I guess you can see from this and the previous posts of mine on this subject, I didn't include examples of tongues as you describe because I don't see the second description in the NT. It seems pretty clear that each time these miraculous powers were used, it was an obvious demonstration of supernatural power, something that was so extraordinary that the news "rang around the world." I would be the last person in the world to put an absolute "no way" on this kind of activity which would be sorta like putting God in a box. But I do want to be a "doubting Thomas" just as the Bible depicts and question these kind of claims of miracles. I'd have to see the evidence myself as so many people honestly and sincerely believe in them with a great amount of niavete. There again, I'm also thankful that this issue, miracles in this modern age or not, is NOT linked to our salvation. I'm thankful our Father only expects us to obey Him and become a christian. I would urge you to keep an open mind and be cautious in this area. God bless you, dear friend and thanks for your response. --Rowdy |

Rowdy As for seeing for yourself I think would prove little. Remember the children of Israel passed through the Red Sea and three days later questioned God. I'm totally convinced we either accept God, Salvation and the works of the Holy Spirit by faith or we don't. If a man was raised from the dead before many the arguments would arise, was he really dead, who raised him God or Satan, was this all some kind of trick, was he really raised from the dead or was this a hallucination, are the witnesses credible, was there any before and after proof of his death and resurrection. Remember many of the same people that cried for Jesus’ death were the ones that stood and watched Jesus call forth Lazarus. Now I’m not putting the sign gifts in this same category I’m just saying seeing is not believing. Faith must be exercised. EdB |
