Even satan and his angels speak in the same Heavenly tongues too.
Wow ! That is some extrabiblical knowledge you have there but I wonder how you came by this knowledge , has Satan and his angels been talking to you ?
Because we are not told anything in God's Word about Satan or his angels speaking in a heavenly tongues .

That's great, but can you 'interpret' to a common language all understand like English?
I believe scripture supports the not having to.

1CO 14:2* For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God: for no man understandeth him; howbeit in the spirit he speaketh mysteries.

There are two sources of "TONGUES". One is from your 'spirit, talking to God, for self edification'. In this verse the translators actually interpreted "spirit" correctly, in the lower case. I don't even understand my spirit's heavenly/angelic intercessory language. It's still the 'triune me' praying to GOD. while my clueless soul is also listening. That tongue may or may NOT be any of YOUR BUSINESS. Or anyone elses for that mater.

The second source of "TONGUES" comes from the Holy Spirit of God speaking to man. That word is for the edification of the whole body....or the whole world.

I think maybe he meant that there are Biblical tongues and satanic tongues as in some Voodoo ceremonies. Satan cannot create, he can only counterfeit and he makes sure he counterfeits all of God's true gifts to entice people wanting a supernatural experience. Even interpretation of tongues. Have you ever heard stories against Pentecostals where someone from another country understands the tongues and says they are saying blasphemies? I've heard those stories when I was a cessationist. It isn't that the tongue were even in their language, but what they heard was blasphemous because they were unbelievers and open to Satan. When I lived in Arizona, some teenagers brought one of their friends from high school to a youth night and they had a prayer time at the end and they circled around the girl and were praying. Then they all started praying in tongues and it affected her greatly. So much so that she gave her heart to God that night. She didn't even HEAR them speaking in tongues. She only heard English! God spoke to her through the tongues by using the gift of interpretation of tongues. I found out THAT is what happened on the Day of Pentecost to the 3,000 devout Jews who all heard their own languages. They didn't understand naturally, but supernaturally via interpretation of tongues. What was heard was all of the 120 disciples speaking in unison like a choir. "No man understands" tongues. Meaning, no one understands tongues naturally. Only supernaturally. I asked God that question when I had read 1 Cor. 14:2 that no man understands tongues. And I thought about the Day of Pentecost and it didn't make sense. So I prayed and asked God the question of why did those Jews understand their own language. I went to bed and early the next morning as I was just becoming conscious I heard God say, "interpretation," and heavenly knowledge flooded my mind. And when I went back and read Acts 2 it was plain as day. Verse 8 And how is it that we hear, each in our own language in which we were born? It wasn't about the 'speaking' but the 'hearing.'

That tongue may or may NOT be any of YOUR BUSINESS. Or anyone elses for that mater.
It sounds like you read my book, The Hidden Mystery Behind Tongues" I made that same statement. LOL

It took seven years to write that small book as God taught me everything I know about tongues.

That handmaidens will prophesy is restricted to Israel in the last days and doesnt apply to the church the body of Christ in the dispensation of grace
We are already in the last days, and in God's purposes for His people the nation of Israel has no part. Political boundaries, race, gender, or colour have no place in the kingdom of God.

Agreed. There have been many incidents where our church evangelists have preached to crowds (tens of thousands) in places like Papua New Guinea, where numerous different dialects are represented among the hearers, the preacher spoke in English, and was heard by all in their own language.

Sorry 1CLady, I have not read your small book. But I do know 'He who inspires' you and me to speak and write concerning the things of God. Whether those things be in the bible or not. So it is not a surprise that he shared the same 'words of truth' to both of us. And my word, though not written in a book, just may have been heard before you even heard the same word. hlo

But, also in all honesty, I do have a differing opinion of one of your statements shared earlier, as to the day of Pentecost. I don't know that the supernatural "gift of hearing" lines up with those visiting foreigners. If I was in a foreign country and heard someone speaking English I wouldn't say; "Hey I just interpreted what you are saying in English." (It's the only language I speak) I would have to say "Hey you speak English just like me, are you from America?" I'm not saying that God can't and hasn't done what you share sister (even as @Brakelite confirms), but I have no problem believing the Holy Spirit was manifesting "tongues of men" through 'the saints' and not 'the sinners' that day.

