Bible Question: A lady that led one bible study that I was in told me that everyone has the ability to speak in tongues, and that if we can't, we should pray to God to give us that gift. She also said that if we could not speak in tongues, it was a sign that we weren't filled with the Holy Spirit. I don't believe that everyone has this gift, and I don't believe that you have to do it to show that you are filled with the Spirit. What are some thoughts on this? |
Bible Answer: You know I can say that is true. I saw many events that some of members of the church speaking in tongues. Even in the bible it was happened in the day of pentecost I put that passages here: Ac 2:1 And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. Ac 2:2 And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. 2. Ac 2:3 And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them. Ac 2:4 And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance. 4. Ac 2:5 ΒΆ And there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men, out of every nation under heaven. Ac 2:6 Now when this was noised abroad, the multitude came together, and were confounded, because that every man heard them speak in his own language. Your are right that not all people has this kind of gift, but me if it will going to happened to me baptise in the Holy Spirit I am very willing to accet it, and pray for that. Speaking in tongue is not an ability it is come from the Holy Spirit. But I dont think that you have to speaking in tongue to enter the Kingdom of Heaven there are many prophets in the Bible that doesent have this gift but live in the right path. Thanks Johnny |
