1 | need help interpretting a urge to run fr | Bible general Archive 4 | Crys8818 | 235191 | ||
This is gonna be long and maybe confusing. I have been going to the same church for a few years, For the last couple of years I have been questioning what they have been teaching and/or practicing. For example; You know you are filled with the Holy Spirit when you speak in tongues. Everybody who goes to this church and believes and is filled with the Holy Spirit talks in tongues. If You speak in tongues in church and no one there who hears you speak in tongues can interpret what you said,ypu can interpret it yourself. All people filled with the Holy Spirit has all spiritual gifts, These are just a few things they teach and practice. Recently they merged with another church and are now holding all services at this other church. I get the feeling that they only told a select few people when they were gonna start holding services at this other church, I was not the only one that was not told about when services were gonna switch to the other church. I am getting a very clear urge to run not walk from this church and don't look back. Because I haave been told so many times by the 2 pastors of this church that I am wrong on how I interpret scripture eyc,not sure if I can trust this feeling. Any feedback would be helpful. Thank you | ||||||

I don't know how anyone can help you since you only mentioned what you see or what the church teaches. You did not provide your position other than you felt you weren't informed of a change in church time and that 2 pastors have that you are wrong on how you interpret scripture. Okay how do you interpret scripture? You evidently have a problem with the way this church teaches on the one of the Spiritual Gifts, how does your view differ? |

The way I interpret scripture-you will have a prayer language which is somewhat different than tongues. Tongues is a spiritual gift that the Ho;y Spirit gives to people just like The Holy Spirit gives other gifts such as teaching,prophesy,healing.interpretation of tounges. All spiritual gifts are for the edification of the the Church.the body of Christ. As a believerhaving faith in Christ.speaking out loud that Jesus Christ is the son of God.sent to earth as hguman as a sacrifice for those who believe and profess Him as I stated.the Holy Spirit gives out sipiritual gifts as he sees fitm.alll for the edification of the Church.the body of Christ, If someone speaks in tongues.its ok to to do so in Church only if there is another person in Church that can interpret and therefore edify the Church, If there is noone who can interpre.that person is to keep quiet, If he does not.he is edifying himself. Just because my spiritual gift is not spealing in tongues does not mean I am not spirit filled. This believes the only way you know you are spirit filled is you immediatelt start speaking in tongues. Does this help? This church also believes we,. as spirit filled faith filled believers.get all spiritual gifts, I read the scriptures, The way I understood it is we get the gifts the Holy Spirit gives us, It may one, It may be more but its the Holy Spirit that decides and all gifts given to the body of Christ are given to edify Christ, The body can't all be eyes or ears or feet, The body has many parts with each having its own function that interacts with the other parts of the body to make a whole functioning body primed to edify Christ, | ||||||

Okay I see where you are coming from. And yes I think you may be right from what you said there seems to be some problems in the church you are now attending. There are abuses is Pentecostalism just as there are in non Pentecostal churches. You need to find a church that aligns or agrees with your understanding of the scriptures on the subject of Gifts of the Spirit. I pray you seek the leading of the Lord on this. It is even conceivable that God would have you stay where you are to bring correction but I really caution you to make sure that you know that you know that you know your being lead of God. Best to you and please let us know how this all turns out. |
