1 | Why do I want to speak in tongues? | 1 Cor 13:1 | catmandel | 212316 | ||
Many people in my church speak in tongues- I have read about speaking in tongues, but don't really understand why I should want to and also why some feel that you have not been baptized in the Holy Spirit if you cannot speak in tongues. I have been told to pray for this gift, but it would be disingenuous to pray for something when I don't know why I want it. I have prayed for God to help me understand it better, but still I am confused. I wonder if I am not really reborn if I can't speak in tongues and am not sure I want to. | ||||||
2 | Why do I want to speak in tongues? | 1 Cor 13:1 | BradK | 212317 | ||
Hello catmandel, Since this topic has been frequently discussed on the forum over the years, I'd recommend using the "Search" function and typing in 'tongues'. You can view the pro and con arguments there. Three things I'll offer as observations: 1. Remember the imperative in both 1 Cor. 13:1 and 14:1. Love is the overriding focus of the chapter; 2. In Chap. 12:30, Paul makes it very clear that not all speak in tongues, heal or interpret! Whatever your view, this is not a gift for each and every believer; 3. Be sure to seek the Giver over and above the gift! Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |
