Bible Note: Numero Uno, he speaks of John the Baptist, who was the last of the OT Prophets, according to Christ. Also, as for tongues, yes, many are the fake forms, but, if you search carefully, and especially in the really out of the way places, you will find that there are actual times when a man speaking in his heart unto God (vocalizing of course, but not meaning for others to hear) has been heard by someone else, and his words understood as another language! They are, however, pitifully rare. Most missionaries opt for the natural method of learning languages. Don't say babbling unintelligible noise. That is exactly what another language sounds like to one who doesn't know it, so ye prove nothing. Most tongue-speakers that I know do so in a setting where few non-English speakers could here, so we cannot know whether they speak or do not speak an earthly tongue. Read 1 Cor 14:2, 9, 10, 11. Verse 2: does not speak to men but to God, for NO ONE understands, but in Spirit he speaks mysteries. However... I have heard some of the more public tongue-speakers... yeah, meaningless syllables (and the same syllable!) repeated... Or so it seems to me. Read Psalm 136... they could be saying that in a language that relies on tone rather than on consonants or vowels for word-distinction! And... did the apostles on the day of Pentecost have a Scriptural basis? The Charismatics have more than they. There is no clear definition, therefore the Spirit must give definition. (Eyes communicate with God on a private level) Again, Read 1 Cor 14. |
