I just spent one hour typing an answer and it went blank. IT MAY HAVE BEEN A BETTER ANSWER. i AM DETERMINED TO AT LEAST GIVE YOU AN ANSWER. Please read Gal 3:28 and Gal 5:6. If you follow my febal minds thoughts, it goes like this. ALL humans of both genders are equal in GODS EYES. God is perfect. us men are arrogant and for a large part think women are less than us. Christ broke this thinking. You may welll be a better closer form of Gods personality. Life giver, nuturer, more patient, well dont get a big head, but get the idea, I hope. Women were the main supporters of Paul! read ACTS and just follow how women kept him going! Tongues has been an issue for thousand of years. I have quietly had GOD SPEAK A STRONG ERGERNT WARNING TO ME. mANY YEARS AGO.I have seen tongues in one church service that was done according to scripture. There was no doubt it was real. This gift is used to will the lost! This is not a gift to ask for, or its not a gift is it? Have you ever seen anyone asked for the gifts of helps, service, giving, oand th list goes on. Why so many waqnt the least desireable gift is clear. THIS GIFT IS A SIGN AND WONDER GIFT WHICH jESUS SAID SIGNS AND WONDERS ARE WHAT THE POPLE |

I am 41 yr old woman, I was filled with the Holy Spirit when I was 19yrs old, speaking in Tongues. I pray in Tongues "spirit" in the shower, driving down the road in the car. Quietly to myself during worship at my church, It builds up my spirit see Acts 2 amp AND IT SHALL BE IN THE LAST DAYS,' God says, 'THAT I WILL POUR FORTH OF MY SPIRIT ON ALL MANKIND; AND YOUR SONS AND YOUR DAUGHTERS SHALL PROPHESY,AND YOUR YOUNG MEN SHALL SEE VISIONS, AND YOUR OLD MEN SHALL DREAM DREAMS. It is so real. Anytime the enemy can cause doubt or fear he will, he is a liar and deceiver. The Holy Spirit is an inity, that needs recognition. Last sunday we had a message in "Holy Spirit" tongues given by a woman she spoke and then gave the interpetation, we had about 4-6 people came foward to be born again. It was all in perfect accord, very orderly. I challenge those who so courious about the Holy Spirit and the GIFT pray ask God for this GIFT, if you are serious he will provide. I believe this is in accordance with the scripture in Matthew 13:11.. sheila |

sheila, While I don't doubt your sincerity or the experience you had, I offer these 3 points: 1. We need to make sure that our faith is founded on fact, not emotion-laden experiences ( not that they're all bad); 2. We have received the Holy Spirit in accordance with 1 Cor. 12:13, "For by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free, and we were all made to drink of one Spirit." 3. I don't see how your reference to Matt. 13:11 relates contextually or otherwise. I just don't see a Biblical mandate to "Pray and ask God for this GIFT"- it is something we already have! I believe it a matter of yielding to that life of Christ in us (Gal.2:20). Out of curiosity, where does God tells us that "if you are serious he will provide"( the Spirit)?

"But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:" If I may ask: so, you don't believe that someone else has spoken in tongues as a gift or as the Spirit gives utterance because you haven't? How do you praise God? When (or if) you're praising Him, do you stay poised and dignified? Remember King David? When he brought the Ark of the Covenant back home how he danced and praised God until his clothes fell off? Remember how God handled David's wife because she talked him down for being given over to the Spirit? Have you ever praised God like that? The people in the upper room and the others on whom the Holy Spirit was poured, weren't they drunk with the Spirit? How can you give totally over to God and not let Him have His way? Isn't that quenching the Spirit? Or are todays s-aints too dignified for that type of praising, worship, and thanksgiving regardless of what Jesus did? God tells us to be "drunk with the Spirit" and if you're drunk, you're out of YOUR mind. I admonish you to do more than know what the Bible says and all of the legalisms that comes with theology and get to know God. You'll do more than sing "Amazing Grace" and "What a Friend" every Sunday - you'll also find He's much more than some words in a book. WalkingTalkingBible |

WTB, Well, I can tell you didn't get the spirit of what I said ,and that's fine. However, you're coming across with an attitude of spiritual superiority and arrogance. This is not necessary:-) For one who apparently claims to be so spiritual as yourself, you also exhibit a great deal of sarcasm. That is your choice, of course. But, is that really "walking in the Spirit"? The bottom line is this: Many good believers- of which I consider you one- have arrived at different conclusions based on their study and understanding of scripture. That doesn't make one wrong. Orthodoxy is not agreement on every point of scripture. Even though I strongly disagree with you and others on the "sign gifts"- particularly tongues and the "baptism of the Holy Spirit" I certainly don't consider you heretical, aberrational, or outside mainstream Christianity. I would hope you'd allow me the same grace and latitude in keeping with Romans 14:1. Finally, please don't be so presumptuous and ASSUME I'm missing something, or I'm less spiritual, and not really knowing God. You're not the only one God is working through:-) You don't have a corner on the truth any more than I do, nor is your view of scripture necessarily THE correct one. Allow for some grace, and learn that it's OK to agree to disagree. I'm not challenging your right to believe as you do. Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

