    I can't speak for others, but I don't lie.

    Tongues ( 'sign' gifts ) did/did not cease?

    My testimony is what we are to use. Paul did, and I will do the same. I'm sorry if you cannot relate, but it is easy to have the same relationship that I have and want for you.

    They made new Christians, and were inspired to write. We have those writings.

    Tongues ( 'sign' gifts ) did/did not cease?

    Only sinners have the devil as their father. 46 years ago Jesus took all desire to sin lawlessly and willfully out of me. I actually felt it leave, and felt light as a feather. What also left was all of Satan's influence on me. He cannot touch me. 1 John 5:18. 18 We know that whoever is born of...

    Tongues ( 'sign' gifts ) did/did not cease?

    Elie, one way to test to see if you have the Holy Spirit or another spirit, is if your prayers get answered. For those first 30 years without the Spirit but going to church, not one prayer was answered. Now, ever since I received God's Spirit and can hear His voice. He tells me what to pray, and...

    I'm sorry your brother had that experience. It is certainly the opposite of my experience. And I can see why you would believe him. Of the two manifestations of speaking in tongues, I only have the one from Mark 16. I do not have the higher one from 1 Corinthians 12 that is actually given with...

    Tongues ( 'sign' gifts ) did/did not cease?

    Real supernatural Tongues are not known by anyone, not even yourself. That means all you have is knowledge of other languages and human reasoning of the FLESH. Not of the Spirit. I used to be just like you when I was a Cessationist. I remember reading one pastor' book and he said, "Tongues...

    Don't even try to give instructions on speaking in tongues. You don't have them. You're like a blind mouse describing an elephant. You haven't a clue.

    Tongues ( 'sign' gifts ) did/did not cease?

    Read Acts 10. They didn't need hands laid on them, and neither do we. You need the Holy Spirit pretty badly right now.

    Tongues ( 'sign' gifts ) did/did not cease?

    The early rain fell on the Day of Pentecost, but God hates tiny boxes people try to put Him in, so he fell on Cornelius (Acts 10) without hands being laid on him, AND his entire family. After the apostles all died there were still some who prayed in tongues and had the gifts of the Spirit, but...

    Yes He does, but God is not in a box, nor on vacation in some galaxy far, far away...

    Tongues ( 'sign' gifts ) did/did not cease?

    I'm in the New Covenant, and because NOTHING CEASES inside of a covenant until the covenant, itself ends, what covenant are you in?

    Do you speak in tongues?

    Tongues ( 'sign' gifts ) did/did not cease?

    When you have a conversation with God, listening is 90% of it.

    Tongues ( 'sign' gifts ) did/did not cease?

    No, only those who repent. Repentance has to do with the Holy Spirit. I was baptized THREE times, the last in 73, but in 77 I finally truly repented and received the Holy Spirit and He gave me many gifts, and one was hearing God's voice. It was then after I had been freed from sin that God spoke...

    Tongues ( 'sign' gifts ) did/did not cease?

    Bob, I went to church for 30 years BEFORE receiving the Holy Spirit inside me. Not everyone who calls themselves a Christian is Spirit-filled.

    Tongues ( 'sign' gifts ) did/did not cease?

    The apostles had the Holy Spirit literally inside of them in their mind and in their conscience. It makes us be able to hear God's voice and understand the truth. If you doubt they were holy, remember even their shadow healed people. I know when God speaks to me, but it is forthtelling, not...

    None of the apostles tooted their own horn. John didn't either in his gospel. By the way, Bob, do you now see that part of the miracle of the Holy Spirit falling on the Day of Pentecost was also HEARING, and well as SPEAKING?

    Yes, forbidding yourself from speaking in tongues is breaking a commandment of the Lord.
