Goodguy We must be careful of feelings! We must trust in scripture to guide us. But we must properly interpret scripture making sure we aren't filtering our interpretation process of scripture through preconceived ideas, biases, prejudices, and past teachings. Many cling dogmatically to doctrine that contradicts other established doctrine found elsewhere in scripture. Also know that some positions of doctrine have been debated for hundreds of years with out resolution. So for one person to say I'm right and everyone else is wrong is just as absurd as another saying I'm right and you are wrong. There are men and women of distinction on both sides of the speaking in tongues issue. Most are similarly educated, of equal intelligence, all possessing high standards of Bible study, dedication, faith and holiness yet they differ on this subject. Why this has occurred I can't answer with any certainty. I have an opinion but it isn't popular and for that reason I will not offer it. But I believe it will be answered when the church is brought back into unity. |

All through scripture we see people questioning things they could not reconcile to scripture as they understood it. So Jesus gave us a test. If it glorifies God and brings people to the saving knowledge of God then it must be of God. Luke 11:17-18 (NASB) 17 But He knew their thoughts and said to them, "Any kingdom divided against itself is laid waste; and a house divided against itself falls. 18 "If Satan also is divided against himself, how will his kingdom stand? ... Mark 9:39-41 (NASB) 39 But Jesus said, "Do not hinder him, for there is no one who will perform a miracle in My name, and be able soon afterward to speak evil of Me. 40 "For he who is not against us is for us. 41 "For whoever gives you a cup of water to drink because of your name as followers of Christ, truly I say to you, he will not lose his reward. Acts 14:4 (NASB) 4 But the people of the city were divided; and some sided with the Jews, and some with the apostles. |
