    WHAT IS "SPEAKING IN TONGUES" and the SIGNIFICANCE OF IT?

    You are right of course. I merely, gave the example of Revelation 13:8 that the Book of Revelation cannot stand apart from the whole Bible.

    WHAT IS "SPEAKING IN TONGUES" and the SIGNIFICANCE OF IT?

    If Revelation 22:18-19 is in reference to the book of Revelation only, how then can you understand Revelation 13:8, "....Lamb slain from the foundation of the world"? So you see the Book of Revelation cannot stand apart from the Bible which is one cohesive whole.

    WHAT IS "SPEAKING IN TONGUES" and the SIGNIFICANCE OF IT?

    1 Corinthians 14:39 was still possible because the Bible was NOT yet complete. This must be read in light of 1 Corinthians 14:37. To God Be The Glory

    WHAT IS "SPEAKING IN TONGUES" and the SIGNIFICANCE OF IT?

    "What? came the word of God out from you? or came it unto you only?" A child of God should be able to teach and also be taught. So tell me, what part of my OP did I mess up? Was I not faithful to the Word?

    WHAT IS "SPEAKING IN TONGUES" and the SIGNIFICANCE OF IT?

    I believe that is what the Pharisees told Jesus when He walked the streets in Jerusalem. Jesus said: 11 Verily, verily, I say unto thee, We speak that we do know, and testify that we have seen; and ye receive not our witness. 12 If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how...

    WHAT IS "SPEAKING IN TONGUES" and the SIGNIFICANCE OF IT?

    You are describing what occurred at Pentecost and NOT the same occurrence that happened at the church of Corinth. The occurrence at Corinth required an interpreter, whilst at Pentecost the occurrence was miraculous, where 15 or so foreign nationals heard the Gospel in their native tongue! To...

    WHAT IS "SPEAKING IN TONGUES" and the SIGNIFICANCE OF IT?

    Before the Bible was completed it was biblical for those at the church of Corinth to speak in a tongue. That was possible because God was still bringing revelation in that day. Individuals would receive a message from God in an unknown language and when that was interpreted it served to edify...

    problem related to praying in tongues

    Seems this phenomenon of "Speaking in Tongues" has everyone "tongue tied" so to speak! I mean out of 135 posts, someone in this thread should at least have gotten the gist of this significant subject! I believe this confusion of speaking in tongues began with churches that spoke and prayed in...

    problem related to praying in tongues

    I beg to differ. In Acts, the Holy Spirit was manifested (poured out) to each disciple and apostles, so that the people heard the Gospel in their original language. Remember, the apostles and disciples spoke with only one language, yet at Pentecost, there were at least 15 or so Nations that...

    I didn't know you get your truths (spiritual things) from "google." Myself, I'd rather stay with the Bible, which is the Word of God!

    problem related to praying in tongues

    HAS ANYONE EVER WONDERED WHY THE "TONGUES PHENOMENON" ONLY OCCURRED IN THE CHURCH OF CORINTH, AND THAT PAUL SPOKE WITH TONGUES MORE THAN ANYONE? Please don't anybody say because of the women being disorderly in the congregation.

    problem related to praying in tongues

    Obviously, things that are of God are spiritual in nature. For the last time, please define the meaning of "speaking in tongues" BECAUSE from God's perspective, you have no clue as to what it is. But let me give you a hint and perhaps you might see it? Please read 1 Corinthians 14:18-29, and...

    problem related to praying in tongues

    Only because you have no concept as to the meaning of the word "phenomenon." The word "phenomenon" can be translated as "miracle," "experience," "reality," to name a few. True, but Acts and 1 Corinthians are entirely different concepts, although both are a miracle occurrences. Here lies the...

    ADDENDUM, The miracle that occurred at Pentecost that about 15 Nations heard the Gospel preached in their own languages is NOT the same as the "Tongues Phenomenon!

    problem related to praying in tongues

    problem related to praying in tongues I'm afraid not one who posted on this thread has gotten the gist on the "Phenomenon of Tongues" including the writer of the OP! We do not go into our closets and pray to God with a different language other than the language we learned from our parents...

    UNRELATED??? FYI, everything in the Bible is corelated, from Genesis to Revelation for the Bible is one cohesive whole, not to mention that God is the Ultimate AUTHOR!!! To God Be The Glory

    problem related to praying in tongues

    problem related to praying in tongues Why is it that Christians who has no idea about the the things of God, come to the market place of the world, and tries to sell their goods (knowledge) to others NOT really knowing what they are selling? Case in point, the Tongues Phenomenon? Actually...

    What Is Waiting For Us At The End Of Life?

    @Aunty Jane, I'm in agreement in most of your comments in post 14, except for your scripture reference of 2 Corinthians 11:14-15 which I believe is somewhat out of place, although everything in the Bible corelates from Genesis to Revelation. 2 Corinthians 11 is used mostly when Satan sits...
