1 | I ask you a loving challenging question | Acts 2:4 | richilou | 10533 | ||
But I would like you reflect more deeply in the text I mentioned in 1 Cor. 12. I agree with the fact that the tongue is a difficult part of the body to control, as said James, but it is totally out of context to use that argument to explain the speaking in tongues. Notice what Paul said in 1 Cor. 12 and 14 and reevaluate your position. I ask you a loving challenging question in conclusion. If God is powerful to give whatever gift He wants to His children, why so much emphasize on this gift when we talk about the power of the Spirit? Was it not a problem in Corinth and if so, why? | ||||||

I’m sorry I keep forgetting my audience here and assume everyone is on the same page. There are actually two forms/purposes of tongues. The first and primary is our prayer language used when the Holy Spirit is praying through us. this is used to edify the believer. The second the Gift of tongues used within the church along with interpretation as a sign to the unbeliever. When we yield or as many want to say when we are infilled with the Holy Spirit (that is incorrect terminology as explained elsewhere in this thread) we are given a prayer language or tongue. When God wants to move upon and unbeliever He manifests the gifts of tongues in a yielded person, with interpretation in same or another yielded person as sign to the unbeliever. Two different things. Why is there so much focus on tongues? One word attention! People in the flesh want attention and use outburst of tongues to get it. It is these abuses I also discussed elsewhere in this thread. |