You shared some other things in your post that I have never heard elsewhere that I can say my spirit bears witness with your spirit that those words came from the Holy Spirit. :Hnds

I bet you don't speak in tongues do you. What does 1 Corinthians 14:22 mean regarding tongues being a sign to the unbeliever? Let's see if having your Bible has given you truth. The Bible is alive. It can blind the eyes of Pharisees and open the eyes of a tax collector. So, more is needed than a book.

The Bible regarding knowing God is as seeing through a dark glass. But when Jesus returns and we see Him face to face we will know God thoroughly.

We must be born again. What does that mean to you?
You and 'Hillsage' are giving us 'babes in Christ' and 'shortsighted' to the Holy Bible knowledge and wisdom reasoning.

What's the point when we've already proved you wrong once on our prior post, and do we continue in vain repetition and end nowhere?

This is apparently Bible Study Forum, and you seem to 'ignore' 2 Timothy 3: 16 & 17, and testify your mal-practice of the Gospel twisted doctrine?

Stop being haughty and being wise in your own conceit, since the 'forbearance' of the Lord, do not accumulate trouble for yourselves on judgement day.

Will answer you one of your 'silly' question, is tongues the only best gift, what about 'prophesying' equal to that in the same chapter??

If you have tongues, can you 'interpret' them to 'English'??

If you can't, 'shut up' and speak quietly between you and GOD, or satan having the tongues of angels too, period

Seriouly!

Hillarious!

That is because you 'lukewarm' church don't seem to believe and have faith in 2 Timothy 3: 16 & 17, but we do, therefore we 'differ' apparently.

As a result, you haughty and wise in your own conceit are not given 'interpretation', therefore serve the kingdom of satan without and together loudly show off meaninglessly to the 'blind' or 'poor'.

And according to same ch.14 even, when an outsider walks in. he thinks you all are 'crazy', or best scripturally, even 'drunk'!

But to us who believe and have faith in All Scripture=Holy Bible, 'knowledge' and 'wisdom' from above is 'added' to our faith since we 'prophesy'.

Stop the 'fake' and 'misrepresentation' of the Holy Bible in this Bible Study Forum, you 'blind guides' of the 'blind', thank you.

Repent!

Since speaking to man and man understand your version, then why Paul require 'interpretation' for the edification of the congregation?

Your version is 'disturbing' since it's not Biblically supported (2Timothy3:16&17), and it is not from GOD.

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


First issue and i agree with Dough who've quoted the scripture, only men saints in the congregation speak in unknown tongues or tongues of angels worshiping GOD.

They are to use this gift speaking in church to benefiting the believers gathered together as well, therefore pray that one may interpret. (vs.11&13)

For he that speaks in the unknown tongues, his spirit 'prays', but his understanding is unfruitful, meaning, himself also don't understand. (vs.14)

What is it then Paul?

He says, he will do it both, will pray and sing in the spirit and pray and sing with the understanding also (vs.15).

Meaning, in the spirit he pray and sing in unknown tongues and likewise in his understanding as man he'll pray and sing in the common language too.

Vs. 16, else when one bless in the spirit using unknown tongues, how the unlearned in the room say Amen, when he doesn't know what's spoken?

Therefore speaking in the spirit of unknown tongues and speaking in understanding in the common language, everyone in church who hear also understand and are 'edified' together.

But if everyone in the spirit goes on speaking in unknown tongues and speak not in understanding, and there comes in those who're unlearned, or an unbeliever?

Will they not say that these people are 'mad'?

(Apparently was our first impression when we witnessed the mega charismatic church in social media, all of them speaking in unknown tongues, even falling to the ground laughing and jumping like animals meaninglessly)

For the record, women, you're not allowed to speak in unknown tongues in any gathering of the church, whether there be two of three gathered in Jesus name.

Besides that you can do it in silence, between yourself and GOD, because it's given to man and they should interpret as well, if not they're to be silent as well.

