2 | Holy Spirit / Tongues for Today? | Acts 2:39 | kalos | 151114 | ||
In Support of Cessation of Tongues [Huron: I said I would post a good argument against tongues being for today and here it is. I don't agree with the conclusions, nevertheless, it is a good, well-reasoned answer. --Kalos] John MacArthur writes: '1 Cor 14:22 "Therefore tongues are for a sign, not to those who believe but to unbelievers." Explaining further, Paul says explicitly that all tongues are for the sake of unbelievers. In other words, that gift ("tongues") has no purpose in the church when everyone present is a believer. And once the sign served its purpose to pronounce judgment or cursing on Israel, and the judgment fell, the purpose ceased along with the sign gift' (MacArthur Study Bible, 1997, Word Publishing). |
