1 | Holy Spirt w/ evidence of tongues? | 1 Cor 12:10 | kalos | 114840 | ||
'First Corinthians 13:8 says "Whether there be tongues, they shall cease" (KJV). Wouldn't this indicate the baptism in the Holy Spirit was only for those first followers 2,000 years ago? 'In order to understand this statement we need to examine its context. Paul said that prophecies will cease, tongues will be stilled, knowledge will pass away, and perfection will come (verses 8-10). Paul was speaking of a time yet future both to his original readers and to us. When the kingdom of our Lord is ushered in, perfection will come and there will be no further need of Spirit-given knowledge, prophecy, and tongues. They will disappear because they will be no longer needed. But these operations of the Spirit are still needed today. 'There is no indication in Scripture that tongues would cease at the end of the first century. Tongues are to be a part of the life of the church in every generation until Christ returns to set up His perfect kingdom. Paul's perception was that spiritual gifts would be operational until that day (1 Corinthians 1:7, 8).' ____________________ (http://ag.org/top/beliefs/baptism_hs/baptmhs_12_tonguescease.cfm) |

2 | Holy Spirt w/ evidence of tongues? | 1 Cor 12:10 | Searcher56 | 114926 | ||
Scripture ... 1 Cor 13:8-10 ................. 1 Cor 13:8 ... but if there are gifts of prophecy, they will be done away; if there are tongues, they will cease; if there is knowledge, it will be done away. 1 Cor 13:9 For we know in part and we prophesy in part; 1 Cor 13:10 but when the perfect comes, the partial will be done away Kalos ... Knowledge and prophecy - will be done away ... when the perfect comes ... are in part Tongues, on the other hand will cease ... with no precipating event. I have a hard time with how this "expert" lumps them together. |
