Is Speaking In Tongues Biblical?

I used to speak in tongues and I had convinced myself that I was speaking in tongues by the power of the Spirit. But in reality it was all a bunch of nonsense. The "tongues" seen in todays churches are very much similar to the story of the emperors cloths. Because only the wise could see the clothes, nobody wanted to say that they could not see them. It took a simple child to point it all out. In the same way "only the spiritual" speak in tongues and it takes a simple childlike faith to point out that it's all complete nonsense.

[@kristy3380]

I was raised in charismatic churches my whole childhood, and one thing that they always drilled into me was that if you didnt show the sign of speaking in tounges then you didnt have the Holy Spirit and were not saved. Another thing they always emphasized was a private prayer language so that the devil wouldn't be able to understand what you were praying. Neither of those teachings ever sat right with me. When I became an adult and started studying on my own I came to reject almost all of the teaching I had sat under my whole life. All that time, i was scared that i wasn't saved, or that I didn't have the Holy Spirit. Now I'm free of all the fear, because I have the truth. God bless

[@jerrypotter4137]

kristy3380; well you didn't get the truth from THIS guy. He believes that you can lose your salvation. He's a lying fraud. He does NOT know what tongues were about. I'm happy to hear that you got out of that stuff. Your fear came from liars. This is what they tell you, to trap you into their ideas of religion AND NOT GOD. I've taught for 36 years with the original languages and can answer any questions you may have. Tongues do not exist. Paul says that they would CEASE and they did.....2000 years ago. These people twist scripture unto their own destruction. Paul clearly says that "NOT ALL SPEAK IN TONGUES". Therefore how can anyone say that you have to speak in tongues to show that you have received the spirit? TOTAL HERESY. I can teach you how to protect yourself from false teachers and teachings. Let me know if there is anything I can help you with. Peace

Satan has deceived many Christians by making them to doubt the gift of tongues. And this man that is speaking is speaking of his own belief and not recognizing the word in the spirit. He reads the word in the natural of man's belief and not recognizing the word in the spiritual. Satan knows the power in the gift of tongues.

I was caught up in the charismatic church before. Then I stopped believing what the person behind the pulpit was saying and started investigating God's word for myself.

Me too, but what we learned was because the Spirit of God is working within us and e then must learn how to share this teaching with others. I found teaching the scripture in context lovingly to my leaders and others in the church has awakened them to leave Pentecostalism for a more biblical view and it has been by God's grace a miracle. His Spirit of truth goes before us preparing all men for his glory :)

Yes exactly. Every single sermon is taken out of context. They will build entire sermons around one little passage, taken out of context. What really kills me is when someone writes an entire book around one passage that was taken out of context. Like the one about God having a brighter future for ALL of us. That passage was specifically for a group of Hebrews. Not meant for every living soul on the planet today. But yet millions by into it every week when their pastor decides to present that as the sermon. Or if they buy the book, you know the one. I’m not saying God doesn’t want a bright future for all of us but the thing is it’s about reaping what you sow. And that passage was not directed toward modern man.

GOD is not the author of confusion. He wouldn’t go against His own Word that He spoke through His disciples. Why do I say this? “And it came to pass, that, while Apollos was at Corinth, Paul having passed through the upper coasts came to Ephesus: and finding certain disciples, he said unto them, Have ye received the Holy Ghost since ye believed? And they said unto him, We have not so much as heard whether there be any Holy Ghost. And he said unto them, Unto what then were ye baptized? And they said, Unto John's baptism. Then said Paul, John verily baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying unto the people, that they should believe on him which should come after him, that is, on Christ Jesus. 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 Ghost came on them; and they spake with tongues, and prophesied. And all the men were about twelve.” ‭‭Acts‬ ‭19‬:‭1‬-‭7‬ ‭ This person in this video, yes they spoke gibberish. ButPaul nor the ones he witnessed to here did. Paul also said this, “For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God: for no man understandeth him; howbeit in the spirit he speaketh mysteries.” ‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭14‬:‭2‬ ‭ It is also written, “While Peter yet spake these words, the Holy Ghost fell on all them which heard the word. And they of the circumcision which believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because that on the Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the Holy Ghost. For they heard them speak with tongues…” ‭‭Acts‬ ‭10‬:‭44‬-‭46‬

I speak these words by the instructions of The MOST HIGH GOD. This letter is addressed to three groups of people on these replies. PLEASE hear what YEHOSHUA HAMASHIACH/JESUS CHRIST/ THE LORD GOD is saying about this matter . THE LORD GOD said, Caleb the maker of this video, is an HERETIC and all that are in agreement with him! THE LORD GOD says to those who have not been Born Again. HE said in John 3:3 except a man be BORN AGAIN of water and of The Spirit, he can NOT ‘ see ‘ The Kingdom of GOD . Now that word ( see) in Hebrew is (ראה) and it means to perceive, to understand. Therefore no one can Truly understand What was written to The Saints , Without being BORN AGAIN The LORD GOD SAYS HE has given you directions to follow and until you Repent and get BORN AGAIN of water in His Name, Yehoshua HaMashiach/Jesus and receive the infilling of His Spirit, The Holy Ghost , evidenced by speaking in tongues, you will NOT be able to UNDERSTAND! Those are the WORDS of Yehoshua HaMashiach/JESUS CHRIST/ THE LORD GOD The LORD GOD says be not hearers of His Words only, but be DOERS of what HE is saying. HE says as He said to Nicodemus, HE says to you MARVEL NOT THAT I SAID TO YOU THAT YOU MUST BE BORN AGAIN! He says satan is deceiving you , if you continue on your path, you will NOT be able to enter into THE KINGDOM OF GOD! To The BORN AGAIN according to Acts 2:38 and John 3:5. THE LORD GOD says what HE said to HIS first disciples as it is written in Matthew 10: 14-16 And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words, when ye depart out of that house or city, shake off the dust of your feet. Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgment, than for that city. Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves. THUS THE LORD GOD says as it is written : “Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.” Matthew 7:6 THE LORD GOD says LEAVE THIS PAGE Fellow heirs of The Kingdom of GOD! Go forth and CONTINUE To Preach The Gospel of The Kingdom for the time is at hand! MY sheep hear MY Voice, and I know them, and they follow ME: and I give unto them eternal LIFE; and they shall NEVER perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of MY Hand.

