Hey, you cessationists, God says you have the right to express your opinion, and that spiritual gifts, or even being right, are not the most important things! I wonder what is?

Perfectly put Rita. Neither do i speak in tongues and have been told i was not saved because i didn't. Doesn't Paul say "Do all speak in tongue's" No, they do not and even so, the way it's done in many church's today is NOT biblical as, their are no interpreters.
Agreed Rita, it is a gift among others that God gives, and only when the Spirit wills. 1 CORINTHIANS 12:11

John calvin was actually the first to say that the apostolic gifts ended already. The man was a brilliant theologian. But heres some other great reading on it.

If you want me, I'll be under my bed! Using my prayer language! Lol
Dr. Carl Peterson, of O.R.U. in Tulsa, Ok. is a brain specialist and was doing research on the relationship between the brain and praying or speaking in tongues. Some amazing things were discovered!
Through research and testing, Dr. Peterson found that as we pray in the Spirit (our heavenly language) there is activity that begins in our brain. As we engage in our heavenly language, the brain releases two chemical secretions that are directed into our immune systems giving a 35 to 40 percent boost in the immune system.
This promotes healing within our bodies. Amazingly, this secretion is triggered from a part of the brain that has no other apparent activity in humans and we don't use it. It is only activated by our Spirit-led prayer and worship! - Howard Ellis

It's all good with me.... LOL.... I'll be working on forgiveness because someone ATE my cookie.
and that's the point I think... speaking in tongues is NOT prayer language.... That is a separate thing from the biblical speaking in tongues.
Is that not the mis-understanding?? or am I wrong??
... and this is not even talking about whether the gifts are active today.... Leave it to someone to add that layer.... LOL
"And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people." Ephesians 6:18
LOL.... I guess it's important that you had to post it twice... Maybe you think I am going blind... .It's those big new glasses of mine... I know... LOL
Ok... so I don't know much about this subject... and I really don't care to know ( to be honest )... but... it is my understanding that the tongues of the bible is the ability to speak and people of other tribes and languages can HEAR you in THEIR language?? Am I saying this properly??
The other... is prayer language.... ( the thing you are doing UNDER your bed... LOL )... Amadeus has this gift also and uses it daily...
These are NOT the same thing.

As I lay on the floor of the motel room, I saw a tongue-shaped flame of fire suddenly appear above me. It quickly swerved back and forth in front of me a few times and then it flew directly into my chest! As I felt filled with power, my body started to shake!
I felt something gush up within my belly, like a geyser, until it burst out of my mouth. I was finally speaking in "tongues!" Praise God!

I do not understand this... LOL But I believe it is true because you have said it.
I think, such as us, the children of God have and share a heavenly language. I’d call it the LOTSLAG.
That is why, even while we have not met each other in person, we understand each other without need of an interpreter. That is because we are family and citizens of heaven.Tong

The phrase, "heavenly language" is not used in scripture to describe the gift of tongues. The interpretation of tongues is a gift.
"to another miraculous powers, to another prophecy, to another distinguishing between spirits, to another speaking in different kinds of tongues, and to still another the interpretation of tongues." 1 Corinthians 12:10

That’s right. Sorry about that. I was not really referring to that as tongues. So, sorry if that post seems to not really be about the topic. I don’t why I got myself making that post. It was just spontaneous as I read @Addy ’s post. Please just ignore it.
