Subject: speaking in tongues |
Bible Note: Goodguy We must be careful of feelings! We must trust in scripture to guide us. But we must properly interpret scripture making sure we aren't filtering our interpretation process of scripture through preconceived ideas, biases, prejudices, and past teachings. Many cling dogmatically to doctrine that contradicts other established doctrine found elsewhere in scripture. Also know that some positions of doctrine have been debated for hundreds of years with out resolution. So for one person to say I'm right and everyone else is wrong is just as absurd as another saying I'm right and you are wrong. There are men and women of distinction on both sides of the speaking in tongues issue. Most are similarly educated, of equal intelligence, all possessing high standards of Bible study, dedication, faith and holiness yet they differ on this subject. Why this has occurred I can't answer with any certainty. I have an opinion but it isn't popular and for that reason I will not offer it. But I believe it will be answered when the church is brought back into unity. |
