1 | when do I spake in tounges | Acts | New Creature | 48611 | ||
Paul asked" 1 Cor. 12:30 do all speak with tongues? And of course the obivious answer to Pauls question is No. tounges in fact is the gift that is to be least desired of the gifts of the Spirit. Paul said I would that ye rather prophesied 1 Cor. 14:5 I would that ye all spake with tongues, but rather that ye prophesied: for greater [is] he that prophesieth than he that speaketh with tongues, except he interpret, that the church may receive edifying. 1 Cor. 14:1 desire spiritual [gifts], but rather that ye may prophesy. tounges is for self edification |

2 | when do I spake in tounges | Acts | inmyheart | 48629 | ||
New Creature It has been stated earlier that this topic has been well debated, and probably always will be, but as you stated "tongues is for self edification". My question is, what is wrong with self edification? Do you self edify? Or do you prophesy? I here so much about this subject, but I never hear anyone claiming to doing any of the above (Tongues, interpret, prophetsey), only to zero in on how wrong it is to speak in tongues. You even stated that the obivious answer to Paul's question, "do all speak with tongues" (1Cor.12:30) is No, but in the next verse that you quote (1Cor.14:51) I would that ye all spake with tongues...etc. Is Paul say No to tongues, or is he saying Yes to tongues? Whatever your answer, it must have been important for Paul to write about or be inspired to write, wouldn't you say so? I have read another post giving web sites that would confirm that tongues are wrong, but how about the web sites that would affirm speaking in tongues. Lets say for the sake of argument, that speaking in tongues for today was true, then it would be the choice of the individual to do so, right? After all, your name is written in the book of Life because of your confession of faith in Christ Jesus as Lord and Savior, not because you didn't speak in tongues. I just don't see the logic, if some believe in tongues, fine, let them be edified! Love is the evidence of all things. Thank you for your time in reading this. I pray that we all come in the unity of the faith..Eph.4:13. God's blessings |

Paul said: 1 Cor. 12:31 But covet earnestly the best gifts: and yet shew I unto you a more excellent way.(The more excellent way is love - 1 Cor. 13) Paul told us to "covet earnestly the best gifts" So even Paul knew that some of the spiritual gifts were to be more useful and more desirable than gifts like tongues. Then Paul said: 1 Cor. 14:39 Wherefore, brethren, covet to prophesy, and forbid not to speak with tongues. Paul said to covet to prophesy. I don't think He said to covet tongues. However Paul concluded by saying "forbid not to speak with tongues" Covet and fobid not are key here, don't you agree? |
