AMPLIFIED 2015 | 1 Corinthians 12:13 For by one [Holy] Spirit we were all baptized into one body, [spiritually transformed--united together] whether Jews or Greeks (Gentiles), slaves or free, and we were all made to drink of one [Holy] Spirit [since the same Holy Spirit fills each life].

Subject: speaking in tongues 1cor.12:1coming |
Bible Note: Romans 8:9 (ESV) You, however, are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if in fact the Spirit of God dwells in you. Anyone who does not have the Spirit of Christ does not belong to him. NASB 1 Corinthians 12:13 For by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free, and we were all made to drink of one Spirit. AMPLIFIED 1 Corinthians 12:13 For by [means of the personal agency of] one [Holy] Spirit we were all, whether Jews or Greeks, slaves or free, baptized [and by baptism united together] into one body, and all made to drink of one [Holy] Spirit. 1 Cor. 12:4-11 (ESV) Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit; [5] and there are varieties of service, but the same Lord; [6] and there are varieties of activities, but it is the same God who empowers them all in everyone. [7] To each is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good. [8] To one is given through the Spirit the utterance of wisdom, and to another the utterance of knowledge according to the same Spirit, [9] to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by the one Spirit, [10] to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another the ability to distinguish between spirits, to another various kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues. [11] All these are empowered by one and the same Spirit, who apportions to each one individually as he wills. 1 Cor. 12:29-30 (ESV) Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all teachers? Do all work miracles? [30] Do all possess gifts of healing? Do all speak with tongues? Do all interpret? To each of the questions in 1 Cor. 12:29-20 the implied answer is "No." Note that verse 30 does not ask "Do all have the gift of tongues?" That is not what it says. What it says is: "Do all SPEAK with tongues"? The implied answer, consistent with the rest of the passage, is "No, all do not speak with tongues." 'Mark 16:9-20. The external evidence strongly suggests these verses were not originally part of Mark's gospel.' 'The internal evidence from this passage also weighs heavily against Mark's authorship... 'While for the most part summarizing truths taught elsewhere in Scripture, vv. 9-20 should always be compared with the rest of Scripture, and NO DOCTRINES SHOULD BE FORMULATED BASED SOLELY ON THEM.' (Emphasis added.) (The MacArthur Study Bible, 1997, Word Publishing). What is not in doubt is the inspiration and authority of Ephes. 5:18-21, which clearly tells us what the evidence of being filled with the Spirit is. It is speaking to yourselves in psalms, singing and making melody, giving thanks always, and submitting. Ephes. 5:18-21 (KJV) And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit; [19] Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord; [20] Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ; [21] Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God. Acts 2:4 does not say they were all BAPTIZED in or by the Holy Ghost (Spirit). What it says is they were FILLED with the Holy Ghost. FILLED not BAPTIZED! Acts 2:4 (KJV) And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance. |
