The Holy Spirit also gives us discernment to know truth from error and to know the difference between the flesh and the Spirit. The Holy Spirit also brings conviction of sin.

Did you know? The Scriptures clearly predicted that the Holy Spirit was only for specific people. Do you have an idea to whom? It was NOT meant for everyone according to the Bible prophecy . People were set part through faith and believing and obeying the gospel of the Kingdom before the NT writings even existed. They were saved that way. No human blood sacrifice needed either. They believed what was written in the Hebrew Bible or commonly known as "the Old Testament" . I mean, when the Messiah was preaching the gospel to the crowds, He used the OT only. See Mark 1:15 and Luke 24:44-46 watch this video and other videos on the channel and Abba will show the path of the truth and righteousness. kzbin.info/www/bejne/eoHCo2uZrqp2ipY

The change began in my life when I made studying scripture a daily discipline. God's Word is what makes the change. When we pray we are speaking, but when you read you are listening to God speak. I've met so many people who crave the need to speak on tongues but their life's are a mess. The fruits of the Spirit are clear as the pastor mentioned. Let's focus on those first before desiring to speak in tongues. Otherwise we are looking for the experience instead of simply believing in God and his sovereignty.

[@monicaindotime8340]

Cesar, You Can Desire Anything But The WORD OF GOD MADE IT PLAIN!! Mark 16:15-18 15 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. 16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. 17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; 18 They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.

[@SupernaturalByDesign]

I completely agree with the two other commenters. I too have experience this and they are right it is a mind blowing experience. It’s to know Christ’s LOVE, which a four dimensional experience. Meaning that time becomes lifted from you. You understand at the core that you are eternal as the the Holy Spirit now takes residence. You feel Him every where you go. Although, I didn’t receive the Holy Spirit as the other two had in the same fashion. I received by totally doing an open heart search for Him. If you search for God, meaning seek everything you can to know that He is true. He then will reveal Himself to you!! You will understand immediately the depth of what Paul is really trying to convey in the whole book of Ephesians. Some scripture can only be interpreted by the Holy Spirit. It’s the solid food Paul refers to. However I can reiterate enough...search, drive 300 miles if you have too. You will find Him!! I leave you with this. God Loves you more than you can imagine! Search for him. You will find Him!! In fact it’s the most common way you can. It’s referenced in the Old Testament like Jeremiah 29 all the way even into the book of Revelation chapter 3. Look at the church of Laodicea. In fact that church period which is now, appears that searching for God is now the only way to find Him because you can’t find Him at church anymore. Except for a few out there. Which are the types the other two commented over. Sorry I know this was long but I’m very passionate that all believers should experience this and I could sense the thirst that your spirit has. I was once there as well. Which is what drove me to search myself!! I love ya and I will be praying for you! May God bless you with His Spirit. A Spirit of revelation and wisdom. Amen 🙏🏽 May God’s Grace cover you sister!

I kept looking for a cure for my illness but it was getting worse. I didn't remember how i came across to Sid Roth It's Supernatural. I pm Sid to pray for me and it hit me when he said I should forgive ppl who offended me. From that day, I started looking for the truth and found it. GOD is AlMighty.

[@woodeducationvlog4389]

When I was in youth group in my church we learn about Jesus and his teaching. Our pastor ask us do we want to receive Christ. I was one of the Youth that said Yes. We had classes on the teaching . Than I was water baptize in the name of the father , Son and Holy Spirit. The later is the Holy spirit that I receive before emerge in the water . There no baptism in the Holy Spirit apart from water baptism. You receive the Holy spirit when you first believe Jesus died for you to take away your sins. The father ,the son ,and Holy Spirit is one who is the Father in heaven.

Plainly speaking in tongues, is just one of the gifts. Not everyone will have that ability, but it is very real, as is prophesy, healing, knowledge, wisdom, etc. !!!!! Very plain in the Bible. I believe too many people put a harness on the spirit and God's power.

