Subject: Baptism in the holy spirit? |
Bible Note: Sniper, my point was, and is, that Searcher's "definition of known languages" doesn't fit, because it really doesn't. I’ll reiterate the results of “my test” one more time, slightly changing my “terminology” to help convey the truth thereof. IF the term “tongues”, giving in the context of being “produced” by the Holy Spirit through any particular individual, actually means “known languages”, the Holy Spirit, who wants for us today to understand what HE meant then, WOULD only, and always, have used “dialektos” in each case, rather than “glossa”. Why? Because “dialektos” “means” a known language, while the other “glossa” offers too many possible “meanings” to be used as “evidence”. As a reminder, “dialektos” was used in Acts 2:6. (I stated Acts 2:11 before, but that is “the other tongue word, glossa”. (Whoops) This is the MAJOR verse used to “demonstrate” that ALL the other “tongues” ONLY and ALWAYS means what this one says about men hearing them speaking in “their own language”. Thanks for your input, and for pointing out how “silly” it was the first time through. :) Taleb |
