Subject: IS TONGUES FOR TODAY? |
Bible Note: Aspilos, Once again, thank you for your prompt reply. I agree with you concerning the day of Pentecost, that there were devout unbelieving Jews. What would be the difference in this present day. There are many unbelievers, Jews and Gentile's, so wouldn't tongues be for a sign today? Once again, taking the gospel to the lost so they may have a relationship with God through our Lord and Savior, Jesus, is the only requirement for salvation. God bless you, talk to you tomorrow, I'm in the middle of a study. Be a blessing! |
