    • Yes

    Not everyone had the indwelling of the Holy Spirit in the Old Testament.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    In the Old Testament, the indwelling of the Holy Spirit was not a universal experience for all individuals. Instead, the Holy Spirit would come upon specific individuals for specific purposes, such as prophets, judges, and kings. This is seen in instances where the Spirit empowered individuals like Samson or David for their roles. However, the indwelling of the Holy Spirit became more widespread and accessible to all believers after Jesus' death and resurrection, as promised by Jesus himself. Therefore, it is true that not everyone had the indwelling of the Holy Spirit in the Old Testament.

    What is the difference between foretelling and fortune-telling?

    • Fortune telling can only happen as lead by God

    • Foretelling involves witchcraft and demonic influence

    • There is no difference between foretelling and fortune telling

    • Fortune telling uses tools to predict the future

    Correct Answer
    A. Fortune telling uses tools to predict the future
    Explanation

This method relies on the belief that these tools can provide insights into a person's future. On the other hand, foretelling refers to the act of predicting future events without the use of any tools but rather through supernatural or intuitive means. Therefore, the correct answer states that the main difference between foretelling and fortune telling lies in the use of tools for predicting the future.
