1 | Should we ask God for the gift of tongue | 1 Cor 12:11 | Jesified | 111663 | ||
Paul's reference to tongues in 1 Cor 12:29-30 is public tongues. Not all of us are meant to operate in the gift of speaking in tongues publicly and I totally agree in that aspect, but you can still receive the infilling of the Holy Spirit to speak with tongues privately, ie between just you and God. You will notice that Paul also said that "I would that you all speak in tongues..." Why would Paul desire us all to speak in tongues if he knew that it was a direct contradiction to God's direction? You are exactly right, we should ask what the Word of God says, but because we're human all of us won't have the same interpretation of scripture, although we should. I meant agreeing or disagreeing with any preconceived notion of what Kenneth Hagin Ministries stood for. That was more of a lack of eloquence on my part. I was trying to suggest them because they are the best I've read on the subject. You are also right in saying that you can learn about tongues without reading a Kenneth Hagin book. I don't care what pipe the water comes from so long as it's clean water, if you now what I'm saying. God Bless, Jesified |

1 Cor 14:18,23 If Paul spoke in tongues more than others, why is there no other reference to the expression of his gift? Might it be because he exercized this gift in private? The second reference suggests the confusion that can result when tongues are exercized in a corporate manner, so might we conclude that those with this gift are being counseled to exercize it in private? Just some thoughts. mommapbs PS: The purpose of the gifts is to edify the Church - must the edification be corporate or can it also be for the individual member? 1 Cor 14:5 |

1 Cor 14:18 ... I believe since Paul went to many places, he spoke in the local dilect. He may have spoken Greek, too. 1 Cor 14:23 ... The problem with some churches today is they all (most) speak in tongues at once, not one at a time, one at a time (vv 27-28). When they VIOLATE Scripture it is confusing, so guess who is (not) in control? Where does the Bible say "The purpose of the gifts is to edify the Church" |

Greetings searcher - I see since my departure this AM the thread has been restricted . . . you asked, "Where does the Bible say 'The purpose of the gifts is to edify the Church'?" What is the outcome then, brethren? When you assemble, each one has a psalm, has a teaching, has a revelation, has a tongue, has an interpretation. Let all things be done for edification. 1 Cor 14:26 See 1 Cor 14:1-5 Now I wish that you all spoke in tongues, but even more that you would prophesy; and greater is one who prophesies than one who speaks in tongues, unless he interprets, so that the church may receive edifying. (v5) So also you, since you are zealous of spiritual gifts, seek to abound for the edification of the church. (v 12) I uses these verses as a means of discernment . . . Blessings, mommapbs |
