There is the "Carismatic movement," and I am sure many more who abuse, misuse and misinterpret what is taught about such. Personally, I have never expected to hear another language like german or chinese or swahili. I wouldn't have reconized them as such if I had. I can't say that I am "fully" comfortable with everyone who professes to speak in toungs either. But I do know what Gods word says about the utterance of such. And the Holy Spirit has given me discernment. I should think that anyone who believes the word without trying to change it would also. I know that there are those who love to be noticed in church, and elsewhere as well, but I have no intention of letting their actions sway what I know of the word, and why I am in the church in the first place. I believe in toungs. Once again, I also know what Paul said about them. If one does not feel comfortable around toungs, fine. If another does, that's just as fine. The belief or disbelief of such isn't going to get one into or keep him out of heaven. Personally... If it's of God... and He said I could have it.... I WANT IT.... John, if you don't think it's of God, please, I don't want to hear it. God Bless George |

Dear George, In a previous you said "Toungs edify the individual, nothing and no one else." I showed that Paul states tongues is a sign, not for believers, but for unbelievers. 1 Cor 14:22 So then tongues are for a sign, not to those who believe but to unbelievers; You said " But I do know what Gods word says about the utterance of such." Frankly George, I am at a loss as to what you are talking about! God never said we can have any gift for the asking. The gifts of the Holy Spirit are given to those whom God is pleased to give them to. They are distibuted among the body according to God's will. It is also likely that the miraculous sign gifts were for the early church and began to disappear as the cannon of Scripture was coming to perfection. Heb 1:1,2a God, after He spoke long ago to the fathers in the prophets in many portions and in many ways, these last days has spoken to us in His Son,... John |

As I previously stated, I did not intend to spark a debate on this matter. It has nothing to do with the question posted and I respectfully decline your argument. Thus I consider it closed. George |