[@steadfastunmoveable9751]

Shanna Marie, there is a difference in The gift of tongues and The Initial evidence of speaking in tongues when The Holy Ghost comes in. Everyone that receives The Holy Ghost WILL speak in tongues, that is how you know The Holy Ghost has come in. Every time someone in the book of Acts received The Holy ghost, it was evidenced by The Speaking in that unknown tongue. Jesus said to Nicodemus in St. John 3rd chapter. Nicodemus was not quite understanding how to be reborn again, and He wasn't understanding The Holy Ghost. Jesus gave him an example in chapter 3 and verse 8 He says " The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of The Spirit." you see you cannot see the wind, but you can feel it and hear '"THE SOUND'" of it, so is it when one is born of The Spirit, you cannot see IT , but you can feel it and you can hear "THE SOUND" of IT! for when it comes it utters sounds of the heavenly tongues out of your mouth, and you can feel IT as well because it will cause you to move. as a matter of fact it moved the Apostles as well as the other 108 people in that upper room, it moved them in such a way that the people in Jerusalem thought they were drunk of some kind of new wine! But The gift of tongues that Paul talked about in 1Corinthians 12: 10 is not given to every one. That is one of the nine gifts of The Spirit. yes I agree with you too many people do TRY to put an harness on The Spirit and God's Power. God IS ALL POWERFULL! So much so that there were 120 people in that upper room and He was able to Speak through them all of them at one time, and all those people of different languages that had come to Jerusalem for Pentecost, were all so astonished because They all heard them speak in their own language. So God had literally allowed every man to HEAR those 120 saints in their own tongues even though they were speaking in a heavenly language! Now that was a MIRACLE! Oh what a Mighty God we serve!

[@ExperienceEric]

Paul clearly taught the churches in Corinthians and Ephesians that different people have different gifts, and not everyone has the gift of tounges or any other single gift but love. 1 Cor 12:8-11 7 But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal. 8 For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit; 9 To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit; 10 To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues: 11 But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will.

He said to them "Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed?" and they said, "No, we have not even heard whether there is a Holy Spirit." and he said, "Into what then were you baptized?" and they said, "Into John's baptism." Paul said, "John baptized with the baptism of repentance, telling the people to believe in Him who was coming after him, that is, in Jesus Christ." When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. And when Paul had laid his hands upon them, the Holy Spirit came on them and they began speaking with tongues and prophesying.

Thank you so much on this vidoe . I have been questioning whether I have the holy spirit or not within me. I've watched so many preachers especially on VTN that say you will speak in tongues and heal the sick and all of that if the holy spirit is within you. So i have felt like I'm coming short somehow not doing something right or maybe my faith isnt as strong as I thought maybe there is some doubt that is hidden somewhere that I need to find before the holy spirit can live within me. This has made me feel so much better . Although I do believe that there are ppl today who can speak in tounges , lay hands on ppl and heal the sick in jesus's name . But I feel so much better because this has been weighing on me heavy . Sometimes I would even think maybe I'm not one of Gods children that maybe I would be one of the ones at the gate and jesus tells me he never knew me even tho I really do love our savior with all of my heart . So really thank you so much for posting vidoe now I know I have the holy spirit because my mind has been renewed well it's not perfect but hes still molding me but none of us are perfect so we all need to always continue seek perfection like jesus . I believe it's something u have to always work at always seek god so the enemy cant sneak in and deceive you and we will always learn something if we diligently seek to know god . So I believe you can never study the bible and know every little thing that seems to be hidden until our understanding because greater because god gives greater and deeper understanding to the people who diligently seek to know .

[@Jonathan-mm5zx]

Haha, I hope you mean there is evidence of fruit.

[@jamesadams5281]

