Subject: You need baptism of the Holy Ghost! |
Bible Note: Tim H, I was raised in a non-denominational church. My experience with tongues is a rather interesting one. My parents are both "spirit filled". I have listened to people speak in tongues for as long as I can remember. I wanted to speak in tongues just as my parents have there whole life. They use this gift to pray and intercede, to uplift themselves and to pray in tongues when they feel the Spirits unction leading them to pray when they dont know what to pray. So at the age of 8 I was baptized. And at the age of 10 I received the gift of tongues. I am now 27 years old, and my personal experiences and feelings that I felt are no proof that what I was speaking was the gift of tongues and the evidence of the Holy Ghost. I no longer speak this vain babbling. Because scripture is a more sure word than my parents, my feelings, and my personal experiences. No place in the Bible do I find the unknown tongue being used to profit Gods people. The "unknown" tounge is mearly an "unlearned" tongue to the people within ear shot. MaTT |
