Subject: is tounges a sign of holyghost |
Bible Note: Doc The point I was trying to make was Montanism was not rejected because of their use of tongues but rather their bad theology. Therefore we have an example of tongues that did not raise an objection by the early church fathers. I also wasn't trying to make point that numbers carry any weight other than the fact that tongues is not a localized phenomena as many try to make it. Your right there are about 2.5 million AG's in the States however world wide they claim 50 million adherents. You can verify that yourself at http://ag.org. I also wanted to stress the point that many of those foreign adherents came into the denomination because they witnessed the move of the Holy Spirit by hearing the gospel preached in their language when the speaker was speaking in English. Therefore once again I retreat to my position that being. If tongues have ceased how do we explain the fact that many hear the Word of God being preached in English in their own language and thus come to salvation through it? If we attribute it to Satan saying he is counterfeiting it then we also have to say his house is divided because people are getting saved and giving glory to God. If we say it is a genuine move of God then we have to say “the perfect” has not yet come and tongues are in use as seen in the Books of Acts. We only get to dance on one side of the line which side do we want to dance on? EdB |
