1 | You need baptism of the Holy Ghost! | Acts 19:2 | tj57h@cs.com | 88762 | ||
I understand and agree! My testimony contained a very powerful revelation of scripture: Luke 11:9 And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you. 10 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened. 11 If a son shall ask bread of any of you that is a father, will he give him a stone? Or if he asks a fish, will he for a fish give him a serpent? 12 Or if he shall ask an egg, will he offer him a scorpion? 13 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him? Clearly, it is a father and son relationship (Born again) and Jesus is telling us to ask for the Holy Ghost. I try not to make too much of the feelings, one CAN be deceived by them and I believe their are many that believe in the Baptism in the Holy Ghost that have gone to excesses in some areas, but it does not negate the truth. Thank you for you kind and loving words, it was refreshing, unlike many of the responses I have gotten recently. I admire a man who makes his own decisions for himself and does not just go along with their parent’s religion, I am the same way. We have to stand before God it the light we walk in not our parents. Above all we express LOVE, I know YOU know that, currently that is my heart's prayer, to express more of his love and compassion! Let us pray for one another! Love, Tim |

2 | You need baptism of the Holy Ghost! | Acts 19:2 | Mathew | 88771 | ||
Tim, Good point about the Father, Son relationship. And I agree that we are to ask for the Holy Ghost. I see that by using this scripture for protection against receiving a unfamiliar spirit would not be taking it out of context. However I would like to know if you see it that speaking an unkown tounge is the evidence of this Holy Ghost. This I would like to discuss if that is your view on scripture. We all must ask for Christ to come into our hearts. I agree with this, because the Holy Ghost will not force himself on anyone. Your brother in Christ, MaTT |

3 | You need baptism of the Holy Ghost! | Acts 19:2 | tj57h@cs.com | 88778 | ||
I speak in toungs, have for over 10 years, makes no sense to my rational mind! I have asked God to take it away if it is not of him, and he has not. As the scripture states not all speak in toungs, so one could have the Baptism and not speak in toungs. Like I said I did not speak in toungs immediately. I believe you would manifest one or more of the other gifts though, prophesy, discernment of Spirits, or healings. Have you operated in any of the Gifts? In Acts toungs was generally spoken when they received the Holy Ghost. Would you see any harm in asking God to baptize you in the Holy Ghost or to operate in his Gifts? Just ask and see what happens. Love, Tim Will talk more when I have more time! |

4 | You need baptism of the Holy Ghost! | Acts 19:2 | Mathew | 88824 | ||
Hello again Tim, Nice to hear from you. I operate daily in the gift of the Holy Ghost. Any good work that I do unto the Lord is not of myself. For there is no good in me except that which is God in me. Any good work done to others or in ministry is also the evidence of the Baptism of the Holy Ghost. Rom 12:6 Then having gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, if prophecy, according to the proportion of faith; Rom 12:7 or ministry, in the ministry; or he who teaches, in the teaching; Rom 12:8 or he who exhorts, in the encouragement; or he who shares, in simplicity; or he who takes the lead, in diligence; or he who shows mercy, in cheerfulness. Rom 12:9 Let love be without hypocrisy, shrinking from evil, cleaving to good; Tongues were not always accompanied by recieving the Holy Ghost. For instance, compare Acts 2:2 with Act 4:29-31 And now, Lord, behold their threatenings, and grant to Your servants that with all boldness they may speak Your Word, Act 4:30 by stretching forth of Your hand for healing, and miracles, and wonders may be done by the name of Your holy child Jesus. Act 4:31 And when they had prayed, the place where they were assembled was shaken. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and they spoke the Word of God with boldness. There prayer was asking God for them to give them the Holy Ghost so that they could speak his word with boldness, to heal and do miracles in His name. "In His Name" is the key phrase here I would like to point out. Fire represents power, and the tongues represnted the instrument that God would empower on the day of Pentecost. Kind of like when my Dad would tell me to tell my little brother to do something. My words held alot more weight when I went in my Fathers name. Or like when God set a coal upon Isaiahs lips. And how he empowered Moses to go before Pharoh. The tongues that did go forth were earthly languages. And every one understood. So when I read in 1Co 14:2 For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God: for no man understandeth him; howbeit in the spirit he speaketh mysteries. I see it that this must not be talking about Pentecost because men were adressed at Pentecost, and they did understand. So I take it as unknown toungues means unknown, or unlearned to the corporate esembly being adressed. I'm comparing 1Cor.14 to the 3 instances that tongues were spoken in Acts because it says in Act 11:15 And as I began to speak, the Holy Spirit fell on them, as on us at the beginning. We must assume that the Holy Ghost kept falling the same way as it did when they spoke out earthly languages at the beginning and every man understood. But in 1Cor.14 I believe that Paul is speaking from the point of view of a person which no one around or near by can understand. It isnt the speaker who Paul was concerned about in Corinth, but I beleive that it was the unlearned people he was concerned about. Those who had no knowledge of what was being spoken, because they new not the language. MaTT |

It is such a blessing to talk to a loving encouraging brother! Praise God, I would personally not worry about speaking in toungs! All don't! Walk in the light he has given you and be blessed because you are blessed! Your fruits are evident, I am happy to have met you! I will pray for your walk and I hope you pray for mine! Love, Tim |
