited extent directly. Indirectly plenty. I have been involved in social work benefitting them. My chauffeurs and maid servants for your home have been Muslims. They see our lives different from others.
  21. Knowingtruth
    Muslims are better off in the sense of knowing Jesus compared to total rejection by Jews. Total acceptance is a different story.
  22. Knowingtruth
    Thanks. It is obvious that the truth becomes a cry in the wilderness. People prefer compromise and comfortable concepts.
  23. Knowingtruth
    Who is your reference? James or a rank outsider with self-claims?
  24. Knowingtruth
    That is your presumption. Faith without works is dead for your information.
  25. Knowingtruth
    Death and resurrection are part and parcel of Christ's mission. We don't have to proclaim His death as Paul indicated. We need to be witnesses for His resurrection and life. Yes, good works are must to reflect Christ in us, like, Good Samaritan.
