No, not Jerusalem and Samaria, but us individually. Acts 2: (individual power) 2 And suddenly there came a sound from heaven, as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting. 3 Then there appeared to them divided tongues, as of fire, and one sat upon each of...

What I do I keep part of my mind always focused on Him. He will interrupt my own thoughts with a word, or what I need to pray for. Talk to you and @Nancy later

Yes, I'm hesitant also. I have a problem with complete stillness. I always bring a book with me in case I have to wait for something.

11 But one and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing to each one individually as He wills. These are part of the second filling of the Holy Spirit. They are given for the profit of all and manifest inside the church or part of one's office. Like calling on the elders of the...

What I heard was the still small voice. I've been able to hear His voice ever since, and I've learned to wait on that voice, BEFORE I pray in order to pray His perfect will. I've done that since 1977 and have enjoyed 100% answered prayer. Funny, for the 30 years prior to being filled with the...

We talked about this last night. Here are the verses. 1 Corinthians 14: 27 If anyone speaks in a tongue, let there be two or at the most three, each in turn, and let one interpret. 28 But if there is no interpreter, let him keep silent in church, and let him speak to himself and to God.

I understand, but I also know that these things seem to happen when someone is drawing near to God and in a state of continuous praise for a long period of time (like 8-12 hours), emptying their mind of anything else. Probably soaking which I've never done. I'm not sure if these people work or...

Explain further please

That was the baptizing of fire giving them the Holy Spirit. It doesn't represent speaking in tongues, interpretation of tongues, prophecy, healing or any other of the gifts of the Spirit that are given by the Holy Spirit. To only believe is is speaking in tongues is ludicrous. Your...

I see you are speaking for yourself. I've been born again, so I'll believe and live the Word of God that is about born again Christians, 1 John 3:9, and not those who say they have a relationship with God, but who have never repented, so have no power over sin as in 1 John 1:6, 8 and 10.

That's easy. It is the same thing for how a Christian becomes sinless. THE SEED OF THE FATHER. 1 John 3:9 9 Whoever has been born of God does not sin, for His seed remains in him; and he cannot sin, because he has been born of God. Jesus was literally conceived with the seed of God. So, from...

FROM!!!!!

Show me "cloven" tongue in the Bible in relation to speaking in tongues, and not the baptism of fire of the Holy Spirit. I am not, nor ever have been a pre-tribulationalist. Your assumption is wrong. The Mount of Olives sermon was what would be the saving difference in the New Covenant...

Yeah, I once read a book against speaking in tongues by a well-know Cessationist pastor/teacher and he said, "if the gifts were real today, then I would have them." I would say to him, you first have to have the Holy Spirit.

@BGR You've got mail. :)

Yes, and only believers truly understand just how awesome He is!!! I feel sorry for mockers of little faith. I used to be one!

I looked in my 1526 Tyndale translation and that verse is there.

I like Mark 16:17 where the tongues are "NEW". They are not old languages created by God, but unheard of languages that only God knows.

I just use the KNJV and if "no one understands him" was added, then you could have a point, but you don't. 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. No, silly goose, he is about to introduce the...

The languages spoken were not those of those watching, but what those watching heard was everyone speaking their own language. The tongues are new languages created by God, not old languages. The gift of interpretation must accompany the speaking of tongues in a group. That is what let the Jews...
