1 | speaking in tongues 1cor.12:1coming | 1 Cor 12:13 | prayon | 125316 | ||
Greetings Songbird, YOu are right we do have different opinions. I go by the 5 instances of the baptism of the Spirit given in Acts. In each instance the evidence of speaking in tongues was given as a sign of baptism in the Holy Spirit. There is not record of any kind that one person did failed to receive the Spirit. Jesus said in Mark 16:17 "These are the miraculous signs that will accompany believers: They will use the power and authority of my name to force demons out of people. They will speak new languages. Jesus didn't say that some of the believers would speak in new tongues. He said that speaking in tongues would accompany those that believed. YOu said that we cannot ask for a gift. I disagree. I believe that if we can ask for any gift but whether we get it or not is up to God. For example if there was one thing that I am not it is discerning. I prayed repeatedly for the gift of discernment and God gave it to me. I sincerely believe that this gift was of no part of me before I received it. In your last sentence are you saying that you don't have to be reborn or saved to speak in tongues? prayon |

Prayon, I guess we will agree to disagree! As for your question - you must be born-again to speak in tongues. Just as you must be born-again to receive any of the spiritual gifts. Which is why I firmly believe that the baptism in the Holy Spirit happens when we first believe. |
