1 | Where in Acts does it say that? | Acts 1:1 | mark d seyler | 167963 | ||
Hi Mitch, In Jude, and in Eph, we are told to pray in the Spirit. These do not serve as proof texts that praying in the Spirit is praying in tongues, because there could be other ways what we can pray in the Spirit, as far as Eph. and Jude are concerned. These texts do not of themselves equate praying in the Spirit with praying in tongues. Praying in the Spirit could be praying under the guidance of the Spirit, which I could do either in tongues or in English. 1 Cor 12 is ministry of the body's members one to another. Ch. 14 brings in the guidelines for when we are gathered together. Of the 120 people in Acts speaking in tongues, this was the evangelistic manifestation of speaking in tongues, speaking an earthly language to share the gospel. Praying in tongues is the speaking of a heavenly language in prayer to God. Remember what Paul wrote: "Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels". Anyway, I hope this clarifies my views. I don't really know what more I can add, so rather than continue in debate I will close. If you have a question for me, I will answer as best I can. |

What does 1 Cor 14 mean when Paul says I will pray with the spirit, and he says that when he prays in an unknown tongue his spirit prays? And in Acts, how were they speaking in another tongue in order to share the Gospel, It does not say that when Peter preached he was speaking in another tongue, if they spoke in tongues in order to share the Gospel, how did so many understand Peter, and come to repentence? Did he speak in all those differnt languages at once. Here is something you can study out for yourself, I have leanred through certain history texts, that at that time, every Jew spoke at least two languages, Aramaic, and the language of their country, such as Egypt, Asia, etc. So they didn't need the tongues, in order to preach. God Bless, Mitch |

Hi Mitch, The disciples speaking Hebrew, which was the language of the Jews at that time (I can give you more info on that in a different thread. The Bible is pretty clear about that, as well as other sources.) would not have gathered the croud. The disciples speaking all the languages represented did, as they proclaimed the wonderful works of God. This is different than praying to God, in a heavenly tongue, that requires the gift of interpretation to be understood. In 1 Cor 14, Paul is contrasting praying spiritually, and praying intellectually. Both have their places. Love in Christ, Mark |
