Definitely tongues is an empowering gift of God ❤️

[@user-lv3hs6uo2e]

I have prayed and asked for the gift of tongues I understand it is a gift however I have not received the gift I surrender completely to God I was told to read Acts chapter 2 I believe God and his word so I don’t know why I haven’t received the gift would you please pray for me.

[@ilmarmeldre2568]

Don’t be discouraged, I feel you and I have been there! It’s a gift given to you freely, but you need to take it and own it (not by your own human efforts though) through faith. Watch Andrew Wommack’s teaching on the “Holy Spirit baptism”, surround yourself with people that do pray in tongues, prophecy and get filled with the Spirit. Take time and you will receive it!

Praying for a gift of tongues

[@brucesmith8285]

Can someone explain tongues?

[@kavikv.d.hexenholtz3474]

There is absolutely nothing mysterious about Biblical "tongues" - and there is only *one* type - when referring to something spoken, they are nothing more than real, rational language(s); usually, but not always, unknown to those listening to them, but always known by the speaker(s) - it’s their native language (in some cases, it is a language the speaker has learned). _Nowhere_ in the Bible is modern tongues-speech advocated or evidenced. ‘Tongues’ (read, *‘languages’* ) - the divine gift, is the God/Holy Spirit given ability to effortlessly learn to speak and be understood through real-language barriers. It is not xenoglossy (as many people incorrectly assume), nor is it the self-created non-cognitive non-language utterance of what certain Christian denominations are producing today (modern tongues-speech).

[@ilmarmeldre2568]

Well you are definitely ignoring rest of the Bible where in the rest of the Acts they didn’t receive tongues as a whole language or only for the interpretation and as well as Paul said that the one who prays in tongues speaks to God praise in mysterious way. People get confused because of not knowing Scripture and other people either faking or burdening religiously those, who don’t speak in tongues. New Testament talks about variety of different tongues: as a whole language, tongues as a personal prayer language and tongues for the interpretation to release the prophetic and encourage the Body of Christ. You can also trace that peole, who really speak in tongues as a prayer language experience more often healing, deliverance and prophecy, when they pray for people, than the people who don’t speak in tongues or reject it. And that makes sense when Jesus said that people will speak in a new tongues, cast out devils in His name, heal the sick and no poison will harm them.

@@ilmarmeldre2568 This would take a few pages to explain properly; so, for the sake of brevity, I’m considerably simplifying and ‘bottom lining’ the below. At Pentecost, the Holy Spirit did not give the _language_ (i.e., the means/content) of the apostles’ speech, it gave the _manner_ in which it was spoken. The Holy Spirit gave the 12 (yep, 12, not 120, but that’s a story for another day) apostles what in the Greek text is “apophtheggesthai”. It’s usually translated as “to give utterance”. This is, however, not the most accurate translation of this Greek word, but it’s the one that has come to be the more or less ‘de facto’ rendering. This word is from “apophtheggomai” which is best translated as “to give bold, authoritative, inspired speech to”. Don’t go to Strong’s and look it up though - “Strong’s” is a _concordance_ , not a lexicon; there’s a _huge_ difference. Without going into what could be considerable detail, when looking at the “language wherein the attendees were born” there are only two: Aramaic and Greek. The Jews present at Pentecost came from three areas: Judea, the Western Diaspora and the Eastern Diaspora. “All nations under heaven” is an idiomatic expression - Acts II: 9-11 tells us where those visiting were from. The “list of nations”, as it’s called, of Acts 2: 9-11 is simply that - a list of countries, lands and nations that tell us where these people were from; *not* what language(s) they spoke, as most people assume. Further, the idea that the “tongues” of Acts II was xenoglossy also stems from this false assumption. In the entire narrative not *one* language is ever referenced by name - ever wonder why? The miracle of language at Pentecost was making the God of the Jews accessible to all people and moreover, not having to do so in one prescribed language: namely, Hebrew, the sacerdotal language of Judaism. The crowd was expecting to hear Hebrew first followed by translations into Aramaic and Greek as was the tradition and practice of the day; what they got were Aramaic and Greek without Hebrew first. Doing this broke a slew of cultural and religious taboos and was virtually tantamount to heresy which accounts for the crowd’s reaction. The actual gift being emphasized is the fact that the Holy Spirit has empowered the disciples to _prophesy_ and to boldly proclaim the Word of the Lord, and this is exactly what we find in verse 14. Peter “lifted up his voice and _addressed_ them”, but perhaps a better translation would be that he lifted up his voice and _prophesied._ We tend to think of prophecy as a kind of foretelling of future events, but in the Hebrew use, it was more often associated with _speaking forth_ the Word of the Lord. I would argue that, if looking for a gift of the Holy Spirit to assign to Pentecost, it would be more the gift of Prophesy than of Languages. No xenoglossy, no modern tongues-speech, just real, rational language(s). There *was* a language miracle at Pentecost provided by the Holy Spirit, no argument there; just not the one most people assume. 1Cor. 14:2 is perhaps *the* quintessential verse used by many to “evidence” modern tongues-speech in the Bible. The whole passage is talking about real, rational language. Let me use an analogy - If I attend a worship service in “East Haystack”, some remote town in the US out in the middle of nowhere, two things are going to be evident: one; there’s only going to be so many people at that service (i.e. there will be a finite given amount of people there) and two; the chances that anyone speaks anything *but* English is pretty slim to nil. If I start praying aloud in say Lithuanian, there’s no one at that service that’s going to understand a single word I’m saying. Even though I’m speaking a real language, no one _there_ will understand my “tongue”. That does not mean or imply that no one else understands Lithuanian; just no one at _that particular service._ In this sense, therefore, I am speaking _only to God,_ since he understands all languages. To everyone at the service, even though I’m praying in the Spirit (as defined further below), to the people listening to me, I’m still speaking “mysteries” - i.e. even though I’m praying as I ought, no one understands me. An idiomatic expression to say that no one has a clue what I’m saying as no one speaks my language. When one looks at the original Greek, the verb which is usually translated as “understandeth/understands” is actually the verb “to hear” in the sense of understanding what you’re hearing someone say. The verb is *not* “to understand”. That part of the verse is more properly “no one hears [him] with understanding”, i.e. no one listening to him understands what he’s saying. There is _nothing_ in this passage that suggests modern tongues-speech nor is there anything that even _remotely_ suggests that the speaker does not understand what he himself is saying. The Greek bears this out; it is the _listeners_ who do not understand, *not* the speaker - no matter how hard modern tongues-speakers want the speaker to also not understand…….unless the author of the text is a bad grammarian, it just isn’t there. “Praying in the Spirit” does _not_ refer to the words one is saying. Rather, it refers to how one is praying. In the three places it is used (Corinthians, Ephesians, and Jude), there is absolutely zero reference to 'languages' in connection with this phrase. “Praying in the Spirit” should be understood as praying in the power of the Spirit, by the leading of the Spirit, and according to His will. With respect to Mark 16:17 - when people went out to spread the message of Christianity, they encountered peoples, customs, and moreover languages they had hitherto not known even existed. Thus, they would need to speak with “new languages” - they would need to learn them in order to spread the message. The passage refers to nothing more than real, rational languages. If one were to hear someone say, “I’m afraid I don’t speak that tongue”, or “I’m going to start speaking a new tongue in a few months.” I don’t think anyone would assume it was anything else than a real, rational language (though the sentences do sound a bit archaic, but the illustrate the point). The point is, that it’s a new language to the one(s) learning it, not to the people who already speak it. The entire passage is rather moot anyway since it is a later addition to the text (early 2nd century).

