Subject: filled with holy spirit? |
Bible Note: My only real point was that the tongues spoken by the 120 and in the other two instances are spoken of in the same words (the only difference being of small import, considering how long Luke's letter is), thus, I disagreed with the fact that ye used different words to describe the first. As I said, petty. However, as for the rest of it, I was trying to show that the real sign of the Holy Spirit's filling is testifying, confessing Christ, that is acknowledging His sacrifice, and His greatness, and sovereignty, and rejoicing in this. Whether this is done through tongues (as with the 120), through prophecy, through words of knowledge, the goal of the Spirit is to lift up Christ. Anyway, yes, tongues is a .... gift, and we should seek it, but even more so seek to prophesy, and even beyond that, we should seek Love. I have a tendency, dealing with such things as tongues and prophecy, to become incensed and go overboard with my denunciations. In any argument, in fact, I often become polarized to one side or the other, rather than to the truth. This is a failing of mine, and I ask forgiveness. Also, note 1 Cor 14:40. Okay, yeah... case closed |
