Well, whomever told you tongues are no longer for today is obviously mistaken... For God, being the Almighty God, posseses the power to cause that people speak in different languages and that they can also end up understanding the teaching of God in there own language - And this is the Gift of Tongues and Interpretation: Act 2: 5-12 (...) And how hear we every man in our own tongue, wherein, we were born? (...) Jews and proselytes, Cretes and Arabians, we do hear them speak in our tongues the wonderful works of God. (...) What meaneth this? Act 2: 16-21 But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel. And it shall come to pass in the last days, (...) I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh ...) Whosoever, shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved. And why : 1Co 1:29 That no flesh should glory in his presence. |

What is your Biblical support for "people speak in different languages and that they can also end up understanding the teaching of God in there own language" Acts 2:6-13 is about people hearing their own language being spoken by several people ... then starting in verse 14 Peter spoke in his own language - the Gospel message. |

For reasons of brevety I invite you to read the chapters I will provide you with, in its full length. But here are but a few key verses that should sommerize the answer to your request for biblical support. I also invite you to read the entire subject pertaining to the question on tongues and speaking in tongues here in this forum, for it would be to lengthy here to present you with an entire thesis on the matter. Might I remain available for further discussion if need be? Cause this is a long subject to answer, but here we go, brevety!!! The Biblical support to the confounding of the language, and then to abraham's being promissed adoptive children, and Paul's own ministry with the gentils. You can appreciate if I was to cover the entire gamet of these we would be here reading on for hours on end, hey... The confounding of the language at Babel Biblical Times: Gen 11:9 Therefore is the name of it called Babel because the LORD did there confound the language of all the earth and from thence did the LORD scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth. Where as before they all spoke one tongue, they now had different languages and nations, and family because it was the will of God: Gen 10:5 By these were the isles of the Gentiles divided in their lands; every one after his tongue, after their families, in their nations. Even with God having confonded langue, He still wanted us to know about Him and what he is all about and what he does for us: Isa 48:16 Come ye near unto me, hear ye this; I have not spoken in secret from the beginning; from the time, that it was, there am I and now the Lord GOD, and his Spirit, hath sent me. Isa 48:17 Thus saith the LORD, thy Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel, I am the Lord thy God which teacheth thee to profit, which leadeth thee by the way that thou shouldest go. Isa 48:18 O that thou hadst hearkened to my commandments! then had thy peace been as a river, and thy righteousness as the waves of the sea. Isa 48:19 Thy seed also had been as the sand, and the offspring of thy bowels like the gravel thereof; his name should not have been cut off nor destroyed from before me. Isa 48:20 Go ye forth of Babylon, flee ye from the Chaldeans, with a voice of singing declare ye, tell this, utter it even to the end of the earth; say ye, The LORD hath redeemed his servant Jacob. By faith Abraham brings forth numerous children: Heb 11:12 Therefore sprang there even of one, and him as good as dead, so many as the stars of the sky in multitude, and as the sand which is by the sea shore, innumerable. Paul, the apostle, declared that his office was that of the office: Rom 11:13 For I speak to you Gentiles, inasmuch as,am the apostle of the Gentiles, I magnify mine office: And why hearing and understanding the teachings of God in our own language? Why would they speak the Word of God in our own language? Because: Act 2:21 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved. |

Show us: where in the Book of Acts does one find INDIVIDUALS SEEKING for the Holy Spirit and EXPECTING TO RECEIVE TONGUES as the sign that He's come? This is the standard way the "baptism of the Spirit" occurs among Pentecostals, but it has no parallel in Acts. In Acts, the Holy Spirit always falls on entire groups who are not expecting tongues (or any other sign). [DO077-1] |

I don't mean to nitpick Kalos, but you can't say that the Holy Spirit always falls on entire groups who are not expecting any sign. Paul was alone when he received, hands were laid on him that he might recieve the Holy Ghost, he was born again, but had not yet received. God Bless |
