1 | speaking in tongues | NT general Archive 1 | Ken John | 121805 | ||
I cannot agree with what you have written about speaking in tonques for this sign has ceased today. No one is speaking in tongues in this age of Grace. If they are then I am sorry to tell you that they are fakes. There are many fakes in this world today. There was a period in Acts but Paul tells us about this in Scripture. No one was more charismatic than Paul, yet the Lord revealed to him that those sign gifts were going to cease: "whether there are prophecies, they will fail; whether there are tongues, they will cease; whether there is knowledge, it will vanish away" (1 Cor. 13:8 KJV). Now we turn to the prison epistles, the four letters written shortly after the end of the Book of Acts, while Paul was a prisoner in Rome—Ephesians, Colossians, Philemon and Philippians...and we find that there is not one word about tongues, or the gift of healing. Even where we might have expected Paul to write of tongues in the passage about being "filled with the Spirit" in Ephesians 5:17, he has nothing to say about tongues. And as for the gift of healing, we read of a co-worker of Paul's, Epaphroditus, who fell seriously ill during this time (Phil. 2:25-30) and Paul no longer had the gift of healing, and was no longer able to heal as he did only a few years earlier in Acts 28:9. The sign gifts were no longer operating at the time that Paul wrote the Prison Epistles. |

I'm sorry (and very concerned) that you can't agree with what I've written about tongues, which were Scriptures. Please ask God to fill you with the Holy Ghost (we can never get too much). Also, Morant61 has given you the correct interpretation of the Scriptures you use to justify your stand on tongues. Kalos has given an excellent website with questions and answers about tongues and the Holy Ghost. Please read and ask God to open up your understanding. Don't miss out on the fullness of the Holy Spirit! WalkingTalkingBible |

Thanks for your reply. I have no intention of upsetting anyone but do believe what Paul has written and that speaking in tongues is not for us today in this Age of Grace. Do you know of anyone speaking in tongues? Do you understand what they are saying? What is your view of Paul's Ministry and why was he chosen by God ? Peace and Grace in Christ Jesus, Ken John. |

WalkingTalkingBible is correct in the information that she gave. There are millions upon millions of individuals today that have received the Holy Ghost and spoke in tongues as the Spirit of God gave the utterance. Your focus seems to be on, who can understand what they say? But, remember what Jesus said to Nicodemus in John 3:8,"The wind blows where it wills; and though you hear its sound, yet you neither know where it comes from nor where it is going. So it is with everyone who is born of the Spirit". There is a gift of the Holy Ghost (The Holy Ghost Himself being the Gift,Acts 2:38) and there is the gift of tongues (a gift given by the Holy Ghost, 1 Corth 12:28). That is the difference. One Paul says need a interpretor, that would be the Gift of tongues. One do not need an interpretor, that would be being filled with the Holy Ghost (Spirit).I hope this helps you. | ||||||

Thanks for your input and I agree that Scripture informs us about the past but what happens TODAY ? I would suggest quoting out of context leads one along the misinformed path because Paul continues in 1 Corinthians 13 and 14 to explain more fully about speaking in tongues. Please read these chapters again especially 1Cor14:4ff. Peace and Grace in Christ Jesus, Ken John |

Ken John, There are many (thousands, if not millions) of churches in existence, around this world, today whose congregants speak in tongues. The Holy Spirit still gifts certain children of God to speak in tongues. When one speaks in tongues he, or she, is speaking to God with his spirit. The gift does nothing to edify the church (unless interpreted), but builds up the spirit of the one speaking. You many want to consider visiting a Pentecostal/Apostolic church sometime soon!?! blessings! prazn |

Today many Christians have had an experience that they think is the Scriptural "gift of tongues" and they have asked "what to do?" It may be a psychological experience or even a spiritual experience. There are several possible explanations, but clearly, from the Word of God, it is NOT the Spirit's gift of speaking in tongues. Many have been taught that to speak in tongues is a sign of salvation or that the Holy Spirit is dwelling within, so it is a relief to discover the truth from Scripture that this gift is not in operation from the Lord today. Read Paul's instructions to the prophets at Corinth in 1 Cor. 14:30-33. Peace and Grace in Christ Jesus, Ken John. |
