Subject: speaking with the tongue? |
Bible Note: Be blessed S : Well, actually we can come up with exalting God, yes, and then we can say some prophecising was present and manifest also, yes ofcourse... But, I guess i'd like to add that understanding how the Hopy Spirit and the speaking in tongues work and how to recognize it, that we remind ourselves to not drink just the milk that we can find in the shadow of the light, but to also eat of the meat givin to us bye the light. Paul himself talks about the dangers of the legalistics that Peter himself had to deal with at the time of the Biblical Church. I'm talking speciafically about "how one can receive the Holy Spirit, and who can receive it". This is Peter's teaching on the Holy Spirit to his bretheren: Act 10:44 While Peter spake these words, the Holy Ghost fell on all them which heard the word. It is not written here that there was laying of hands, though it can be giving that way. In this instance, the Holy Spirit fell upon these people by simply and mearely just hearing the word of God itself !!! Act 10:45 And they of the circumcision which believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because that on the Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the Holy Ghost. Act 10:46 For they heard them speak with tongues, and magnify God. Then answered Peter, Act 10:47 Can any man forbid water, that these should not be baptized, which have received the Holy Ghost as well as, we? Act 10:48 And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord. |
