1 | Is speaking in tongues a necessity ? | Acts 2:4 | Hank | 122092 | ||
tgc: I've always thought that a great deal of the misunderstanding surrounding the speaking-in-tongues mystique could be resolved simply by substituting the word "languages" for "tongues." And a great deal of the aura could be removed from the slain-in-the-spirit mystique by reading Hank Hanegraaff's "Counterfeit Revival". The naked truth about us human beings is that we by nature simply don't want to know the truth that will make us free. Our illusions are so comfortable! --Hank | ||||||
2 | Is speaking in tongues a necessity ? | Acts 2:4 | tgc | 122093 | ||
Hank, Yes many of us are comfortable with our illusions however many people are mislead by all of the garbage that has slipped into our churches. With the Word Faith crowd having gained such a huge following and their ability through the TBN network to raise millions of dollars to spread their lies we must be ever viligant to be ready to give a reason for the hope that lies within us with gentleness and respect. To that end try to keep an open line of communication with people who have been hooked by the lies of false teaching and be ready to share the Truth of Christ with them at every opportunity. Another point of interest along this line is that many people re taken in by this type teaching because they do not really understand the doctrin of grace. They are still trying to earn their way into Heaven. Finally today people have always been seaking an experience something different something big there fore they are especially looking for this in the church and in some of these movements they are easily able to find it. Even if it is not real. Scripture tells us that in the last days people will not put up with sound teaching but they will heap up for themselves teachers to scratch their itching ears. In plain lanuage people for the most are going to go where they can hear what they want to hear. And you know and I know that the Gospel is offensive by it's very nature. Always remember that the greatest spiritual gift is love so let us go foward in love sharing the Gospel of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ to all who have ears to hear. In The Love of Christ, tgc |
