Never heard of them.

Some people take verse 28 that way, but keep silent in the church and let him speak to himself and to God could mean pray outside of the church, since Paul says earlier in the passage that he speaks in tongues more than them all, yet in the church he would rather speak five words with the...

Re: Romans 8:26, Does it make sense that speaking in tongues is groanings that cannot be spoken? I conclude that speaking in tongues can be spoken, and are therefore not the same thing as these groanings that cannot be spoken.

The Bible does not teach that it is inherently sinful to own a slave. The only verses that might indicate otherwise aee verses about giving up all one's possessions to follow Christ. I have heard Christians call slavery a sin. It bothers me that they get their definition of sin from...

That verse doesn't say that anyone who wasn't baptized by John would go to Hell. Jesus baptized with the Holy Spirit. Jesus told the apostles to baptize the nations in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. Baptism with water continued on after the ascension. Many...

Do not worship Sunday. Do not worship the Sabbath.

When I read the OP, I thought we should start with scripture that says or implies that we should pray for people to get saved. That verse came to mind.

I'm not sure if the A/G had formed, but some of the early Pentecostals just assumed they would be able to preach in tongues on the mission field without learning the language. The Bible does not teach that, but some of them believed that. While many tongues at Azusa Street and other...

Paul contrasts praying with his spirit, which he would do if he prayed in tongues, with praying with h Wasn't that an earlier stage before the formation of the A/G?

It looks like you are backtracking, reversing your stance on an area of agreement. There is no evidence at all that the apostles were supernaturally empowered to speak in languages that they did not know to proclaim Christ crucified and resurrected. It's possible that's what they said in Acts...

And it is therefore pure speculation to assert that the apostles evangelized 'in tongues'.

There is no evidence he preached in supernatural 'tongues'.

@Nehemiah6 there is no evidence in the Bible at all for the idea that anybody ever spoken 'tongues' supernaturally like tgus and preached the gospel that is Christ crucified buried and resurrected. Speaking of the wonderful works of God in tongues got the attention of some people who...

Twice. Four cases of individual or groups gifred without the laying on of hands of the apostles. One recieved a gift through prophecy with the laying on of hands of the elders.

c sources? I still see no reason to think the Greek word means that...or tge English.

I don't see why more people would change the rules on speaking in tongues. Implementing I Corinthians 14 could be difficult with that many people. If a prophetic word comes to someone else while a prophet is speaking, the prophets is to hold his peace, for ye may all prophesy. And if every...

Utterance doesn't mean elevate in any language I know of, and I looked up the etymology and that's not where the word comes from.

In what language does 'utterance' mean to elevate. I've seen the same word translated 'speak' in Greek translated 'utterance.' It also means something spoken in English.

So you think he's saying utterance of the working of miracles, utterance of gifts of healing, and utterance of distinguishing between spirits?

Yes, collective praying or singing in tongues in church in 'worship' is not taught in scripture and goes against what Paul teaches in I Corinthians 14. Tongues and interpretation, properly done, does not.
