Bible Note: When they speak in tongues what language do they spesk? This is the only legimate use of tongues. Does everyone in the gathered assembly speak English? if they do then there is no reason for tongues. Re-read 1 cor 12-14. Tongues are not a sign of spirituality, and assuredly not a sign one has the Holy Spirit. The false doctrine there is a second "filling" is the cause of all the confusion regarding this issue. If this doctrine were legitimate the Apostle paul would have addressed the issue openly. Yet he does not, nor another writer of the NT. Eph 1.13-14 clearly answer the issue of the Holy Spirit, salvation is the only thing necessary. Even here Paul never says anything about a "higher level" of exprience. So I know this seems insensitive, you have never spoke inn tongues, tongues was always without exception an earthly language. As to prophesy,is never fortelling events, nor delivering a new personal message from God to the Church, that ceased when the Lord had the writers of the NT complete the letters He wanted written to address the churches needs and the needs of belivers. So if they are saying thus says the Lord they are in grave error and need to cease the "fake" or "false" activity. I do not debny the salvation of charismatics, as long as they have responded to the call of God. Whyndell |
