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: Light Angle: I have experenced the Baptism of the Holy Ghost and Spoke in other tongues as the Spirit gave the utterance,It is truly Joy Unspeakable and Full of Glory and it is a Free gift from God. Why would we not want to recieve it when the Holy Gives you power to witness change your life style guide you in your life and on and on i could go. But see if the Following helps you any study these pages and Scriptures and decide for yourself about recieving the Spirit of truth and grace and Joy that surpasses all understanding. Spirit. The Spirit is our rest, guide to all truth, adopter, intercessor, sanctifier, seal, and the earnest of our inheri-tance (Isaiah 28:11-12; John 16:13; Romans 8:15, 26; Ephesians 1:13-14; I Peter 1:2). Someone can receive the Spirit by repenting, having faith in God, and asking God for His gift. We should always expect speaking in tongues when someone receives the Holy Spirit. Tongues do not save in any sense, but the Spirit baptism produces tongues as the initial sign. Once a person receives the Spirit, he has power to overcome sin and live a holy life (Acts 1:8; Romans 8:4, 13). If we let Him continually fill (control and guide) us, we will bear the fruit of the Spirit and become Christ-like (Galatians 5:22-23). What is the status of a person who repents and is bap-tized, thereby receiving remission of sins, but does not receive the Holy Spirit? He cannot be condemned for sins that are remitted, yet he cannot enter the kingdom of God without the birth of the Spirit and the holiness imparted by the Holy Spirit. Some suppose he will inherit the new earth, although the Bible does not explicitly say so. Jesus has commanded him to be baptized with the Spirit, and for Jesus to be complete Lord of his life he must obey (Luke 24:49; John 20:22; Acts 1:4-5). |
