It looks like Bob left and didn't tell us. I'm going for coffee everyone. See you later.

David, Bob is confused enough without throwing in another topic. Stick to the OP until he understands what happened on the Day of Pentecost.

The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of Truth. There is only ONE Author to the Scriptures. There is only ONE correct interpretation to the Scriputures. It is up to us to study as much as we can so no doctrine of demons undermines their understanding.

Of course not, but your preconceived belief is unscriptural. Bob, someone was there to interpret on the Day of Pentecost. Who?

I'm talking about on the Day of Pentecost. Who interpreted the tongues the disciples were speaking?

So was there an interpreter?

I do... joy:

NO! That is a contradiction to 1 Corinthians 14:2 For he who speaks in a tongue does not speak to men but to God, for no one understands him; however, in the spirit he speaks mysteries. Tell me the truth. Are you even reading what I've written to you? You're killing me, because I've shown...

So tell me about what happened on the Day of Pentecost. Did the Jews understand their languages or not? Were the disciples speaking their languages?

The lost doctrine from the apostles that died when the church became worldly and they put up confessionals was sinlessness. But that is the "evidence" of being saved. So if your faith is of a definition that your faith is based on Jesus saves you in spite of willful sin read Revelation 22:11

Right. The interpretation of tongues they sovereignly received from the Spirit led them to repent and be baptized that day. They understood their own languages supernaturally, while someone else heard their own language supernaturally. It also says they heard THEM, thus like a choir.

Tongues is NOT the evidence of being filled with the Spirit. The evidence is freedom from sin. However, everyone who IS filled with the Spirit CAN speak in tongues among other things according to Mark 16:16-18. But some abhor even the thought of God's gift and wouldn't be caught dead speaking in...

Bob, you're killing me! :jest: Let's try this again. 6 When they heard this sound, a crowd came together in bewilderment, because each one HEARD their own language being spoken. 7 Utterly amazed, they asked: “Aren’t all these who are speaking Galileans? 8 Then how is it that each of us HEARS...

Bob, how did you not see it. The devout Jews received a SUPERNATURAL GIFT TO DRAW THEM TO CHRIST. IT IS CALLED INTERPRETATION OF TONGUES. Now that I've told you, now go back and read it again. Scripture and stories cannot contradict Scripture. 1 Corinthians 14:2 2 For he who speaks in a tongue...

@MatthewG You quoted: 6 When they heard this sound, a crowd came together in bewilderment, because each one heard their own language being spoken. 7 Utterly amazed, they asked: “Aren’t all these who are speaking Galileans? 8 Then how is it that each of us hears them in our native language...

God is Supernatural. That is why natural man cannot understand Him. ALL the gifts of the Spirit are SUPERNATURAL, including tongues and interpretation of tongues. I thought everybody knew that much. You just can't understand if you think it is a learned language.

That first word to me let me know God existed. Then I immediately saw a vision of my sin. And I repented. Then He spoke 8 sentences to me that seared right through me. Then I repented again. And finally it happened. Jesus took away the sin in my nature completely (it felt like a heavy weight...

I didn't even know if God existed for sure for the first 30 years of my life because He never answered one prayer. Until He spoke to me. And I know exactly what you mean by a LOUD and quiet voice. I asked Him a question I was stumped on, and He said "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

So you speak in tongues and can tell the difference between the real gibberish and the fake gibberish?

It would be great if all who say they are Christians were actually born again of the Spirit, but some denominations don't even mention the Holy Spirit, and some even call repentance a "work" so won't confess their sins in order to receive the Holy Spirit in the first place. I see that...