Just because a Pastor said if you never spoke in tongues, that is evidence of the Holy Spirit? Ridiculous!!! I know hard core Pentacostals believe that and they are wrong, Period. If people are praying in unison and happen to be praying in tongues and not for bringing attention to themselves or praying in their prayer closet alone in tongues and to the Lord, why throw darts? I pray alone in private in tongues and I am not hurting anyone and I believe my Spirit knows the dialect of Angels and I feel a closeness to the Lord. In today's world, it is wise to question any clergy because Paul said to test the Spirits. There are lots of wolves in sheep's clothing and deceivers but not all Pentecostal people are deceivers but I will admit I test these Spirits more than others but you never know which church building will be either deceiving people or feeding them....

Praise the Lord for your searching of the scriptures. I do disagree with some of your points and an thankful that you taught from scripture tongues is for some and not for all (1 Cor 12:7-11). I do think you tried to explain away points that are clear (Jude 20 - praying in the Holy Spirit) but appreciate your thoughtfulness. I believe tongues is both other earthly, human languages (Acts) and speaking in the tongues of men and angels (1 Cor 13). I will continue to pray in tongues (which I do silently) as the Spirit gives utterance. I do believe that we should pray without ceasing (1 Thes 5:17) as is instructed in the Word and this is an acceptable way to do so. I believe it strengthens me for evangelism and the preaching of the Gospel as that is my calling. Keep up the good work and keep renewing your mind with scripture (Rom 12:1-2).

My mother grew up Catholic, then Baptist, then nondenominational- no teachings on tongues. One night she was praying, anguished and broken over me, her very lost daughter. And in that moment, God gifted her and she started praying in tongues. And here I am, saved and being sanctified. I agree with most points you made regarding scripture, except 1 Corinthians 14:2. It seems you're trying very hard to explain away what seems plainly written. *For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God: for no man understandeth him; howbeit in the spirit he speaketh mysteries.* I speak in tongues, never publicly. It just comes out sometimes when I'm praying. Not uncontrolled, because I can stop it. It's good, because sometimes I just cant find the words. David Wilkerson believed in tongues. And if ever there was a modern preacher beyond reproach, he'd be one of them. But yes, there is also a counterfeit. And it brings shame to the church. I've struggled with it and prayed and asked God if it wasn't from him, to take it away. But it still comes out in my prayer time.

[@shawnhiltibidal]

I have watched a lot of your videos and normally I agree with much of what you say. I don’t here however. I am 55 years old. I was saved when I was 8 and baptized in the Holy Ghost at age 11. From the time between ages 8-11, I did not speak or pray in tongues one single time. I was in a prayer meeting in my parent’s home. My dad had been Baptist. He didn’t even believe in tongues, but the Lord filled him. My mom was Methodist. At age 21 in her bedroom, she asked God to fill her with the spirit and she started speaking in tongues. When my dad laid hands on me and prayed for me to receive, just like Paul did in Acts, I immediately started speaking in tongues. I think you are confusing two different things brother. I’ve seen as many as 40-50 people get baptized in the Holy Ghost all at once and start speaking in tongues . I’ve seen little kids who know nothing about spiritual things fall out under the power of God and get up from the floor speaking in tongues. There is a saying that a man with an experience is never at the mercy of a man with only an argument. I do know this as well. I’ve been in churches that did not believe or teach about the baptism of the Holy Ghost and speaking in tongues or praying tongues, and they were completely void of the power of God. They were dead, no joy, no testimonies of healing, no testimonies in miraculous deliverance from drugs, alcohol, or anything of the like. Then I’ve been in the churches where they do teach, speaking in tongues, praying in tongues, etc. and there are too many testimonies of miraculous healings, deliverances, etc. to discount what is obviously the truth. I think you have missed it here my friend. Once again, agree with much of what I hear you say. But not here.

I think he got in the enemies trap, because when you in daubt and Focus on certain aspekts you're blind fir obvious! In Mark 16:17 we read: they will speak in or with new tongues, not known tongues! All believers! That Paul preached in tongues that came over him in to proclaim the gospel in nonsense because everywere he went people could anderstand him, because the world language at that time was greek!

Paul literally said forbid NOT to speak in tongues. Most who preach against tongues preach against it period. Jude even tells us to build ourselves up in faith by praying in the Holy Ghost. Most don't understand or will they admit that there is the believer's personal prayer language and also the public gift of tongues. Two different things. Paul even said to covet to prophesy.

