Born Again but Rebellious Are You Filled With the Holy Spirit

Dr. Henry Waiters

Rebellion be in many ways in most churches today, some willfull, some ignorant. The Lord'due south will and mode for His church accept become blowsy and irrelevant because of a lack of modernity. Our academic achievement, our scientific development, our technological advancement, our powerful human spirit, prompts the states to reject and revise the Lord's fashion and substitute man's way for the church, forgetting that the Lord'southward way is aboriginal, medieval, and modern from the commencement to the finish, because He is all-wise.
Human being'southward mode is desired and so that human can be glorified. If the Holy Spirit is present and has His Manner, He will maintain a service that will glorify God from the first moment until the final. Jesus' will and way will e'er have the pre-eminence, because the Holy Spirit is in the world to glorify Jesus Christ, and non to glorify Himself. In Jesus we have our fullness, completeness, and our sufficiency. There is no room left for the celebrity of man (1 Cor. ane:30, 31).
The perpetuation of one particular act of rebellion should be noted, for it has become a tradition and believed by too many to exist directed and canonical by the Holy Scriptures, which actually says: "Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; simply they are allowable to be nether obedience, as also saith the law. And if they will acquire annihilation, allow them enquire their husbands at habitation: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church" (one Cor. 14:34,35); and "Allow the woman learn in silence with all subjection. But, I endure not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, merely to be in silence" (1 Tim.2:11, 12).
These verses are considered by likewise many to be controversial so some attempt to use the original Greek words to make them mean what they desire them to hateful in society to keep their beliefs apropos the woman in the church. I have a warm spot in my heart for built-in-over again women, and I would non intentionally injure any one of them. Merely I cannot omit or revise these verses to brand them say what they do not say.
Holy Ghost-indwelt, directed, empowered believers volition never knowingly take whatever words out of context nor force them to mean what they desire them to mean in order to prove their viewpoint. The Word of God was not given to bear witness points.
The significant of "let your women keep silent in the church" is very patently: — it is unscriptural for a woman to speak in the position of a minister over the assembly in a church house. Women are to refrain from preaching or addressing the assembly gathered for worship and are not to have office in the oral ministry building of the church.
For those who hold other interpretations, I enquire: If it is divinely ordered of God for women to pastor churches and direct the affairs of local assemblies, why did Jesus call 12 men to be His apostles; also, why is there not one single book in the New Testament authored by a adult female? 1st. Cor. Epistle; P470; Dr. O.B.Greene
Great Christian women are names in the New Testament, but not 1 received the dictation of an epistle from the Omnipotent God. Born-again women take a definite and essential identify in God's church building and His program, but they are never to usurp authority over the men.
"But they are allowable to be nether obedience, as besides saith the law."
"Wives, submit yourselves unto your ain husbands, equally unto the Lord. For the husband is the head of the married woman, fifty-fifty as Christ is the caput of the church: and He is the Saviour of the trunk. Therefore equally the church is bailiwick unto Christ, then let the wives be to their own husbands in everything" (Eph.5:22-24)
The Scripture allows women to teach women and youth in Church School or other settings, but it is unscriptural for them to teach the men or exercise the duties of a pastor over men in the assembly. These may seem to be hard sayings, but they are God'south words.
Paul says: "The things that I write unto yous are the commandments of the Lord" (1 Cor. 14:37). Paul was God's mouthpiece, ordained of and sent by God to give the Corinthians the truth. The instructions given by God through Paul to the church at Corinth stands for the churches today, in so far as guild of service and comport of believers in concerned (1 Cor. 4:17; 7:17; 11:16; 14:33).
Paul, beingness God's mouthpiece, also said that there are just two scriptural offices in the Lord's church (pastors and deacons), and he was given the qualifications for both, qualifications which clearly state they must be men (ane Tim. 3:1-13). These qualifications are to be highly regarded, even esteemed until the Rapture, when Jesus Himself will direct the order of His Church.
Since witnessing to the lost, which every laic is commanded to do, is called preaching (Acts 8:iii,iv), as well many believe that it as well means that they should be costless to do likewise inside the sanctuary, becoming a bishop, pastor, overseer, undershepherd, evangelist, or any title they choose to utilise.
The cure for division, misunderstanding and ills that exist in local assemblies tin can be summed upward in one unproblematic statement — let God's Holy Spirit completely control every idea, motive and activity of a God-called, Holy Spirit-filled pastor, and let that pastor teach from the Word of God later he has studied diligently and rightly divided the Word of Truth.
No minister has whatsoever right to wrongly separate the Word of God or avert the Word of God in order to prove his denomination points or religious opinions. There is one God, i Church, one Holy Spirit, one Mediator, ane Word of God. If God's true ministers would let the Holy Spirit, instead of the human being spirit, to lead them, and so the differences and confusion would vanish and we would take a glorious church building right here upon this earth, and have a foretaste of the heavenly experience.
"Simply if any man exist ignorant, let him be ignorant." (1 Cor. 14:38). If anyone refused to acknowledge the divine authority of Paul's teachings through lack of knowledge of the facts, the deplorable condition of that person must continue. Unwillingness to submit prevents the possibility of being instructed.
There are as well many dearest people whom even the Lord God cannot aid because their minds are like concrete, thoroughly mixed and permanently prepare, and they are not willing to listen to reason and will not allow their hearts and minds to be opened by the Discussion of God through the Holy Spirit. Peter speaks of such people as being "willingly ignorant" (2 Pet.3:v).
Paul was God's anointed apostle; through him God spoke to the believers in Corinth, and through his writing God speaks to you and me, and to all who volition hear the Word.
Everything in the church should exist done co-ordinate to the leadership of the Holy Spirit, according to divine organisation, and non the human spirit and organisation. All activities of the church should exist carried on in humility, in an orderly manner, and to the ultimate glory of God.
"Let all things be done decently and in order" (ane Cor.14:40).

