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 Let me also say don't dismiss it until you fully investigate it and the Holy spirit proves without a shadow of doubt that the sign gifts have ceased. I think you will find there will always be the question. If there is keep investigating, God will lead you to the answer. EdB |

Generally, I would like to agree with you in my usual devotion to maintaining an open mind but when I check my Bible again and again, I can only come up with these two same methods of gaining such miraculous power: from the Holy Ghost and from the laying on of the Apostles' hands. Those were the ONLY ways of getting this power as clearly shown throughout the NT. So I must be as you've already noticed very much prejuidiced against this kind of activity. But thanks again for your post. God bless. --Rowdy |

Rowdy I absolutely agree the only way to get this power is from the Holy Spirit. Taht is what we have been talking about. No one can do this in themselves. Therefore I'm a bit confused when you say your against this avctivity. What is it that your against? That the Holy Spirit moves through people to accomplish God's goals? EdB |