[@duderu4real94]

Speaking in Tongues Now days It’s quite normal for people to speak in another language, which is why it came as a surprise in Acts 2:6-8, they heard unlearned foreigners speaking their own language. Acts 2:6-8 [6] And when this sound occurred, the multitude came together, and were confused, because everyone heard them speak in his own language. [7] Then they were all amazed and marveled, saying to one another, “Look, are not all these who speak Galileans? [8] “And how is it that we hear, each in our own language in which we were born? This confirms what Paul says to the Corinthians when he says. . . 1 Corinthians 14:21-22 [21] In the law it is written: “With men of other tongues and other lips I will speak to this people; And yet, for all that, they will not hear Me,” says the Lord. [22] Therefore tongues are for a sign, not to those who believe but to unbelievers; but prophesying is not for unbelievers but for those who believe. Speaking in tongues is a gift from God but not many people realise there are two types of tongues. One is a sign that comes when you believe in Christ, the other is gift that not everyone will receive. Jesus said in Mark 16:17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; The tongues that Jesus was talking about in Mark 16:17 are the ones mentioned in 1 Corinthians 14:2 For he who speaks in a tongue does not speak to men but to God, for no one understands him; however, in the spirit he speaks mysteries. Also in . . 1 Corinthians 14:14 For if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prays, but my understanding is unfruitful. Jude 20 But you, beloved, building yourselves up on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit, Earlier I mentioned there was a second kind of tongue. These are the tongues most people are more likely to see as a miracle when spoken in front of someone you know. 1 Corinthians 12:28 And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of tongues. The tongues spoken of above are the ones mentioned in Acts 2:4 And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance. . . Acts 2:6-8 And when this sound occurred, the multitude came together, and were confused, because everyone heard them speak in his own language. Then they were all amazed and marveled, saying to one another, “Look, are not all these who speak Galileans? “And how is it that we hear, each in our own language in which we were born? Although, not every believer will speaks in these tongues as mentioned in 1 Corinthians 12:30 Do all have gifts of healings? Do all speak with tongues? Do all interpret? Both these scriptures in Mark and Corinthians are confirmed in 1 Corinthians 13:1 where it says, Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels. . . As I mentioned in Mark 16:17 that speaking in a new tongue was a sign to those who believe. If you don’t believe you can speak in a new tongue or do not have a desire for this, it will not manifest. As for the tongues of Angels mentioned in 1 Corinthians 13:1, if you don’t believe are able to speak in this tongue. Mark 16:17 calls it a new tongue. But let’s look at what Paul says. 1 Corinthians 14:5 I wish you all spoke with tongues, but even more that you prophesied; for he who prophesies is greater than he who speaks with tongues, unless indeed he interprets, that the church may receive edification. First of all Paul wishes that we all spoke in tongues, why is this? Because they are speaking in Gods language and know understands him. 1 Corinthians 14:2 unless there is an interpretation as 1 Corinthians 14:5 However prophesies are spoken in a human language so everyone would benefit from it. But remember, speaking tongues and having an interpreter makes it just as important as prophesies because everyone can understand.

I appreciate and agree with most of your videos.

And you shall be My witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” and also Luke 24:49, "And look, I am sending the promise of My Father upon you. But wait in the city of Jerusalem until you are clothed with power from on high.” Pentecost was not about receiving tongues, but receiving the power of God. Moving along you site Acts 2:4 to be a earthly language based on the people hearing them, but let's look at verses 5 and 6, "Now dwelling in Jerusalem were Jews, devout men, from every nation under heaven. When this sound occurred, the crowd came together and were confounded, because each man heard them speaking in his own language." There were 120 in that room when the Holy Spirit baptized them, there are more than 120 nations in the known world at that time. In fact in the book of Esther alone, just Persia had 127 nations under it and needed scribes to write the kings commands in their languages. Therefore it must be a miracle of hearing as well as speaking, however, speaking in tongues never was the initial physical evidence of the Baptism of the Holy Spirit. In verse 2 we have the sound of a rushing mighty wind. In verse 3 we have "tongues as of fire, being distributed and resting on each of them," and in verse 4 they are all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues AS THE SPIRIT ENABLED THEM. While all this is true, something else happened, something Jesus said would happen in Luke 24:49 and Acts 1:8, they received power from on high to witness. This can be clearly seen in the sermon that Peter gave (Acts 2:14-40). No longer was he spouting off at the mouth like he usually did, or denying he knew Jesus, but this Peter stood boldly proclaiming the Gospel of Jesus Christ even to the point of saying in verse 36, “Therefore, let all the house of Israel assuredly know that God has made this Jesus, whom you have crucified, both Lord and Christ.” Since when do you tell those you are preaching to that they killed their own Messiah, but the Holy Spirit was at work in Peter and 3000 turned their lives over to Jesus that day. I believe the Gift of Tongues with the Gift of Interpretation is equivalent to the Gift of Prophecy, and I believe praying in tongues, while not necessary, is something open to every believer. Whether you do or do not speak in tongues has little, if anything, to do with salvation. Getting close to the Giver of gifts will always be of more value than seeking any gift.

[@Halakah7]

100% correct... If there were only ONE door that the devil could keep you from entering, it would be the door of praying in tongues. Quote: "He hates it second only to salvation and wants to make sure you never go through it" (Dave Roberson) If you begin to study all those 'generals' that God raised up and worked through in the past you will begin to see a very interesting trend ... John G. Lake, Smith Wigglesworth, etc. etc.,.... they ALL prayed in supernatural languages

[@rockandsandapologetics7254]

@@Halakah7 Thank you for the compliment, but I believe God is looking for people filled with His power, whether they speak in tongues or not. Let me put it another way, if you seek tongues, you probably will get tongues, but if you seek the Giver of gifts you may get tongues, prophecy, gifts of healing, gift of faith, word of knowledge, word of wisdom and whatever else He deems necessary for the Body at that time. Think Baskin Robbins. They have 38 flavors. Are you going to settle for one flavor or have a taste at them al? That's what God is asking you. Do you want one flavor, or be able to taste all the other flavors?

