Just keep on giving God the glory, sister!What an ARROGANT statement.
God will give each of us whatever He sees that we need as we simply humble ourselves to Him.
He leads us!
We do not lead Him!

Not at all!ARE YOU ???? LOL..... Enquiring minds want to know!!! HAHA.... Me thinks you are NOT.
Everyone wants to be right. God is the only one who without doubt always is!I actually had to apologize for that one Amadeus... because apparently I was not aware that Paul exhorted all believers to speak in tongues... so... MY BAD.... LOL
By those who have done a linguistic analysis. Glossolalia (modern tongues) is called "free vocalization" and includes "some infant speech and some phenomena outside the Christian religion".

You were right on the first half . but go back to the bible for the second half .Oh, so the words of Scripture are not sufficient proof? When Paul said "Do all speak in tongues?" rhetorically he expected the answer "NO!". In fact, Paul also wrote that tongues would cease, and cease they did. Modern tongues are DEFINITELY NOT specific human languages spoken supernaturally. They have been described as "babblings".
The gift of tongues is clearly shown to be specific human languages in Acts 2. And that same gift is discussed in 1 Corinthians. Also Paul's insistence that there be interpretation when tongues are spoken within a church confirms this. If someone begins to speak Russian in a Chinese assembly, then someone would also have to interpret the Russian in Chinese. Otherwise none would understand and none would be edified.
Not according to Isaiah who prophesied about tongues in 28:11,12 and also explained why they were given: For with stammering lips and another tongue [language] will he speak to this people. To whom he said, This is the rest wherewith ye may cause the weary to rest; and this is the refreshing: yet they would not hear.TONGUES is a heavenly language .
The mormons are wrong , the BIBLE IS RIGHT .Not according to Isaiah who prophesied about tongues in 28:11,12 and also explained why they were given: For with stammering lips and another tongue [language] will he speak to this people. To whom he said, This is the rest wherewith ye may cause the weary to rest; and this is the refreshing: yet they would not hear.
Paul quotes this passage in 1 Corinthians 14:21,22 to teach us that tongues are a sign to UNBELIEVERS, and unbelievers are not addressed in heavenly language!
In the Law [the Tanakh or OT] 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. Wherefore tongues are for a sign, not to them that believe, but to them that believe not: but prophesying serveth not for them that believe not, but for them which believe.
The rest and the refreshing would be from the Gospel message given in many different human languages on the day of Pentecost. Yet when the Jews in Jerusalem heard the Gospel, only 3,000 were saved (although there may have been possibly 30,000 gathered for the feast of Pentecost).
I hear ya my friend . BUT HELLYWOOD aint defending TRUE CHRISTAINITY. TIME to scare the socks off of folks .It has gotten so bad that people feel they have to make movies about it.
God is not dead!
Heaven is real!
It is bad when Hollywood has to stand up for God.
Tongues...that is just par for the course. Wait until you are in a church that the Holy Spirit has a presence so strong that you can nearly see the Holy Spirit and definitely feel it. Then you have healings and divine visitations....
Some of these people I think would fill their pants if something like that happened to them.
Do cessationists pray?
LOL Tongues are from Satan! LOL Say that to my face!
I feel bad for people that have never had a divine event occur in their lives. But do cessationists deserve any.
I hear ya my friend . BUT HELLYWOOD aint defending TRUE CHRISTAINITY. TIME to scare the socks off of folks .
MOST the modern day christain movies that so many love , ARE INFECTED WITH NEW AGE and an agenda to lead us in another direction
to another jesus and another gospel . I Know that stinks my friend . BUT ITS TRUE .
VERY TRUE .

This has nothing to do with the Mormons. Just plain Bible exegesis. If tongues were a heavenly language then no human could interpret them. Since Paul (under God) insisted that there be interpretation it should be clear that these are human languages requiring interpretation.The mormons are wrong , the BIBLE IS RIGHT .
Interpretation of tongues is a gift also. I don't know why God could not gift someone to interpret an heavenly language just the same.This has nothing to do with the Mormons. Just plain Bible exegesis. If tongues were a heavenly language then no human could interpret them. Since Paul (under God) insisted that there be interpretation it should be clear that these are human languages requiring interpretation.

While I have been a tongue talker since 1976 and will not deny it, this thread is overwhelmed with details and arguments which, as I see it, are likely to confuse and driven some people away rather than draw them in closer to God.
I've gone over numerous translations, looked into the manuscripts in the original languages, and have read the writings of those who I know, from first-hand experience, administer the apostolic teaching, with signs and wonders following, and have learned that it does not absolutely say that everyone will get tongues, nor does it absolutely say that most will get tongues. It is ambiguous.This is what I understand.
Much love!
