1 | Where Does It Say That In Acts? | Acts 2:4 | kalos | 148384 | ||
Doc: I agree with you. Acts is NOT a blueprint for all of church history. When I asked, "IF Acts is a blueprint for all church history...", I was asking a hypothetical question. I agree that in Acts what we have is the primitive church and, not only that, but also the church in a time of transition. As for a [private] prayer language, I don't see this taught anywhere in the 66 books of the Bible. I've heard about a prayer language all my life, but I suspect that the idea comes from interpreting people's experiences rather than a clear verse of Scripture. We never prove the validity of the Bible by experience; we test and examine experience in light of the Bible. And since there is no mention of the word "tongues" in Acts 4, John 14, Romans 8, the book of Jude or James 3:8, I do not see how anyone could find the doctrine of a prayer language in any of these passages. I have no need that anyone explain to me what a prayer language is. As I said, I'm familiar with the concept, having heard of it my whole life. What I am not familiar with is any Scripture to back it up. Grace to you, Kalos |

Thank you, Kalos! You wrote, "I have no need that anyone explain to me what a prayer language is." Sorry, I didn't make it clear... What I meant was that *I* had a need to have it explained to me and on what scripture it was based. I appreciate your taking the time to explain. My 2 mites were clear as mud, huh? :-) (How's that for mixing metaphors!) In Him, Doc |

Doc: When I wrote "I have no need that anyone explain to me what a prayer language is," I did not mean that I had no need for YOU to explain it to me. Here's what I was thinking -- that someone else, someone who read my post and disagreed, would undertake to explain it to me. What I was correcting/rebuking was not you, but the whole notion of this prayer language business. There are times when I don't make it clear what I intended or for whom it was intended. Grace and peace, Kalos |