Many are getting the tongues that comes when one first receives the Holy Ghost in Acts , with the gift of tongues in Corinthians. The gift of the Holy Ghost is not the gift of tongues. Everybody can receive the gift of the Holy Ghost speaking in tongues as the spirit gives the utterance. Acts 2:4, 10:44-48, 19:1-6. They ALL SPOKE IN TONGUES. Just because everybody doesn't receive it right away, doesn't mean they can't have it or it's not for all believers. You have to OBEY! Acts 5:32. It's for all believers. Acts 2:39. For all who gladly accept and get baptized. Acts 2:41-42. 1 Corinthians was WRITTEN TO THE CHURCH, those who already obeyed Acts 2:38 and were in the church already. Look to see who the letter was written to. Do you have to always speak in a language known to man? 1 Corinthians 14:2. Paul is talking about the GIFTS OF TONGUES ALONG WITH ALL THE OTHER GIFTS listed. Notice the gift of the HOLY GHOST IS NOT MENTIONED with all the other gifts, because it's for all believers. Speaking in tongues when one receives the Holy Ghost is one thing, and after, receiving the gift of tongues is another. Everybody doesn't receive the gift of tongues. In other words, to interpret tongues or God using them in church to speak, etc. There are a lot of false tongues out there for sure. When the real one comes, you know because it's as the spirit gives the utterance, not man.

The insistence of some brethren today that the gifts vanished once the book of Revelation was penned is therefore historically untenable and unsustainable.

[@FreeinChristForever]

That doesn’t even make sense. Paul needs to speak the language of heaven more than anyone else? The Bible says, “And these signs shall follow them that believe; … they shall speak with new tongues;” ‭‭Mark‬ ‭16‬:‭17‬ ‭ “Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.” ‭‭Acts‬ ‭2‬:‭38‬ ‭ “While Peter yet spake these words, the Holy Ghost fell on all them which heard the word. And they of the circumcision which believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because that on the Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the Holy Ghost. For they heard them speak with tongues..” ‭‭Acts‬ ‭10‬:‭44‬-‭46‬ ‭ “And it came to pass, that, while Apollos was at Corinth, Paul having passed through the upper coasts came to Ephesus: and finding certain disciples, he said unto them, Have ye received the Holy Ghost since ye believed? And they said unto him, We have not so much as heard whether there be any Holy Ghost. And he said unto them, Unto what then were ye baptized? And they said, Unto John's baptism. Then said Paul, John verily baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying unto the people, that they should believe on him which should come after him, that is, on Christ Jesus. 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 Ghost came on them; and they spake with tongues, and prophesied. And all the men were about twelve.” ‭‭Acts‬ ‭19‬:‭1‬-‭7‬ ‭ When you stand before the Most High what this person said isn’t going to be a factor in where you go. All that’s going to be a factor is that you heard the gospel and if you accepted it and obeyed or rejected it. Only YOU get to decide where you go and where you spend eternity. Life after we leave really is a choose your own adventure. You ever read one of those books? Make the wrong choice and the person winds up dying? That was a representation of this world and what will happen after we die. The choices you make now will be what will decide where YOU spend eternity. It won’t matter what this person said or how “convincing,” they were because YOU have a Bible and can read it for yourself.

I learn a lot from this channel, thank you.

And what about the many people who actually pray in tongues? Shall we just dismiss that? Perhaps it's a bit harsh to reflect on tongues as being 'a bunch of nonsense' 😅 Nonetheless, I think we have all seen when prayer in tongues is taken too far in churches and becomes more show than edification.

[@duderu4real94]

Speaking in Tongues Now days It’s quite normal for people to speak in another language, which is why it came as a surprise in Acts 2:6-8, they heard unlearned foreigners speaking their own language. Acts 2:6-8 [6] And when this sound occurred, the multitude came together, and were confused, because everyone heard them speak in his own language. [7] Then they were all amazed and marveled, saying to one another, “Look, are not all these who speak Galileans? [8] “And how is it that we hear, each in our own language in which we were born? This confirms what Paul says to the Corinthians when he says. . . 1 Corinthians 14:21-22 [21] In the law it is written: “With men of other tongues and other lips I will speak to this people; And yet, for all that, they will not hear Me,” says the Lord. [22] Therefore tongues are for a sign, not to those who believe but to unbelievers; but prophesying is not for unbelievers but for those who believe. Speaking in tongues is a gift from God but not many people realise there are two types of tongues. One is a sign that comes when you believe in Christ, the other is gift that not everyone will receive. Jesus said in Mark 16:17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; The tongues that Jesus was talking about in Mark 16:17 are the ones mentioned in 1 Corinthians 14:2 For he who speaks in a tongue does not speak to men but to God, for no one understands him; however, in the spirit he speaks mysteries. Also in . . 1 Corinthians 14:14 For if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prays, but my understanding is unfruitful. Jude 20 But you, beloved, building yourselves up on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit, Earlier I mentioned there was a second kind of tongue. These are the tongues most people are more likely to see as a miracle when spoken in front of someone you know. 1 Corinthians 12:28 And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of tongues. The tongues spoken of above are the ones mentioned in Acts 2:4 And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance. . . Acts 2:6-8 And when this sound occurred, the multitude came together, and were confused, because everyone heard them speak in his own language. Then they were all amazed and marveled, saying to one another, “Look, are not all these who speak Galileans? “And how is it that we hear, each in our own language in which we were born? Although, not every believer will speaks in these tongues as mentioned in 1 Corinthians 12:30 Do all have gifts of healings? Do all speak with tongues? Do all interpret? Both these scriptures in Mark and Corinthians are confirmed in 1 Corinthians 13:1 where it says, Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels. . . As I mentioned in Mark 16:17 that speaking in a new tongue was a sign to those who believe. If you don’t believe you can speak in a new tongue or do not have a desire for this, it will not manifest. As for the tongues of Angels mentioned in 1 Corinthians 13:1, if you don’t believe are able to speak in this tongue. Mark 16:17 calls it a new tongue. But let’s look at what Paul says. 1 Corinthians 14:5 I wish you all spoke with tongues, but even more that you prophesied; for he who prophesies is greater than he who speaks with tongues, unless indeed he interprets, that the church may receive edification. First of all Paul wishes that we all spoke in tongues, why is this? Because they are speaking in Gods language and know understands him. 1 Corinthians 14:2 unless there is an interpretation as 1 Corinthians 14:5 However prophesies are spoken in a human language so everyone would benefit from it. But remember, speaking tongues and having an interpreter makes it just as important as prophesies because everyone can understand.

