NASB | 1 Corinthians 13:1 If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but do not have love, I have become a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | 1 Corinthians 13:1 ¶ If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love [for others growing out of God's love for me], then I have become only a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal [just an annoying distraction]. |
Bible Question:
I have looked and tried to find the answer in the bible and the only thing i can even find on it is in: 1 Corinthians 14 Speaking in tongues: 1) Can any one who lives by Gods will and not their own speak in tongue? 2) The Christians who truly do live for God and Jesus only, can they receive the gift of speaking in tongues, or are you born with that gift? 3)What exactly does Hebrews talk about? When you can answer me please e-mail me at: TMiller1674@msn.com. Thank You, so much for taking the time to read my question. Please try to get back to me a.s.a.p., because i have tried to search and i can find nothing and i have asked so many people that are of Gods children and have not received any answers. Thank You So Much, and God Bless You All, Theresa Miller; age:16 |
Bible Answer: The truth about tongues ...................... This is from a couple of my old posts: Only twice of the ten conversion experiences, In Acts, did the new Christian speak in tongues: -2:41 ... 3,000 saved. The 120 spoke in known languages (2:6 ff) -2:27 ... many daily -4:4 ... 5,000 saved -8:14-17 ... Samaritans -8:34-39 ... Ethopian -9:5-19 ... Paul (tho he spoke in tongues later (1 Cor 13:1)) *10:44-48 ... Cornelius and his house ... they did speak in tongues -16:14-15 ... Lydia -16:31-34 ... jailer and his house *19:5-7 ... about 12 disciples of John ... they did speak in tongues. Take note ... Tongues is always a known language ... in every case in the NT -Mark 16:17 ... new to them ... -Acts 2:4, 11 ... This fulfills Mark 16:17 ... and they are speaking someone elses language (tongue) -Acts 10:46, 19:6 ... we don't know which languages they spoke ... a mini Pentecost. -1 Cor 12:4-11 ... tongues is one of many gifts of the Spirit vs 10 ... it is a gift needed in the church ... so that when foreigners come or they go to another language group, they are understood. vs 11 ... the Holy Spirit is the one who determines who will get ehat gift, including tongues vs 28 ... notice the placement order of the gift vs 30 ... not everyone will speak with tongues (14:23) vs 31 ... since it is a lesser gift, we should not eagerly desire the gift of tongues. -1 Cor 13:1 ... what language did the angels speak to men? I think it was in language of the hearer. vv 8-10 ... tongues is temporal and will cease by themselves (knowledge and prophecy will cease when the prefect comes) -1 Cor 14:2 ... tongues does not speak to men but to God vs 4 ... tongues edifies oneself vs 5 ... prophesies is greater than tongues vs 6 ... tongues is unprofitable vs 9 ... unknown speech is speaking into the air - worthless vs 13 ... need interpetation (vs 5) vs 14 ... pray in a tongue, my spirit prays, but my mind is unfruitful vs 19 ... instruction over tongues vs 21 ... tongues is lips of strangers vs 22 ... tongues are for a sign to unbelievers, prophecy is for believers vs 27 ... tongues spoken one at a time, then interpeted ... and at the most three speak vs 39 ... don't forbid to speak in tongues - the downfall of some. There is a balance Satanists were the first babble, like some churches practice today: http://members.aol.com/loveogod1/tdm/theplan.htm http://www.cuttingedge.org/news/n1253.cfm Now you need to search the Scripture ro see if what I say, and others, including Dollar, is truth or trash. |
