Bible Question:
Hello Francene, I am curious. What gave those people that you believe to have the gift of interpretation the aptitude to interpret correctly what you were saying to those spirits when you received the Holy Spirit? I guess what I'm wondering is, how do you know they are not mistaken? Do you just trust them, that they won't make that mistake? (Perhaps you know them well enough to make this assessment.) And, if so, how can you back that up with Scriptures? I may be coming across a bit challenging, but I want it to be clear in our minds. Scripturally, how does one know what is being said when someone 'speaks in tongues'? This is important in light of 1Cor 14:13-14, which says that "anyone who speaks in a tongue" should pray so he knows what he is saying. (taken from NIV) Finally, why do you say, "tongues are for the unbelievers"? Can you back that up with Scripture also, please? Thanks, and God's blessings. Jeff |
Bible Answer: Hi, Jeff... You are asking a question of a forum particpant who has not been back to SBF for almost 5 years. I don't think that she will be answering. :-) In Him, Doc |
