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: Hi jrm, I can't speak about tongues other than that I don't think it is biblically correct to "just start speaking in tongues all over the place". What I would like to speak to is your connection of Mk 16:17 with Acts 2. May I suggest that you compare the speaking with new tongues in Mark 16:17 with Acts 2:33 ,"having received from the Father the promise of the holy spirit, He has poured forth this which you both see and hear."NASB (except for lower case holy spirit) This gift and this promise is seen in verses 38 and 39 of Acts 2. If Mk 16:17 and Acts 2:33 are compared, you see the promise of the holy spirit bracketed by the fact of Jesus being raised by God and being seen by witnesses (Mk16:14-Acts 2:32) and by the fact that Jesus is at the right hand (Mk 16:19-Acts 2:34) I hope you will get something out of these observations. We can know with Acts 2:36 "that God has made Him both Lord and Christ..." |