They are confusing the fruits of the Spirit and the gifts of the Spirit. This is really common. In Joel 2:28 I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; KJV John 14:17 but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you. KJV Acts 2:4 And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit was giving them utterance. Notice all. Joel 2:28 was fulfilled in Acts 2:16 but this is what was spoken of through the prophet Joel: Acts 2:38-39 Proves that speaking in tongues is for every believer. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. 39 For the promise is for you and your children and for all who are far off, as many as the Lord our God will call to Himself." When God stops calling people to himself then the gift ends. At one point in time the Apostles thought that The Baptism in the Holy Ghost was only for Israel or many would say for Jews only. Many teach today that it was only for a select group of people. And most add way back then to that statement. However Acts 10 Shows it was for everyone. Acts 10:44-48 While Peter was still speaking these words, the Holy Spirit fell upon all those who were listening to the message. 45 All the circumcised believers who came with Peter were amazed, because the gift of the Holy Spirit had been poured out on the Gentiles also. 46 For they were hearing them speaking with tongues and exalting God. Then Peter answered, 47 "Surely no one can refuse the water for these to be baptized who have received the Holy Spirit just as we did, can he?" They knew that they were filled because they heard them speak with tongues. Why because that was the sign God gave on the day of Pentecost. So lets move to 30 years after the day of Pentecost . Acts 19:2 He said to them, "Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed?" And they said to him, "No. They were believer yet without the holy Ghost 30 years after Pentecost. Act 19:5 When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. 6 And when Paul had laid his hands upon them, the Holy Spirit came on them, and they began speaking with tongues and prophesying. It is so clear in the scriptures yet people have an agenda against the way God said it comes. 1 Cor 14:18 I thank God, I speak in tongues more than you all. This scripture shows that the whole Corinthian church spoke in tongues. They all did it but Paul did it more often All of the Apostles churches did because they all had the same doctrine. Ephesians 5:18 be filled with the Spirit was written to a church that spoke in tongues, not to a half covenant people that only take part of the promises of the kingdom of God. So the question may be fairly asked do all speak with tongues? The context of the verse is Do all speak with tongues do all interpret? There is a spiritual gift for the churches edification, which is one of the 9 spiritual gifts because it is tied to interpretation. The gift of the Holy Spirit is different. It does not require interpretation and it is for personal edification. The cases in Acts prove this otherwise every person that spoke would have to have someone with the gift of interpretation. Didn't happen. The benefit of speaking in tongues is: your spirit prays to God for things you don't know how to pray for. You build yourself up in the Holy Ghost. You receive power. It opens the door for the operation of many other gifts of the spirit. My challenge to you is this. Find a church that prays in tongues for an hour before Sunday service begins. Go to the members and ask them if they would ever give up speaking in tongues. Then ask them a simple question. Why? I have seen so many miracles, deaf people hear, those who have legs with one shorter than the other and watched them grow to the same length. In July we went with 260 people to Nicaragua and in 1 week documented 13000 salvation's and so many miracles. I live in Bible days and see the same things they saw back then. There is so much more in Jesus why not receive it?

[@GabeTheStreetPreacher]

Amen. You speak truth. All the Letters or (churches) in the New Testament were filled with the Holy Ghost evident by speaking in new tongues (Mark 16:17). Many make the mistake of confusing the Gift of tongues for edification in the church setting (which not all have) to the baptism of the Holy Spirit (which ALL should have) who truly believe.

James Adams Can you please elaborate on the subject Speaking in tongues ?? What are the differences between Church edification and Personal edification ? Thank you for your comments. Stay blessed.

[@jamesadams5281]

I hope this gives some clarity. If an individual prays in tongues they pray to God. The edify themselves, build themselves up in the Holy Spirit. If the entire church is speaking in tongues then the entire church is edified on an individual basis. One by one. Church edification on a corporate basis comes through the gift of tongues. Instead of being a prayer to God it is a God speaking through someone to the church. So one would stand up while the rest of the church listens. The essence is that it is a prophecy in another language to the congregation. When a tongues like this comes we are instructed in the bible to pray for an interpretation. The tongues language can be human or angelic. Since it is intended to be interpreted. Paul in Scripture says let it be by two or three and if there is not an interpretation then those giving the tongues need to stop. You can't have one person speaking while everyone waits for an hour with no interpretation. The reason it is allowed to happen three times is to give opportunity. The person who hasthe interpretation may not be yielding or fearful of stepping out. God wants us to grow in the gifts. You can't grow if there is no opportunity to practice.

I went to a pentecostal church and many people spoke in tongues. I never have but when I looked upon them I could could tell they were slain in the spirit. These same people were the most kind genuine people you’d ever meet in your life. One Sunday when I wasn’t there a girl started speaking in tongues after prayer request. The preacher told the congregation that they had a problem. The preacher through the gift of discernment knew she was speaking in unholy tongues. She was demonically possessed and apparently had contracted these possessions at a youth camp where they were casting out demons. From what the other people at the church said her voice was deeper then a mans . She was extremely strong and her eyes were different. They spent four hours into the afternoon casting out demons until she was back again. I know this , god is real and Satan is real.

