1 | When will I speak/pray in tongues? | Acts 2:6 | Hank | 27774 | ||
Ashestobeauty, two final short questions, if you will permit me, regarding your experiences of speaking in tongues. (1) Do you initiate these experiences (sessions) yourself or does some agent (Spirit?) outside yourself initiate them? (2) Do you or does anyone else understand what you are saying when you are thus engaged? --Hank | ||||||
2 | when you talk to God... | Acts 2:6 | ashestobeauty | 27776 | ||
When you talk to God in English, Do you initiate that experience yourself? :o) As far as understanding what is being said, My Spirit is talking to God it doesn't matter if my mind understands it or not. There are times though when I will also say some words in English and that will bring clarity to what I am praying for or about. I do believe that God can work through people who have the ministry Gift of Speaking In Tongues and then interpreting in a service setting, and give them the ability to speak in foreign languages so that someone who is from another country, will understand what they are saying. I've heard of that happening. But in my own time with God I simply speak from my spirit at times, and it's not in English. Most of the time I pray in English but there are times when I use the gift of tongues. One question for you, what is your motive for asking all these questions? I do not mind sharing my heart with someone who is genuinely interested in the topic and willing to agree to disagree, but if your motive is to prove me wrong or get me to "slip up" by something I say then let's end it here. |

Ashestobeauty: I do not impugn your motives and trust that I have not given you valid reason to impugn mine. As I have said before so say I again: It has never been my practice to speak in tongues nor have I had occasion to converse on the subject with anyone who does. My questions merely were to seek information on the subject, haply the better to understand it. It is not my business to "prove" you or anyone wrong; that authority is not vested in me. And I derive no pleasure in trying to trip up anyone. I do thank you for your efforts in answering my questions and can understand your having questions about my questions. Please take solace in my assurance to you that I have neither sinister motives nor hidden agenda. A merry and Christ-centered Christmas wish to you and your family. --Hank | ||||||

Just feeling a little "beaten" down right now. Forgive me if I'm on the defense :o) I love to talk about God's word and the wonderful Things He has done. And I don’t mind at all sharing why I believe what I believe as long as all involved in the conversation, communicate with respect and brotherly love. At times I have not felt that in some of the responses I have received from others. So I just wanted to clarify where this conversation was going. Thanks. |
