Subject: Does speaking in tongues come naturally? |
Bible Note: "Not nearly as much as you are assuming, judging by your posts in this thread. Assuming that they had Scriptures in their possession is anything but a stretch. So what do YOU think was going on in the upper room? Please support your suppositions with Scripture" Acts 2. 2:1 And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, AS THE SPIRIT GAVE THEM UTTERANCE. If you want to add to that you will be assuming. That's anyones best shot who wasn't there! You do know what assuming does don't you? Personally I'd run with what is written. It's enough and it's still happening today. ---------------------------------- Ah, yes. The "good Bible study" that the church lacked for 1850 years of its existence. How wise 20th- and 21st-century American Christians are! They should have had more of us in the early church. Then maybe there would be no denominations and all of us would be writhing around on the floor in Christian unity... We are priviledged now, aren't we, in more than one way, I'm happy to say? Too bad most won't take advantage of that and allow themselves to be robbed of God's ultimate intention because of some "hangup's" that has been brought on by pride, false teaching, and/or misinformation. |
