Subject: IS TONGUES FOR TODAY? |
Bible Note: Joe-- My very first post to this thread, I mentioned that this topic has been well debated! I for one happen to believe in "all" the gifts. I believe the evidence of the Holy Spirit in a person's life is Love. Salvation is Romans 10:9-10 A person can be saved without being baptized (however, I don't know why a person wouldn't want to), or without speaking in tongues (again, I don't know why one wouldn't want to). You know how I view this site, a great oppurtunity to grow. I have read some great wisdom and revelation here. I take what I want and leave the rest. The other reason I enjoy this site is, it's a great place to win souls. And what I mean is this, there are so many brother and sister's struggling and they come here, do we dare shoot them down or do we (we, figure of speach) utilize the five fold ministry, until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ, as written in Eph.413. I live in a big city, and not everybody attends the same (Christian) fellowship, and many have different doctrines, however God loves them, so do I. Thanks for your response, I'm here to study and Lord willing, lend a encouraging hand. God bless. |
