Interpretation of Tongues (Holy Spirit Series)
...
We have been looking at the subject of the Holy Spirit in the life of the believer and as we have pointed out, the Holy Spirit dwells in us, conforming us into the image of Jesus. Everyone who has received Jesus Christ as their Savior has the Holy Spirit indwelling him. As Paul said,

The Gift of Helps (Holy Spirit Series)
...
Shall we turn in our Bibles to 1 Corinthians 12? Paul is describing the gifts of the Holy Spirit as they operate within the church. He then likens it to a body, which is one, and yet has many members or many parts. Although there are many parts, it is only one body. So also is Christ.
For by the one Spirit are we all baptized into the one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into the one Spirit. For the body is not one member, but many. If the...

Paul tells us that:
And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of tongues. (1 Corinthians 12:28)
It is interesting to me that the first mention of government in the Bible is in the prophecy of Isaiah.
For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and...

They were men who were filled with the Holy Spirit. Jesus had said to them that they would receive power after the Holy Spirit had come upon them.

Intro. The church council in Jerusalem is considering the issue of the relationship of the Gentile believer to the ceremonial law of Moses. The bottom line is, is it necessary to become a Jew in order to be saved? This is exactly what the Jews had believed for years. Now that Gentile believers are being saved through faith in Christ, is it necessary that they go through the ritual of circumcision and the other ceremonial requirements of the Mosaic law in order to be saved. This is not an issue of keeping the moral laws of God, they are nonnegotiable. Peter ...
