Subject: Speaking in Tongue |
Bible Note: Dear ItsMe and Searcher and Praise the Lord Everybody! This matter of speaking in tongues excites me. Remember Paul said (I Cor 14 vss 1,2,4,5,13,18,32,39)I speak/pray in tongues more than all of you -- that lets me know it is a gift to be desired. There are some "speaking in tongues" when the anointing of God comes upon a person -that is not the gift - a gift is yours and can pretty much be used at your own choosing. There are "diverse" tongues. Also, for every gift or manifestation there is also a counterfeit; however, go forth according to your faith. Diverse tongues - there are "other tongues" which are other languages- and can be translated; there are "unknown tongues" which is between your spirit and the spirit of God--self edification;and, there are tongues that can be interpreted by the speaker or someone else. And-that should cover it in a nutshell:-). Be Blessed - according to your faith go forth in pursuing and/or speaking in tongues in Jesus name. |