According to 1 Corinthians ch. 11, you're allowed to pray and prophesy in the congregation, provided strictly with a 'covering' over your head.

You may pray and prophesy in the common language that the church of that nation understands. (meaning in whatever language known to man)

Anything else that is done un-Biblically, is referring to workers of iniquity or lawlessness on their own going ahead of the foundation, period

Shalom in the name of Lord Jesus Christ.

I'm allowed to ask a question, and I'm not in church so answer the question. And more to the point, I'm asking it of a child. Women are allowed to teach children, male or female. So to you who are very immature in the fruit of the Spirit, what do you think 1 Corinthians 14:22 means regarding tongues being a sign to unbelievers, not believers? If already answered somewhere in these thousands of conversations, it is very unloving of you to require of me to search for them. This is a hard question seemingly as there are few who know the answer. And when they don't, especially men, they detract, distract, and attack, especially to women they believe they are better than.

You and 'Hillsage' are giving us 'babes in Christ'
And your response is very much 'proof in the pudding'....babe. :Broadly:
and 'shortsighted' to the Holy Bible knowledge and wisdom reasoning.
Let me refute SHORTSIGHTED and reveal to you an 'INSIGHTED opening' of the scripture you quote.
This is apparently Bible Study Forum, and you seem to 'ignore' 2 Timothy 3: 16 & 17, and testify your mal-practice of the Gospel twisted doctrine?

I ignore less than I am often accused of from those who respond like you do. Let me unpack your verses above.

2TI 3:15* And that from a child thou hast known the holy/heiros scriptures/gramma, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.

"holy" = 2413 hieros: sacred AND IT IS ONLY FOUND 1x IN THE NT.....the verse you just quoted.
"scriptures" = 1121 gramma: a writing, i.e. a letter, note, epistle, book, etc.; plur. learning
AND IT IS FOUND 14X IN THE NT.....AND ONLY 1x INTERPRETED AS "scriptures". in the verse you just quoted.

2CO 3:6* Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter/GRAMMA, but of the spirit: for the letter/GRAMMA killeth, but the spirit giveth life.

You babe are killing with the letter what has been revealed to 'some' of us by the spirit lower case. Why lower case? Because it isn't in agreement with the HOLY SPIRIT of GOD himself which you think lives in your sinful flesh body.

16* All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: 17 That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.

Might want to do a bit more work on becoming PERFECT like the above scripture calls us to. I'm certainly still trying to get there.

Stop being haughty and being wise in your own conceit, since the 'forbearance' of the Lord, do not accumulate trouble for yourselves on judgement day.

Will answer you one of your 'silly' question, is tongues the only best gift, what about 'prophesying' equal to that in the same chapter??

If you have tongues, can you 'interpret' them to 'English'??

If you can't, 'shut up' and speak quietly between you and GOD, or satan having the tongues of angels too, period
I read the above in the light of what I just shared. And you will never get what some of us have, a prayer language from our spirits to God. Something that can't happen with your interpretative comment as presented above. You should be asking us questions, instead of revealing to me, how wrong everything you just quoted is.

I will continue on with your next post....next. hlo

Even satan and his angels speak in the same Heavenly tongues too.
Whatever language the demonic realm occupants speak in it is not by the power of the Holy Spirit .
And they are spirit and they can invade a human body, even when cast out there's a possibility they can return back with reenforcement.
Then you should not get close enough to hear what language they are speaking in .
The Holy Ghost gives you unknown tongues and you are to pray for 'interpretation', to explain it in the common language for the people you're interacting with in charity.
Surely .
That's what you say, but you don't understand what you speaking to GOD, and what He's answering, so what's the point of speaking?
All of my prayers are not in tongues . I usually start my prayer in my native tongue and then the Holy Spirit will give the utterance and I pray in tongues . When you pray in tongues the Holy Spirit is praying for exactly what is needed to be prayed for .
You can be communicating with the devil and he could be answering you, because he disguises himself as an angel of Light.
The answer was provided by one of God's calling cards he used in the Old Testament ,
For the record, 'allah' is not the GOD of the Holy Bible, but 'satan', want to know more speak to Christian Prince or David Wood on social media.
Allah is Arabic for God , Arabic Christians use this word . My spelling is a guess so it could the Aramaic Alaha that is said when I speak in tongues .