@@Starlow632 . So if you do not speak in tongues you do not have his holy spirit? Christ is my savior and I trust in him. So as I grow in my faith by reading the word which I now understand because before I could not . So what is it in me to cause my mind to renew to turn away from sin and eagerly seek to know God and the word and what is it in me that makes me love God more than anything else on earth and I have children of my own so I didnt think I would be able to love God more than my own children but I do now. Why now do I feel close to my savior why do I feel like I have a personal relationship with him. I thought those things were things the holy spirit does for you . I'm just curious because I always want to have more of God so if you think that I do not have the spirit to me what do I have to do to get it or what not to do what I could be doing wrong . I just thought it just grew stronger within you as you grow in christ and that's why I do not have any of the gifts yet. How were u filled with the holy spirit? Was it all of the sudden as a new child of God when you first came to christ and were reborn.

Amen! There are only nine gifts of the Spirit! There are other gifts but they are not one of the nine spiritual gifts. Service is a gift, but not a spiritual gift. Apostles, prophets and evangelists are gifts, but not a spiritual gifts. They are offices in the church. The problem is that people try to make fruits of the spirit into spiritual gifts, abilities and talents into spiritual gifts when they are not. All of this is done to deny the need for the true gifts God offers the church

[@d.c.4706]

May the Lord bless you immensely for sharing the TRUTH! I grew up in the Pentecostal religion which is overly obsessed with the OUTWARD sign of speaking in tongues. And they go so far as to tell people they “don’t have” the Holy Spirit if they don’t speak in tongues. This is absolute foolishness and a lie from the pit of hell. However, God is faithful. When I got saved He told me to focus my attention on the FRUIT of the Spirit, not the GIFTS of the Spirit. He also allowed me to see that there are countless people operating in spiritual gifts, but their hearts couldn’t be further from Him because their is no fruit of the Spirit. For all of those who dare to label and discourage people who don’t speak in tongues, my question is: What good is “speaking in tongues” if you LIVE like a hellion? I’ve seen some of the most “tongue speaking”, dancing, falling out on the ground folks in church. They put on a 3 ringed circus during Sunday service only to continue living for the devil the rest of the week. Fornication. Drunkenness. Revelry/partying. Gossiping. Cheating on taxes. Lying. Adultery. Oh-but they “speak in tongues” so they definitely have the Holy Spirit... NOT SO! To all of the babes in Christ who may read some of these foolish comments, don’t be discouraged! Seek the Lord! Speaking in tongues is a GIFT and if the Lord wants you to have it, He will give it to you. If not, focus on the fruit of the Spirit. The change in your heart. The change in your speech. The change in your mind. The change in your behavior. Your desire to please God and live right. THIS (and only this) is how you know for sure the Spirit of God lives within you. Be blessed! 🙏🏾❤️

[@druscillabrumfield932]

What then is implied in acts chptr 2 and 4 “ and they were all filled with the Holy Ghost and begin to speak with tongues as the Spirit gave them utterance” and verse 38 states that to be saved you have to receive the gift of the Holy Ghost, and be baptized in the name of Jesus. John 3 and 5 says unless you are born again of the water and of the spirit, you shall not enter into the kingdom of god, that came from the very mouth of JESUS!! When A baby is born, he cries. Therefore, we were born again of the spirit, you cry.This cry is shown through the speaking of tongues.

Oh Daniel, I was looking at the game. But, since you asked me? The book of Acts which is the book of Grace, the beginning of the Great Commission, the beginning of the church, The manifestation of the power of God, the unification of the church the body of believers. In Acts 2:4, talk about the disciples being filled with the spirit giving utterance speaking in others tongue. The whole chapter 2, talk about the coming of the HOLY SPIRIT. Acts 10: 44-46, they heard them speak with tongues, and magnifying GOD. Acts 19: 6 they spoke in tongues and prophesied. Tongues is evidence that GOD Power and SPIRIT or in you. Read John the fourth chapter the 23rd and 24th verse. We must be baptized in the SPIRIT, look at John 3:3-7 verses. Tongues is also a gift that must be received by FAITH, exercise by the Believer's. We must remember to Live by THE WORD OF ALMIGHTY GOD. Paul, talk about prophesied edify the church, but tongues, build up The believers, look at Jude 20-21. Tongues is also for the church, if The ANOINTED OF The SPIRIT, give the interpretation for understanding. The evidence of The SPIRIT that gives the utterance. Daniel, I Love in CHRIST JESUS.

