Subject: what is the importance of tongues? |
Bible Note: Greetings Kalos! Thanks for sharing my friend! I think that it is possible, but it takes great care and discipline. One must avoid going beyond what Scripture actually says. I have seen arguements on both sides of the issue that seem to have been made out of whole cloth! :-) So, for instance, while I personal believe the famous reference in Rom. 8 may be a reference to 'tongues', it is by no means certain. So, I would never us this verse as proof of anything concerning tongues. I might raise it as a possibility, but that would be all. One also must let go of emotion concerning the topic. This is such an emotional issue, and both sides generally feel attacked if someone disagree with them. Emotion simply confuses the issue. :-) As always, Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
