NASB | 1 Corinthians 12:10 and to another the effecting of miracles, and to another prophecy, and to another the distinguishing of spirits, to another various kinds of tongues, and to another the interpretation of tongues. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | 1 Corinthians 12:10 and to another the working of miracles, and to another prophecy [foretelling the future, speaking a new message from God to the people], and to another discernment of spirits [the ability to distinguish sound, godly doctrine from the deceptive doctrine of man-made religions and cults], to another various kinds of [unknown] tongues, and to another interpretation of tongues. |
Bible Question: All I know is God is the same yesterday, today, and forever. At my church we still speak in tongues and I believe you have to have an outpouring of the spirit before speaking in tongues. In Acts it says the Holy Spirit fell and everyone heard the message in their own language(sorry for the paraphrase). So, if that happened back then, I believe it happens now b/c this is today and God is the same. I hope I have not confused anyone. This is just my opinion. |
Bible Answer: While Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever(Heb 13:8) it doesn't mean we are and what happens to us at salvation and in our life. Since the salvation experiences are not the same in Acts (only twice do the new believers speak in tongues), except they are saved, we cannot say anything else. Note the tongues that many churches speak today violate what the Bible says ... not in a known language of at least one hearer and more than one speaks and there is no interpetation -- the church is copying Satan. |
