AMPLIFIED 2015 | 1 Corinthians 14:5 Now I wish that all of you spoke in unknown tongues, but even more [I wish] that you would prophesy. The one who prophesies is greater [and more useful] than the one who speaks in tongues, unless he translates or explains [what he says], so that the church may be edified [instructed, improved, strengthened]. |
Subject: IS TONGUES FOR TODAY? |
Bible Note: EdB, First, Please forgive me for refering to the Holy Spirit as It. I did not realize what I had typed, but I do not believe there is a "Trinity" as I have stated before. Second, In all respects, you cannot avoid the Scriptures of Acts 8:17 or Acts 10:47 were people actually received the Holy Ghost(Spirit). Baptized in the Greek/Hebrew language means to submerge or to completely consume. Therefore, what the Bible is stating is that you are consumed by the Holy Spirit and we like the apostles refer to it as receiving the Holy Ghost. Third, I ask you who is the Comforter? The Comforter is the Holy Ghost as we read in John 14:16,26. Yes, belief in Jesus is the basis of Salvation but it goes deeper then just belief. It goes into baptism in Jesus name, receiving the Holy Ghost by evidence of speaking in other tongues as the Spirit gives the utterance, and then not conforming back to the world but living a righteous and holy life or should I say a continuing walk with God. |
