Subject: some people say you must speak in tongue |
Bible Note: 1. Who is the verse speaking to and what does it mean in context? It is speaking to all believers who had ALREADY Repented and been Baptised in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sin. According to Acts 2:38. (You on the other hand have not done so, if you had, you would understand my words) By this, you would have been baptised into the Body of Christ.You would have also spoke in tongues as the Spirit of God would have given you utterance. 2. How exactly has scripture contradicted you? The Holy Ghost do not agree with what you are teaching. How do I know? Because I have indeed received the Holy Ghost by the baptism of Jesus. I did not claim it on my own. And he do speak and that means, not just in tongues. You have a form of Godliness. But it is not according to Power. Did you know that in the presence of anyone that is part of the body of Christ can use his name to fill individuals with the Holy Ghost. And with that name can cause those with demons to manifest themselves (They (demons) even speak to you ). You can also case them out using that name "JESUS CHRIST". |
