Subject: Holy Spirit / Tongues for Today? |
Bible Note: Kalos, Thanks for replying. In a lot of ways I agree with you, in some I don't. Tongues does not seem to be a basic doctrine. To me, basic topics include the life, death, burial of Christ, believing in His name and his being God, being baptized as a believer, fellowshipping with other believers, and witnessing to others. I would bet that if we were to go get a cup of coffee somewhere we would see that we agree on a LOT of things. Just to let you know where I'm coming from, I've been a believer about 25 years. Now I'm revisiting all of the "truths" that I had been taught to make sure that I had not run in error. I'm hoping to examine the best arguments for and against tongues being for today. I've seen arguments that made sense for both views. I'm not a newby to the Word having read the NT through over twenty times, and the entire Bible several times. I appreciate your input. What are your views of tongues? |
