Bible Question: I rededicated my life back to Jesus on 7/07. Put, I do not speak in tongues yet. And when I pray my words are limited . So, praying in tongues is benefitual for a christain. |
Bible Answer: Shalom Joann, Doc is certainly right, you most likely have been taught wrongly. I know that I was taught that speaking in tongues was the ONLY sign of baptism of the Holy Spirit. But in Torah (I'm sorry, I donlt know exactly where, and my Bible has been packed away for vacation), when God took of the Spirit that was on Moses and distributed it to the 70 elders who were to help him, my bible says that they prophesied (not spoke in tongues or unknown utterances), that one time, and that one time only So now we have 2 different signs of the Holy Spirit. And how about the 3pack a day smoker who, without thought or effort suddenly no longer lights up. Or the one who could put a football locker room to shame by their foul mouth suddenly, also without thought or effort on their part, their language is totally cleaned up. I think the sealing of the Holy Spirit is different with each individual as God sees fit. Which is what everyone else has been telling you. Just live you life to glorify the Lord in all you do and what He has planned for you will happen just as He wants it to, in His time. Meanwhile, relax, and enjoy the journey. :-) Cheri |
