The difference between a continuationist and a cessationist.

Strange Fire Q&A, Part 1 with John MacArthur and Phil Johnson — June 30, 2013

PHIL: Explain the difference between a continuationist and a cessationist.

JOHN:  Well, a continuationist is somebody who believes everything continues.  That what Jesus did, He’s still doing.  What the Apostles did, they’re still doing.  Which means, by that they mean revelation, they mean revelation. They talk about prophecy being from God.  God’s still speaking through people, what is essentially the Word of God.  They talk about tongues, speaking in foreign languages which we all know to be and every examination has proven to be non-language.  And they talk about healing.  Those are the things that the Lord is still doing.What they’re saying when they’re continuationists is not…we all believe the Lord is still working, right? 

We all believe the Lord is still saving, as we heard Andrew say. We all believe the Holy Spirit’s still sanctifying. We believe that the Holy Spirit is still illuminating the Word, that God is still using the Holy Spirit to build the church, to honor Christ. We all believe in the redemptive work of God in the fullness of His work in justification, conversation, sanctification, bringing us to glory.  All of that is going on. The only question is whether or not all the miracles that were characteristic of the Lord and the Apostles are still going on. 

PHIL:  Specifically what Paul called apostolic signs, the signs of a true Apostle, 2 Corinthians 12:12.

JOHN:  Right, and see that, 2 Corinthians 12:12 is critical because Paul says the signs of an Apostle WERE signs and wonders and miracles.  Those were the signs of an Apostle which is so obvious that you have many people today who claim to be able to do those things, calling themselves Apostles.  They take on that title as if it could legitimize their impotence somehow, and then they claim to do miracles which they never do.

The cross assaults your emotional sensibilities. Then the cross collides with your intellectual pride, and then it crushes your self-determining will. You want to be a Christian, do you? It's the end of you. You're done. Try to sell that. This is not -- listen, this is not the gospel of self-fulfillment. This is the gospel of self-denial. It's not about you becoming all you can be. This isn't the army. This is about the end of you. — John MacArthur

Mark and avoid. Jonathan Roumie spoke at Rededicate 250 and he said he had a “soul fusion” with Jesus. Soul fusion refers to a profound spiritual concept where two souls, or a person’s ego and their higher soul, entangle to become a single, unified energy.

“Playing Jesus has allowed me to have this sort of soul fusion with Jesus in a way I never thought I’d experience.”

Yes.

@MattWalshBlog The 1619 project framing is the politicized lens here, not yours. Slavery was a universal institution. Anyone engaging seriously with that history knows this. https://t.co/hev3wmi8vL

This is worth watching. Ben Stein and R.C. Sproul talk about evolution and the movie “Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed.”

Out of nothing, nothing could possibly come. There is a Creator; and He is God.

Roman Catholicism is NOT Biblical Christianity! It hijacked Christianity blending paganism, worldly philosophy, and New Age Mysticism into Christian terminology!

It masterfully manipulated the masses discouraging push back with the threat of excommunication or even death!

They silence opposition by intimidation, slander and bullying. In centuries past they would torture and “un-alive” them.

They, at the top, are a rogue fraternity of men loyal to Romanism over Christ.

Roman Catholicism is masterfully designed by Satan himself and founded on the rock of anti-christ.

Want proof? It’s likely waiting in the comments below courtesy of Rome’s minions!

God’s Own Commentary on the Cross. — John MacArthur // April 19, 2019

Then comes the second three hours, and it begins at noon when essentially is at its zenith, and it is a shock, because that second three hours begins with darkness falling on the land. The word gē in the Greek could mean the earth. It could mean simply darkness covered the planet. It was already dark on half the planet; perhaps darkness covered the rest as well.

Roman historians Phlegon and Tertullian actually wrote about this strange darkness that came over the earth. There’s a document called “The Report of Pilate to Tiberius,” and in that report it notes that the emperor was aware that in all the world on a certain day, from noon to three o’clock everyone had to light a lamp. God just may have turned out the lights.

Now God had interfered with the sun on other occasions. Joshua 10, the sun stood still, which wasn’t the sun standing still, it was actually the earth ceasing to rotate. In 2 Kings 20, the sun on the dial moved backward. And in Exodus 10:22 and 23, the plague of darkness swept across Egypt. So there were times when God took control miraculously of light and darkness.

There is no explanation for this on a human level or a physical level. Luke 23:45 describes it this way: “The sun was darkened.” Here it simply says, “Darkness fell.” But the definition that Luke gives us is this: “The sun was darkened.” Actually, the term is ekleipō from which we get eclipse.

Now this wouldn’t be a natural kind of phenomenon because Passover was in the middle of the month, and the month was always a new moon, and by this time, the moon was full. This was supernatural darkness. Why? Somebody suggests, “Well, God was throwing a veil over the suffering of the Lord Jesus.” It’s been also suggested that this is an act of divine sympathy, as if God is weeping and it’s the darkness of sorrow. Others have said it’s a divine protest. What was God saying by the darkness? Darkness in the Scripture is a symbol of judgment. It is a symbol of judgment.

Again, going back to Isaiah chapter 13, I’ll just give you a few illustrations, there are many. We read this in Isaiah 13:9, “Behold, the day of the Lord is coming, cruel, with fury and burning anger, to make the land a desolation; and He will exterminate its sinners from it. For the stars of heaven and their constellations will not flash forth their light; the sun will be dark when it rises and the moon will not shed its light. Thus I will punish the world for its evil and the wicked for their iniquity.” Clearly, darkness is associated with judgment, and that judgment is the final judgment on the final day of the Lord.

Just a couple of other illustrations. In Joel, again, looking at the future day of the Lord, Joel chapter 2, verses 30 and 31, “I will display wonders in the sky and on the earth, blood, fire, columns of smoke. The sun will be turned into darkness and the moon into blood before the great and awesome day of the Lord comes.” Next chapter and final chapter of Joel, verses 14 and 15, “Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision! For the day of the Lord is near in the valley of decision. The sun and moon grow dark and the stars lose their brightness.”

Javen Ivey says Steph Curry is not a Christian.

“He’s not even surrendered [to Jesus]… Y’all believe he’s a Christian because he wrote Philippians 4:13 [on his shoes]… Friendship with the world is enmity with God. He’s in friendship with the world… I pray he comes to the truth”
