Amir Tsarfati: Parable of the Ten Virgins

Best as I can understand, Amir believes the wise virgins had the Holy Spirit. The foolish virgins did not. The foolish only had an outward appearance, but God did not know them personally. 
 
The wise virgins were continually being filled with the knowledge of God because they had received His Holy Spirit. The foolish thought they knew God but they had not committed their lives to Him. They were only religious and not born again.
 
 Wisdom, according to Amir, throughout the Bible stands for the Holy Spirit, God's wisdom.

Amir did not say that you lose the Holy Spirit, he said some people don't have the Holy Spirit, just religion and this is not the same. This is evident in that there is no continual fellowship with God and there is no fruit of the Spirit in their lives. Therefore they had no oil when the Bridegroom, Jesus, came.

See if you think this is what he said. It took him a while to build the background, but it seems to come together at the last part of the teaching.
 
We must continue to be filled with the knowledge of God each day as we study His Word. In that way we know we have oil because His Holy Spirit bears witness with His Holy Word. Therefore, we are wise virgins. 
 
However, we must ask forgiveness for our sins as we believe in Jesus. Then God gives us His Holy Spirit. Simply joining a church does not make us born again of God's Holy Spirit.  Pray right now and receive from God.

     "When granted many years of life, growing old in age is natural, but growing old with grace is a choice." Billy Graham   PSALMS 92:12-15  The righteous shall flourish like a palm tree, He shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon. Those who are planted in the house of the Lord Shall flourish in the courts of our God.   They shall still bear fruit in old age; They shall be fresh and flourishing, To declare that the Lord is upright; He is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in Him.   I was born again 70 years ago. Eight years after my mother gave me birth, Father God gave me His Holy Spirit because His Son, Jesus Christ was born of a virgin to die for my sins and give me a clean heart so that I could be born of His Spirit. Born Again!   The New Birth  (John 3:1-17)   There was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews....

What are good Bible verses for healing?

Image
   Psalm 147:3: He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds. Proverbs 17:22: A joyful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones. James 5:15: And the prayer of faith will save the one who is sick, and the Lord will raise him up. And if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven.   Isaiah 33:24  "And the inhabitant shall not say, I am sick: the people that dwell therein shall be forgiven their iniquity."   Frazer's commentary on Isaiah 33:24  in Penny Pulpit says in short,  original sin is the root cause of sickness.    Matthew Henry's commentary on Isaiah 33:24, " The people that dwell therein shall be forgiven their iniquity, not only the body of the nation forgiven their national guilt in the removing of the national judgment, but particular persons, that dwell therein, shall repent, and reform, and have their sins pardoned. And this is promised as that which is at the bottom of all other favours; he ...

Is Your Name Written There?

Image
Revelation 13:8 KJV   "All inhabitants of the earth will worship the beast—all whose names have not been written in the Lamb’s book of life, the Lamb who was slain from the creation of the world."   I believe the ones in the tribulation time who have not accepted Jesus will be the ones whose names will not and can not be written in the Lamb's Book of Life. This is the only restriction. God knowing whose names are there is not a restriction on having one's name written there.  It is our choice to be part of the elect, but we MUST CHOOSE JESUS!  Repent today and ask Him to forgive your sins, and invite His Holy Spirit into your heart.  The Heavenly Father is waiting for you to come. He is ready to write your name in the Lamb's Book of Life. Come to the REAL JESUS today!  Isaiah 30:18 (NLT) But the Lord still waits for you to come to him so he can show his love and compassion. For the L...
