Right, speaking in tongues is by faith. If you don't have faith that tongues are for today, then you have a chain around your heart, so won't. But that doesn't mean you haven't been given the Holy Spirit, if, in fact, you have been baptized in the Holy Spirit. The biggest error in the church is...

Oh right! You're the one that calls our natural tongue a supernatural gift from God and that makes three. Now along those lines, don't forget those who know and can speak many languages, but seeing as natural languages are not the real subject, you can forget I mentioned it. There are only two...

There is no such thing as a "General" tribulation. The Great Tribulation is 7 years long, and is two halves like the other times. The first one was 67BC to 60 BC, with the defilement of the temple in the middle. The second was 66 AD to 73 AD with the defilement of the temple again in the midst...

Yes, that particular 1260 days IS parallel with one of the halves. But is it the first half, or the second half? I believe the second half off the top of my head.

Can't remember if it was you or not, but I did ask someone to explain to me how they reconcile 1 Corinthians 14:2 with their interpretation of Acts 2. Please do. I'm the only one who has so far.

The other key words are EACH and THEM.

That's what I said, so I agree. And Jews were only half of the 12 million people executed.

No they are not parallel. It clearly says "CONTINUE for another 42 months." After what? The first time, times and half a time. This was the third and last 7 year period of tribulation for the Jews. Hitler doesn't count because there was no temple involved. I also don't know how many years was...

I mentioned Pharisees because of you. They were Jews and you were arguing (oy vey) about me saying it was probably Gentile Romans that were doing the mocking, so if Jews according to you, who? Pharisees??? It was a joke, because it was getting nonsensical.

Hi, TEXBOW I'm glad you believe in tongues for today. I don't have to start from scratch like for unbelievers or those in the Church who are uninformed, 1 Cor. 14:23. LOL I'm not doing any of that. But your understanding of Acts 2 is flawed in your understanding of even the English language...

Yes, that is not for Jews who are then being saved, but for those in the church who have yet to overcome. See Revelation 2 and 3. They are called "the rest of her offspring" in Rev. 12, and is the first half of the GT. But then in Rev. 13, the beast continues for the second half of the 7 year...

Hi Curtis Revelation 12 is the First half, and the second half (mid) is Revelation 13 (allowed to "continue for 42 months).

So you believe that speaking in tongues was for the purpose of preaching to foreigners of other languages in their natural language? It is not Charismatic embellishment; it is rightly dividing the Word of Truth, and not contradicting 1 Corinthians 14:2.

Pilate was Roman, and Jesus was crucified in Jerusalem which was under Roman rule. Jews from all those areas mentioned were in Jerusalem for the feasts at that time. This was the feast of Pentecost. Who do you think were mocking? Pharisees? You do know that there were 3000 Jews that came to...

Not edifying

They were already believers in the Messiah and had the fear of God in them, so they already belonged to God and received the gift of interpretation of tongues to draw them the rest of the way to the knowledge they needed that Jesus is their Messiah. Acts 10 shows a Gentile that believed in God...

The rest of Scripture just calls it "praying in the Spirit." And speaking in tongues is NOT the evidence Pentecostals believe it to be. Everyone who receives the Spirit CAN speak in tongues, Mark 16:17, but not everyone who receives the Spirit WILL speak in tongues. Before some come to Christ...

Only the devout Jews that already belonged to God were drawn by the Spirit. They are His gifts, and He can use them as He pleases. At the time, Gentiles were not given the gospel, let alone the Holy Spirit. Therefore, the mockers had to be Gentiles, probably Romans.

Read 1 Corinthians 14:2 and tell me how Acts 2 does not contradict it.

Of course. So what is your point pertaining to what I wrote? Do you know the difference between prayer/praise TO God, and messages FROM God that must always be interpreted? Verse 28 is about the office of interpreter. If that person isn't there, then those with the office of message giver must...
