  Listen to what Paul says about it in 1 Corinthians 14:2-4: “For one who speaks in a tongue [an unknown tongue] does not speak to men,  but to God; for no one understands,  but in his spirit he speaks mysteries. One who speaks in a tongue edifies himself...” So, what are we doing when we pray in this prayer language, this unknown tongue?   Paul  says we’re doing three things. First of all, we’re speaking direct to God, not to man;  that’s a privilege in itself, to be able to speak directly to Almighty...

Todos sabemos que la misión de la Iglesia incluye predicar a Cristo a los nocreyentes para que se salven los elegidos de Dios. Pero los seres humanos somos criaturas extrañas. Tenemos la capacidad de convencernos de que ‘hablar’ de algo es tener la realidad. Esto lo vemos todos los días en el mal-llamado ‘evangelio de la prosperidad’. Estos predicadores ‘hablan’ mucho de impartir bendición, prosperidad y victoria - y sus congregaciones creen que lo están recibiendo, aunque realmente todos viven igual que todos los demás alrededor. Como oyen hablar mucho del asunto, creen que...

El comienzo seguro de la muerte espiritual de una iglesia es un giro en su predicación. Poco a poco se deja de predicar la clara Palabra de Dios que condena nuestra idolatría, nuestro egoísmo, y nuestra rebeldía contra Dios, y que ofrece como única solución el Cristo crucificado y resucitado.    La predicación se vuelve muy moralística, enfatizando buena conducta, buenos valores, buenos sentimientos. O se vuelve psicología humanista. Siempre se usa la Biblia - pero ahora el uso de la Palabra es más bien para buscar ejemplos o moralejas. ¡En serio!   Se manipula el...

Like angels, demons are created beings. Demons, or devils, are evil spirits that work against God’s will. The late Derek Prince, a general of deliverance, called demons “persons without bodies.” That’s a fair description, since demons have a will, intelligence and a personality. Demons are often called by their assignment or function, such as anger, lust or bitterness. Ultimately, all demons have the same assignment. Jesus exposes the plans of the enemy in John 10:10—to steal, kill and destroy. All demons work to achieve this end. A spirit of infirmity, for example, tries to destroy...

What Is the Trinity?

 

Sometimes people use three different names when referring to God: God or Father, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit. But these are more than simply different names for one person; they are, in fact, the names of three very distinct persons. But even though God the Father, God the Son (Jesus), and God the Holy Spirit have eternally existed as three distinct persons, there is only one God. This is called the doctrine of the Trinity. The idea of three persons and only one God is difficult to understand completely. Even so, it is one of the most important ideas of the Christian faith.

 

The Bible’s View of the Trinity

 

The word “trinity” is never found in the Bible, but the idea represented by the word is affirmed in many places. For instance, in Genesis 1:26 God said, “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness.” His use of “us” and “our” implies that more than one person was involved in creation. The only other beings that God could possibly be referring to are angels, but we are not made in the image of angels but “in the image of God” (Gen. 1:27), so this verse must imply that there is more than one person in God.

 

When Jesus was baptized, “the heavens were opened to him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and coming to rest on him; and … a voice from heaven said, ‘This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased’ ” (Matt. 3:16–17). At this moment, all three members of the Trinity were performing three distinct activities: God the Father was speaking, God the Son was being baptized, and God the Holy Spirit was resting on the Son.

 

Similarly, when Jesus sent his disciples out to do their work, he commanded them to “make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit” (Matt. 28:19). In saying this, Jesus is affirming that all three members of the Trinity are distinct in their personhood (the Father can’t be the Son, for example). Jude 20–21 also affirms the three distinct persons in the Trinity: “Pray in the Holy Spirit; keep yourselves in the love of God, waiting for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ.”
