Bible Question:
Hi, My questions are about the Holy Spirit. 1.How are we to know whether a person has received the H.s.? 2.By spraking in tongue is it the only way the H.S. manifest it presence? 3.Speaking in tongue is one of the many gifts,can we ask for other gifts,such as healing and preaching? With Love in Christ. FytRobert. |
Bible Answer: 1. We do not know if a person has received the Holy Spirit ... there are those worse than Simon, who pretend (Acts 8:19). We recieve the Holy Spirit when we are saved. 2. Thos who claim speaking in tongue is it the only way to know if one has the Holy Spirit ... either are unaware what the Bible says, or diliberately lie. - It only happened twice in Acts (10:45-47, 19:6). - It is one of many gifts, and no gift is possesed by all (1 Cor 12). 3. Speaking in tongue is one of the many gifts ... but, the Bible says to desire the greater gifts (1 Cor 12:31). Tongues is last (vs 28) and next to last (vs 10) ... so is a lesser gift. Preaching is in the middle ... better than tongues (14:5). |
