1 | Tongues - do you realize... | Matt 11:13 | Xapis | 1796 | ||
That is true in every situation in life, we can never be truly objective. What we can do is attempt to get all of our issues in the open, being as completely honest with ourselves first and then we can approach objectivity. Now having that said let me say the following about what I have learned. First of all, I have never spoken in tongues. I have read an account of a modern missionary who while encouraging his native friend, spoke to the friend without any accent while delivering a message that the missionary thought God wanted him to share. I have also had a close friend in another state, who was also one of my pastors who had a prayer language that he did not understand. He did not think that the prayer language made him more spiritual, that he needed to pray in that language or that I needed a prayer language. He also walked consistantly in the Spirit, which was evidenced in that he learned from me( what humor is not allowed). So, I don't do tongues, I have had modern experiences related to me that demonstrate both the ability to speak in languages that you don't know and praying in an unknown language. I have had many experiences related to me about the unholy and unruly nature of those that speak in tongues. So, I will continue to walk in the Spirit and as 1John 4:1 says "test the spirits". The tests to date demonstrate a consitency with the scriptures by some and a deviation by others. Looks like the Spirit is alive and well, and unfortunately the tempter and counterfeiter is also up to his usual tricks, divide and conquer. |

Hello 4ever, Yes. All believers receive the Holy Spirit upon salvation. Tongues is not evidence that one is "spirit-filled"! Eph 1:13 says "In Him, you also, after listening to the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation--having also believed, you were sealed in Him with the Holy Spirit of promise" Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |
