Bible Note: Jude 20 has nothing to do with ecstatic "speaking in tongues." _______ Jude 20: "But you, beloved, building yourselves up on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit." ..... Exegesis of Jude 20: "building yourselves up" -- True believers have a sure foundation (1 Cor. 3:11) and cornerstone (Eph. 2:20) in Jesus Christ The truths of the Christian faith (see Jude 3) have been provided in the teaching of the apostles and prophets (Eph. 2:20) so that Christians can build themselves up by the Word of God (Acts 20:32) ...... "praying in the Holy Spirit" -- This is not a call to some ecstatic form of prayer but simply a call to pray consistently in the will and power of the Spirit, as one would pray in the name of Jesus Christ (see Romans 8:26,27).