What Is God In Aramaic? - Christian Website

Usage in Ancient Texts and Inscriptions​

“Alaha” appears frequently in ancient Aramaic texts and inscriptions as the name of the supreme deity. For example, it is attested over 150 times in the Aramaic portions of the biblical books of Ezra and Daniel.
Based on the context of the scripture and sound doctrine, is the gift of tongues the only gift of the Holy Ghost?
No .
What if i've received a better gift than yours, gift of 'prophesying' and it's spoken in the common language all listeners understand, like in this forum?
PRAISE GOD ! With the greater gift come the even greater responsibility , pay attention . Gird up your loins .
Apparently your testimony able to speak in unknown tongues without interpretation and drawing unlearned others, merely lead GOD's unlearned lambs and some sheep 'astray'.

When I pray in tongues I am alone speaking to God . No one is lead astray , rest easy warrior of God .

Acts 2:
4. And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.

6. Now when this was noised abroad, the multitude came together, and were confounded, because that every man heard them(Christ's disciples) speak in his(hearer's) own language.


Your version is 'disturbing' since it's not Biblically supported (2Timothy3:16&17), and it is not from GOD.
YOU appear to not realize that there were TWO SPIRITS manifesting two tongues in verse 6 above. So let me try to shed a brighter light than you, or the non tongue speaking theologians who wrote your KJV above have ever understood. In so doing' They set a theological precedent, that dumb Pentecostals and Charismatics never learned to fight against, and correct). I AM!

But first I have to clear up the wrong thinking of theologians who never had 'the gift' of tongues from 'the givers' of 'the gift'. So how could I expect them to understand scripture in Greek or English, except through lenses, just like you wear.

Drop all the capitalization's, in vs 4 which are added by misunderstanding theologians, and then drop the DEFINITE article (the word THE) which was in front of "Holy "Ghost". Why? Because it was never in or implied by the Greek. WHY? Because we are not talking about 'a person' or a 'hypostasis of the triune GOD called The Holy Ghost. We are talking about holy spirit power which has fallen upon and in, the body of Christ that Pentecost day.

Now vs 6. look at the word "NOISED" which was the first thing heard by ALL in the temple/house of God, that Pentecost day celebrating the feast. And what did that "NOISE" do? It drew all in the house of God to the portico where the JESUS FOLLOWERS were gathered. And what did that 'NOISE' sound like according to THE BIBLE?

Strong Ref # 5456 phone: a tone (articulate, bestial or artificial); by impl. an address (for any purpose), saying or LANGUAGE

Say WHAT!!! That LANGUAGE SOUNDS like what you "unbelievers" say about us. We talk GIBBBERISH, We talk BABEL. We talk like DRUNKS.....OH, wait heck no, you can't say that, because Peter already called the "unbelievers" out for that statement in Acts 2:15. Welcome Fred, to the world of TONGUES from YOUR spirit praying to GOD.

What was the next LANGUAGE that the Jews from all those other countries of the world, were going to HEAR with their own EARS? It was the "gift of tongues" coming FROM the HOLY SPIRIT of GOD that THEY SPOKE. AND they were speaking "HOLY GHOST". Sorry 1st lady, that's the word I've heard from the holy spirit of christ in me. @1stCenturyLady


QUESTIONS I want you to answer FREDDY;
Refute phone/noise as I've presented it.
Refute Two spirits and two tongues as I've presented it.
AND answer me as to why did KJV say holy/hagion ghost/pneuma 83 times in KJV and holy/hagion spirit/pneuma only 8 times?????
I have an answer. But I'll be a gentle-man and let you go first, :Hnds

What if i've received a better gift than yours, gift of 'prophesying' and it's spoken in the common language all listeners understand, like in this forum?

2PE 1:21 For the prophecy came NOT in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the H oly G host.

