I see you believe in the "T" of T.U.L.I.P., Total Depravity. That means you believe you will always have a sin nature. Yes, we have one nature, but it is no longer the sin nature we have before being born again. We now have a clean nature, John 15:3, Romans 7:5-6, Romans 8:1-9. Do you believe in...

So, which is it? Do you loathe sin. Or do you still have to deal with the desire? Romans 7:14-25 is reminiscent of what the Jews went through memorizing the Ten Commandments and dealing with the desire due to an active sin nature. Romans 7:5-6 is a Christian. They are clean, as in a clean...

Well, does a regenerated person keep sinning and breaking the last 6 of the 10 commandments? Or just has immature fruit of the Spirit, but keep the 10 commandments because they lost all desire to break them?

Less than a year ago I heard some ladies talking after Sunday School before church about the seers in their small church, so, I jumped in and asked what they were talking about. They said, there were 3 seers there in that tiny country church that could see a halo emanating from Pastor Jim as he...

Except that what you don't believe could happen happened. Read the account more carefully. And if I were you I wouldn't tell God what He can and can't do. LOL Notice the emphasis is on the hearing, not the speaking. Hearing is spoken of first as it is being emphasized. because everyone heard...

Exactly. That is the sign of tongues. Paul tells us why it is not for in the church unless directed by the Pastor for praise as a choir, like on the Day of Pentecost. 1 Cor. 14:23 "Therefore if the whole church comes together in one place, and all speak with tongues, and there come in those who...

GH, you and I could probably talk all night about our lives living in the supernatural. I witnessed another creative miracle like Jesus turning water into wine again in my living room. First was in 1985, and this last one on Thanksgiving while I was all alone.

Simply obey His rules and you won't be guilty of trying to teach God what would be best for us. Father knows best. 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. Our personal tongues are not to be spoken...

Not permanently. But like the 3,000 on the Day of Pentecost, the Holy Spirit gave it to them to draw their attention. And after Peter's sermon, they were all baptized.

Though I have the sign of tongues without interpretation, unfortunately I rarely speak in tongues for that reason that I can't understand it. And that is wrong; I must operate in it more. Paul wants us to use it a lot, and he even said he speaks in tongues more than anyone in Corinth. But I am...

Right. And that is why our gifts for us individually in Mark 16:16-18 doesn't have interpretation of tongues. That gift is for the church when someone stands to give a message in tongues that MUST be interpreted. Tongues are only understood supernaturally, never naturally.

God never does anything to contradict His word. Here is the rule: 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. That means they couldn't understand the tongues naturally. Therefore........?

To the Corinthians who are Greek I believe, read 1 Cor. 14:22 and 23 and let me know why Paul said that tongues is a sign to the unbelievers, not believers.

You are correct, the Gift of Tongues is not our prayer language. That is the sign of tongues. It is in Mark 16 and interpretation of tongues is not given for prayer and praise. However, in 1 Cor. 12, the similar gifts of tongues, does require interpretation because it is for the profit of all...

What the girl heard was from God and very personal to her. She didn't know they were praying in tongues because all she heard was English. You can scoff, and I don't blame you, but what God said to her from the tongues and her interpretation changed her life and she became a Christian. I know...

Not just Jews, but unsaved Corinthians and other Gentiles. Are tongues a positive sign, or a negative sign? 1 Cor. 14:22-23

Can you imagine the cacophony of noise that 120 different languages all spoken at once would produce. Who owns the gifts? God does. He is authorized to use His own gifts in the drawing in of DEVOUT Jews. I've seen the identical thing happen to a non-Christian teenager who had Christian friends...

It was both. The 120 speaking in tongues supernaturally did not know what they were saying, and the 3000 heard all of them at once speaking in each man's language. Like a choir. They each heard supernaturally, not naturally, but by the gift of interpretation of tongues. It is very clear and...

You were talking about the 3000 people who heard them speaking in tongues. Do you believe they heard their own languages naturally or supernaturally?

I'm not talking about the believers in Jesus. I'm talking about those who were listening. I mentioned 3,000. There were only 120 disciples there with the Apostles. Read these again and tell me which you believed. Did you mean that the 3,000 heard them speak in tongues and naturally heard their...
