AMPLIFIED 2015 | 1 Corinthians 12:30 Do all have gifts of healing? Do all speak with tongues? Do all interpret? |
Subject: Do holy people have to speak in tongues? |
Bible Note: Joe You raised some good points and obviously in many cases tongues are counterfeited. Some of the meanest nastiest people I have ever met have been tongue talking Pentecostals. However I do not believe the proves the all tongues are counterfeit. It just proves that in many cases it is. I think any one that says you must talk in tongues to have the Holy Spirit working in your life is mislead. I do not believe that people that talk in tongues have more the Holy Spirit or have more “anointing”, I feel they have learned to yield their will to the Holy Spirit. I think that this is essential to be used in the sign gifts. The others gifts like discernment and wisdom I believe every believer moves in or at least should. Actually tongues have surfaced and submerged many times in church history. I think the thing that many miss about Asuza revival is the renewed focus on holiness and tarrying at the altar. I believe more people were seeking God than seeking manifestations and God meet them. I think later the manifestations became the focus and I believe that is where the problems began. Joe you have no argument from me there are many abuses of the sign gifts and when people let them become more important than God or carry more authority than the scripture there is a problem. That said I can see no reason to condemn the sign gifts if done properly and in order, not to magnify the user but to magnify God and Christ. EdB |
