1 | Does speaking in tongues come naturally? | Acts | Reformer Joe | 92264 | ||
"Speak for youself, Joel, and not me. You assume too much. I've lived long enough to make the distinctions." Then try learning to distinguish between an "l" and a "!" "Point is you see nothing of what transpired in the upper room on the day of Pentscost and suppose a lot you can't support. " Not nearly as much as you are assuming, judging by your posts in this thread. Assuming that they had Scriptures in their possession is anything but a stretch. So what do YOU think was going on in the upper room? Please support your suppositions with Scripture. "I'm in much agreement with you but I'm not about to throw the baby out with the bath water. I know what can and cannot be supported with the word of God. That's what good Bible study will do for one." Ah, yes. The "good Bible study" that the church lacked for 1850 years of its existence. How wise 20th- and 21st-century American Christians are! They should have had more of us in the early church. Then maybe there would be no denominations and all of us would be writhing around on the floor in Christian unity... --Joe! |

"Not nearly as much as you are assuming, judging by your posts in this thread. Assuming that they had Scriptures in their possession is anything but a stretch. So what do YOU think was going on in the upper room? Please support your suppositions with Scripture" Acts 2. 2:1 And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, AS THE SPIRIT GAVE THEM UTTERANCE. If you want to add to that you will be assuming. That's anyones best shot who wasn't there! You do know what assuming does don't you? Personally I'd run with what is written. It's enough and it's still happening today. ---------------------------------- Ah, yes. The "good Bible study" that the church lacked for 1850 years of its existence. How wise 20th- and 21st-century American Christians are! They should have had more of us in the early church. Then maybe there would be no denominations and all of us would be writhing around on the floor in Christian unity... We are priviledged now, aren't we, in more than one way, I'm happy to say? Too bad most won't take advantage of that and allow themselves to be robbed of God's ultimate intention because of some "hangup's" that has been brought on by pride, false teaching, and/or misinformation. |

So Acts 2 tells what happened to those in the upper room, not what THEY were doing. Now show me where in Scripture the events on that Pentecost day are presented as a repeatable events, especially one that will inevitably happen if believers really want it to. 'We are priviledged now, aren't we, in more than one way, I'm happy to say? Too bad most won't take advantage of that and allow themselves to be robbed of God's ultimate intention because of some "hangup's" that has been brought on by pride, false teaching, and/or misinformation.' The false teaching is coming from your corner. Do you really think that you are wiser than all of the teachers God has raised up in His church in the 1900 hundred years following Pentecost? And you are accusing ME of pride?!? :) --Joe! |

"And you are accusing ME of pride?!?" :) Yes, along with being presumptuously dull, as in obtuse. You have no understanding and you've shown it here with me. Here's a good example: "So Acts 2 tells what happened to those in the upper room, not what THEY were doing". Acts 2 does tell us WHAT they were doing. They were in one accord. That's what they doing. One accord means agreement. If you had any senses about you you would understand that they were praying, worshipping and generally waiting on the Lord as He instructed them to do. It's called "tarrying". That's the sort of thing one does when waiting on the Lord. Maybe you don't do that at your church. Maybe that's the problem with the church in general, today. You probably praise Him in silence. Is the what you do? And you say you have the gift of what? discernment? One needs understanding for that gift to be effective. |

Dear Ken hepting, I perceive that you are very knowledgeable of Scripture; as a result, do you think it is remotely possible that what Paul was speaking about in First Cor. 13:1-8 could cover the way one might answered a fellow believer, with emphasis on verses four and five? 1 Cor. 13:1-8 Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal. 2And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. 3And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, but have not love, it profits me nothing. 4Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; 5does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; 6does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; 7bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. 8Love never fails. But whether there are prophecies, they will fail; whether there are tongues, they will cease; whether there is knowledge, it will vanish away. Just curious, CDBJ |

Great question. For the record, I've always had a problem with 13 -1 Corth. until I began to view it as the habitation of God Himself. Ergo, the kingdom of Himself with Jesus Christ being the King/Ruler. Re-read the chapter and substitute out the word 'love' with the word 'God'....That's His name anyway so you really aren't changing any words around to satisfy some bent of private interpretation. For that matter you could insert the phrase 'kingdom of God' and still be correct. Lets try it on part of it: 1 Cor. 13:1 [NASB] If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but do not have love [God], I have become a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but do not have love [abide in the kingdom of God], I have become a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. Lets extend it: If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but do not have "the mind of God", I have become a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. One more time: If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but do not have "the FAITH of Christ", I have become a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. Now when you read the scriptures elseware in the Bible Like James 2:17: "Even so faith, [the faith of Christ I live by], if it hath not works, is dead, being alone." [---] my emphasis. We can see that we must "abide in Christ" in the kingdom [which is Himself] to do those kinds of works since HIS faith is the faith that pleases God.. Why? Because it is the mind of God...equal to Himself...perfection! The center of Christianity. When I actually saw it in a Spiritual Geograpghical way then I began to see my condition with it problems that couldn't be solved until I moved over there...Abiding. |

Friend I think you are missing the whole point and I will say no more other then the following. To your response on the previous post. For starters had God wanted to use another word for the nominative, feminine, singular, in verse four, for the noun AGAPE, I am sure it would have been no problem for Him to do so; but He didn’t! What I was trying to point out to you, in a casual fashion, is that you have verbally insulted and belittled a brother on the forum with your snide answer to a question and have upset some on the forum. 1 Peter 5:5 Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder. Yea, all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble. Your’s in Love, CDBJ |

"For starters had God wanted to use another word for the nominative, feminine, singular, in verse four, for the noun AGAPE, I am sure it would have been no problem for Him to do so; but He didn’t!" But I did and gave my reasons. Sorry that you don't see it as a/my way of explaining the kingdom of God and the intimacy of how God is connected with it.. If you can point to something in that reasoning that does injury to scripture, please do...I'm open to adjustment. ------------------------------------ What I was trying to point out to you, in a casual fashion, is that you have verbally insulted and belittled a brother on the forum with your snide answer to a question and have upset some on the forum. I've been upset also and apparently I missed what you intended to point out to me in a casual way. How about giving me two outta three? Yours in love also, KNH |
