Bible Question: There are a number of verses mostly in Acts describing spiritual gifts and i have spoken to people who believe that you have only truly received the spirit if you can speak in tongues. I dont believe this there are many spiritual gifts and i think that the spirit will give you a gift that suits you.Have you not received the spirit if you cannot speak in tongues? |
Bible Answer: Scripture ... Acts 2:41,47; 4:31; 8:36; 16:15,32 ... Light Angel, welcome to the forum. I have listed some of the accounts of salvation where there is no mention of the person speaking in tongues. They all received the Holy Spirit. The gift of tongues (1 Cor 12:10ff) is only mentioned once of the three times the spiritual gifts are listed. Read carefully and you'll see that -no one has all the gifts and -no gift, including tongues, is given to everyone. -the gift(s) you have are given to you ... you cannot choose them (or ask for them - that is rude). The gift of "speaking in tongues" has been copied by Satan. Searcher |
