Abstract:
The Powerfull gifts, like the gift of Faith and Miraculous and Healing Acts, Are Extraordinary powers which are given by the Holy Spirit. Pentecostals believe that these types of gifts are Biblical gifts that may also be received today. Hence, appealing these gifts, they embark on evangelical activities. In order to investigate whether or not this belief is reasonable, the present research uses a critical -analytical approach to study the works attributed to the Pentecostals and Biblical verses. It is proved that, in addition to the fact that the Bible regards that the age of divine gifts has ended, it warns of the belief the existence of such gifts at the Last Days, considering them as transient and those who have this claim as liars.

Title :تأملی بر آموزه عطایای قدرت (نیروبخش) در کلیسای پنطیکاستی
Abstract:
عطایای قدرت (نیرو بخش) همانند عطیه ایمان و کارهای معجزه آسا و شفابخش، دریافت قدرتی خارق العاده است که از سوی روح القدس اعطا می شود. پنطیکاستی ها معتقدند: این نوع عطایا، از جمله عطایایی کتاب مقدسی هستند که امروزه نیز قابل دستیابی است. از این رو، آنها با تمسک به این عطایا به فعالیت های تبشیری می پردازند. در این پژوهش به بررسی صحت یا سقم این مسئله، با (روش تحلیلی ـ انتقادی) پرداخته و پس از تحقیق در آثار منسوب به پنطیکاستی ها و آیات کتاب مقدس، اثبات می شود، علاوه بر آن که به تصریح خود کتاب مقدس، عصر و زمانه عطایا به سر آمده، حتی کتاب مقدس نیز نسبت به وجود چنین عطایایی در آخرالزمان هشدار داده است و آنها را همیشگی ندانسته، مدعیان آن را دروغ گو خوانده است.
