1 | Why isn't the gift of tongues a sign? | 2 Cor 13:14 | Searcher56 | 112888 | ||
Scripture ... 1 Corinthians 12-14 ... Actually, Paul is talking about tongues in this whole section. - It is one of the gifts of the Spirit (12:4, 10, 11) - Not everyone has this or any other gift (12:28-30) - We should desire the greater gifts (vs 31) and tongues is a lesser gift (12:28-30) ... but we should not disregard any gift (12:15-24) - God still chooses who gets what gift (12:11, 18) - Speaking in a tongue w/o love is just emtpy noise (1 Cor 13:1) ... as with other gifts (1 Cor 13:2-3) - Tongues and two other gifts are temporal (1 Cor 13:8) ... Tongues by its own initative, the other two will done away with when the perfect comes (1 Cor 13:8-10). - Tongues are for a sign, to unbelievers (1 Cor 14:22) ... ans again - it is a sign of judgment to the Jews, as I have already pointed out |

"- Not everyone has this or any other gift (12:28-30)" The gift of tongues is a sign, but it is not the sign that you have received the Holy Spirit/Ghost. John 3:8 The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit. Praise the Lord!

You are not saved simply because you speak in tongues. This can also be a Judgement upon you if you fell to continue to obey the Truth, as Paul pointed out to the Corintians. Peter gives the formular for salvation in Acts 2:38. This is what Jesus was speaking of when he said, You must be born of the Water and the Spirit in order to see the Kingdom of God. | ||||||
