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...

You have never heard of the supernatural gift of INTERPRETATION OF TONGUES? 4 There are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. 5 There are differences of ministries, but the same Lord. 6 And there are diversities of activities, but it is the same God who works all in all. 7 But the...

Revelation 12: 7 And war broke out in heaven: Michael and his angels fought with the dragon; and the dragon and his angels fought, 8 but they did not prevail, nor was a place found for them in heaven any longer. 9 So the great dragon was cast out, that serpent of old, called the Devil and Satan...

Yes, I've seen Seventh-day Adventists turn Saturday into an idol. So much so that they believe that "Sunday laws" will be the mark of the beast.

That only happens when we have to defend the gifts of the Holy Spirit, and the one that is a sign to the unbeliever, confirming them in their unbelief, is tongues. It is the only gift you all believe is "of the devil." That is blasphemy against God. Tongues is not an idol. But those who use it...

Of course they were speaking in tongues. That is without question. But the miracle for the devout Jews listening was supernatural hearing was given to each of them to hear their own language. 8 And how is it that we hear, each in our own language in which we were born? 9 Parthians and Medes and...

God's reason? For what? That His gift of tongues speaks blasphemy? You are not making sense. God's gifts in the New Covenant have not ceased. NOTHING inside a covenant changes during the period of the covenant. It didn't in the Old Covenant (not a "jot or a tittle") and will not during our...

Hi Paul, If you remember my book, I explained what is happening, and it was the only thing that scripturally could be happening in both of those cases. It is the same thing that happened in my church in Arizona. People were praying in tongues around this girl they had brought to church, but...

This passage is talking about offices. As far as the tongues and interpretation here, it is talking about those with the gifts of diverse kinds of tongues (for messages FROM God to the congregation given to a very few), and interpretation of tongues (interpreting the message FROM God also given...

I'll have to point you to verse 18. If we are led by the Spirit, we are not under what??? And what caused Paul to write this book? Something about Judaizers telling the Galatians that to be a true Christian they had to also obey what??? I love Romans 8, but verse 7 is just showing us what verse...
