How is it that you, as a Christian, are able to comprehend and cherish the truths of Scripture while the majority of people cannot? It's not because you are smarter or wiser. Rather, God chooses the foolish and weak to shame those who are proud. The only reason you have eyes to see is because of ...

In the early part of John’s Gospel, Jesus has a conversation with Nicodemus, a Jewish leader who questions Jesus’ authority. Jesus answers him, making it clear that being “born again” is necessary in order to see the kingdom of God. Alistair Begg reminds us that the new birth of which Jesus spoke...

The early Pentecostals all believed that the gift of tongues consisted of authentic human languages. Both Charles Fox Parham (Topeka Outpouring) and William J. Seymour (Azusa Street Revival) believed that. How is it then that most of today's Pentecostals and Charismatics identify the gift of tong...

Early Pentecostals not only claimed to speak in tongues but also to write in tongues. What occultists call "automatic writing" and psychologists call "psychography" was once considered normal among Pentecostals. In this episode of Digging Deeper, I examine Agnes Ozman's tongue writings.

Sam Storms and Wayne Grudem are respected scholars who promote modern glossolalia. Storm's book “The Language of Heaven” is considered to be one of the best apologetic defenses. In this video, however, I would like to demonstrate how Biblical Greek refutes modern glossolalia. Thereby, the researc...

It’s a very serious thing to claim to speak on behalf of God. The Old and New Testament Scriptures are not soft on those who put false words in God’s mouth and misrepresent Him. The Bible gives us clear standards and tests for us to apply to those claiming to be prophetic in the modern Church. In...

In Episode 5 of ‘The Rule of Faith’ Pastor Adriel talks about the Holy Spirit. Is the Holy Spirit an impersonal force, or is He God? What are the biblical proofs for the deity of the Holy Spirit?

Pastor Chris examines a common Charismatic manifestation to teach what is and what is not genuine fruit of the Holy Spirit. God's Spirit does not cause the Christian to lose control and thrash around. On the contrary, such a manifestation is attributed to demonic activity in the New Testament. Th...

Is modern glossolalia biblical? In this video, I go through all the verses on tongues in the Book of Acts and 1 Corinthians. I demonstrate that the gift of tongues was always the supernatural ability to speak in previously unlearned intelligible human languages. It was never ecstatic speech or fr...

Would you rather have Jesus above you in heaven or beside you on earth? In John 16:5-14 Jesus explains why His ascension is good news for His disciples and the rest of the world. The big idea of this final episode is that it is better for Jesus to be above you than for Him to be beside you.

Since Jesus ascended into heaven, what should we be doing now? Should we also be try to “ascend” up to God? This episode looks at Hebrews 10:19-25 because this passage clearly teaches that Jesus’ ascension opened up the only way for humans to meet with God for worship.

Where is Jesus right now and why did He ascend into heaven? This episode examines Ephesians 4:1-16 in order to answer these two questions. This study will show how the gift of the Holy Spirit maintains the unity of the church and fills the world with the presence of Jesus. Even though Jesus’ resu...
