Paul was not a Pentecostal.
He did not focus on what Jesus was doing in his life.
Paul's focus was on the objective (outside of me) Gospel of Jesus Christ.
Pentecostalism is a very subjective religion that focuses on what Jesus is doing in your life. Instead of what Jesus has done with your life.
In the Gospel Jesus puts us to death in himself and brings forth a new creation in himself. Romans 6:6 and 2 Corinthians 5:17.
All this was done while we were yet sinners, Romans 5:6. It was 100% objective.
Paul was a follower of Jesus. This was Paul's life;
Philippians 3:8 Modern English Version (MEV)
8 Yes, certainly, I count everything as loss for the excellence of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have forfeited the loss of all things and count them as rubbish that I may gain Christ,
Jesus was everything to Paul. Why should it be any different for us.
Christ should be your everything, but not because of what you may think that he is doing in your life.
That's a bit foolish really, the scriptures you quote concern US and are about us, about what God has done for US and what He is doing IN US.
I'm unashamedly interested In ME, Christ IN ME.
We are all passionate about Jesus, we worship Him with a passion.
The motive must be the same as with Paul. Didn't you catch that from Philippians 3:8?
Amen! Philippians 3:8.
This Robert Pate I think that he thinks we belong in the bleachers where the really, really bright people are.
Thank the Lord for the later rain on the day of Pentecost, for the Lord said He would do Joel 2:28-29.

That is you for sure.
Anyone who wants to obey Jesus you tell them they are too concentrated on themselves. You are a worker for Satan.
Pentecostalism is the devils tool to get you to focus on yourself, instead of the objective Gospel of Jesus Christ.
Have you plucked out your eye yet, Mr Hypocrite? Matthew 5:28, 29.

You are ignorant. Tell me, why would I pluck out my eye if I obey? Answer the question, worker for Satan.

Just listen to yourself...you go against people who work out their salvation, and you don't know you are a worker for Satan?

Tongues was to show people in Judaism that God was taking the Gospel to the nations, not the law. So: sometimes there has to be Gentiles there to hear the Gospel (in their own normal language).
there must be practicers of Judaism present to hear the miracle and realize that the above reason is true. If they really get it, they then go tell Gentiles.
Other uses of tongues are not to be continued and just plain aren't the same thing.

I'm not. This is:
Nowhere does Paul write that there is one gospel or one church. OPaul knows there is more than one gospel and one church in the Bible. You're just deflecting from the fact that you endevour to NOT keep the seven fold unity of the Spirit which includes only one baptism.
And stop calling me stupid.

Gal 1 at the risk of anathema.
Eph 4, I Cor 1, 1, the one body with 7 points of unity.

Paul's gospel to us is not the same gospel that was preached in M, M, L or J. There is more than one gospel in the Bible.
One body does not equal one church.

There is definitely only one Gospel. That's why it says "preach THE Gospel to every creature". " THE Gospel is the power of God unto salvation for anyone that believeth". It is THE Gospel of Christ. Not "a" Gospel.

Jesus taught that one and only gospel when he walked the earth.
Jesus' words are forever.
