Arguments against gifts of the Holy Spirit are with God and His word. Ask Him beyond doctrines.
Speaking in church in tongues and having it interpreted is only a part of its usage. Primarily it is for building up of the believer.
No, it is not. 1 Corinthians 12:7 says that the gifts are for the profit of the assembly, not individual believer. No exception.
1 Corinthians 12:7 But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal.
And the gift of tongues nor any other gift is gained by receiving what christians assume was the Holy Spirit apart from salvation when all believers are to share this testimony of being baptized by that one drink of the One Spirit and no more.
1 Corinthians 12:13 For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit.
To declare that tongues can be used individually without the body is in effect, running against Paul's words here below.
1 Corinthians 12:19 And if they were all one member, where were the body? 20 But now are they many members, yet but one body.
21 And the eye cannot say unto the hand, I have no need of thee: nor again the head to the feet, I have no need of you.
So basically, those who use tongues for private use are telling non-tongue speakers that they have no need of any one else, including other tongue speakers. You all claim you can get your own edification , prayer time for the Holy Spirit, praise, giving of thanks, & etc, by tongues without interpretation and yet there is no way you can prove to yourselves what that tongue is doing. Now that is confusion which God is not the author of.
1 Corinthians 14:32 And the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets.33 For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.
This is nothing new, even the Apostle Paul in the very day of the times of Pentecost had to admonish;
1 Corinthians 14:38-39 KJVS
But if any man be ignorant, let him be ignorant.
[39] Wherefore, brethren, covet to prophesy, and forbid not to speak with tongues.
You are taking that scripture out of context when Paul was talking about the Lord's commandment for women not to speak at all in church.
As to the naysayers
Jude 1:19-20 KJVS
These be they who separate themselves, sensual, having not the Spirit. [20] But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost,
Your misuse of that verse is telling all other non tongue speaking believers that without tongues, they cannot pray in the Holy Ghost.
The Holy Spirit is in all believers as promised so whenever any one prays, they are praying in the Holy Ghost.
It is wayward believers asking for the Holy Spirit to come fall on them again and again and again after sensational signs are the ones giving the appearance of praying OUT of the Holy Ghost as well as departing from faith that Jesus Christ is in them every time they do that. That is a false witness.
Gamaliel had it right though not a believer;
Acts 5:38-39 KJVS
And now I say unto you, Refrain from these men, and let them alone: for if this counsel or this work be of men, it will come to nought: [39] But if it be of God, ye cannot overthrow it; lest haply ye be found even to fight against God.
Scripture is not leaving believers using tongues privately alone as gained by a receiving of a spirit apart from salvation, but God is using scripture in exposing that kind of supernatural tongue as not of God. God's gift of tongues are only for speaking unto the people as it is of other men's lips for that purpose.
1 Corinthians 14:20 Brethren, be not children in understanding: howbeit in malice be ye children, but in understanding be men. 21 In the law it is written, With men of other tongues and other lips will I speak unto this people; and yet for all that will they not hear me, saith the Lord.
To switch it around for private use without even interpretation is a confusion that all tongue speakers of this fashion are ignoring the reality of that kind tongue.
John 16:13 in all Bible versions testify the truth that the Holy Spirit cannot speak nor utter His own intercessions and so He cannot use God's gift of tongues by switching it around for that purpose. That means believers has the supernatural tongue as found in the world as gibberish for why it is not coming with interpretation as it is received by another spirit which was apart from salvation for why the apostle John said not to believe every spirit but test them ( 1 John 4:1,4 ) unless believers start speaking as the world speaks in supernatural tongue which is vain and profane babbling ( 1 John 4:5-6 ).
You need to shun that tongue and stick to the written word of God for your edification.
2 Timothy 2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. 16 But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness.
His words overthrows your kind of tongue and especially how you gained it by another spirit apart from salvation. Assuming that was the Holy Spirit does not make that spirit so.[/QUOTE][/QUOTE]
