It would seem that if we cannot agree to what it confirms as sign of "unbelief"(no faith) or belief(faith) , as prophecy after the manner of tongues one of the many divers manners. Then how could we build on it as doctrine? I say tongues is a manner of prophecy that God used for a short period of time .Up until the last revelation after any manner to include tongues or water baptism (No sign gifts) . We have the witness of the Spirit in us not of us .Need more? Shout out the gospel there always room for more. ?
Once we decide what the sign confirm the rest of the doctrine falls into place. And
yet for all that those who have "no faith" remain in
un-belief.
The possibility of adding even one word to the Bible has been sealed off till the end of time with 7 seals ..Do we need to widen that authority of God's word and develop our own new source of faith as in have you ever been experienced ?
Isaiah 28:12To whom he said, This is the rest wherewith ye may cause the weary to rest; and this is the refreshing: yet
they would not
hear.
1 Corinthians 14:21In the law it is written, With men of other tongues and other lips will I speak unto
this people; and
yet for all that will they not hear
me, saith
the Lord.
Same kind of unbelief (no faith) below.
Jeremiah 44:16-18 King James Version (KJV) As for the word that thou hast spoken unto
us in the
name of the Lord,
we will not hearken unto thee. But
we will certainly do
whatsoever thing goeth forth out of our own mouth, to burn incense unto the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto her, as we have done, we, and our fathers, our kings, and our princes, in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem: for then had we plenty of victuals, and were well,
and saw no evil.
I would offer it cannot as a sign confirm both a curse and a blessing. Which master?
