1 | Holy Spirit / Tongues for Today? | Acts 2:39 | Huron | 151099 | ||
Kalos, Thanks for replying. In a lot of ways I agree with you, in some I don't. Tongues does not seem to be a basic doctrine. To me, basic topics include the life, death, burial of Christ, believing in His name and his being God, being baptized as a believer, fellowshipping with other believers, and witnessing to others. I would bet that if we were to go get a cup of coffee somewhere we would see that we agree on a LOT of things. Just to let you know where I'm coming from, I've been a believer about 25 years. Now I'm revisiting all of the "truths" that I had been taught to make sure that I had not run in error. I'm hoping to examine the best arguments for and against tongues being for today. I've seen arguments that made sense for both views. I'm not a newby to the Word having read the NT through over twenty times, and the entire Bible several times. I appreciate your input. What are your views of tongues? |

Huron: Good to hear from you. You write: "Tongues does not seem to be a basic doctrine." When I was writing my previous post, I used "basic" for want of a better word. (I'm not sure what word I should have used, but "basic" wasn't it. Probably I should have used the word primary or fundamental.) Like you, I think you and I might agree more than we disagree. By the way, you can read what I believe about any number of Bible subjects by using the Search function whose link appears in the upper left hand portion of the Forum page. When the Search page comes up, under "were submitted by user" type in the name kalos I commend you on your re-evaluation of what you've been taught. You have the right idea. That's the best thing anyone can do. In recent years I've been doing it myself. I have learned much through forum participation and have had to rethink and sometimes re-align my views to line up with what the Bible says. It is my pleasure to admit when I am wrong and gain a better, more accurate understanding of the Bible. I will gladly tell you my understanding of what the Bible teaches about tongues, but I'll do that in a separate Note, which I'll start on right now. In fact, what I should do is post the best arguments I've found for and against tongues being for today. Then I'll tell you what I personally believe. That would make 3 posts.
