Subject: Holy Spirit baptism and tongues |
Bible Note: The only thing I would add to your comments is that when Paul is talking about the language of angels, you must keep in mind that the context is to teach the Corinthians to understand the "goal" of tongues and not the different aspects of what the Spirit can do. And if you read well the text, the goal of Paul is to put the Corinthians on the right track concerning the "GOAL" of tongues which is the edification of the body of Christ. So, I ask you 2 simple questions. 1. How can I edify a church when I pray alone in my room or wherever else? 2. Where do you find elswhere in the whole Bible the concept of "praying in tongue"? Paul taught on the speaking in tongue, and used the prayer in tongue as a point of contact to explain that the practice is not profitable to the "GOAL" of God for the church, because it would be only useful in private (like in a prayer life) and it is exactly why Paul admonished so hard the practice of private goal in neglecting the right goal that was the edification of the other christians. |