[@kathyhenderson2114]

Rob Wall....Actually the book of Acts is a transition book from a Water baptism to a spiritual baptism.....

[@josephho3099]

It is important that Christians are born again of water and the Spirit. The Indwelling of the Holy Spirit is the essence of being born again. Ephesians 1:13-14King James Version (KJV)13 In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,14 Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory.So the true Christians have the indwelling of the Holy Spirit. The Spirit of Truth and the Spirit of Christ.Acts 2:4King James Version (KJV)4 And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.1. This is one sign of the indwelling of the Holy Spirit.John 10:27King James Version (KJV)27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:John 8:47New International Version (NIV)47 Whoever belongs to God hears what God says. The reason you do not hear is that you do not belong to God.”2. Second sign is that all true Christians can hear the voice of God.Ezekiel 11:19New International Version (NIV)19 I will give them an undivided heart and put a new spirit in them; I will remove from them their heart of stone and give them a heart of flesh. 3. All true Christians will have a transformed lives, they will be change from their old filthy ways of living in sin.Galatians 5:22-23New International Version (NIV)22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. 4. They will produce the fruit of the Spirit. So why worried about just one sign, you need to fulfill all these signs. Not just one but all. 1 John 2:27King James Version (KJV)27 But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.If all true Christians have the Holy Spirit in them and they will all be taught the truth how come they do not agree with the truth? My conclusion is that not all have the Holy Spirit, because the Spirit of Truth simply cannot contradict himself. Most people who think they are born again simply are not, they were only baptized in water and said the sinners prayers yet their spirit is not "born again". Without the presence of the Holy Spirit you cannot enter into the Kingdom of God nor know the truth of God.1 Corinthians 2:14-15King James Version (KJV)14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.15 But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man.That is why some of you thinks that speaking in tongues is gibberish. Because these are spiritual gifts and only those who have the Holy Spirit can understand while those who criticize it they are speaking from their carnal natural mind. These are spiritual things in the spiritual realm that normal people without the Holy Spirit cannot receive. Thus the bible says, Matthew 13:14New International Version (NIV)14 In them is fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah:“‘You will be ever hearing but never understanding; you will be ever seeing but never perceiving.

Each time I had the power go through me like electricity, pure love .I also had Holy Laughter. Second time I was called to teach and minister immediately after . I was also able to hear the Spirit of the Lord’s messages and words prophetically, usually in the early waking hours. I heard “ Feed My Sheep”, then asked for confirmation from the Lord. I then heard “ If you love Me feed My sheep”. Gee Who said that?? I received many other words from the Spirit. I read the Word more now, cant get enough...and I do not want the same relationships, possessions, only want to serve the Lord. My music isn’t the same either, I only listen to Praise and Worship music now and have more peace, don’t care about things of this world anymore really. Only eternity.

Many believers have experienced the presence of the Lord and been filled with the Holy Spirit but to be " born of the Spirit" which is to have the permanent indwelling they must complete the process. What they lack is the baptism of the Holy Spirit. Which is to be filled to overflowing with the Holy Spirit. A believer must pray for the Lord to fill them with the Holy Spirit until He does. Then they must surrender/yield the body's " most unruly member" until He enables them to speak in the spiritual language called " tongues". This will cause the overflowing filling and the permanent indwelling of the Holy Spirit. Now the spiritual rebirth process is complete. I know because it happened for me and millions of others.

