Speaking in tongues

[Stephen63]

Who here claims to be an interpreter? I will send you video of several people speaking in tongues and you can interpret for me and everyone else.

No one can interpret on their own, neither speak in tongues when they want to. Note the Scripture:

Acts 2:4 [SUP]4 [/SUP]And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.
Ephesians 6:18-20[SUP]18 [/SUP]Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints; [SUP]19 [/SUP]And for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel, [SUP]20 [/SUP]For which I am an ambassador in bonds: that therein I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.
Colossians 4:2-4[SUP]2 [/SUP]Continue in prayer, and watch in the same with thanksgiving; [SUP]3 [/SUP]Withal praying also for us, that God would open unto us a door of utterance, to speak the mystery of Christ, for which I am also in bonds: [SUP]4 [/SUP]That I may make it manifest, as I ought to speak.

Not a single gift can be ruled by the individual who has it. The Spirit leads, and the gift leads its possessor as that person submits to the leading of the Holy Spirit. Anyone who tries is a fake.

i believe everything the Word says...

You really don't give a stuff about truth, all you're interested in is rubbishing any Scriptural experience (ie. Baptism in the Holy Spirit and gift of tongues) that another believer has had that you haven't experienced, so stop waffling on about being a seeker of truth, you're simply NOT, your mind is completely closed!

If you are REALLY serious about truth, I linked to a short study in post #6 of this thread on the Baptism of the Holy Spirit and the gift of tongues (you can find it Here), study it with an open mind, do yourself a favour and follow the example of the Bereans... Acts 17v11,12.

I am responding to the truth of scripture. Not a belief.
We can believe in anything as we often do. But it is the truth that excludes ALL other beliefs.
If you do not seek the truth then you will be thrown around by the winds of all kinds of doctrine.
So Paul is saying the truth is in scripture not in a religious understandung of it.
2 Tim 3:16-17.

k....thanks.

rejected.

the whole Movement is pagan, done in ignorance, and the people end up dulled and immature.
it makes a mockery of what God did do in the early church,
and embarrasses the Body of Christ.

that's truth.

it offends you - but see, that's not my problem. it's yours.

 

[fredjames]

Peace be with you, the beginning part of your Holy Scripture quote is true and i apologize for my wrong quote of the Holy Scripture of 1 Corinthians 14; 22, by also looking verse 23. Thank you for being as the member of the body of CHRIST to step in to save the day of confusion.
One cannot save the day but the intervention of brethren as a body to save the day about what is true and false according to the Holy Scripture.

UMM I think Zone is concerned about the truth. The thing is what it sounds like people who say they have the gift just somehow know that THEY have the gift but are can not be sure that SOMEONE else has the gift and can't say why the other doesn't have the gift nor can say how they can be 100 % sure they themselves even have the gift in the first place.
THAT IS WHAT IT SOUNDS LIKE. I hate tell you this but GOD IS NOT A GOD OF CONFUSION. Why is it that NOT one has shown true examples of what it really is and what it really isn't and can EXPLAIN the difference between the two. And if you can't explain the difference between the two HOW on God's green earth can one possibly say they have the gift in the first place? What is so hard to understand about that?

Let me make this as simple as I can IF THIS IS NOT from the Lord,it is divination,witchcraft and idolatry,God does NOT take that very lightly to that and it is a very,very,very bad place to be. Is one who is skeptical about it so wrong to be so?

 

[SarahM777]

Umm I should correct that first line. It should have said. I KNOW Zone is concerned about the truth.

 

[fredjames]

Peace be with you, why there is a contradiction between verse 22 and 23. One verse 22 says it is a sign for unbelievers. Verse 23 says it is also seem as craziness for unbelievers?
May GOD the FATHER of our LORD JESUS CHRIST bless you.

 

[Messenger_T]

Yes it will seem craziness to unbelievers WITHOUT an interpreter.

 

[Pure_Heart]

Well, we can go on like this without reaching a final conclusion. What I believe is that everyone understand the bible the way it is revealed to them and however, you see speaking in tongues.. YOU ARE RIGHT! Many times during church service we've had someone speak out from the congregation and another person interpret. Also, you can be praying in your closet and all of a sudden you start speaking in tongues; all is acceptable and good. God bless you all.

