Subject: Does speaking in tongues come naturally? |
Bible Note: Hi Searcher, This was in response to Ken's question/statement "What happened in the room where the 120 twenty met? Did they have Bibles? What were they doing? Shouldn't we do the same yet you'll be hard pressed to see that atmosphere of praise and worship in most churches today must less be taught as something we should be about." And Justme's question, ' Is tongues a gift, that if a new Christian were isolated and left alone, with only a Bible, would this person speak in tongues with out being taught, or observation of others speaking in tongues? Thank you for honest answers. justme The subject was whether one can or would receive the Holy Spirit baptism with speaking in tongues if they were not taught to do so. Ken was pointing out that the disciples did not have Bibles. My point was that the disciples had received clear instruction concerning the outpouring of the Holy Spirit. They were taught in John 14 that the Holy Spirit would be sent and His purpose was defined. Luke 24:49 And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high. God bless |