[@steadfastunmoveable9751]

papa brad sog, there is a difference in The gift of tongues and The Initial evidence of speaking in tongues when The Holy Ghost comes in. Everyone that receives The Holy Ghost WILL speak in tongues, that is how you know The Holy Ghost has come in. Every time someone in the book of Acts received The Holy ghost, it was evidenced by The Speaking in that unknown tongue. Jesus said to Nicodemus in St. John 3rd chapter. Nicodemus was not quite understanding how to be reborn again, and He wasn't understanding The Holy Ghost. and Jesus gave him an example in chapter 3 and verse 8 He says " The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of The Spirit." you see you cannot see the wind, but you can feel it and hear '"THE SOUND'" of it, so is it when one is born of The Spirit, you cannot see IT , but you can feel it and you can hear "THE SOUND" of IT! for when it comes it utters sounds of the heavenly tongues out of your mouth, and you can feel IT as well because it will cause you to move. as a matter of fact it moved the Apostles as well as the other 108 people in that upper room, it moved them in such a way that the people in Jerusalem thought they were drunk of some kind of new wine! Yes, I do agree with you , if one is falling on the ground like in a seizure, that person has a devil, and its ready to come out. You will see some do this BEFORE, The Holy Ghost enters, because The Spirit of God will not dwell in an unclean temple, meaning your body. The Scripture says , Know ye not that your body is the Temple of The Hoy Ghost! So yes you will see people doing some crazy stuff before The Holy Ghost enters, because the demons got to come out. Remember when Jesus was casting those demons out of that boy, the demons rended that boy then they came out. But The gift of tongues that Paul talked about in 1Corinthians 12: 10 is not given to every one. That is one of the gifts of The Spirit. God IS ALL POWERFULL! So much so that there were 120 people in that upper room and He was able to Speak through them all of them at one time and all those people of different languages that had come to Jerusalem for Pentecost, were all so astonished because They all heard them speak in their own language. So God had literally allowed every man to HEAR those 120 saints in their own tongues even though they were speaking in a heavenly language! Now that was a MIRACLE! Oh what a Mighty God we serve! oh yeah and those first saints were Jews, they spoke Hebrew or Aramaic, The Words you should be looking for a better understanding are those languages, not greek. The greek thought were totally different from the Hebrew thought, my friend. when one knows the Hebrew language you will see many misconceptions disappear> okay. Be Blessed

Steadfast Unmoveable hi. I think you missed the part of Acts where it said all the non-believers thought they were drunk because a handful of gallileans were speaking languages from all over the world - places they had never been to nor languages they had ever learned. Therefore any given person could not tell if the dozen other languages being spoken were real words or just gibberish. Peter corrects them and says in fact that they are not drunk. You will also note, of course, that people there *understood* what was being spoken in their language. This was not one language being spoken that is not understood by man. It was many of the believers speaking in many different languages from around the region. Those from given regions certainly understood those believers that were speaking their language, but didn’t understand the rest of the believers speaking in every other language.

Hi Ryan Johnson. The key verse in that situation was Acts 2:8 "And how hear we EVERY MAN in our own tongue, wherein we were born? " You see the miracle was also in the hearing. They could not of all been speaking in the tongues of the many nations there gathered at Jerusalem. Because it would have been utter confusion. but when these disciples were speaking in tongues, the Arabians understood as if they were speaking Arabic, The Greeks heard greek coming into their ears, the Cyrenians, heard their language. etc. If you walk into a room and there are different nationalities speaking their own tongue, all you would hear is confusion. if someone were speaking English , it would be drowned out by all the other languages that were speaking at the same time. Thus these 120 souls from that upper room were all speaking the one heavenly language , but Yehoshua caused every nation to HEAR their own speech! ISNT THAT JUST AWESOME! hey thanks for replying.

I know you packed a lot into a few minutes, but I found an answer within your explanation. I will read the verses as you quoted and I know I will be well on my way to understanding this question, as I have also wondered about this. Thanks a million.

Though I'm still figuring out where God wants me, I KNOW His touch. NOTHING like it! As a 5 year old, during a small Christian conference (50-60 people), 15-20 people came up to be prayed for, me included even though I didn't want to. Something just pulled me there, and said "It's gonna be good". The people who got prayed for fell backwards. I thought 'yep, I'm outta here!" but again that voice saying "It's gonna be alright.". When I got prayed for, I felt like falling backwards but decided not to. Instead, I went to the back of the room to see what will happen. Worship continues, and before I know it I feel a hand on my head, more intimate and more real than anything else - but I didn't "see" anybody! Then I realized, it was God's hand. Mind blowing, or not, but I felt so at peace, that I fell asleep that minute. When I woke, I thought it was 5 minutes, but it was 2 hours later. No idea what happened in those two hours, but they changed my life! Now I'd like to know what God wants of me. Right now, I'm at this point where not much seems to be happening. Silence in the desert? Anyway, may the Holy Spirit continue to show us the riches of the Father!

