Lesson and short video of what I learnt at questions and answers at the Bible Exposition on the 7th October, 2021.

Question
Why is bro Eliano Soriano is not called Pastor?

Answer
The title "Pastor" belong to Jesus. He is the good Shepherd.

John 10:11
I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.

Pastor, Shepherd, Apostle e. t. c belongs to Jesus Christ.

Ephesians 4:11-12
:11. And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;
:12. For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:

What he gave man is functions not title.

Matthew 23:8
But be not ye called Rabbi: for one is your Master, even Christ; and all ye are brethren.

Question
Is speaking in tongues the primary sign of been baptized in Holy Spirit?

Answer
1 Corinthians 12:13
For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit.

1 Corinthians 14:9, 27
:9. So likewise ye, except ye utter by the tongue words easy to be understood, how shall it be known what is spoken? for ye shall speak into the air.
:27. If any man speak in an unknown tongue, let it be by two, or at the most by three, and that by course; and let one interpret.

The Bible even indicates that speaking in tongues without interpretation is wrong.

Galatians 5:22
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,

The important thing is to possess love.

Question

Answer
Matthew 24:6-12
:6. And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.
:7. For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.
:8. All these are the beginning of sorrows.
:9. Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake.
:10. And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.
:11. And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.
:12. And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.

Question
If man sin against each other, even to the extent of hatred how can one forgive.

Answer
God also forgives our sins.
Jesus Christ also forgives people that sin against him and crucified him. Sins have to be forgiven and forget.
If God will not forget our iniquities, no man will remain.

Psalms 130:3
If thou, LORD, shouldest mark iniquities, O Lord, who shall stand?

God bless us and continue to interpret his words in our hearts.

Thanks be to God.