[@crossclarity423]

Most Christians start at Acts 2 when they recite the accounts of Pentecost. I think this is a mistake. I believe we need to start in Acts 1 to correctly setup what took place on the day of Pentecost. The subject of the pronouns (they and them) used in Acts 2 refer to Matthais and the eleven apostles in Act 1. Then they prayed, “Lord, you know everyone’s heart. Show us which of these two you have chosen to take over this apostolic ministry, which Judas left to go where he belongs.” Then they cast lots, and the lot fell to Matthias; so he was added to the eleven apostles. Acts 1:24-26 In other words, on the day of Pentecost, Matthias and the eleven apostles were all in one place. They were the ones empowered to speak in other languages. This was a sign to unbelieving Jews. The apostles were the specific men that Jesus chose to be eyewitness of His death and resurrection. Most of the disciples did not qualify for this apostolic position. Also, according to scripture, it was necessary to pick one disciple to replace Judas, not two or three. Just one. Then Peter stood up with the Eleven, raised his voice and addressed the crowd: “Fellow Jews and all of you who live in Jerusalem, let me explain this to you; listen carefully to what I say. Acts 2:14 When the people heard this, they were cut to the heart and said to Peter and the other apostles, “Brothers, what shall we do?” Acts 2:37 If you start reading at Acts 1:1 to the end of Act 2, you should easily see that this account was all about God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit ministering through the apostles, not the approximately 120 disciples. Why is this biblical truth important? Because it contradicts the notion that all Christian disciples are suppose to, and should be expected to speak in tongues.

Being filled with the Holy Sprit is different from receiving the Holy Sprit when getting saved. However they sometimes occur simultaneously. 4. Speaking in tongues is praying to God from one’s sprit bypassing the understanding. 4. It is of no benefit to an assembly unless recognised by an unbeliever or the speaker or someone else interpretes what was said. 5. The gifts of the Spirit are mainly to function in an assembly for the benefit of others and not specifically for the vessel God’s using. 6.

@@duderu4real94 Good review, thanks. What I don't understand and have never been able to get a straight answer to is that it seems to me that when it talks of speaking of tongues it just means that you're speaking in another, already existing language. Where I get lost is when people start babbling and them try to tell me they're speaking some special tongue that no one can understand. I can get behind the former, as the Holy Spirit can certain (and has) given the gift of other languages to disciples. The latter though, entirely mystifies me, and I don't see any scriptural basis for it. Whenever I ask someone about it, its like they can't distinguish between the two, and they act like I'm denying Acts 2:6-8, which I'm not.

The Greek word for men used was anthrōpos which simply means Human. And the Greek for angel is aggelos which means messenger/angel Also the Greek word for tongues is glossa which means languages. So Paul was saying though he speaks the language of humans and angels. So we have clear evidence that there are two types of tongues. Now in all the churches I have visited I have mainly heard the language of angels, why because Mark 16:17 says and these signs shall follow those who believe. . .

It is testable, it is ONLY for unbelievers. Tongues means language or dialect in the Greek, it never meant some gibberish. Gibberish is never able to be tested! Gibberish tongues doesn't even have a language structure and its consistency is exactly the same as every other cult and pagan religion that practices it. All it sounds like is chanting, repeating the same sounds over and over again just like pagans do. But just like pagans you and all the other tongue speakers cant even speak a real dialect. All you are able to speak is an untestable bunch of nutty sounds.

[@SignsFromHeaven]

Brother, there IS a valid experience of speaking with tongues that is born from the Holy Spirit and flows from within your spirit. John 7:38 "He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water." I suggest you seek the Baptism of the Holy Spirit and until then cease from talking about things that you don't know or understand. The way you twisted EVERY verse on the subject makes me think that you are not really sincere. I get the feeling I am watching a CIA disinformation presentation - just like the flat earth videos. If you are indeed sincere, you are denying yourself access to a very powerful tool, and discouraging unlearned Christians from using the only tool that allows them to pray the will of God perfectly. Just take a look at some of the comments from others on his site to see how tongues played an important role in praying the perfect prayer for a situation.

[@iThinkBiblically]

I don't generally go by peoples experience because I believe the Word of God is sufficient for all Christian doctrine and teaching. If you can show me, from the Word of God, that angelic tongues are a gift of the Holy Spirit then I will listen. Until then my conscience is bound by the Word of God.

I never realized how they twist the Scriptures so much! I was deceived! I prayed in "tongues" a lot and and gave people " a word of the Lord". I have repented and God has graciously forgiven me. I do believe in the gifts of the Spirit just not how it is happening in NAR churches. I myself was miraculously healed of multiple sclerosis. God is still working! I have unconsciously started speaking in tongues while praying, but have immediately stopped because of the Holy Spirit's conviction. I do not speak in tongues now.

[@JerryPotter.]