⁠@@kavikv.d.hexenholtz3474 ….so you don’t believe in the baptism of the Holy Spirit today, evidenced by the speaking in tongues, whether tongues of earth or heaven. That’s ok. Jesus said this experience will happen to those who believe. However, many do and have, whether they be young or old.

[@kavikv.d.hexenholtz3474]

@@pauljones3456 While baptism in the Holy Spirit certainly exists, the concept of "baptism in the Holy Spirit with the evidence of tongues" is a purely Pentecostal/Charismatic construct. Nowhere in the Bible is this evidenced. The "tongues" spoken by the people in the narratives of Peter and Cornelius and Paul in Ephesus were simply real, rational languages spoken by those people (their native languages) which were not recognized/known by Peter and Paul. It's a long story, but In the Pentecost narrative, the apostles were not speaking any language they didn't already know. The assumption (which is completely incorrect) is that the "list of nations" in vv. 9-11 describe languages - it does not. It is a list of the Diasporan lands only. In the entire narrative not one language is ever referenced by name. The Holy Spirit gave the manner in which the apostles spoke, not the languages used. Take a look at the Greek text and use a lexicon; not Strong's (which is simply a concordance - huge difference).

[@pauljones3456]

@@kavikv.d.hexenholtz3474 how can this be so. The baptism of the Holy Spirit is not a charismatic, or a Baptist, or an evangelical experience. The baptism of the Holy Spirit is a Christian experience. Jesus said these signs will follow those who believe. If you believe you will, if you don’t believe you won’t… Paul encouraged the church to speak in tongues often. He said in 1 Cor 14 that when he speaks in tongues, his spirit is praying, and his soul has no understanding. Why would Paul continue such exercise if it was meaningless, or not beneficial. Paul also said in 2-5 that he who speaks in a tongue, does not speak to men, but he speaks to God. Paul says no one understands him. That means no one. Not even an angel or demon because he is speaking directly to God. If that’s the case, then he cannot be speaking any known language of earth because demons and angels understand earthly languages. Paul also says in 1 Cor. 13, if I speak in the tongues of men and of angels. This would imply that there are languages angels and demons speak, and there are languages men on earth speak. To think, or believe, that angels only speak the languages of earth would imply the angels were not speaking until the earth was created. There is a language of the spiritual realm, and there is a language of the physical realm. When I became Christian, I was filled with the Holy Spirit. I did not know anything about charismatics, or evangelicals, or Baptists etc. I did not join a denomination, I became a child of God. I was filled with the Holy Spirit, and I spoke in tongues with no teaching or understanding of what was taking place. The first person I heard speaking in tongues in my Christian walk was myself and I hadn’t read about it the bible!! Jesus said the Father will give us the Holy Spirit if we ask him. And if we being evil can give good gifts to our children, how much more my heavenly father. If you believe you will, if you don’t believe you won’t…
