I think, really, it makes alot of people uncomfortable to think about this kind of stuff. I've had many conversations, even with my mom back in the day, about the gifts of the Holy Spirit and all that. And I've heard alot of people who say "Well that was back then. Things are different now". And that confuses me.
Like you said, He's the same yesterday and today and until He decides to end this world. And He's still the same then.
How can things that are so clearly stated in the Bible not be believed by some of God's followers?
