Subject: hoyy spirit bap. evidence tounges? |
Bible Note: 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. |
