Bible Question (short): underlying question in these "..tongues" |
Question (full): Please excuse me for butting in... I may be wrong, but it seems that the underlying question in these "speaking in tongues" discussions is "Does speaking in tongues show salvation"? I just want to point out that none of the "gifts" of the Spirit show salvation. Any lier can fake "tongues". However, the "fruit" of the spirit does show salvation. Remember that the number 1 fruit is Love. It is very difficult to "fake" love as discribed in the Love chapter (1 Cor 13). Any comments? If I am wrong in my assumption of an "underlying question", then please forgive me. Merry Christmas to all, Pastor Glenn |
