Bible Note: Hi Tim, I agree with you about MacArther, using a bad example to disqualify tongues. He really does a bad job on that one! But I have to agree with him that there are two kinds, genuine, and counterfeit. The one is useful in communicating the gospel to people of a different language, or tongue, (1 Cor 14:22a "So then tongues are for a sign, not to those who believe but to unbelievers;" -Just like on the day of Pentecost- and I believe the only "legitimate" reason to speak in tongues.) and the other kind, which seems is nothing but ecstatic gibberish, that only serves to edify the one who thinks he is being spiritual by going along with a deceived crowd who says you gotta have it, to show the evidence of the Holy Spirit's baptizing. I've been there and it ain't pretty. Some were telling me I needed to practice speaking in tongues, and then the Holy Spirit would see my faith and soon take over for me. Talk about a bunch of hogwash! I almost fell for it! John |