Paul says: "The things that I write unto yous are the commandments of the Lord" (1 Cor. 14:37). Paul was God's mouthpiece. He was ordained of God and sent by God to give the Corinthians the truth and the instructions given by God through Paul to the church at Corinth stands for the churches today, in so far as lodge of service and comport of believers in concerned (i Cor. 4:17; seven:17; eleven:16; 14:33). Paul being God's mouthpiece also said: there are just two scriptural offices in the Lord's church building (Pastors and Deacons), and I have been given the qualifications for both, which very clearly states they must be men (1 Tim. 3:1-xiii). These qualifications are to be highly regarded, even esteemed until the Rapture, when Jesus Himself volition directly the order of His Church.

Since witnessing to the lost, which every believer is commanded to do is called preaching (Acts 8:3,4), too many believe that is also means that they as witnessing, preaching believers outside the Lord's house, the Sanctuary, should be costless to do likewise within the Sanctuary, and become a Bishop, Pastor, Overseer, Undershepherd, Evangelist, or whatever title they cull to use.

The cure for all partition, all misunderstanding, and all ills that exist in local assemblies can be summed upward in one simple argument: Let God'due south Holy Spirit completely control every idea, motive and action of a God-called, Holy Spirit-filled Pastor, and let that pastor teach from the Give-and-take of God after he has studied diligently and rightly divided the Give-and-take of Truth. No government minister has whatever right to wrongly divide the Discussion of God or avoid the Word of God in gild to evidence his denomination points or religious ideas or opinions. There is i God, i Church, ane Holy Spirit, one Mediator, 1 Word of God. If God's true ministers would permit the Holy Spirit instead of the homo spirit to pb them, then, the differences and confusion would vanish and we would have a glorious church building right here upon this earth, and have a fore taste of the heavenly experience.

"Merely if any man be ignorant, let him be ignorant" (1 Cor. 14:38). If anyone refused to acknowledge the divine authorisation of Paul's teachings through professed lack of knowledge of the facts, the lamentable condition of that person must continue. Unwillingness to submit prevents the possibility of beingness instructed. There are too many dear people whom even the Lord God cannot help because their minds are similar physical, thoroughly mixed and permanently set, and they are non willing to listen to reason, they volition not allow their hearts and minds to exist opened by the Word of God through the Holy Spirit. Peter speaks of such people as being "willingly Ignorant" (ii Pet.iii:5). Paul was God's anointed apostle; through him God spoke to the believers in Corinth, and through his writing God speaks to you lot and me, and to all who will hear the Discussion.

Everything in the church should be done according to the leadership of the Holy Spirit, co-ordinate to divine arrangement, and not the human spirit and arrangement. All activities of the church should be carried on in humility, in an orderly manner, and to the ultimate glory of God. "Permit all things be washed decently and in lodge" (1 Cor.14:40).
