61 | Is tongues a matter of fact? | 1 Cor 14:5 | Aspilos | 55852 | ||
I agree with you. But I would like to know if you believe that speaking with tongues can be imitated? You said, "I can't see the Apostles teaching anything different according to Acts 10:45-47." What, in your opinion are the Apostles teaching us in this passage of scripture? I would really like to know what your view is. God Bless! Aspilos |

retxar, speaking with tongues may be a, "result of" the Holy Spirit, but it is not a matter of pick and choose between the two words, evidence and sign. They bear two very different meanings. Look it up in a dictionary. EVIDENCE is 100 percent irrefutable proof and a SIGN is not. Speaking with tongues as a sign may lead an unbeliever in the right direction, but it is not intended for evidence to the believer or the person who is doing the speaking. If a believer has need of an external evidence, he's lacking faith, a very important part of our salvation. Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity [love], I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal. 1 Corinthians 13:1 Also, if speaking with tongues were evidence, Paul should have acknowledged it here, but instead he refers to someone who, "speaks with the tongues of men and of angels" and "has not love" as becoming as a, "sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal." In saying that someone doesn't have love is essentially saying one does not have God. What Paul was doing was showing them, "a more excellent way." 1 Corinthians 12:31 But covet earnestly the best gifts: and yet shew I unto you a more excellent way. As for your reference to Acts 10:45-47, you furthered the point by saying, "The Apostles were assured that the Gentiles were indeed filled with the Holy Spirit" At that time, the Apostles DID NOT BELIEVE that receiving the Holy Spirit was for the Gentiles. That's why they were astonished. When these Gentiles spoke with tongues, it was a sign to them. God bless! Aspilos |

I just came along and noticed that this statement has gone long uncontested, but I have to reply just in case someone else decides to read it and buy it. First, one should be careful about making statements like, "If you been told that tongues are not for you.Then you was told a lie.", for that is exactly what Paul was telling the Corinthians in this verse. 1 Corinthians 12:30 Have all the gifts of healing? do all speak with tongues? do all interpret? If you wish to know why believers spoke in tongues while in the presence of unbelievers Paul explained that also. 1 Corinthians 14:22 Wherefore TONGUES ARE FOR A SIGN, not to them that believe, but TO THEM THAT BELIEVE NOT: but prophesying serveth not for them that believe not, but for them which believe. I have not changed the wording, but I did type some of the words into uppercase. This is the part that is often overlooked. No where do the scriptures ever suggest that speaking in tongues is evidence for the believer. A true believer should not have a need for an external evidence unless he is lacking in faith. Heb. 11:1 Now FAITH is the substance of things hoped for, the EVIDENCE of things not seen. Again, I have typed the key words in uppercase. |

I believe it is very possible that tongues can be for a sign even in the day we live, especially where there is a mix of culture as it was on the day of Pentecost. If however, all the believers share a common language, tongues can not be for a sign. That's why Paul warned the Corinthian's of it's abuse. God Bless! Aspilos |

inmyheart, in response to you question, "What is the good thing of speaking in tongues, forget the bad thing?", there is no, "bad thing" about any of the gifts of God. This gift, just as any other, serves a purpose and that purpose is explained in 1 Corinthians 14:22 Wherefore tongues are for a sign, not to them that believe, but to them that believe not: but prophesying serveth not for them that believe not, but for them which believe. We see the good thing about speaking in tongues on the day of Pentecost. Although there were devout Jews present, they were not believers in the Lord Jesus. When the believers spoke in tongues, the unbelievers heard and this was a sign to them, even though many did not believe as was also prophesied. |

First of all, understand that what I had written was, "the bad thing about teaching that tongues is the evidence of the Holy Ghost", and not the bad thing about teaching about speaking in tongues. I am not attacking speaking in tongues, but rather, teaching that it is the evidence of the Holy Ghost, for that is not true. | ||||||

I could not agree with you more on every thing that you have just said, but this still doesn't change the fact that tongues are for a sign and are never referred to as, "evidence". As for the Isaiah quote in 1 Co 14:21, that was something that took place on the day of Pentecost. | ||||||

Not to argue, but what I'm saying is that speaking in tongues should never be considered the evidence of receiving the Holy Ghost (Spirit). This is something that can easily be conterfeited. That's why Paul refers to it as a sign, and signs can be altered, evidence can not. If it were possible, it would not be evidence. What Jesus did for us out of his love was evidence. His love could not have been faked. 1 John 3:14 We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren. He that loveth not his brother abideth in death. The bad thing about teaching that speaking with tongues is the evidence of the Holy Ghost is that it gives a lot of people a false sence of security that they are saved when in reality, it was never at all intended for that purpose. I know I showed you this verse already, but look at it real close. 1 Corinthians 14:22 Wherefore tongues are for a sign, not to them that believe, but to them that believe not: but prophesying serveth not for them that believe not, but for them which believe. |

Sorry to intrude, but I have say, that speaking in tongues is not an evidence and is never referred to as such in the Bible. 1 Corinthians 14:22 Wherefore tongues are for a sign, not to them that believe, but to them that believe not: but prophesying serveth not for them that believe not, but for them which believe. If tongues is not a sign for the believer, why do we need it for evidence? Jesus spoke of the generation that sought after signs as wicked. Heb. 11:1 tells us what the evidence really is. Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. |
