Subject: Should we ask God for the gift of tongue |
Bible Note: Paul's reference to tongues in 1 Cor 12:29-30 is public tongues. Not all of us are meant to operate in the gift of speaking in tongues publicly and I totally agree in that aspect, but you can still receive the infilling of the Holy Spirit to speak with tongues privately, ie between just you and God. You will notice that Paul also said that "I would that you all speak in tongues..." Why would Paul desire us all to speak in tongues if he knew that it was a direct contradiction to God's direction? You are exactly right, we should ask what the Word of God says, but because we're human all of us won't have the same interpretation of scripture, although we should. I meant agreeing or disagreeing with any preconceived notion of what Kenneth Hagin Ministries stood for. That was more of a lack of eloquence on my part. I was trying to suggest them because they are the best I've read on the subject. You are also right in saying that you can learn about tongues without reading a Kenneth Hagin book. I don't care what pipe the water comes from so long as it's clean water, if you now what I'm saying. God Bless, Jesified |
