I am not sure if I answered this so if I have disreguard this one. Acts 2:4 "All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit enabled them. The initial evidence of being baptized with the Holy Spirit is that you will gegin to speak with other tongues. Acts 10:44-46 Speaking in tongues is for all who is fill with the Holy Spirit. Yes, if you are led to speak out in your heavenly language there will be interpretation. otherwise, it only edify's yourself. I can do that at home, by myself. I Corinthians 14:18 Paul spoke in tongues and was proud of it. Mark 16:17 "And these signs will accompany those who believe: In my name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new tongues." Jesus said it is for all who believe: You believe and receive the gift by faith. In 1 Corinthians 12:30 Paul ask "Do all speak in tongues? He is probably talking about the gift of diverse kinds of tongues that are to be interpreted in the church service. This is one of the nine gifts of the Spirit listed in that chapter for the body of Christ. He is not speaking of the personal gift of tongues for the believer. Arent they two different things? It is just like the gift of faith listed in 1 Corinthians 12, tongues that will be spoken out and interpreted in the body, but all can have the ability to pray in tongues for personal edification. I need all the edification I can receive. But we do have to ask for it first. Thanks for the come back. joan | ||||||

Speaking "with other tongues" in Acts 2:4 refers to known languages, not ecstatic utterances, as the verses that follow verse 4 make very clear. ...... "The initial evidence of being baptized with the Holy Spirit is that you will begin to speak with other tongues." Scripture does not support this statement. Every regenerate believer is baptized with the Holy Spirit at the moment of regeneration (1 Cor. 12:13). This indwelling of the Holy Spirit in the life of the believer has absolutely no connection whatever with ecstatic utterances. Nor do ecstatic utterances have any connection with the biblical definition of speaking in tongues. Speaking in tongues means speaking in a known language that is different from one's native language. That is all it meant at the time Acts 2 was written, and that is all it means now. --Hank | ||||||
