1 | what is the importance of tongues? | Acts 2:4 | Searcher56 | 148312 | ||
Steve, greetings and welcome to the forum, Another Steve - good :-0 You said, "Back 2000 yrs. ago, there was no N.T. so tongues were necessary as well as prophesy and knowledge. But the canon of Scripture is complete (including prophesy)" I have posted something on prophesy and knowledge and tongues. There are differences when and why they will end. Enter 115095 under Quick Search. Is tongues for today? I don't know. But, I do know some misunderstand the purpose and practice of tongues. Read my post 116386 ... also 48618. Searcher aka Steve |

Searcher56, I went and checked out your post #116386 and 115095 and it seemed pretty sound!:) Though I still am not sure about knowledge or prophesy. But at this point, prophesy is in the N.T., and knowledge is there as well. So I have to believe that there is also no need for these sign gifts today. In Christ, steve |

Dear Steve, Just for proper balance, here are some good arguments for cessationism: Dr. Thomas Edgar of Captial Bible Seminary: http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Atlantis/5068/charismata/edgar.htm Dr. John F. Walvoord of Dallas Theological Seminary: http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Atlantis/5068/charismata/walvoord.htm Dr. Willem Berends of Reformed Theological College: http://www.pastornet.net.au/rtc/cessatn.htm And regarding the scriptural nature of tongues, I'd always recommend Charles Hodge: http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Atlantis/5068/charismata/hodge.htm Anyone serious about making some kind of normative behavior associated with signs and wonders should be familiar with all of the arguments and be able to address them. An alternative is to throw out sola scriptura entirely in favor of experientialism, thereby avoiding the arguments altogether. In Him, Doc |
