1 | No speaking in tongues, no Holy Spirit? | Acts 2:4 | glory777 | 10337 | ||
I believe that speaking in tongues is a sign, but I also know a lot of people who are saved and who have the Holy Spirit residing in them who don't. My denomination believes scripture teaches that when you are baptized in the Holy Spirit, tongues can be a sign and usually is. But when you receive the bapitsm you don't just receive some of the gifts, you receive them all. You may only use one, or you may use many. The apostles were saved, but were not baptized in the Spirit until Pentecost. The man crucified with Jesus was saved, but did not have the baptism of the Holy Spirit. It is desirable to have the gifts, but read 1 Cor. 13. If I never spoke in tongues and had as much love for people as Jesus did, it would be fine with me. That is the greatest gift and everything else is just frosting. Concentrate on that. Peace to you. Debbie |

2 | No speaking in tongues, no Holy Spirit? | Acts 2:4 | Lucantonio | 95069 | ||
Debbe, I myself am Spirit-baptized and try to keep filled. However, I find n o scripture for the belief thatall the gifts are received when one is baptized. Paul says in 1 cor 14:1 that we should desire the gifts and that we should especially seek to prophesy.Then 12:30 implies we don't have all the gifts but should desire the "best" gifts. There is no biblical teaching that all the gifts are received when saved or baptized, but praise God we can be led to seek certain ones and the Spirit Himself decides which ones we get, 1 Cor 12,11. God bless, Lucantonio |
