Not every person that calls themself a Bible scholar would I be comfortable absorbing their teachings.

A scholar knows the original languages of scriptures and of the peoples of the time of the scripture writings. They are  very bright, very knowledgeable,  have the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, and on occasion do discover new and different insight from those they had previously held as proper dogma.

The rest of us, including popular exuberant pastors/teachers, well we espouse opinions mostly. Many with  good motivation, but few well reasoned  for the lack of knowledge of scriptures in  original language and a lack of cultural language usage from the time of the writing of scriptures.

And they know the true and literal Words of the Bible.

The literal Words of the Bible with reference to the original. That they should but we can't speak for everyone and we can't speak of their interpretation. 

Unless is given to us the specific matter and the bible references for its support and the other bible references that may be used for rebuttal. 

Not just He said, She said and followed by their titles and years in the ministry. 

Some times that denotes how many years someone has spent without understanding something specific about the truth. That we are saved by faith alone. And we are judged by refusing to believe in Jesus the Son of God. And that there is a group of people who have died in ignorance of the Gospel and cannot be accounted in either group of believers or unbelievers. Simply they have  neither believe or deny faith in Gospel of Jesus Christ.

God gave us his Son and He called him Jesus.

Charismatic movement..

Goes back allot farther but we do tend to believe say it bloomed if you will Azusa Street. Five pages in and no one will be able to "prove" the gifts are gone or dead. To know "being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus". And yet you me sin .. we do and think oh .. not good yet oddly cannot stop what He started in you. See He has never lost. And anything God starts always grows it cannot die. He can only make life. Satan comes to kill steal and destroy..He came to give us life and give it more abundantly. 

You do notice what is almost never talked about here right? They say there are over 7000 promises. That means GOD spoke it and you never have to ask beg .. He promised it. Real Psa 91 read Isa 53 read Isa 41 10. At my wedding I had him read all the promises in Deut. It was a AOG Church. He was in charge of the Choir. If I told you some of the songs he wrote you would know them :). I love MUSIC and ..not sad but he was the reason I keep going. Oh he loves JESUS so much. 

See I believed what my Father said. Oh I know what man says but I have a choice. See I can look around and how others believe and watch or oooh this took years for me.. or I can just blindly believe what He said. I don't seek after gifts.. I don't seek after angels I don't seek after experiences. Sharing your experiences is wonderful never stop that is in no way seeking them. Your giving glory to your Father of our lord Jesus Christ don't let anyone take that from you. 

So I see dead rise still I see deaf hear I see lame walk I see blind get new eyes. Satan can not in anyway create. Its shocking at what some believer believe Satan can do. 

 Pentecostal, Word Of Faith, Baptist, AOC.. Four Square.. haha the list it to huge. I look for "Yeshua/Jesus Christ came in the flesh died on the cross for the worlds sin was buried rose the 3rd day He is the only way to the Father".
 

I let you know this.. when doubt is pushed the wall and all you see left is that one person that gets made fun of called names that gets cast out used abused yet you noticed they have such faith.. you ask for help and GOD always comes through. I have countless stories.. He never fails. See its Satan not them that lied to them.. like the song.. GODS not dead.. gifts are not gone.. anyone can from their heart ask Him.. hey Father if I am wrong here in any way I repent in JESUS NAME and change me! But.. seen it walked it heard it.. I found doubt stops HIM ever time.. ask Him. 

This one did hurt. a little.. Again.. I am one of them. Sorry if I have ever done anything ever to say something to hurt you..

So true Knotical, speaking in tongues was done away with.  According to the Bible, this gift and the other gifts of the spirit were always conveyed to persons by the laying on of hands of the apostles of Jesus Christ or in their presence.  Thus, after their death and when the individuals who in that way had received the gifts died, the miraculous gifts resulting from the operation of God’s spirit must have come to their end. Such a view agrees with the purpose of those gifts as stated at Hebrews 2:2-4.

Hello there, 

I am not a scholar so correct me if i am wrong but isn't THE SOURCE of those miracle & tongues & gifts and prophecies  and everything you mentioned in your post is God?
Those People died but THE SOURCE of those signs and gifts didn't. 
They were able to do all those things through God's Spirit.  Isn't God's Spirit still dwells in us too? ( I am saying "us" because I am assuming that we all are follower of Christ here in this forum)

1 Corinthians 3:16
NKJV
Do you not know that you are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?
Romans 8:9
NKJV
But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. Now if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he is not His.

So aren't we'll be able to do same?  Or (as scripture quotes) we will be able to do even greater things.. Its not my word, Jesus's words Himself ..
John 14:12 Very truly I tell you, whoever believes in me will do the works I have been doing, and they will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father. 

Or its different with us in this period of time??
As Hosea 4:6 says, “My people perish from lack of knowledge... ”  I wouldn't want that for me or anyone so please,

I would like to learn and see where in the scripture it says that everything is ceased now and people cannot do those things anymore, even with God's Spirit dwelling in them. 

Thank you.

From what I have seen and heard they also say there is more than one way to be saved. which contradicts the Bible.

 

I would really like to know about this.  Can you please post anything or direct me to anything,  that confirms what you've claimed above and said that "you your self has seen it "  that "they say there's more than one way to be saved". If you have seen it, I would like to see it too and learn.

One can go on u tube and search for " Joel Osteen and Opra interview" where they agree there is more than one way to heaven.

The Bible says john 14

6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

Neither one of them is "charismatic."

when I search him some say he is, others say he is inspirational and some say prosperity I guess one can pick which he fits into.
