Hi George, You said,"I address this question only to those who are aware of and have experienced the utterance of toungs." I have and here is my response. Acts 2:1-4 1 When the day of Pentecost had come, they were all together in one place. 2 And suddenly there came from heaven a noise like a violent rushing wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting. 3 And there appeared to them tongues as of fire distributing themselves, and they rested on each one of them. 4 And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit was giving them utterance. Acts 10:44-47 44 While Peter was still speaking these words, the Holy Spirit fell upon all those who were listening to the message. 45 All the circumcised believers who came with Peter were amazed, because the gift of the Holy Spirit had been poured out on the Gentiles also. 46 For they were hearing them speaking with tongues and exalting God. Then Peter answered, 47 "Surely no one can refuse the water for these to be baptized who have received the Holy Spirit just as we did, can he?" No, just as when one Received the new birth by faith, so must one receive the infilling of the Holy Spirit as on the day of Pentecost. If you wish to continue the discussion, let me know. God bless |

Thank you, my brother. It is funny in an odd sort of a way how one can read something so many times and get so much more each time. Yet, I still haven't the fullness of these scriptures you quote within. Read josiebible’s response posted Fri 08/1/03, 11:49pm if you will. There is meaning therein that is as yet indiscernible to this meager beggar. Your comments thereon will be welcomed. George |

josiebible said... "Hi George: I received the Holy Ghost and did not realize it for a while. I think it was because I did not understand. I Now speak in an unknown language that is a mystry to me. But I know this that God is praying through me a perfect prayer. And I am edified and encouraged. I am a new Christain and have a lot to learn and understand. The Bible does say this gift is for all who ask and believe. I do not speak in other tongues in Church or around other people who do not understand. This is between me and God and I want all that God wants me to have. Hope this helps. A Christain, Joann Any further questains please feel free to email me at jmmgjmrtn@earthlink.net Hi George, I believe Acts 8:14-16 addreesses this post best.. 14 Now when the apostles which were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent unto them Peter and John: 15 Who, when they were come down, prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Ghost: 16 (For as yet he was fallen upon none of them: only they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.) As believers the next step is to receive the Holy Spirit by faith. There is no 'work' involved. Without a little more input from josiebible, I can't know her testimony as to where she was and what the circumstances of her yielding were, but it appears that she came to the understanding that tongues accompanies the Holy Spirit and she simply stepped into that truth by faith. That truly is all there is to it. Once we cease to resist and doubt that it is God's will to fill us and that speaking in tongues is the first sign of stepping from one level to another. There is no great effort needed. She effortlessly received. You can do the same in your own prayer closet. All believers have the presence of the Holy Spirit in some degree, but when one receives the fullness with the initial evidence of speaking in tongues, they are in a new place, a more intimate place. And the transition is notable, detectable. Sorry, I have no words to adequately express it. But does that answer your question? Also josie said she does not believe in speaking in her 'prayer language' in church or during service I should say. I agree that one should not speak out in the prayer language causing a distraction from the flow of the service. However, to pray quietly not distracting or during the alter service when praying for someone to pray in the Spirit quietly if the Holy Spirit so leads. 1 Corinthians 14.. Paul spoke in tongues, but the gift of speaking in tongues during a service is different. My E-mail address is franh@tvsa.com. God bless |

Thanks for your response. Joann said it all. No amount of discussion could say it better. Where the speaking of toungs “in church” is concerned, I do not simply "believe," I know what Paul said about speaking of toungs in church. Please do not take offence, for I mean none, but as I have said many times on this sight; I really don't want to know what anyone else "believes" or "thinks." It is my desire that I should back up my belief by scripture. Likewise, when I ask a question, I ask for scriptural foundation to the answer. This will make a wise man think, and hopefully get him into scripture to find the answer; even if he knows, or thinks he knows it, myself included. It also brings out the "thinkers" and those who simply believe what they have been programmed to believe, as well as those who use the "Hunt And Peck" method for their scriptural belief. When I receive an answer as “pure” as that of Joann, the discernment that God has blessed me with desires no more. I don’t even need any of the “so called” details of what she said. It is the analization and dissection of such that scrambles the brain of the analyst and dissector, and often destroys the one who is analyzed or dissected as well. Thus, the Enemy has accomplished his goal…I perfer DISCERNMENT. Once again. Thanks for your response George |

Hi George, No offence taken..however I would like to comment on two of your statements. First "I don’t even need any of the “so called” details of what she said." I would like to remind you that you said, "Read josiebible’s response posted Fri 08/1/03, 11:49pm if you will. There is meaning therein that is as yet indiscernible to this meager beggar. Your comments thereon will be welcomed." Otherwise, I would not have made any further observations... In reference to 'speaking in church' the verse in 1 Corinthians 14:28 says "but if there is no interpreter, he must keep silent in the church; and let him speak to himself and to God." Please note the second part of that verse. I too prefer discernment. God bless |
