4 Competing Views of Church Organization There are four different ways that believers in Christ view the development of papal power in Rome: The true position: True Christians follow the organization of exactly what God already revealed in the Bible. If God wanted a Patriarchal system, it would be revealed in the Bible and Set up on the Day of Pentecost.

What is the Gift Of Tongues? First, the New Testament gift of tongues consisted of languages of men which were spoken miraculously, without previous knowledge of the language.

How can I be born again? The New Birth is a cardinal doctrine of the Bible. Long before Jesus walked on earth God's prophets pointed to it (I Peter 1:10-12). It was the theme of Christ's preaching. He said to Nicodemus, "Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God" (John 3:3). That should settle the importance of the subject. What, then is involved in the new birth? First, there is a cleansing from sin. Paul wrote, "Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost" (Titus 3:5). The word "regeneration" means "new birth" (Vine, P.267). This cleansing occurs when a penitent believer is immersed in water, as may be seen in Paul's own conversion. The instruction he received was, "arise, and be baptized, and wash away thy sins . . ." (Acts 22:16). A clear example of the new birth is seen in the conversions which occurred on the day of Pentecost in Jerusalem. Spirit... ... https://www.bible.ca/g-how-born-again.htm
