@OzSpen 1 Corinthians 14:4 shows us that tongues can happen without edifying the group.

It sounded coherent though. Kind of like a language sounds coherent even if you dont understand it. Yet it didn't sound like a language. It sounded like he was going to come apart almost at the seems as this was happening though. Idk.

@OzSpen I understand. I believe he was edified and then went on to speak a prayer.

Yes, that does seem to be the way of things on the internet. I hope and pray that, in time, the Christian communities on the internet will continue to mello out. Self included. We are warned not to "bite and devour" one another, after all.

Not saying you're wrong but do you have a verse?

Not at all. Let's not be quick to try an attach this one to others. Don't have to tell me twice. I remain skeptical even of the claims made in this thread concerning the phenomenon...

Yeah, I will never believe that tongues is required for salvation...

@amadeus Thank you Mr. Clean :)

Yeah. That's fraudulent. It's something God enables one to do, after all.

I think it's just experiencing an extra dimension of communion that God gives to people. I don't think speaking in tongues is necessarily... necessary. But yeah, my opinion has changed. Sorry to hear that. Hopefully not all of them?

I've been fairly skeptical about tongue speaking for quite some time, as and I can't say that I had honestly encountered it before today. But I do believe what I experienced this morning was real, and I'm exceedingly grateful for it. — I was attending a prayer meeting before service for some...

In another post you admitted that you weren't sinless. Meaning you believe you're back under the Law again, since you were too weak to abide in Christ. However, if sinning accidentally would truly put us out from under Grace consistently, then the Spirit would surely not keep coming back to...

We who are in Christ are no longer under the Law. We're under Grace :) Paul was speaking about outsiders of the faith here.

A great example would be sins of omission. James 4:17

YES, absolutely and emphatically AMEN.

I suppose this makes sense. James 1:2-4 , 1 Peter 1:7 Disagree. I do not believe we go all the way back under the law when we sin mistakenly. This statement paints the picture of Grace/Condemnation again as a revolving door. Inevitably sinning once in a while is not the same as "living...

This is a specific sin though. Not every sin is a sin leading to death. Episkopos' interpretation of John 10:9 is unique. However, after considering it, I've found the idea of going in and out to be flawed. Once we are in Christ, I dont see why Christ would want is to "go out" of Him and then...

Oh, boy, here we go again! All who die without Grace are eternally damned, right? If we have to go back to God for a filling of Grace, it sounds like you are saying we lose that Grace everytime we sin, and forfeit our salvation on a consistent basis. To which I must disagree. However, if you...

True. If we weren't literally covered in the flesh it wouldn't be difficult at all to remain in the Spirit.

Agree. Disagree. Salvation is not a revolving door. Romans 2:4 Or do you think lightly of the riches of His kindness and tolerance and patience, not knowing that the kindness of God leads you to repentance? I uber disagree here, because I'm not sure I can ascribe to your definition of...
