Paul is clear that not all Christians receive the gift of speaking in tongues (1 Cor 12:30). 1 Cor 12 would be a great chapter for you to read. The people who told you this are flat mistaken, speaking in tongues is not an issue that shows you do or do not have the Holy Spirit. In Love, Beja |

Anyone can recieve the gift of speaking in tongues, all you do is ask, believe, and recieve. John 16:23 Jesus says,"Truly, Truly, I say to you, if you ask the Father for ANYTHING in My name, He will give it to you." Eph. 6:18 With all prayer and petition pray at all times in the Spirit... We are not able to pray at all times in our own dialect, we would run out of things to pray about, but when you recieve the baptism of the Holy Ghost, you are then able to PRAY AT ALL TIMES!!! Speaking in tongues is a gift, so recieve it, its a way to speak to God with out satan knowing what you're praying about and its self edification. When you don't know what to pray for your Spirit ALWAYS knows what to pray for. With Love... Julia Marie |

Hi Julia Marie, Not every one receives the same gifts. "There are varieties of effects, but the same God who works all things in all persons. But to each one is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good. For to one is given the word of wisdom through the Spirit, and to another the word of knowledge according to the same Spirit; to another faith by the same Spirit, and to another gifts of healing by the one Spirit, and to another the effecting of miracles, and to another prophecy, and to another the distinguishing of spirits, to another various kinds of tongues, and to another the interpretation of tongues. But one and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing to each one individually just as He wills." 1 Cor 12:6-11 Paul tells us not everyone gets the same gifts, and it is God who decides who gets what. NOT us. "All are not apostles, are they? All are not prophets, are they? All are not teachers, are they? All are not workers of miracles, are they? All do not have gifts of healings, do they? All do not speak with tongues, do they? All do not interpret, do they? But earnestly desire the greater gifts. And I show you a still more excellent way." 1 Cor 12:29-31 Paul tells us it does not edify the Body of Christ. "So also you, unless you utter by the tongue speech that is clear, how will it be known what is spoken? For you will be speaking into the air. There are, perhaps, a great many kinds of languages in the world, and no kind is without meaning. If then I do not know the meaning of the language, I will be to the one who speaks a barbarian, and the one who speaks will be a barbarian to me. So also you, since you are zealous of spiritual gifts, seek to abound for the edification of the church." 1 Cor 14:9 Paul tells us to grow up. "Brethren, do not be children in your thinking; yet in evil be infants, but in your thinking be mature. In the Law it is written, "BY MEN OF STRANGE TONGUES AND BY THE LIPS OF STRANGERS I WILL SPEAK TO THIS PEOPLE, AND EVEN SO THEY WILL NOT LISTEN TO ME," says the Lord. So then tongues are for a sign, not to those who believe but to unbelievers; but prophecy is for a sign, not to unbelievers but to those who believe. Therefore if the whole church assembles together and all speak in tongues, and ungifted men or unbelievers enter, will they not say that you are mad?" 1 Cor 14:20-23 Paul says, it just makes us look like we are crazy. Think about it... Kind of selfish, don't you think? John |
