Why can’t i speak in tongues as a Christian

I accept scripture as written. Paul does make a distinction.
"Though I speak with the tongues of men AND of angels..."

Now your using words not listed in the Bible Nephilim. If you respond to this post please use Scripture not just own personal opinion.

He is not showing how they are different but how they share something in common. Simply mentioning them separately and in the same sentence does not support the idea that he is making a distinction between them.

The word is in the bible, Gen 6

H5303
נְפִל נְפִיל
nephı̂yl nephil
nef-eel', nef-eel'
From H5307; properly, a feller, that is, a bully or tyrant: - giant.

Doesn't prove your point of it being Angels.

That isn't my point. You said Nephilim isn't a word in the bible but it is.

Why can't you?
It is a gift from God that has a purpose.

1Co 14:5 I would that ye all spake with tongues, but rather that ye prophesied: for greater is he that prophesieth than he that speaketh with tongues, except he interpret, that the church may receive edifying.

1Co 14:19 Yet in the church I had rather speak five words with my understanding, that by my voice I might teach others also, than ten thousand words in an unknown tongue.

1Co 14:28 But if there be no interpreter, let him keep silence in the church; and let him speak to himself, and to God.

Read the whole chapter

God will not give the gift of tongues if there is no need. If everyone understands English why speak in another language?

Paul's comment addresses two things. There is the ability to speak languages of men and angels. Yet the motivating force of love is what really matters.

"Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal." 1 Cor. 13:1

If he has the Holy Ghost, the gift comes with Him.

He's just refusing to allow the Lord to speak thru him.


The private prayer language is not in any known language spoken by men... it is a supernatural

Paul spoke of speaking in tongues of angels which is supernatural communication of the Lord praying thru us.

Are we seriously trying to imply you need to speak in tongues to be saved?

Pgcegjivdtbhfgjvcgjscbjiuddh...no doubt about it....I'm saved.

This is cant agree. I know only Christians which dont got the gift of speaking in tongues.
This is mainly pentecostal and charismatic teaching that along with receiving the Holy Spirit the gift of speaking in tounges is there.

Not entirely accurate statement. It is a Biblical teaching for God's own Word.

Oneness Pentecostals teach that speaking in tongues is a necessary manifestation of the Holy Spirit and without it, a person is not truly saved.. I would not agree with that. Not all speak in tongues. (1 Corinthians 12:30)

If this would be true for the post apostolic time, then f.e. australia was without Christian till 1908/1909.
Almost all Christians in europe and america dident speak in tongues before the pentecostal movement starts in 1901.
Would you say, they had not the Holy Spirit?

But ALL should have Faith that they would.

You didn't deny my statement, so I take it that you agree.

It is a teaching, which obviously came to an end with the apostolic time. The claim that every believer who is baptised with the Holy Spirit, got the gift of speaking in tounges was also not taught during the apostolic time.

Are you telling me that the millions of people filled with The Holy Ghost and speaking with other tongues today are false and not saved by Grace.
