You sound like my mother's pastor who who was born in Germany, then his family went to Brazil so he knew three languages. He said that was speaking in tongues. 1 Corinthians 14:2 is the rule you cannot contradict.

Acts 2:3 And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them.4 And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance. 5 And there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men, out of every...

You: "Because God sent them speaking to them in their own languages- actual languages, why? To lead them to repentance. " Everything you believe about tongues is wrong and you try to teach error, saying its purpose was "to lead them to repentance" and that the tongues, themselves were the...

Verse 23 contradicts your reasoning and most likely the commentary you are studying instead of the Word of God. Those is 23 didn't repent as you claim. They ran for their lives! So, the "sign" of tongues is not a positive sign, but a negative sign. Actually to believers it is positive, but to...

You'd be right about my first 30 years of going to church. My testimony tells of what I had to do to stop having the desire to sin. If you want to go to heaven stop having itching ears and choosing the doctrines of demons. Demons don't care if you believe in Jesus, as long as you keep sinning...

You're kidding yourself. 1 John 3:Whoever sins has neither seen Him nor known Him. You won't be able to stop sinning on your own with your old nature intact. First that old nature must be nailed to the cross. Read Romans 6:6-7. If you want to know how to become actually born again and filled...

I don't read commentaries for answers. I understand what Scripture is saying by the Spirit. And the gift of tongues in 1 Cor. 12 IS an office. That is why those who have it must look to see if the person with the office of interpreter is there; otherwise, they must keep silent. But the sign of...

That is possibly true as there are few that find it. We must be born again to understand the Scriptures. 1 Corinthians 2:9-16

God gave each devout Jew the supernatural ability to HEAR their own language. Read it again and you can see that that is what it plainly says. Tongues are not understood by any man. 1 Corinthians 14:2. That also is plainly stated, even without adding "unknown". Carnal human reasoning says otherwise.

Why, seeing as the Holy Spirit had not even been given yet. He did in Mark 16, and there was no interpretation.

No, It means there are no words that can rightly express. 26 And in the same way—by our faith—the Holy Spirit helps us with our daily problems and in our praying. For we don’t even know what we should pray for nor how to pray as we should, but the Holy Spirit prays for us with such feeling that...

Look at Mark 16:16-18. These tongues are TO God. There is no interpretation noted. That is our prayer language. These gifts are for us individually. But there are higher gifts for ministry and the profit of all listed in 1 Corinthians 12. The tongues in that list must be accompanied with...

I used to be just like you and was a Cessationist. I'm sure glad I experienced the baptism of the Holy Spirit. You don't know what you are missing. There is so much more. And if you are still a lifelong sinner, you better confess your sin and believe that Jesus will cleanse you of all...

Hi Barny, I haven't been online in a while - computer problems. You've already heard my thoughts on the substance of the New Covenant Sabbath being Jesus and His own commandments being written on our hearts, but wasn't part of what was on stone 1 John 3:23-24, so I won't bother to repeat all...

It is part of the New Covenant. Are you in another covenant? I'm in the New Covenant of the Bible and have been given most of the gifts of the Spirit. They are for this covenant until we see Him face to face. Have you been baptized? Mark 16:16-18 tells us that those who believe and have been...

Interpre Interpretation of tongues is the last in the list and is equal to prophecy. It is also an office in the church given by Jesus. You are comparing rubies to diamonds - both precious gems.

We have the "divine nature" of Christ. 2 Peter 1:2-4 I've shown you this before, GG, but you want to deny it. When are you going to believe? We are to become like Christ. 1 Peter 1:15-16 Romans 8:9 The Spirit of Christ; 1 Corinthians 2:16 (context 9-16) we have the mind of Christ. Read the...

I am filled with the Spirit and have the gift of being able to hear and understand God's voice. I've asked Him to teach me the meaning of His words in Scripture as there can be only one true meaning, and I want to know what that one meaning is. So just as he is confident his interpretation is...

Prove I'm wrong with scripture, not just your opinion which means zilch. That is just meanness.

and @Cassandra 1 John 1:8 is about a person that is self-righteous and believes they don't sin so don't need to confess their sins. They don't need Jesus. The next verse shows that the only way they can be cleansed on ALL UNRIGHTEOUSNESS is to confess. Repent. That is how to become a Christian...
