And I will say, I do think things like this happens across the world.. I used to be a full cessacionalist. But people here have changed my view.. If God needs it to led people to christ, he will use it.
I also believe there will be a time in the future where 144000 jews will all speak in tongues s they go out to re-evangelise the world.
I think of some good friends of ours who are no longer here because they went this low..
You mash up the scriptures in Isaiah something dreadful,
God is speaking to those who reject His grace. Who make the sabbath rest yet a day, rather than the day God gives spiritual rest to His people. The Spirit. In the Spirit, speaking in the Spirit, walking in Spirit. Spiritual people in His image for God is Spirit.
This is the sabbath rest of God:
9 To whom will he teach knowledge, and to whom will he explain the message? To children just weaned from milk? To those just taken from the breast?
10 For it is: "Do this and do that, do this and do that, Line upon line, line upon line, a little here, a little there."
11 Very well, then, by strange lips and foreign tongues the LORD will speak to this people
12 to whom he said, "This is the resting place, so give rest to the weary"' and "This is the place of repose"—but they would not listen.
13 So, then, the message from the LORD to them will become: "Do this and do that, do this and do that, line upon line, line upon line, a little here, a little there," so that they will go, but fall backward, and be injured, snared, and captured.
The sabbath rest of God when we cease the natural man and become Spirit.
.
8 So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.
9 But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.
God's Word says we are to ask for and shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. So many do exactly that.The tongues that the 'snake handlers' sought and received by faith, are they also real?
I went back and read those posts
it's always like that with the subject of tongues
no respect
it would be nice to be able to chat with others of like mind instead of dealing with people who jump on you and tell you that you either have a demon or you are wrong and then be given scripture that has nothing to even do with speaking in tongues
or be told that the perfect has come so tongues are no longer given
God's Word says we are to ask for and shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. So many do exactly that.
In addition the Word cautions about speaking against the Holy Ghost:
"Verily I say unto you, All sins shall be forgiven unto the sons of men, and blasphemies wherewith soever they shall blaspheme:
But he that shall blaspheme against the Holy Ghost hath never forgiveness, but is in danger of eternal damnation:
Because they said, He hath an unclean spirit." Mark 3:28-30
You're a false judge.My friend, you are so dismissive. Do you know how much God loves us?
Do you not believe in prophets and the gifts of the Spirit?
One needs to have an open heart and be willing to listen and share in Him.
I cannot speak for others, but the Lord is so gracious, I am not going to turn
down His gifts to help His body.
I gave many scriptures. Are you another one who doesn't care if what they say is truth or not?YOU are just giving a worthless opinion
see how that works?![]()
I experience gods power in many ways every day. I take offense that you or anyone else thinks I have to have some special manifestation of the spirit to experience Gods power.
That is the problem with many churches, they focus too much on certain things, and not enough on others. And think unless you have these things, something is wrong..
Yeah they are afraid of satan
Thats why many are afraid of this. Satan comes as an angel of light. And we see in Jesus own words that people prophecy an do all kinds of things in jesus name, when it was in reality satan. Thats why using experiences to say you are saved is dangerou, you do not know if it is god or satan.
You're a false judge.
God revealed the truth to me about speaking in tongues. You should humble yourself and listen.

Are you receiving new prophecy that we could add to the rest of God's witness the Bible to man or has that possibility been sealed up with 7 seals as in we have the whole or the perfect? Do you have a new message as a private revelation that could add?
What's the thing about making a noise and using it to confirm something? How is that walking by faith? What does it confirm according to the law? Belief or unbelief?
do you just dream up strange things to say?
1. who said anything about receiving new scripture? I would be totally against that. yet you try to make a case for your unbelief by stating false things...many many times..cause this is not the first thread about this subject and this is not your first attempt to try and dismiss everything taught in the NT concerning the gifts
2. do you have something factual concerning the op or are you just going to continue to operate in your default position of God just leaves things up to happenstance these days so do not expect any guidance from Him
3. oh you heard a noise? quiet on my end. maybe go check the cupboards. could be mice
Amen....the truth trumps any and all experiences....Peter under inspiration said this when discussing the transfiguration.....we have a more sure word of prophecy.....
