Sounds like the gifts of the spirit to me, just like in the upper room. Kundalini and spaghetti is much better.[/QUOTE]
Not even close. It is a COUNTERFEIT at best. Here is the Upper Room story, and NONE of it is being done like the Disciple did it. I do not what to debate it, you can do what you want, and I will believe what the BIBLES SAYS. Please, I settled this issue back in the late 80's and nothing can sway me otherwise, and the LORD convinced me in my heart. You are wasting your breath. Hear is the actual account:
Acts 2:2-8 (NKJV)
2 And suddenly there came a sound from heaven, as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting.
3 Then there appeared to them divided tongues, as of fire, and one sat upon each of them.
4 And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.
5 And there were dwelling in Jerusalem Jews, devout men, from every nation under heaven.
6 And when this sound occurred, the multitude came together, and were confused, because everyone heard them speak in his own language.
7 Then they were all amazed and marveled, saying to one another, "Look, are not all these who speak Galileans?
{Galileans were known to speak with a thick accent, so you could HEAR where they were from, AND THEY DETECTED NO ACCENT.}
8 And how is it that we hear, each in our own language in which we were born?
NOT EVEN ONE ITEM THAT HAPPENED IN THE UPPER ROOM IS DONE TODAY.
I do not ever want to hear anything about it, as long as I live. BACK TO THE SUBJECT: NOT BY WORKS

the gifts God has given to me are more than i ever could have asked for... and came not because i earned them but because He loves me
i cant speak in tounges or understand them (every time ive seen others... it felt fake.... even those i consider genuine saved believers who dont make specific gifts a "requirement" for salvation)
i cant heal others... ive tried .... as silly as it may sound to some
i cant even heal myself... i... would love to be healed of what im dealing with (physically i mean.... spiritually i am perfect... praise God it was not my doing)
i dont know if i could call myself wise.... but if i did i definitely couldnt call myself meek 😆
but God has given me peace
and joy
and love
and the ability to truely forgive
through the Holy spirit....
He also continues to work patience in me (much work to be done here😅)
Hes given me a new heart that desires righteousness
and He has blessed me with assurance in His promises
and directed me to many wonderful brothers and sisters in Christ
but most importantly He gave me not only life (which He did give me)
but eternal life
🙂
(sorry if im off topic but i missed a lot and i only caught a bit of the last few posts... some seemed to be about spiritual gifts😆)
anyways
love you guys
and praise God
who saves us by grace through faith and not by works😉
