1 | When will I speak/pray in tongues? | Acts 2:6 | kalos | 27850 | ||
Discipled, retxar, ashestobeauty, Reformer Joe, Hank, Searcher 56, Morant61 and Everyone: Please consider this observation. The doctrine of speaking in tongues is unique in that every person in the world has some bias regarding this doctrine, one way or the other, based on experience or the lack of it. What I mean is that every person reading this either has or has not experienced speaking in tongues. I will be the first to acknowledge that we base doctrine on Scripture and not on experience. Yet it seems to me that whether one has experienced speaking in tongues would have some influence on his understanding or interpretation of the doctrine. Some have told me the same is true of any and every doctrine. I would have to disagree. Most of us have not experienced death, heaven, hell, resurrection, the Rapture, etc. Therefore, the presence or absence of the experience has virtually no bearing on how one interprets these doctrines. But, I don't see how anyone writing or teaching on the subject of tongues could be totally uninfluenced by whether or not he himself had spoken in tongues. This is merely an observation. I am not here arguing for or against the cessation of the gift of tongues. kalos |

2 | When will I speak/pray in tongues? | Acts 2:6 | The Disciple | 27870 | ||
KALOS, wheweeeeeeeeee.......what a grand observation..!! BRAVO! Your statement about experience and no experience being the view one has on doctrnine. When the Bible inteprets, defines, clarifies, shows itself to be dogmatic about a doctrine. IT ISNT OPEN TO our VIEW, or is it ? -our - is defined - children of God, not the non-believer. I dont think the LORD wants our opinion on HIS choice of standard. He just wants us to make a choice. Doctrinal issues should be only those that are essential to our salvation, any other things should should be given liberty. Agustine, says it best, "In essentials, unity. In non-essentials, liberty. In All things, charity." Prov14:15, 15:28; 1Pet3:15; Ps119:46 Another favorite quote I enjoy.... If the literal sense makes common sense, seek no other sense or you get nonsense. Personally, I would only be dogmatic on doctrines that are eternal. Temporal doctrines will pass... ...Lord dont let me convolute your story... *SHALOM* |

You still have not answered my questions: -Is private speaking in tongues Biblical? -Is "heavenly prayer language" Biblical? If so, cite Scripture. First, read what I say about 1 Cor 13:1 and 14:13ff. |
