House Church Talk - Re: cessation of spiritual gifts

[Adamkwyhmed at aol.com]

Dear Sir:
I perceive that you are more into deviding the body of believers than  
building and edifying each other up.  If you wish to live a life without  miracles, 
that is your choice.  G-d will not force them upon you.   However, do not 
force your choice of living upon others.  We are each to  work out our own 
salvation with fear and trembling.  As for being able to  have answer to everything, 
that very statement conotates that you are being  proud.  You are not the Holy 
Spirit.  Also from the point of view of  learning, the moment you think you 
know everything, you cease to learn anything,  and become fixed upon what you 
have learned.  I am being easy on you,  however I take issue with you forcing 
your views of cessation of gifts upon  those of us who see them being 
demonstrated every day.  You state that they  will turn us from glorifying Jesus 
Christ, however in my growth I have learned  to recognize that these gifts would not 
be possible without the intervention of  Jesus Christ: both in giving and 
implementation.  So I glorify  Christ.  That is what the Holy Spirit does.  My 
dear sir, You need to  repent from calling the works of the Holy Spirt, by the 
impartation of Jesus  Christ, working through the body of His,(Jesus Christs'), 
church, as being  delustional.  You need to thing higher of others than of 
yourself.  If  not, pride is at your door, waiting to cause you to sin.  I hope 
you take  this rebuke, meant in love, and consider your ways.  If not, than 
the  Master you serve is not the one who saves and reconciles, but rather 
condemns  and destroys, and I will have no part in following "your" definition and 
form of  messiah.  If you are insistant on not repenting from the error of your 
 ways, to me you will become anathema.  My hope and prayer,  though, is that 
you would repent and be reconciled with the body of  believers.
Sincerely,
A fellow BondServant of the Lord Jesus Christ and the Persecuted and  
Suffering Church,
