Bible Question:
What is the difference between "new tongues" Mark 16:17 and "other tongues" Acts 2:11 I am trying to understand the difference of speaking in tongues where there is interpretation and speaking in tongues where everyone in the church is praying and then peoeple just start speaking in tongues all over the place. Help??? |
Bible Answer: In this reference, to speak with a "new" tongue means that those who believe, accept Christ and have been anointed with the power of the Holy Spirit, will have a new message...the message God has given them. They will no longer speak the same things or have the same thoughts. God will order their tongues and tell them what to say. To speak "in" tongues, is to have the indwelling of the Holy Spirit and will speak in their own language. This is a language that satan can not understand. Speaking in tongues is for the purpose of edifying and exhorting. If the message is for you, there will be someone present to interprete for you. If they message is the church or whole gathering, then someone will interprete to them. Speaking in tongues and praying in your own prayer langauge is different. Prayer language is the language that you use to pray when not praying a public prayer. If you were asked to do the invocation at a service, you wouldn't pray in your prayer language...no one would understand and that would not be edifying to the group. |
