Bible Question: I would like some information on speaking in tongues. Does anyone know where I can get that information? Thanks! |
Bible Answer: Dear Godsgrl52, There are several references to speaking in tongues in the NT: Jesus foretold that the disciples would speak in tongues in Mk:16:17. In Acts we are told how His prophecies came true: see Acts chapter 2, Acts 10:46, Acts 19:6... In the Pauline Epistles speaking in tongues is a great gift of the Holy Spirit. 1Cor 12:10,28. Yet Paul teaches that nobody should boast just because he is speaking in tongues; without charity, for example, miracles are nothing. (1Cor 13:1). He also mentions that speaking in tongues does not benefit other beilevers, unless someone interprets what is being said. (1Cor 14:5) Paul gives a definition of praying in tongues: if someone prays in tongues, his spirit prays but his mind does not; he encourages people to pray with their spirit and their mind too. (1Cor 14:14-15). Paul says that speaking in tongues is a sign for the unbelievers, not for the bevievers (1Cor 14:22). Personally I would connect speaking in tongues to the OT story of the Tower of Babel (Gen 11): what men destroyed with their pride, the Holy Spirit rebuilds. See Isaiah 28:11 for the OT promise of this gift. Hope this helps. Ask if you have any more questions. God bless you, Zsuzsi |
