1 | Questions on Tongues | 1 Corinthians | JLY | 114423 | ||
First of all, I get the feeling that this is all new to you people speaking in tongues. Prophecy from Isaiah says this: Isa 28:11 “No, but with broken talk, and with a strange tongue, he will give his word to this people.” Tongues is just that, another language that’s given by God. Here at Pentecost tongues is given to the disciples after the baptism of the Holy Spirit. It is generally a sign that someone has been baptised in the Holy Spirit when they begin to speak in tongues, but not always. You will know them by their fruit Jesus said, not by spiritual gifts. So the meaning of tongues in Acts 2:4 is simply a gift from the Holy Spirit, an other language to speak to God with, and its very helpful in every day prayer. And all of them were speaking in tongues together. How to I get that, verse 6 in Acts 2, “When they heard this sound………” One person talking doesn’t really cause that much of a noise but many talking together does and it attracted attention, and saved the lives of 3000 people that day. What’s the meaning of tongues as I have described it. The meaning is the same as in Acts 10:46: “And they were talking in tongues, and giving glory to God.” They were talking in tongues, not one person but they were all talking in tongues. It is not a command by the pastor of our church that we speak in tongues but as we are led by the Spirit. We sing praise and worship songs, sometimes for an hour or more and we get to a place where the Spirit of God just takes over and we begin to sing in tongues. Its most Sundays but there may be more people singing in tongues one week than there is the following week if you see what I mean. It is the most beautiful sound you could hear people singing praises to the Lord in tongues. It is used in giving glory to God. Hebrew’s 1:2 “Has” is the word here. God has spoken through Jesus, but do you think that is it. That God has stopped speaking to His people, what every happen to. I feel sorry for you if you have never heard the voice of God. The people in our fellowship who bring a prophetic word are either the prophets we have or one who is gifted with a prophetic word from the Lord. Not everyone has this gift. Jesus said this, Mar 16:17 “And miraculous signs will follow to those believing these things: in My name they will cast out demons; they will speak new tongues;” Mat 10:19 But when they deliver you up, take no thought how or what you shall speak; for it shall be given you in that same hour what you shall speak. Proof of God speaking to His people. Do you think that you are left alone to walk out our salvation, is not the Holy Spirit given to help you. And here in the book of Acts: Act 19:6 And as Paul laid his hands on them, the Holy Spirit came on them, and they spoke with tongues and prophesied. Act 19:7 And all of the men were about twelve. And “they” spoke in tongues and “prophesied”. It doesn’t say, that they were twelve prophets but it does say that “they “ prophesied. It doesn’t matter what I say for you are to blind to accept the truth. So bless you. As I said to the other lad, whoever he is, out of a three hour service every Sunday tongues is sand or spoken for about ten minutes. The Corinthians were being told of by Paul for abusing tongues, we don’t. We move in all of the spiritual gifts, does your church.God bless you Hank, my namess John. |

Scripture ... Isa 28:1ff (vv 11-12), 1Co 14:21 .......... Isaiah is prophesy of judgment. The foreign language was Assyrian. Paul is reminding the church of this (1Co 14:21). |

I do apoligise I got Isaiah quotation wrong. The Lord Jesus bless you. see I am not against nor past learning. But when you worship in a church that has so much love its hard to take the judgement of those who are not wanting to move on in Christ. Out of a three hour service about ten minutes people sing and worship in tongues and there is no more beautiful a sound except the last trumpet maybe. When you really go out for God He really speaks to you. If you have never heard the voice of God you are missing so much. He is only a prayer away. | ||||||

You had the Isaiah reference correct (28:11 ... 12) ... But I wanted to show you that Isaiah and Paul were saying that speaking in tongues was a sign of judgment. If you study tongues, you will see this to be true. Plus, tongues is a human language and is -one of many gifts (1 Cor 12:4-10) -given, as all gifts, by Him (1 Cor 12:11) -a lesser gift, so shouldn't be desired (1 Cor 12:28, 31) -but should not be scoffed at (1 Cor 12:12-27) -like other gifts, not possessed by all (1 Cor 12:29-30) -need to be excerised with love (1 Cor 13:1) ... not with boasting, pride ... (vs 4) -temporal (1 Cor 13:8) -a sign for unbelievers (1 Cor 14:22) -spoken by one person at a time, then interpeted (max three people speak and have it interpeted) |