 

[Messenger_T]

The peraon speaking in tongues is a believer. The person hearing the message is an unbeliever and rexogniEa it as a miracle when they know that the person apeaking it does not speak their language. The message is for the believer. Why would God want to send the gift of tongues t JUST believers?

And as I stated from 2 tim 3:16-17 the TRUTH is in scripture. The way it is revealed is plain. Study ia what is required then if it is not accepted it ia in tje hand of God.

 

[jb]

that's not my problem. it's yours.

It's certainly not, you're the one with the problem, you reject a Scriptural experience that the early church experienced and many believers (including myself, I was baptised in the Holy Spirit 30 years ago, with the evidence that I had received it by exercising the gift of tongues, as the Spirit gave me utterance, just like they did in Acts 2v4) today have experienced...

Time and time again on this forum when someone disagrees with you, you rubbish what they write and slag them off, you surely fulfil 2Tim 3v7 on the subject of the Baptism of the Holy Spirit and the gift of tongues. You even have the audacity to rubbish God's wonderful gift of tongues, which was purchased by Christ descending into the Abyss in Hades were He suffered the pangs of death to make atonement for the sin of the world, how low can one stoop! Isaiah 53v10, Acts 2v23-33, Rom 10v7, 1cor 12v7-11, Eph 4v7-16.

The only thing I feel for you is pity!

 

[vic1980]

After watching all these videos ,can anyone interpret what has been spoken in them, i would like to know thx and God bless

People love to run wild with these snippets from 1 Cor 14 also.


They say, "See Paul wishes all spoke with tongues. And see, Paul spoke with tongues more than them all. Thus we should all just sit alone muttering to ourselves in tongues! I mean after all, Paul wished all spoke in tongues!"


The reason Paul wished they all spoke in tongues, and the reason he's thankful he spoke in tongues is because tongues is a sign for unbelievers.


Thus if he was speaking in tongues, there were unbelievers around getting a sign of the Gospel (For their times). And if that meant unbelievers were hearing the gospel, no wonder why he said that he wishes all spoke with tongues.

Tongues there as everywhere are but the various languages of peoples, even as it were at the fulfillment of the prophecy of Joel there at Pentecost as described in the beginning of the Acts of the Apostles.

Certainly we ought to all desire that gift to be able to penetrate the glorious message of Christ through the language barriers unto all men.

 

[zone]

It's certainly not, you're the one with the problem, you reject a Scriptural experience

dont add SCRIPTURAL.
you don't have the right to do so.

there's nothing scriptural about it
it is opposed by scripture.



i dont reject anything scriptural.

i reject these waves of embarrassing antics which have nothing to do with GOD.

keep your pity.

 

[unclefester]

i reject these waves of embarrassing antics which have nothing to do with GOD.

Amen. As do I ... and will until our Lord's return.

 

[fredjames]

Peace be with you and thank you and may GOD the FATHER of our LORD JESUS CHRIST bless you with kindness and peace and boldness.

I speak in tongues and I will go verse by verse to anyone who's open to the Spirit.

Tongues is a sign for unbelievers because they refuse to believe its of God.

Interpretation is prophesy.

There is self edification its called praying in the Spirit.

The Spirit intercedes with unintelligiblegroans.

You don't undestand it, either does the enemy, that's why you can think, pray, sing in your mind while speaking in tongues.

Corinthians forgot the love in the gift so they were interrupting service, which is why Paul said the Spirit is subject we can start and stop.

Prophesy is best in church, but I pray in tongues with other believers so the Spirit speaks and prays what we do not know.

People hearing their own language in Acts was a miracle, if people were all speaking 120 languages at once you'd hear nothing distinct.

Thank you for putting into understandable words from the New Testament what all who believe would understand. I have had some difficulty being clear with this subject although I have attempted to say the same, thank you for being in Jesus when you post. Please pray I remain on and stay the course with all in Him...............thanks.

No thanks.

That is a gross distortion of what that particular scripture means and says.

It has nothing at all to do with anything 1 Cor 14 speaks about.

Romans 8:26 ¶Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.

That quite clearly speaks of no words being used at all. It is shameful to misrepresent the word that way!
