Subject: Speaking in tongues? Use by women? |
Bible Note: BradK, I hate that you judge that I am arrogant and spiritually superior, just because I stand for what I know. I'm not better than any other human. But what you are saying - and I don't think you mean to be this way - is that what we (ones who are operating in the gifts and experiencing God) are lying. I only asked you questions - I really want to know the answers! Also, I see you as my brother in Christ and sometimes we learn from each other, this is a learning way. I've said before, there are no diplomas in holiness - only God knows it all. I don't mean to be ugly when I say this, but if you are only reading and studying the word and going by what well known theologists are saying, you ARE missing something. Please don't think that I am lying or some false teacher just because I have a personal relationship with God. I asked you before in another post - Do you KNOW God (felt His presence, heard His voice, as a healer, etc)? I'm concerned because there are going to be a lot of souls that will not enter into God's kingdom because they don't know Him, but only of Him. Would I be right if I knew something was bad for someone and didn't tell them? No way! I'd be no better than the one that laid the trap. There's a popular phrase that says, "don't knock it until you've tried it." God has a purpose for you too, just ask Him to show and I guarantee, He will. He will show you the signs and gifts if you really desire to know. I want to share this with you - then I'll shut up. Before I spoke in tongues, I was very skeptical. I wasn't allowed to teach Sunday School because others hadn't heard me speak in tongues (and we're not even Pentacostal!). I started to look for ways to justify myself (also, I used to hate prophetic nights - just didn't seem real) and believe it or not, I found them in the Bible! But when I asked God to show me the truth, He did! One of the gifts I so badly hated in my ignorance and selfishness, He gave it to me. So, I'm not just talking out of what words, orthodoxy, and what theologists say, the Word is operating in me. We all have a purpose. WalkingTalkingBible |