I wonder how many signs wonders and miracles is evident in His life? He is pulling up many convincing scriptures that are way too general. He needs to do study of the "infillinging" and as Jesus did " Walking in the Supernatural" power of God. John Baptised in water but their is one comming that will baptised you in the Holy Spirit and fire! This Baptism would fill them, teach them, comfort them. counsel them etc etc.. This is why the disciples were changed so drasticly, enough that they "Rocked the World" they lived in and we as Deciples and Ministers still doing the same to this day!.. Love ,Joy Peace etc are always a must but there is a deeper infilling with evidence of speaking in an unknown tongue. This is a supernatural experience . Ones that have never experienced or have desired or truly hunger after "more of God " will never relate or experience this Beauty of The Holy Spirit on their life. There is a price to pay and some will counterfeit it and are not willing to pay the price. But those serious hungry searching hearts will understand for they who deeply "Hunger" will be touched and receive God's Miraculous presence of His "Holy Spirit" with evidence of "Heavenly Tongues" and do the works He did. A Beautiful Blessing from God awaits YOU!. As you press in and receive this Kiss of God on your Heart and life.....You will see lives changed Healed and set free in Jesus Name!..Just as the Deciples did! .God Bless you!Patricia Braund "Divine Appointment" on u tube.

Part 1 of 3 - In the Pentecostal/Charismatic tradition, I believe the sequence goes something like this: being “saved” equates to being “Baptized in the Spirit”, and being baptized in the Spirit itself is initially ‘evidenced’ (though not always immediately) by a phenomenon called “speaking in tongues”. The ‘model’ for this seems to be based upon the Pentecost narrative found in Acts. A comparison of the narrative to the modern tradition seems to result in some obvious discrepancies which begs the question of whether the ‘model’ appears to be followed merrily in the spirit of the narrative rather than in strict adherence to it. If we examine the Pentecost narrative, the baptism of the Holy Spirit occurred such that the experience consisted of three distinct ‘components’, so to speak: a strong wind followed by tongues of fire. After these two ‘components’ occurred, the apostles may be said to have been filled with the Holy Spirit. Almost immediately after that, we see the final ‘component’: they began “speaking in other tongues”. Further, I do not believe that there is any doubt that what was spoken was real, rational language. If the Pentecostal narrative is the ‘model’ for the modern experience, it seems reasonable to suggest that when people get “baptized in the Spirit” today, that all three elements/components referenced in the narrative (including the results with respect to “tongues”) should also occur to have a true “Baptism in the Holy Spirit”; i.e. it’s an all or nothing situation. Yet, the only necessary component seems to be the ‘evidence’ of “speaking in tongues” (and said “tongues” are never a real rational language). Why are the other two criteria/components discarded and not required to also occur? This seeming discrepancy however, appears to be easily reconciled. One may point to other Bible passages where these first two elements obviously never occurred and people were still said to be baptized in the Holy Spirit and then “spoke in tongues”. This mirrors the current practice today. But, conversely, one may also point to Bible passages where people were said to be baptized in the Holy Spirit yet there was absolutely zero mention of “tongues”, or much of anything else for that matter. Even at the original event itself, there were around 3,000 people who were converted. If these 3,000 were 'baptized in the Spirit', one would think that, according to Pentecostal/Charismatic belief, they should have started “speaking in tongues”. Yet nothing of the sort is recorded. Certainly 3,000+ people “speaking in tongues" would at least merit a sentence or two in the narrative (?). Further, “baptism of the Holy Spirit” is mentioned in the New Testament epistles only one time; in 1 Cor. 12:13. It is described in the past tense and ‘evidence of tongues’ is not mentioned at all. How is this reconciled with the modern understanding/concept? How does one reconcile something like John 20:22 where people received the Holy Spirit by Christ himself…yet we see zero mention of tongues, or Paul’s statement that not everyone will speak in tongues? To suggest “speaking in tongues” as initial evidence of being baptized in the Holy Spirit, doesn’t seem to stand up to documented (scriptural) examples as “tongues” are definitely not evidenced ‘across the board’. So, which is it - it seems that for every example of people being baptized in the Spirit with initial evidence of “tongues”, there are people being baptized in the Spirit with absolutely zero evidence of “tongues”. Replace archaic “tongues” with the more modern “languages” and the whole phrase “baptism in the Spirit with initial evidence of language” doesn’t seem to make much sense. The bottom line seems to be that the concept of “evidence of tongues” in conjunction with baptism in the Holy Spirit does not seem to be a very consistent one. Indeed, such ‘evidence’, or lack thereof, suggests that “tongues” are in fact not at all what Pentecostal/Charismatic Christians believe them to be.

