    Concerning the gift of tongues

    No one said that anywhere so why do think to instruct us all regarding this notion? The op is about the gift of tongues so surprise! that is what is being discussed. There are other spiritual gifts. BTW, it is Christ we receive when we accept God's gift of salvation. We are sealed with the...

    Concerning the gift of tongues

    I have no problem studying and understanding what Paul writes and the how and the why of how he became the apostle to the Gentiles. In fact, I would greatly encourage it. However that does not change the fact he said do not follow him. (again, personally. Paul did not have a divided mind, so...

    Well you don't seem to be. I would not expect you to be civil in your responses at this point. You don't disappoint

    Well maybe not hate, but they think they have something to latch on to. It's boorish behavior and the cycle of rinse and repeat seems to be their latent position

    Exactly. However we should all follow Christ and that was what Paul was actually saying; but without bragging about it

    Concerning the gift of tongues

    I don't like leaving things hanging so came back to end with this post 1. The scripture regarding Paul was not good enough for you where he gives the Corinthians what for regarding their arguments for who they were 'following'? Follow whoever you want but I will take Paul's advice and follow...

    Concerning the gift of tongues

    It's ridiculous. The fact some here think only Pentecostals speak in tongues or believe the gifts are still in operation simply illustrates how closed in and cultish their circles are. Plus, no matter how many times a person tries to tell them otherwise, they just continue in their narrow...

    Concerning the gift of tongues

    You are not a mind reader and certainly not my mind. Why would you think I don't know or am not familiar with the NT or those who wrote it or why they wrote it? Your ignorance concerning others is not helping you. Ask questions and don't assume you know someone.

    Concerning the gift of tongues

    Sigh. And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, even as unto babes in Christ. 2 I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for hitherto ye were not able to bear it, neither yet now are ye able. 3 For ye are yet carnal: for whereas there is among you...

    Concerning the gift of tongues

    I don't think it is referring to 'human' ideals either. It does seem to indicate wholeness (perfection) in God and not the Bible as some believe and point to that as a reason to believe God is out of the spiritual gift giving business.

    Nope. I'm obviously not going to post the link, but that was not the site. I believe you when you say you are not a friend of Mz Whites.

    Concerning the gift of tongues

    Gag. Paul is somehow the probable reason we are Christians? According to his epistles to the Corinthians, Paul would be the first person to rebuke you. Your belief regarding Paul, or your 'Pauline' adoration amounts to cultish behavior You follow Paul, against Paul's instructions but see no...

    Concerning the gift of tongues

    For the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable [for He does not withdraw what He has given, nor does He change His mind about those to whom He gives His grace or to whom He sends His call]. Romans 11:29 From the amplified version to help your understanding but says the same in all...