@truthalonegirl: You have a lot to learn. It's great that you got out of that type of church, but you haven't gotten their teachings out of your mind yet. Paul said that tongues would CEASE and they did; 2000 years ago. NO ONE has spoken in tongues, especially women. Read Mark 16:20. God's word was confirmed by the apostles through the signs they had. God's word is THE BIBLE. It is finished. There is no such thing as "a word of the Lord". Just in case someone tells you that they have one, you need to show them Mark 16:20. God can not violate his own word. He can not be giving new revelation and adding to his word. Every word that God spoke is in the bible. Therefore anyone believing that the SIGN gifts still exist, is mocking God and calling him a liar. They commit heresy. The bible never says that you can "pray in tongues". You were simply told this and in order for you to be accepted by others, you tried to do it. They will pay for what they did to you. I've been teaching for 37 years and I use the original languages to help people like you. God is not a denomination and neither am I. Again I'm glad to know that you are out of that style of church, but you have got to learn to defend yourself with the bible through knowledge. The SIGN gifts are NOT the gifts for the church. They are different. Paul said that tongues were for a SIGN. Therefore all the gifts in Mark 16:17-20 are SIGN gifts that confirmed God's message through the apostles. The apostles are dead. Therefore there are no more sign gifts. Very simple. But your old false teachers could not even see this. Everything they told you was a lie against scripture. Now you need to learn the truth to protect yourself as well as grow in the grace and Knowledge of our Lord, Rightly dividing the word of God. I hope you take advantage of this opportunity to study as you have never studied before. Happy Reading.

I've been answering these things for 37 years. That doesn't mean that I'm going to give everyone, every answer there is when someone comes along. There IS NO phenomena about tongues. They ceased 2000 years ago. The resurrection of tongues is a complete fake, and exposes them all for liars. I'm sorry you think that giving answers, even on KZbin, is useless. God doesn't think so.

The UNbelievers are NOT the common unbeliever. Hebrews 2:3-4 says differently. VERSE 4 proves you wrong about gifts for the Apostles. A "SIGN" is nothing in and of itself. A SIGN points to something else. AND YOU MISSED IT. The bible says, TO TO, TO, the unbeliever. It is not FOR them. It points them out. You can try to be a walking dictionary all you wish but you make no connections or proper applications. I know my Greek and you failed. Tongues came from the OLD testament. The church did not exist. Therefore tongues were NOT for the church. Paul quotes from the Old testament. Therefore the unbelievers came from there. So ask yourself, What were they NOT believing? The unbelievers STILL existed in the time of Paul. I'm done with you. These things are spiritually discerned and you missed it all. I told you. I don't give anybody the entire answer. God never "Considered " tongues fulfilled. Here is your LACK of Greek comes in. Tongues CEASED and you missed the event that caused it. 1cor 13:8-12 are all in the MIDDLE VOICE in Greek.

[@holyghostfire238]

What you say directly contradicts what Paul said. He clearly said that tongues, unless interpreted, only edifies the individual because the person speakers NOT unto men, but unto God. Paul does not say that to edify one’s self is useless , but rather goes on to say that he spoke in tongues more than them all. Would you call what Paul did useless? and he also says NOT to forbid speaking in tongues.( I Corinthians 14:39) I Corinthians 14:2-4 (2)he that speaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God: for no man understandeth him; howbeit in the spirit he speaketh mysteries. 3 But he that prophesieth speaketh unto men to edification, and exhortation, and comfort. 4 He that speaketh in an unknown tongue edifieth himself; but he that prophesieth edifieth the church. Also, saying that it is “gibberish” is kind of arrogant. How do you know it’s not a language? There are over 6000 languages in the world , over 1500 of which are spoken by less than 1000 people. If you heard these languages, would you recognize them as “real languages” ? Probably not. Also who’s to say that only “earthly languages” are real? I’m pretty sure angels don’t communicate with each other in English, Spanish or French. And I don’t think the official language of heaven is Greek or Latin. The Bible clearly says there is an unknown mysterious language that we speak only to GOD. So who are any of us to call that gibberish?

You’re hung up on tongues not being an angelic language and it’s clouding how you are looking at all the scriptures dealing with tongues. First of all, why would you assume that prophecies and tongues and knowledge have ceased? The text clearly says, “Will cease,” not “Has already ceased.” Whether or not you are speaking a tongue of angels or of men doesn’t matter. No where in any of these scriptures does it say that tongues have ceased. Secondly, what makes you interpret the verse about praying in tongues verses praying with your understanding the way you do? Paul is clearly *contrasting* the two, not combining them. I think you are doing exactly what you don’t want to do, brother, putting your own interpretation into scripture instead of letting it speak to you. I’m not slamming you, because it’s easy for all of us to do. But I really think that’s what you’re doing. It clearly says praying and it compares praying with his understanding and without his understanding and that he calls “in the Spirit.” Thirdly, where does it say anywhere in scripture that when people speak in tongues, they are preaching the gospel? I’m not aware of any scripture that says that. Not one. That’s just a big assumption that scripture does not even hint at. If you’re thinking that’s what happened at Pentecost in Jerusalem, just go back and read the text again. It says the people from the outer provinces hears the men of Galilee telling of the wonders of God, but then Peter got up and preached the gospel in the language that they all had in common. No one preached the gospel in tongues on the day of Pentecost, at least it wasn’t recorded as such. Lastly, you can’t interpret Jude to mean anything other than tongues when you go back and look at what Paul said. He said when you speak in tongues to God, you edify yourself verses someone prophesying edifies others *because they understand”. He also said that praying in the Spirit was praying without the understanding. These two concepts are clearly combined when Jude says that praying “in the spirit” builds you up in your faith (edifies you).

Well, what you don't understand, you can't explain. I speak in tongues, and it is the tongue of angels and not gebirish or whatever you call it. Scriptures are interpreted by another, not just one Scripture. When I speak in tongues, I am edified, and God is glorified, and I hear God speak back to me about the interpretation. Tongues of angels are not languages of men. That you dont understand it and not speaking it doesn't mean people that experience it are wrong. You spoke about speaking and not praying. Is praying not involved in speaking. Speaking is involved praying. Mean while yes not all may speak but some will speak.

If this gift is nothing more than just a way to preach to those in another language, why would this gift need another gift to interpret it? As for it passing away when Jesus comes back so do all of the gifts including prophecy, interpretation of tongues, knowledge, wisdom.. etc. I'm certainly not implying that it is the tongues of Angels, but simply a spiritual gift, like Healing, or Faith, or Prophecy.

