Speaking in tongues?

[JimKnox]

Sadly, that's very close to the line of claiming the Holy Spirit is actually a demon.

You should at least be honest and let everyone know you have been sitting under ministries of people who are cessationists which are those that choose to walk in unbelief concerning the gifts of the Holy Spirit.

Mr. Jackson:
Had you been reading this WHOLE thread you would have learned that I revealed early on that I was in the charismatic movement for the first 10 years of my 46 years of being saved by the blood of Christ.
If you had done that, you would not have dishonestly disparage me.

As I mentioned at that time; I know ALL the tricks of the charismatic apologists/polemicists. You are late to the party and have pulled one of their most heinous tricks out of your hat: i.e. accusing your opponent of blasphemy of the Holy Spirit.

The "spirit" of ecstatic utterances is NOT the Holy Spirit.
Make of that what you will.

Hey have you noticed you seem to be saying something different in your prayer language (tongues) depending on what is happening to you? I have noticed sometimes if I am struggling with something I seem to be saying something different in tongues. Also I seem to have 5 different prayer languages and I am able to switch between them by thinking about it. I believe this is scriptural, it is "diversity of tongues" as in the scripture. (1 Corinthians 12:10)

Are you able to TRANSLATE what you are saying ?
Are OTHERS in the same room ALSO able to translate you ?
Are you talking in a known language ?

Somebody forgot to tell Paul that the 'gifts' were still going.
eg, He was no longer able to heal

Hi everyone, do you speak in tongues? I was baptized in the Holy Spirit about 1 week after I got saved, a few days later I was lying in bed when God spoke to me and asked me if I wanted to speak in tongues, I said yes. God got me started and now I can do it at will! Starting off I could only say a few words in tongues but now I have a full-blown language! I also have 5 different tongue languages and I can switch between them by thinking about it! I believe this is "diversity of tongues" as said in the bible! Every day now I walk down each floor of my apartment building praying in tongues, I also go outside and walk down the street praying in tongues. I can feel something shift in the spirit world when I do this! There is an evil presence on 3rd and 2nd floor of my building but it leaves when I go down there and pray in tongues!

Are you a heavy drinker? hehe

I was Spirit-baptized at age 16, as I tarried at the altar in an amphitheater near Pelikan Lake on a Pentecostal campground.
I was full of doubts and skepticism at the time. But that experience of tongues was BY FAR the high point of my life! The Spirit came upon me in a wind, as I was engulfed by wave after wave of liquid love, each more intense than the last, until it seemed that my; feelble mind was about to be absorbed in an omnipotent divine mind. One witness later told me she couldn'[ stop staring at my face, which was glowing in the darkening amphitheater. A Lutheran minister interrupted me to say he ddin't believe in tongues and was just there as an interested spectator. But I just touched him gently on the forehead and he exploded in other tongues. Now, decades later, I regularly receive stroung nourishment from the very memory of that indescribably awesome experience.

I didn't say ecstatic utterances didn't exist.
I said they are not Biblical and they are not of God.
I do not deny your 'experience '; it's just not Biblical.
