1 | Is prophecy dead? | Matt 11:13 | whyndell | 1767 | ||
When they speak in tongues what language do they spesk? This is the only legimate use of tongues. Does everyone in the gathered assembly speak English? if they do then there is no reason for tongues. Re-read 1 cor 12-14. Tongues are not a sign of spirituality, and assuredly not a sign one has the Holy Spirit. The false doctrine there is a second "filling" is the cause of all the confusion regarding this issue. If this doctrine were legitimate the Apostle paul would have addressed the issue openly. Yet he does not, nor another writer of the NT. Eph 1.13-14 clearly answer the issue of the Holy Spirit, salvation is the only thing necessary. Even here Paul never says anything about a "higher level" of exprience. So I know this seems insensitive, you have never spoke inn tongues, tongues was always without exception an earthly language. As to prophesy,is never fortelling events, nor delivering a new personal message from God to the Church, that ceased when the Lord had the writers of the NT complete the letters He wanted written to address the churches needs and the needs of belivers. So if they are saying thus says the Lord they are in grave error and need to cease the "fake" or "false" activity. I do not debny the salvation of charismatics, as long as they have responded to the call of God. Whyndell |

Do you realize the question of tongues is one subject about which there can be no pure objectivity? Everyone on earth has either spoken in tongues or they haven't. Either way, one's answer will be influenced by one's experience in this matter. | ||||||
3 | 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. |

The best way to describe tongues is (Just another language) Ever heard someone speaking in another language! Thats called tongues! You can't understand anything thier saying, so most people just look and stare at them strange. God separated our language along time ago. And it shocked them all! Paul said, I am glad that I speak in tongues more than you all! So when you see it for the first time.....you kinda look at them strange, because you cant understand anything thier saying. Unless thier is someone thier who can interpret thier (tongues)or language. Church tongues as (I call it) will be the one language we will all speak after we get into heaven.After all we once all spoak in the same language before and surly God will return that to us in heaven. The Bible says that when you pray in tongues you pray of things that you know not of. Wow, what a big help! Also I wanted to say all of this is because When I was sixteen years old, I was in my bedroom (At home) when the Spirt of God began speaking though me in tougues. I wasn't even going to church at the time and I didnt understand God like I do today. So remember God will meet you right were you are. P.S My mother went into shock........lol, just a foot washer :) | ||||||

I only see evangelization as the object of tongues in scripture. On what scripture do you base the sort of experience that you had back when you were not in fellowship or under appropriate leadership? In Him, Doc |

Remember, Jesus ate with the sinners. The chistians didn't understand that! He came back for the lost, not the saved. Every time Jesus done something that was breaking the law as they say, they wanted to kill him. But, did that make him wrong in doing what he did! I think what you want me to say to you is in Acts 2. But my spirit wants to remind you that after Jesus died, three important things happened.1st,He left his name (the name of JESUS)and he said to use it! 2nd,He sent back the Holy Spirit to comfort us (maybe thats what happen to me) 3rd, We are the temple of the Holy Spirit. (Where else would the Spirit live). Jesus assonished even the wise. They didn't understand how He could know so much. I am one of his followers. I believe that Jesus died on the cross for our sins.The same spirit that lives in him, lives in me. I don't know everything but I get more wisdom each day. Remember to keep the spirit of meekness (Forever learning). My goal here is not to have a bible war. But help those who need help understanding the bible. Religion has destroyed the true teachings of Christ. | ||||||

Interesting statements. I apologize, but I do not presently have time to show how many places you have missed the point of scripture. You might start by actually using a concordence and looking for the word religion in the New Testament. Look in partiular at the book of James. In Him, Doc PS This forum is not for Bible Wars. It is for Bible Study. Contending over the truth of scripture is never a waste of time. |
