1 | filled with holy spirit? | Rom 8:13 | Wlerin | 121279 | ||
My only real point was that the tongues spoken by the 120 and in the other two instances are spoken of in the same words (the only difference being of small import, considering how long Luke's letter is), thus, I disagreed with the fact that ye used different words to describe the first. As I said, petty. However, as for the rest of it, I was trying to show that the real sign of the Holy Spirit's filling is testifying, confessing Christ, that is acknowledging His sacrifice, and His greatness, and sovereignty, and rejoicing in this. Whether this is done through tongues (as with the 120), through prophecy, through words of knowledge, the goal of the Spirit is to lift up Christ. Anyway, yes, tongues is a .... gift, and we should seek it, but even more so seek to prophesy, and even beyond that, we should seek Love. I have a tendency, dealing with such things as tongues and prophecy, to become incensed and go overboard with my denunciations. In any argument, in fact, I often become polarized to one side or the other, rather than to the truth. This is a failing of mine, and I ask forgiveness. Also, note 1 Cor 14:40. Okay, yeah... case closed |

3 | filled with holy spirit? | Rom 8:13 | Wlerin | 121315 | ||
do you refer to verse 31, "But earnestly desire the greater gifts"? Okay...but tongues with interpretation (14:5) is the exception to this. There is not, in 1 Cor 12 nor in 1 Cor 14, a prohibition against seeking to speak with tongues, but rather an exhortation to seek to prophesy, to edify the church. Still, aye, if yer prayers are occupied seeking to prophesy or to interpret, or to teach, or the rest, then ye would have no time to seek for tongues, nor a reason. |

4 | Wlerin do you make other expections? | Rom 8:13 | Searcher56 | 121343 | ||
Scripture ... 1 Cor 12:28 And God has appointed in the church, first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, administrations, various kinds of tongues. The next two verses indicate no gift is given to everyone Then verse 31 But earnestly desire the greater gifts. ... and why do you want to make an expection? ... even in your verbs - seek vs desire you do. The church had a problem with tongues (1 Cor 14) and they were copying the estatic speech of the pagans - what some churches do today. Wlerin are there other expections you make? |