Why would you not want to emulate the Apostle Paul or build yourself up spiritually in this unique way?

It says tongues is to build up our faith, it’s a sign to the unbeliever, and it glorifies God. It’s a way of bypassing our mind and praying directly to God with our spirit.

Next time you need to check the old Testament first because it is the foundation for speaking in tongues, but today I will only clear the verses you misinterpreted so as not to mislead believers. Acts 2 (KJV) ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ ⁴ And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance. ⁵ And there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men, out of every nation under heaven. ⁶ Now when this was noised abroad, the multitude came together, and were confounded, because that every man heard them speak in his own language. There are very strong points you ignored here. 1. men out of every nation under the earth. This wasn't written only to polish the event, it means what it says. All national languages on earth were presented on the day of Pentecost. We know from scriptures there were 120 disciples on that day, now if everyone spoke a known earthly language, wouldn't that be chaos? For example Peter spoke Germany, James French, Jacob Mongolia, Andrew Chinese etc, would there be understanding? Also how many nations were there under the earth? Was it only 120 nations? 2. Every man had them speak in his own language - this solve the problem. Careful reading (meditating) shows that every man HEARD THEM, not every man had someone among them speak his own language, EACH MAN HEARD THEM ALL speak his language. That's what scriptures say, not guess work! Now it's time to ask ourselves, what language did they actually speak, a language that could be clearly understood by all dialects? That must be a heavenly language, the language that heavenly beings use to communicate with humanity regardless of nationality or tribe. This is the utterance given by the Holy Spirit, NOT EARTHLY LANGUAGES. This was done to fulfill these prophecies: Zephaniah 3: 9 "For then I will restore to the peoples a pure language, That they all may call on the name of the Lord, To serve Him with one accord. They were all in ONE ACCORD, then they all received A PURE LANGUAGE. The second prophecy: Psalms 19: 2 Day unto day utters speech, And night unto night reveals knowledge. 3 There is no speech nor language Where their voice is not heard. 4 Their line has gone out through all the earth, And their words to the end of the world. In them He has set a tabernacle for the sun, That's what happened, their sound went forth through the earth because there were men from every nation under heaven. May I insist, before making your videos make sure you MEDITATE on scriptures, forget about your theological schools, invite the Holy Spirit to guide you into whole truth. I will write more tomorrow, including the Old Testament view on tongues if you wish. This is only a preamble. Amen I'm writing a full article clearing every confusion raised in this video.

I was raised in a cessationist church. I believed that people that spoke in tongues were mentally ill. This is how I believed until I was 23 yrs old. At 23 I went to a nondenominational Bible study. When we started on the spiritual gifts as related in 1 Corinthians. I was pretty resistant to the whole idea of gifts in the church after the passing of the apostles. One morning as I was doing dishes while alone, I was praying and thinking on the things I had heard and read on the past week. As I prayed all of a sudden a language I had never heard or spoken. Now I cannot say whether or not this is a language that is spoken here on earth, I don't know all languages spoken on earth. All I do know that this language has stayed with me for the past 50 years. I know there are many persons over the years who have berated the spiritual gifts. I have let it go in one ear and out the other for I know what I know. I don't think its necessary for salvation but it is not a vehicle for damnation either.

I consider that most tongue speakers sincerely believe that their tongue-speaking is inspired of the Holy Spirit. However is that really the case? In 1 Corintians 14:37, under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, Paul states that the things he is writing are commandments of the Lord. So the Lord commands us to not speak in tongues in the assembly unless an interpretation is given. That command is clear. Unfortunately, this is not what we observe in most churches with tongue-speaking members. If the Spirit commands against tongue-speaking without interpretation, then these tongues cannot be inspired by the same Spirit. So most probably this is a purely carnal phenomenon.

Agreed that tongues aren't a salvation issue. However, a word of caution, be careful what you attribute to the Holy Spirit. I grew up in a Charismatic church & it was clear early on that what was spoken was gibberish. If one believes tongues are still active today, that's fine, but when you take obvious gibberish & attribute it to the Holy Spirit you are in dangerous territory. I would recommend anyone who speaks in tongues to become a missionary & go somewhere where the Bible is unavailable, I can think of no better way to utilize the gift.

By the Grace of God, I am a Pastor and a Bible teacher now, practicing Pentecostal doctrines, based on the Holy Bible. I speak with God in other tongues when needed; the other tongues God gifted me with. Ofcourse, not, just five or six words repeated..but real languages.

I counseled 2 people not to worry about tongues, but just seek more of God. Shortly afterwards each one also received a private prayer language.

I counseled him to read John 18, 19, and 20 and visually follow Jesus from His arrest in the Garden to His death on the cross and finally His resurrection. When I saw this inmate later (about a week later) he said it worked, only he was saying this phrase in another language and wanted to know what that was all about.

Amen. I'm praying/speaking in tongues when I'm closest to the Lord. Paul spoke about it in 1 Cor. 14 concerning "In the church". That infers that there's a tongue "In the home", "In the car", etc. I think where we fail is keeping tongues to a one hour a week gathering. It needs to be taken into our private time. That's where it's exercised and utilized most. Paul did say it's for edification for others and ourselves. If we are the church, then you can't separate yourself from tongues at all, if you can do it. Jesus said in John 4 & 7 He'd give us living water, that would come from within us, and John said Jesus was referring to the Holy Spirit. Ironically 1 cor saying "gifts" was not in the original language, that's why it's in italics. To speak in tongues is to be spiritual. Not of mental ascent/origins. God is spirit, so a spiritual language shouldn't surprise us. And God is big on speaking, so tongues makes sense. "Call", "Ask", "Speak", "Tell"...

