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

    I don't teach anything that isn't scriptural Apostles 1st - John 20: 22 And when He had said this, He breathed on them, and said to them, “Receive the Holy Spirit. 2nd - Acts 1:8 But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem...

    @Behold But NEITHER the sign nor the gift of tongues can be understood by man. 1 Corinthians 14:2 is true of both. Only the direction is different. SIGN: TO God GIFT: FROM God, and needs the supernatural gift of interpretation. Our prayers do not need to be interpreted, but a person with...

    Of course I am. I don't lie! And I can understand what is being said, by how they wrote it. How do you explain that each man heard all of them speaking his own language. You are just not reading it correctly. You are coming at it with a preconceived belief and can't see that each person heard...

    I agree with you. It was the 120 who were speaking the sign of tongues from Mark 16:16-18 TO God in PRAISE. But the gift of interpretation can be given to anyone to draw them to Christ. I saw it happen just like this in Arizona. This was the 120s first filling, but the apostles second Acts 1:8...

    Hi Behold. On the Day of Pentecost the Holy Spirit fell. BOTH the speakers and the hearers who all loved God received the Holy Spirit. They were all Jews The 120 disciples spoke in tongues the 3000 devout Jews came to Christ that day because of the gift of interpretation of tongues.

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

    Yes, we are to encourage each other, but that is not the purpose of speaking in tongues. With tongues we are speaking to God, not to man. In Mark 16:16-18 tongues has no interpretation because it is TO GOD ONE WAY. That is perfect prayer or perfect praise TO God. In 1 Corinthians 12, all of...

    So I see you do not believe God's word. 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. Obviously, tongues was not meant for preaching.

    But Scriptures are the Word of God. 2 Tim. 3:16 All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, 17 that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work. There are only a few...

    The Holy Spirit will never contradict Scripture. That is one way to test the spirits.

    In other words, you're a bona fide Cessationist.

    1 Cor. 14:2 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. ... 5 I wish you all spoke with tongues, but even more that you prophesied; for he who prophesies is greater than he who speaks with tongues...

    But most of what Paul wrote was scripture. If you are filled with the Spirit and can hear His voice, you can discern what little is not scripture.

    The writings of the apostles are also Scripture. IOW inspired by God. Peter called Paul's writings Scripture. Did you know that? But that is only what Paul claims is from God. Scripture explains Scripture. Scriputure never contradicts other Scripture.