BradK, I hate that you judge that I am arrogant and spiritually superior, just because I stand for what I know. I'm not better than any other human. But what you are saying - and I don't think you mean to be this way - is that what we (ones who are operating in the gifts and experiencing God) are lying. I only asked you questions - I really want to know the answers! Also, I see you as my brother in Christ and sometimes we learn from each other, this is a learning way. I've said before, there are no diplomas in holiness - only God knows it all. I don't mean to be ugly when I say this, but if you are only reading and studying the word and going by what well known theologists are saying, you ARE missing something. Please don't think that I am lying or some false teacher just because I have a personal relationship with God. I asked you before in another post - Do you KNOW God (felt His presence, heard His voice, as a healer, etc)? I'm concerned because there are going to be a lot of souls that will not enter into God's kingdom because they don't know Him, but only of Him. Would I be right if I knew something was bad for someone and didn't tell them? No way! I'd be no better than the one that laid the trap. There's a popular phrase that says, "don't knock it until you've tried it." God has a purpose for you too, just ask Him to show and I guarantee, He will. He will show you the signs and gifts if you really desire to know. I want to share this with you - then I'll shut up. Before I spoke in tongues, I was very skeptical. I wasn't allowed to teach Sunday School because others hadn't heard me speak in tongues (and we're not even Pentacostal!). I started to look for ways to justify myself (also, I used to hate prophetic nights - just didn't seem real) and believe it or not, I found them in the Bible! But when I asked God to show me the truth, He did! One of the gifts I so badly hated in my ignorance and selfishness, He gave it to me. So, I'm not just talking out of what words, orthodoxy, and what theologists say, the Word is operating in me. We all have a purpose. WalkingTalkingBible |

WTB, Thank you for your response and clarification. 1. I'm not "judging" that your arrogant and superior, but your words come across that way. I may be wrong, if I am, them please accept my apology:-); 2. I've never said or even implied that you're lying. We may disagree but that in no way makes you a liar any more than me. I do not think you're lying! It boils down to a matter of interpretation. 3. Rest assured that I'm secure in my salvation! I do know God, and I have a personal relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ in accord with John 17:3 and 1 John 5:11-13: "“This is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent." "And the testimony is this, that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. He who has the Son has the life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have the life. These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, so that you may know that you have eternal life." 4. My faith is in the person of the Lord Jesus Christ, not just the "words" of scripture or "theologians" as the warning of Christ in John 5:39-40 refers. 5. I totally agree that God has a purpose for me- I believe I'm fulfilling it currently. However, I would have to disagree that His "purpose" necessarily intimates "signs and gifts". Consider, Hebrews 4:12 "For the word of God is living and active and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing as far as the division of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart." God's word is Living, and It does have the ability to change my life and others as we believe it, and allow it to dwell richly in us! So, His Word is not just Rhema, but Logos! Many godly believers, who did not believe in the "sign gifts" accomplished much for the kingdom and were used in a mighty way:-) Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

BradK, I have to thank you for your response and your clarification! No need to apologize, I think we are just learning the different ways that God uses us! I'm glad to know I have a "real" brother in Christ. WalkingTalkingBible |

WTB, We are, indeed one in Christ:-) In light of our discussion, I thought you might appreciate this snipet from A.W. Pink's "Attributes of God": "The "god" of this twentieth century no more resembles the Supreme Sovereign of Holy Writ than does the dim flickering of a candle the glory of the midday sun. The "god" who is now talked about in the average pulpit, spoken of in the ordinary Sunday School, mentioned in much of the religious literature of the day, and preached in most of the so-called Bible Conferences is the figment of human imagination, an invention of maudlin sentimentality. The heathen outside of the pale of Christendom form "gods" out of wood and stone, while the millions of heathen inside Christendom manufacture a "god" out of their own carnal mind. In reality, they are but atheists, for there is no other possible alternative between an absolutely supreme God, and no God at all. A "god" whose will is resisted, whose designs are frustrated, whose purpose is checkmated, possesses no title to Deity, and so far from being a fit object of worship, merits nought but contempt." Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |
