When Jesus told the pharisees that they should believe His works, He was talking about the obvious miracles He was performing, that is, lame people healed, blind people seeing, deaf people hearing, dead people coming to life. That's a vast difference from what you practice day to day. If what you had was miraculous, it would be a very easy thing to demonstrate. But what I get is that you are afraid that your fig leaves will show that you're really naked in that respect.

It has been proven beyond doubt (for those with an open mind and open heart to the truth) that modern tongues (for the most part) is not miraculous, anyone can do it, it has no language structure, and insufficient vocabulary to convey any intelligible message. So those doing it are deceived, and are taking the Lord's name in vain when they claim it's from God (albeit they are ignorant of that fact).

So if you really want to prove me wrong, then do as I ask, because it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure it out. It's a simple request, although it will take some time and effort. If you love your fellow Christians who need to be corrected, then you'll do whatever it takes. On the other hand, if you love only yourself, you'll continue to be hostile and slanderous.

I'm not asking you to prove you are the Christ, I already know you're not. So comparing what you do to the works of Christ and implying that I should believe you on account of the works you do is nonsense. It's ludicrous because the works you are doing (in this forum) is so far from Christlike, most people with any knowledge and spiritual maturity are shaking their heads. A Christlike work would be to repent from your hostility, and submit to doing what will obviously solve the problem of disunity among believers.

Everyone knows what a witch doctor is and what he does, so stop using exaggerative and slanderous language. Jesus said that out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks, and what you're showing in your words is evil, not good. You might think it's good, and you might think you have the Spirit of God, but I'm saying that what you're showing is a different spirit. The apostle Paul wrote that controversies are inevitable, to show who is approved of God and who is not. If you don't start acting like you're approved of God, no one is going to listen to anything you say.

So, as I spoke before, God does heal today, and some of those healings are well documented. But I've yet to see any so-called 'tongues' well documented. I'm asking people who have the gift to well document it, so that it's a clear testimony that God is in it. So far, everyone who has documented it has proven the opposite.

Can you understand that the other side (your side) needs an apologetic argument? It might be settled for you, but it's not for millions of Christians. If you want people to believe that what you do is of God, then shouldn't you make that effort? But if not, then why are you posting in this forum, except just to argue in an endless debate, which the apostle Paul warned Timothy about?

If you continue in the same vein that you're going, the only reasonable conclusion anyone can make is that you fear exposure. Why don't you prove me wrong in this matter, and do what I ask?
I see not one Biblical reference.

For clear understanding is not only chapter 12. the more excellent way turns in chapter 13. Love!
The 1. Cor. Shows that speaking in tongues was used as i find it today. Overpushed.
Paul had to correct the corinthians and there view about speaking in tongues.
In the last days i read 1. Cor 12-14.
And it fitts not with the today teaching of special those which emphesize the baptism with the Holy Spirit and the gift of speaking in tongues. Take for example the role of the woman in such churches. What Paul wrote in 1. Cor. 14, 33ff. ? Compare it with which role woman have in their churches.
(I know many will not agree with me)

Also it is not important how much someone is reading the bible or certain verses. It is the Holy Spirit who reveals the scripture to someone.
The main issue at hand is not whether some abuse their place within the assembly, such as speaking disorderly = we agree and there is no debate.

Love is te Greatest = No matter what, Lo

The main issue is whether God's View from Heaven to His Body for His Gift of Tongues is pleasing to God and for us Today.

So, can you please look at this Scripture again and give a YES or NO reason based on all of 1 Corinthians.
I just don't see your logic on how you jump from what I said to your questions. You are obviously making assumptions that don't exist in my posts. Did you read my original post here: https://christianchat.com/threads/tongues-false-teaching.196454/post-4737227
Can you see that I'm trying to get people to be a part of the solution, not the problem?

Documenting miraculous acts can be very uplifting and edifying. But merely claiming something is miraculous doesn't make it so. I'm a realist, which means I don't blindly accept what any person says, especially since I discovered I was deceived when I did blindly accept it. Fool me once...

There has been much acknowledgement among Charismatics that there is a false tongues, and I assert that it is much more prominent than people care to admit. Do you agree there has to be a major correction among the churches concerning this issue?
i also am a realist like you = agree.

Improper use/abuse of speaking in tongues is covered in 1 Corinthians = agree.

The questions are

This is why we must completely trust what God has said to us from His word without adding to it or taking away from it.
God addresses and corrects the misuse of tongues in 1 Corinthians, so we are protected from error = agree.

In light of Scripture, how do we answer these questions?
A.) God heals today only when they are documented?
B.) Tongues are for today only if they can be documented?

YES or NO to A & B

You said much of thing here but you opinion and not one text used to prove the gifts are not for today.

You have smug comments and profaning with such things like

"If what you had was miraculous, it would be a very easy thing to demonstrate. But what I get is that you are afraid that your fig leaves will show that you're really naked in that respect."


Nothing you have provided has proven anything beyond reasonable doubt LOL.

You are your Rocket scientist and linguist and secular names like Modern tongues created by those of secular humanism who rely on their own human intellect and use hostility in their comments as you are.

Just like a Pharisees as many of those like you like to do ask for proof. You insult and try to suggest one is saying they are Christ? Name call with your immaturity.

What is the reason for signs and wonders after Jesus ascended? Can you answer that from the word of God? IF you can, I would be very impressed please use the scriptures found in the Book of Acts.
The miracles in the New Testament were for attesting the apostles' message - Heb. 2:4.
The edification of the body (1 Cor. 14:26) is done through the various gifts of the Spirit. But in regard to tongues (which means languages unknown to listeners), Paul clearly stated that it was not to be used unless there was interpretation (which means translation).

Just because I didn't give references doesn't mean that my comments didn't have basis in scripture. Perhaps you didn't recognize it because of your unfamiliarity with scripture. Just because you know a few verses that you use to support your opinion doesn't make your opinion Biblical.

Nothing you have provided has proven anything beyond reasonable doubt LOL.
The burden of proof is on you to provide what it takes to show that your claim to the miraculous is valid. You're the one who claims to have the miraculous gift. Prove it. Otherwise, it's just a Big Fish story.

God heals and tongues are for today. Man doesn't make either valid no more than Man canonized scripture. The word of God is because God made it so, not man.

You never answer why signs happened in the book of Acts, did you? Your insults are most taxing. Please try to be an adult and answer my qestion. Acts 1:8 is the foundational text can you provide more. thank you.

Your question is insincere by nature. Both you and I know what Acts 1:8 says. It's your claim that you have attained to it that is what I am questioning. Therefore, stop evading and trying to redirect. Either prove you have the power, or be silent as the apostle Paul commands.

No one is disputing that Love is the Greatest = for God so loved the world He gave His only begotten Son = AGREE

1 Corinthians is God's love for us in His Body by exposing division in the Body and improper attitudes.

God corrects the misuse/abuse of speaking out of order in the Assembly, including speaking in tongues without interpretation.

So let's get back to the main point God wants everyone to know = the Gifts of the Holy Spirit for His Body/His Bride/His Church.

According to what is written in 1 Corinthians, can you find any commandment that the Gift of Speaking in Tongues:
A.) Is not from God?
B.) Has been withdrawn by God?

they even said Jesus was healed by the power of the devil. You need to read the word of God guy.
You claim that "they even said Jesus was healed by the power of the devil" - give me the reference, because I think you're making this up.

A.) Intellectually dishonest???
B.) Irrevelent?

Ad Hominen attack are not supportive but undermines your position.

Let's seek to please God and not ourselves.

AGREE = We are not follow false teachers/preachers/religions but only the Truth according to "It is written."

I am only covering what is written for us to embrace and believe in His Word.

But there were also false prophets among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you. They will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the sovereign Lord who bought them—bringing swift destruction on themselves.

AGREE = We are not to believe what religion says but what God says.

AGREE = misuse of any Gift that God gives us is wrong but that does not make the Gift wrong or the Believer who operates in those Gifts under the obedience to Christ.

So let's get back to the main point God wants everyone to know = the Gifts of the Holy Spirit for His Body/His Bride/His Church.

According to what is written in 1 Corinthians, can you find any commandment that the Gift of Speaking in Tongues:
A.) Is not from God?
B.) Has been withdrawn by God?
IMO your questions are not addressing the real issue. The real question is, 'does what people practice today called tongues the same thing as what was done in the NT?' Would you agree with this?

A.) If what is done today is not the same thing as Acts 2, then it is not from God.
B.) The only one I know of doesn't directly say, but has an implication: Heb. 2:4. Since the writer of Hebrews excludes himself from "those who heard," he excludes himself from performing signs and wonders, and ultimately the gift of tongues. Since he also says "those who heard" (directly and literally from Jesus), the implication is that ONLY those people performed those signs. So, by implication, when those people died, it is reasonable to assume that the miraculous gifts died with them.

It's not saying that all miracles ceased, but that those gifts of miracles ceased, which a person had to exercise at his discretion. Gifts given to individuals permanently, not just a one-time event. After all, isn't this the assumption about tongues today? "I have the gift of tongues" means that person has been given a permanent gift to exercise at his own discretion. Do you agree with this?

But then there is the problem of the Corinthian church. Is there any indication that the gifts, including tongues, was given to many individuals? Was it really so prolific as Charismatics claim? Does the scripture anywhere imply it?
