and @Nancy Hi ladies, :) We all do what comes naturally according to our nature, whether the old nature, or the born again of the Spirit of Christ nature. If by the old nature, then yes you are trying to perform "works" not in accordance with your carnal nature. If by the new nature, it is...

The cage represents slavery. And what we were slaves to was sin. I think the better verses on this would be John 8:34-36, showing that Jesus frees us from SIN, making us free indeed.

Wrong. There are two different manifestations of "speaking in tongues" with different applications. You can't apply the rule of one on to the other. I've answered this in #6. Good day to ya mate! I'm going to bed.

Then they would have been able to understand them naturally, which they didn't, otherwise the mockers would have been able to understand them too. It wasn't until Peter preached to them in their own common language among Jews afterwards, that they heard the gospel. Acts 2:14-39

1 Corinthians 14:2 tells us that your beliefs are wrong. "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. It wasn't the gospel they were speaking in tongues, but praises to God. You have learned the common...

If the disciples were speaking in a language that ONLY God understands, how would the mockers understand it? Are they God? Can you see why that doesn't make sense, or you didn't understand my post.

The Jews present were "devout." They belonged to God and received the supernatural gift of interpretation of tongues. At this point in history, the gospel was only for the Jews, not to Gentiles until Acts 10. The mockers (God hates mockers anyway, Psalms 1:1, calling them ungodly and will...

I'm so sorry, I meant #6. LOL Number #9 doesn't even look like me! Sorry Dave.

Like him, I would like you to read the answer to your question that I already wrote - #6. Hope it helps.

That is blasphemy, and you keep doing it. Where in the Bible does Paul compare false tongues to true tongues? Nowhere if you know what he is saying. But you pretend to know and so does MacArthur. Did you even read my post to you? If you had you may have learned something and gotten out of the...

Satan counterfeits the real, not three dollar bills, and many making the comparison fall into his trap being uninformed.

Another post from the "uninformed."

What has never occurred to you is that 1 Corinthians 14 shows the difference between the SIGN of tongues, and the GIFT of diverse kinds of tongues. Both are called speaking in tongues, but one is appropriate for use in the congregation, and the other isn't, but only for prayer and praise...

Don't you see that the languages cannot be understood WITHOUT the supernatural gift of interpretation of tongues. Verse 2 tells us why? "NO MAN CAN UNDERSTAND THEM," besides the fact that they are not for preaching to man, but speaking to God. Your tone in the OP is a prime example of why in...

Sorry, but you don't know what you are talking about, and neither did MacArthur when he taught it. Your interpretation of Acts 2 flies directing in contradiction to 1 Corinthians 14:2. The devout Jews heard supernaturally what was being said, just as what happens with the gift of interpretation...

Tongues are true when the person has been born again of the Spirit of Christ. IOW been baptized in the Spirit. One key prerequisite is repentance from all sin. Tongues are false when the person has never repented of all sin, and thus has not received the Holy Spirit in the first place. For me I...

Of course, the Old Covenant only ended at His death, not during His life. The New Covenant is a will and testament that only comes into effect at the death of the testator.

Hey friend, Universal atonement can also mean the false doctrine of Universalism - God saves everybody in mankind no matter what you believe or do. There is no hell. But Dave is not talking about that doctrine. The "works" of this universal atonement calls our faith in Christ as a work. Also...

Tell them to email you the directions! ;)

What myth? Daniel 8 being Antiochus Epiphanes IV which is true, or Matthew 24 is just 70 AD which is false?
