1 | Christianity -- American style vs... | Matt 28:19 | EdB | 128110 | ||
Ouch!!!! You have hit the heart of the problem. We are keeping the gospel in the meeting place instead of taking it to the market place. Why? In most instances a Pastor' success and the size of his pay is decided by the number of people attending or size of offering. Where do you think they are going to put their focus? Lay people think it isn't their problem, they paid good money to insure that they don't have to go out and witness. Seems like everyone has forgotten Matthew 28:18-20 and Acts chapter 1 Church is to equip the saints to do the work of the Lord. Therefore it really isn't the pastor's job to win souls it is job of everyone that attends church and that should be everyone that calls himself a Christian believer. I imagine it is going to be real embarrassing in heaven when each person is asked how many they shared Jesus with. And even more embarrassing when asked how many lead another in the sinner's prayer. Perhaps that is the clothing the man hadn't put on when he was cast out of the wedding because of inappropriate attire. I can not see how someone can say they believe in Jesus and not tell everyone they meet that doesn’t know Jesus about Jesus. To me that is a contradiction of terms. And you know what that may just be how God and Jesus see it. EdB |

Greetings and welcome to the forum, Speaking in tongues is when the HOly Ghost who lives in your heart is doing the talking and not you. There are 2 types of tongues. The first is for personal use to glorify God and for self edification. This needs no interpretation because it is spoken to God and God alone. It can be used when you choose. The second tongues is for Public use. It can be exercised only as the Spirit wills. Tongues here is for the edification of the church. This is the type that needs to be interpreted. In answer to your question yes a church of 500 can all speak in tongues at the same time for their personal use. Hope this helps. prayon Many people have been robbed of the blessing God has for them by believing that speaking in tongues isn't for everybody. |
