You:
 I'd agree with that .... b-b-b-b-b-but.  The above *increase our faith*
 statement was spoken *before* the Holy Ghost was poured out.
 
 Me:
If you really believe what you're saying here, Bro. Tyler, then why do you
continue to refer to  the scripture about "mustard seed" faith, since it was
also spoken before the Holy Ghost was poured out? 

You: (From *your* post on *More Faith*)
Even from these songs.... a great measure of faith isn't needed (I know it's
terrible proof - but maybe that's what the Lord was talking about with
*faith* as a mustard seed)

Me:
In fact, the two scriptures are a part of the *same* conversation.

Luke 17:5-6
5	And the apostles said unto the Lord, *Increase our faith*.
6	And the Lord said, If ye had *faith as a grain of mustard seed*, ye might
say unto this sycamine tree, Be thou plucked up by the root, and be thou
planted in the sea; and it should obey you.
(KJV)

You:
Where's a part about *incresing faith* contained in the word post
the initial outpouring of the Holy Ghost?  Is there one?  I dunno.

Me:

2 Cor 10:15
15	Not boasting of things without our measure, that is, of other men's
labours; but having hope, when your *faith is increased*, that we shall be
enlarged by you according to our rule abundantly,
(KJV)
