The Day of Pentcost with the Baptism of the Holy Spirit. Does the Holy Spirit continue in the same Baptism today? Do the 9 Charismatic Gifts of the Holy Spirit continue today. Is speaking in tongues one of the gifts of the Holy Spirit, and do Christians speak in tongues today. Are dreams and visions from God, and how can I know? Who is the Holy Spirit today and what does the Holy Spirit do in the lives of Christians?
The debate over the Christian doctrine of rapture. What does the Bible say, and what do historical Church fathers teach. Why many teachers in the modern Church reject the doctrine of rapture.
Paul knew his future of arrest and eventual martyrdom, and knew more trouble was coming to the Church. As Gnostic false prophets were already active in the Church bringing in their doctrines of the demons. Also, Paul was already exposing the presence of false apostles who were bringing into the Church what Paul identified as another Jesus, by another Gospel, by a false Holy Spirit. All those situations were already happening, now Paul is going to his own death at the hands of Rome. With Pauls departure he warns of corruption from within the Church coming from the Church leaders themselves who would draw men away from Jesus Christ unto their own agendas. Also false prophets would arise as devouring wolves from within their own ranks not sparing the flock. It seems like he is passing the torch unto one of his fellow apostolic leaders whom Paul is giving final instructions and warnings.
