Subject: But What is it? |
Bible Note: Greetings Coop1! Allow me to add a couple of points! 1) It wasn't Hank who responded to your post about tongues, it was Radioman! Hank's probably sitting back saying, "What did I do?" :-) 2) Both you and Radioman are partially right about Acts 2. Radioman is correct that same tongues of 1 Cor. 14 is being discussed since the same Greek word is used in both passages. However, you are right that there is a difference. Notice that Acts 2:6 and 2:8 both say that each one heard their own language. This was a miracle of hearing. It doesn't say that each language was represented among the speakers. It says that each "heard" their own dialect. So, the tongues may or may not have been real languages, but each one heard their own language. 3) Finally, there are many differences of opinion concerning this whole topic simply because Scripture doesn't give us as much detail as we would like. So, there are a lot of unaswered questions. My personal view is that tongues are for today, but they are just one of many spiritual gifts provided by the Holy Spirit. They have their place, but aren't necessarily the most important. In fact, according to 1 Cor. 14, unless they are interpreted, they shouldn't even be spoken outloud in a worship service.
