    Speaking in tongues is NOT a gift

    What happened on Pentecost was a phenomenon. Some people misrepresent that as a way to speak other languages …or to communicate with others from another country… Logically that wouldn’t make sense. If it was true, and I visited another country and spoke in tongues so they could understand…. I...

    Speaking in tongues is NOT a gift

    You are correct regarding tongues…the primary purpose and benefit if for the believer private prayer life. However, if it is done in meetings, that person should also interpret or as Paul states it is unprofitable and will be as a foreigner. But if you take into account, all of chapter 14 it...

I instruct those about accepting Jesus Christ and making Him lord in your life ….I go in-depth from the Word… on the benefits of tongues…. accentuating...

    Speaking in tongues is NOT a gift

    The verse you refer to is 1Co 12:11 But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will. Some say the words “severely as he will” are referring to “as God wills”. If that were the case then God just contradicted Himself from verse 7 where He stated...

    Biblical Jesus (Book of Matthew) Bible Study

    Hi Matt I don’t know if you want to be using this page as your springboard on the Gospel of Matthew... One underline, but glaring assertion that seem to be woven throughout this is writing .....is the human authorship of the gospels. · The use of "Matthew" in this Gospel may be...

    It is not a trance …You are in complete control...like speaking your native language only you make the decision to speak in tongues. The true God does not control or possess…ever! …..The god of this world, does. Available to all men, women, children (at an accountability age, my kids were 6)...

    Speaking in tongues is NOT a gift

    I do ...have for many years. I was instructed ....(instructed is the wrong word) I learned of it from a book Called Power and (or in) Praise. I had never heard of tongues or heard it done previously, so I didn't have any preconceived idea or know what the heck to expect. The book just said (and...

    You are correct regarding gifts in verse 4 12:4 A literal understanding of this would be: “Through the choice or option of God, there are gifts given to man.” Verse 4 does talk about the “diversity of gifts” …..of which there are seven given to the “Church of the Body of Christ” →(“5 gift...

    Speaking in tongues is NOT a gift

    Good luck…I have been trying to teach this for years, but people have a tendency to read what they believe rather than what is written. The word “gift” that has been added in 1Co 12:1, 13:2, 14:1 &14:12 has certainly contributed to this error. And although the KJV and NKJV do have this word in...
