NASB | 1 Corinthians 14:22 So then tongues are for a sign, not to those who believe but to unbelievers; but prophecy is for a sign, not to unbelievers but to those who believe. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | 1 Corinthians 14:22 Therefore, [unknown] tongues are [meant] for a [supernatural] sign, not to believers but to unbelievers [who might be receptive]; while prophecy [foretelling the future, speaking a new message from God to the people] is not for unbelievers but for believers. |
Subject: A bit confused regarding tongues |
Bible Note: First of all Hank, You should be very careful about what you say about the Holy Ghost (Mark 3:29). On the other hand I am not sure that you can blaspheme the Holy Ghost without actually having the Holy Ghost. Secondly, the word of God does not say it is a KNOWN language. It is a heavenly language Hank. The apostles in Acts 2 were in one accord and they all spoke the EXACT same thing in tongues. Yet all of the people understood what they were saying. It is my belief they were speaking in the heavenly language and God opened the understanding of those that were listening. How eles could the apostles be speaking ONE thing in one accord (unison) and every man understand? IT IS GOD!! There were like 50 different languages there. Thirdly, the bible says in the last days perilous times will come and that there will be people who have a form of Godliness but deny the power and to turn away from such. (1 tim 3:5) And it says they will be EVER LEARNING but NEVER coming to the knowledge of the truth. (1tim 3:7) I feel like that is the way that some people in this study forum are. Always learning, and asking things that prolly never would have crossed my mind, but are unable to come to the knowledge of the truth. All I ask of the people in this forum is RATHER than blast a doctrine, find out about it's biblical roots. Rather than "cast stones" please ask me. My dad use to say people who live in glass houses should not cast stones. I could find plenty wrong with MOST of what is said in this forum. 60percent of it is OPINION or someone thinking they have a secret interpretation and not bible (1peter 1:20). The Holy Ghost is my power. It is my Helmet of Salvation. I know it is real. So you can live in the dream land that you are right all you want to. You have no biblical foundation. When someone finally shakes you out of that dream world, you will see the truth. And my dad has always had this saying "You have the right to be wrong." Natasha |