Maybe you aren't as 'well taught' as to what the true biblical spiritual definition of prophesy is either. Two good qualifiers above "holy" "as they were moved by hmmmm not The Holy Spirit....again, but by "the 'holy ghost'..hmmmm I striked through the absent the in the Greek and I lower cased the h and g in KJV.... The KJV didn't do what they did 'accidentally'.

Your version is 'disturbing' since it's not Biblically supported (2Timothy3:16&17), and it is not from GOD.
Why would you limit God to your opinion? Or even limit Him to what is written? So long as they're no contradiction to righteous principles previously established, God can do whatever and work Bieber He thinks best in any given situation. Especially when people's souls are at stake.

Anyway, besides all that, I see no contradiction between the modern experience and what took place in Jerusalem.

This is proof your 'shortsightedness' and as a result disregarding the Holy Bible as 'imperfect' on us, your own misconception and lawlessness.

This is Bible Study Forum and true born again believers are gathered here in Jesus name in fellowship learning from each other the Kingdom of GOD.

There can be agreement, disagreement, misunderstanding etc. but we get to reflect and pray for each other, forgive one's sin and gather again.

As apparently, we're called to seek first the Kingdom of GOD and HIS righteousness that is based on 2Timothy3:16&17, and likewise iron sharpens iron.

The true born again believers gathered here are the 'church', since only need 2 or 3 gathered in His name and He is in our midst.

It's not you can see Him, but rather His word of spirit and life in the Holy Bible tells us so, and in faith we believe He's indeed in our midst.
Women are allowed to teach children, male or female. So to you who are very immature in the fruit of the Spirit,
It's like telling Jesus that He was immature in the fruit of the Spirit that day, to react with the Israelites, in the Temple and even referring to a Cannanite woman as 'dog'.

i believe Apostle Paul is referring to a woman like you to be 'silent' in church, not to teach nor practice authority over man, but rather wisely learn from the proceedings where iron sharpens iron.
what do you think 1 Corinthians 14:22 means regarding tongues being a sign to unbelievers, not believers?
That's better, this is the fruit of a woman beautiful in her heart, humble and wants to learn, thank you very much.

Basically born again believers of the Holy Spirit are spirit, and moreover disciple by the Apostles (us by them in the New Testament).

Therefore they spiritually are aware about the orderly proceedings in the congregations, even with 'interpretation' and is no longer a sign for them, and a routine ordained service.

But to a 'stranger' who walks in for the very first time, witnessing 2 or 3 at a time speak in unknown tongues and then interpret into the common language as to fellowshiping with GOD?

Moreover something one never witnessed nor encountered in his life, definitely is a 'sign' for him, that this people are worshiping GOD uniquely than others.
If already answered somewhere in these thousands of conversations, it is very unloving of you to require of me to search for them.
Researching 1 Corinthians ch.12-14, is good works, therefore you'll know our knowledge and wisdom is given and comes from the Holy Bible, and nowhere else besides your imaginations.

In the New Covenant of GOD, HE shepherds HIS lambs and sheep, discipling them personally according to 2Timothy3:16&17(therefore keep on studying the Holy Bible while also serving the Kingdom).

We're gathered together here in sharpening each other based on what we've been disciple with as church, whether who know much or less, since we can get 'blunt' forgetting ourselves in this world.
This is a hard question seemingly as there are few who know the answer. And when they don't, especially men, they detract, distract, and attack, especially to women they believe they are better than.
On my side, we don't attack, but 'rebuke' and 'correct', even with quotation of the scripture to prove, because women due to their 'weakness', tend to get 'distracted' easily and 'emotionally' respond finding pity.

(we men too have our 'shortcomings' and the Lord deal with us personally, and His 'chastisement' is difficult to bear at times, but no choice)

Sorry, not all of you 'babes', because there are ones silent, wise and rather listen like Mary, and beautiful in their heart like their mother 'Sarah'.

Nevertheless, you too can get there being a 'doer' and 'abider' of GOD's every word that proceeded out of HIS mouth.

Moreover because the 'forbearance' of the Lord, He also wants you to practice and achieve, and lawless or sin no more.

Shalom in the name of Lord Jesus Christ.
