Subject: tongues: are there 2 kinds? |
Bible Note: Greetings Lewis! You make some good points! However, it seems that either view is possible. It is possible that it is the Spirit who articulates the groanings, but it is also possible that it is believers who articulate the groanings through the "help" of the Holy Spirit. By no means, would I want to be dogmatic on this point. The verse simply isn't clear enough, though there are interesting parallels with 1 Cor. 14:2. The whole point of my response was the intial question of whether there are two kinds of tongues. 1 Cor. 12-14 makes it clear that there are two functions, if not kinds, of tongues. One is a public prophetic function and the other is a private worship or prayer fuction. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
