The way I interpret scripture-you will have a prayer language which is somewhat different than tongues. Tongues is a spiritual gift that the Ho;y Spirit gives to people just like The Holy Spirit gives other gifts such as teaching,prophesy,healing.interpretation of tounges. All spiritual gifts are for the edification of the the Church.the body of Christ. As a believerhaving faith in Christ.speaking out loud that Jesus Christ is the son of God.sent to earth as hguman as a sacrifice for those who believe and profess Him as I stated.the Holy Spirit gives out sipiritual gifts as he sees fitm.alll for the edification of the Church.the body of Christ, If someone speaks in tongues.its ok to to do so in Church only if there is another person in Church that can interpret and therefore edify the Church, If there is noone who can interpre.that person is to keep quiet, If he does not.he is edifying himself. Just because my spiritual gift is not spealing in tongues does not mean I am not spirit filled. This believes the only way you know you are spirit filled is you immediatelt start speaking in tongues. Does this help? This church also believes we,. as spirit filled faith filled believers.get all spiritual gifts, I read the scriptures, The way I understood it is we get the gifts the Holy Spirit gives us, It may one, It may be more but its the Holy Spirit that decides and all gifts given to the body of Christ are given to edify Christ, The body can't all be eyes or ears or feet, The body has many parts with each having its own function that interacts with the other parts of the body to make a whole functioning body primed to edify Christ, | ||||||

This is gonna be long and maybe confusing. I have been going to the same church for a few years, For the last couple of years I have been questioning what they have been teaching and/or practicing. For example; You know you are filled with the Holy Spirit when you speak in tongues. Everybody who goes to this church and believes and is filled with the Holy Spirit talks in tongues. If You speak in tongues in church and no one there who hears you speak in tongues can interpret what you said,ypu can interpret it yourself. All people filled with the Holy Spirit has all spiritual gifts, These are just a few things they teach and practice. Recently they merged with another church and are now holding all services at this other church. I get the feeling that they only told a select few people when they were gonna start holding services at this other church, I was not the only one that was not told about when services were gonna switch to the other church. I am getting a very clear urge to run not walk from this church and don't look back. Because I haave been told so many times by the 2 pastors of this church that I am wrong on how I interpret scripture eyc,not sure if I can trust this feeling. Any feedback would be helpful. Thank you | ||||||

A while back,I asked a question about speaking in tongues. The answers with scripture was excellent. I went to my pastor with what I learned. He again talked over me and totally blasted me out of the water. He says all believers that have been baptized in the Holy Spirit speak in tongues. All who have been vaptized in the Holy Spirit have all gifts, What I read in the Bible says The Holy Spirit gives each person a spiritual gift and they are different and given as He sees fit. I am now scared and concerned. What do I look for in a church? I feel this church is not teaching the truth and the pastor is too focused on what he believes and will out-talk or down-talk any body who says different than what he does. Thanks | ||||||

My pastor says that the only way a person knows they have the Holy Spirit is that they will speak in tongues. Each person has their own special tongue or language He uses Acts1 and 2 to back this up. I understand those chapters say that the people praying and worshipping Jesus spoke in tongues. Peter told the people outside that when a person gets the Holy Spirit,that person will dream dreams or prophesy. Nothing was said about tongues. It eays elsewhere in the Bible that when people get the Holy Spirit,some will get gifts of prophesy,some dreams some teaching,some speaking in tongues,some translating for those who speak in tongues. I talked to him privately a couple of weeks ago about the gift I felt god had given me. He toally blasted me out of the water and said no way. Unless I speak in tongues,I do not have the Holy Spirit. If I have a gift from God,I want to use it to glorify God. If I deny the gift or try to give it back,I feel like I am calling God a liar or that I am saying I am not worthy. I am not trying to score brownie points or win an argunebt. I want to apply God;s to my life as accurately as possoble and this has left confused and shutting down. Are tongues the only way a person knows he or she has the Holy Spirit? Isit the1 gift He gives everybody? Does he gift different gifts to different people and all gifts are valuable? I know this is a lot to ask all at once? I don't want to make a mistake if I can avoid it. This is making me question my faith. Thank you Crys Ingalls |