Tanya Maione Corinthians 1:13

[@KISStheSON...]

Tanya Maione Hello! 1 Corinthians 13:8 “Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall CEASE; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away. 1 Corinthians 14:22 “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.” Signs were for the Jews. The early chapters of Acts were to and about the Jews preaching the Kingdom Gospel. Apostle Paul was BORN in 2 AD It was 33 years later that Paul was confronted by Jesus on the road to Damascus and given the responsibility to preach the Gospel of Grace t the Gentiles. Paul is WELL educated and Speaks in many different languages/tongues! 1 Corinthians 14:26 How is it then, brethren? when ye come together, every one of you hath a psalm, hath a doctrine, hath a tongue, hath a revelation, hath an interpretation. Let all things be done unto EDIFYING. 27 If any man speak in an unknown tongue (unknown to the native/foreign audience), let it be by two, or at the most by three, and that by course; and let one interpret. 28 But if there be no interpreter, let him keep silence in the church; and let him speak to himself, and to God. (in his own language, because his language is unknown to the audience) (it would be like me edifying to a church in English to a French audience...if there wasn't an interpreter there I should keep quiet, because NOBODY understands me!) 37 If any man think himself to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him acknowledge that the things that I write unto you are the commandments of the Lord. 38 But if any man be ignorant, let him be ignorant. 39 Wherefore, brethren, covet to prophesy, and forbid not to speak with tongues. 40 Let all things be done decently and in order. Is a church filled with people speaking in UNKNOWN tongues edifying and orderly?

I believe this guy is onto it. I know, personally, people who are obviously spirit led, but don't manifest in tongues, being slain in the spirit, etc. Also, there are days when I feel my emotions are under much better control than others. He mentions "quenching" the Holy Spirit. If I have pulled some shenanigan that makes me regretful, I feel more distant from the Spirit. Regret, knowledge of one's mistakes and repentance are also from the Spirit because those are things that allow us to learn and return to peace and joy.

Receiving the Holy Ghost is evidence of speaking in tongues as the spirit gives utterance. You will feel joy, peace, love, kindness, patience, self control, longsuffering, gentleness. The tongues can manifest when singing, under spiritual attack, praying, casting out demons etc.

[@kstrickland1420]

I am filled with the spirit, I speak in tongues and have control over it, I've been slain in the spirit more than 20 time probably, I've had spiritual laughter. And I'm not mentally ill, demon possessed, or making this up. The power of Hod works within me and I wouldn't trade it for anything. Most people who preach against this just haven't had these encounters themselves with God so they think it's false. Wrong. Pray that you get revelation on this and watch God move!

I have to comment how GRATEFUL I am to hear what you just said, God brought me this video for a very specific reason. I just left my alpha course in tears after my experience was pretty much invalidated by others trying to validate their own beliefs........what you just said restored the faith I lost by trying to speak my truth and experneice of god about an obvious dead minded church goer and a very competitive new curate...... I had no faith until a very profound supernatural experneice and the reverand of this church has mentored me SO beautifully but these two just made me feel like I was almost lying, I have to remind them what I spoke of was in the effing Bible......thank you SO much for giving me the confidence to continue trusting my faith and my god and my gifts......they are very real and I just think people are intimidated by how much they have changed my entire life.....like I'm lying or something it's actually a joke, but I know and god knows and these people don't know like I know.....yet! 💖🤗✝️🌏
