Subject: when do I spake in tounges |
Bible Note: In Acts 2:4 they were in the upper room (Acts 13).They were also of one language(Acts 7). So, what need would there be for them to speak in tongues (Acts 2:4)if it was not a sign of the Holy Ghost? They clearly didn't need it to preach to each other.However, you do have a valid point only concerning Acts 2:6. This was a different point in time, for verse 6 says "when it was noised abroad (I take it to mean within the city).Also, how could all these people fit into the upper room(Acts 2:9-11).You also states that "If your heart is willing to practice in you bible study, then God will grant you the Holy Spirit.Where do you find this? Acts 2:38 "Then Peter Said unto them Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the Name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye SHALL RECEIVE THE GIFT OF THE HOLY GHOST. God desire obedience to his Work. Not more bible study. The "nowadays tongues" as you refer to them is no different from what was going on in the Church at Corint.They just had to be taught, and that is what Paul did. Those that have the gift of tongues can control themselves then and now. If they couldn't then Paul would not have told them to.What makes you think that they can't control themselves? |
