Bible Note: You write: "there are 2 different types of tongues. #1 is the "gift of tongues" and #2 is the actual infilling of the Holy Ghost. The "gift of tongues" is basically what we refer to as tongues and interpretation, that edifies the church." But God says: '1 Cor. 12:29-30, "Are all apostles? are all prophets? are all teachers? are all workers of miracles? 30Have all the gifts of healing? do all speak with tongues? do all interpret?" These verses do not ask "do all have the GIFT of tongues?" It asks "do all SPEAK with tongues?" SPEAK with tongues, not the GIFT of tongues. The obvious answer is no, all do not SPEAK with tongues. Since Scripture doesn't teach that there are two different types of tongues (one being a gift and the other not a gift), then beware! You may be basing doctrine (teaching, what you believe) on experience rather than on the Scriptures. We do not prove the Scriptures by our experiences. Instead we prove our experiences by the Scriptures. If our experiences do not line up with the Word of God, then they are not to be trusted. They are not to be the basis for our teaching. I quote from the website www.carm.org: 'It states in 1 Cor. 12:7-11 that different people have different gifts and we see in verses 29-31 that not all speak in tongues. Now, the Oneness [Pentecostal] person will state that all are supposed to speak in tongues, but that not all do. They maintain that speaking in tongues is a necessary sign gift of true salvation and that a true believer will speak in tongues. But, that is not what the text says. ' Paul asks the questions: Are all apostles? No. Are all prophets? No. Are all teachers? No. In other words, within the body of Christ, different people are called by God to have different gifts. If someone states that all are supposed to speak in tongues, but that not all do, then are all supposed to be apostles as well but not all are? Are all called to be prophets? Are all called to be teachers? No. Likewise, not all are called by God to speak in tongues.' (www.carm.org) Again, the Bible does not teach two different kinds of tongues. |