Quote: "It wasn't until six months ago when I was reliving this as I do every day, that I realized that after those first two words in English to get my attention the rest was in a Heavenly language. That night that I realized He was not talking to me in English all that time, I got on my knees and I said 'Jesus reveal to me quickly, why did you talk to me in a Heavenly language'. He said, 'My son, do you not realize that all languages on earth are the result of the curse? I would prefer not to talk to you in a language that has been cursed. I would prefer to talk to my children in a Heavenly language about which there can be no question of it's interpretation. Because anything said in the Heavenly language is all truth.' Now I know what the Heavenly language is all about. It isn't just something to play games with or something to say my denomination has it and yours doesn't. It's when He wants to communicate two way radio in a language, the words of which are uncontroversial. And when He says this and that and yea and nay in the Heavenly language, it doesn't mean maybe or perhaps." (This interview was televised on CBN in 1979 BTW.)

[@jerrypotter4137]

@@rossdaboss1959 everything you said was biblically INCORRECT. Tongues do not even exist. Paul said they would cease and they did. ALL tongues had to have Apostolic Authority. That's why the sign gift of tongues was given to the apostles in Mark 16:17-20. Paul says tongues are for a sign. That means all of the gifts in Mark 16 are sign gifts and has nothing to do with the church. They confirmed the word of God that was spoken by the apostles to prove they were from God and not false teachers. That WORD OF GOD has been confirmed. It's the bible. The apostles are dead which means there are no more sign gifts. The bible is finished which means you can not add to it. Now: you have no time concept. Acts/Pentecost was in 27 A.D. The letter to the church at Corinth was over 20 years later. The application of tongues was the same in both cases. Tongues can NEVER be the evidence of receiving the Spirit. That is heresy. That's why Paul said, "not all speak in tongues, do they?" The simple obvious answer is NO. The spirit giving utterance is because the speaker does not know the language. It had to be done by the spirit, just like interpretation. It had to come from God so that the listener could hear it in his own language. Women were never allowed to speak in tongues because it usurps the authority of the man. Therefore that eliminates the 120 in the upper room because women were there. You are not matching scripture with scripture. Women NEVER WROTE scripture and they never confirmed anything from God by means of signs. The ones who spoke in tongues were the apostles only. Keep it in context. Also church has nothing to do with tongues. It was the same inside or out because the church began on Pentecost but NO ONE knew it, until it was shown to Paul alone, 16 years later. Your concept of time is really throwing you off. You speak as if everything happened at once. In the Greek language, the Aorist tense of the verbs used when getting a gift, is at the same moment you get the holy spirit. You get the Spirit at the moment of conversion. It's the Spirit himself. Then AT the SAME moment, HE gives you a gift to use for the church's benefit. You don't know what it is until much time goes by to figure out what it is. You have to grow in maturity to find out what it is, and then how to use it properly. No gift was known at the time of salvation. So Paul never spoke in tongues using the gift and he did not speak in tongues when he was converted. Paul already spoke in three languages. That's why he said he spoke in Languages more than they. Tongue were always languages. The thief on the cross never spoke in tongues but Jesus said, "this day you will be with me". He died along with him. Not one word of tongues was EVER recorded in scripture. That means it is NOT part of the gospel. Now you need to know what Paul meant when he explained what tongues were, In 1 corinth 14: 21-22 Paul quotes IN THE LAW from the old testament. This is where tongues originated and he tells you what it was for and to whom it was for, and Why. Paul quotes from Isaiah 28:11-12. and explains what "tongues" were. Until you understand that the purpose of tongues NEVER changed from old to new testament, you will never understand what tongues WERE; not are. They CEASED just like Paul said they would. The fact that the bible is finished proves the sign gifts are finished. This also includes two particular gifts. They are: #1. THE WORD OF KNOWLEDGE. #2 THE WORD OF PROPHECY. The word used, for "Word" is LOGOS in Greek which specifically means the Godly message. It does not mean putting words together to form a sentence. Those two gifts were for delivering God's message. Again: it has been delivered. It's the bible. No more sign gifts and no more delivering of God's message to people. That's why the Greek in Hebrews 1:1-2 says the last of THESE days. It's the days in which God was speaking to us by his son, Jesus. The day in which Jesus was finished giving John the book of revelation, was the day, God's word was complete. But tongues did not exist for 25 years BEFORE that. They ceased. Now you need to figure out WHY.

Some things you gotta ask people who claim gibberish is Godly I've heard people say after doing tongues, they felt that their prayers were answered more. If thats true then it means God can be influenced by special words. That is what magic is. Doing a ritual or specialized action to plea or convince spirits to act for you. Why wouldn't God be ok with me just talking? If using different words or sounds helped get God to answer, wouldn't that mean you believe God doesn't know his creation or know the thoughts you have before you have them?. Belief in tongues is magic. Most magic follows God and Solomon's guide(still a pagan practice because of its method) If you had a room full of unbelievers who were interested in God and you spoke in tongues, chances are they'll think you are evil and say "No thanks" No one can give me a reason for doing tongues because its pointless other than maybe feeling 'gifted' or powerful for having magic (words?) to utter. I tried it and I couldn't justify it. I don't need to mumble my way into God's heart, and it's not worth it if it turns people away. If it was a real language, even an angel language with letters and grammar that can be shown as real it would make way more sense

He keeps insisting throughout the video that the gift of tongues is the ability to preach the Gospel in a foreign language, interprets passages through that assumption, but offers no evidence for it at all. We have two scriptures that tell us what the content of speaking in tongues can be: 1. Speaking the 'wonderous works of God.' (Acts 2:11, in the words of those who described the content of what was spoken.) 2. Thanksgiving directed to God. (I Corinthians 14:16-17.) There is no Biblical evidence of anyone preaching the kergyma-- the death, burial, and resurrection, and salvation through the name of Jesus. Could such things be spoken 'in tongues.' That is up to the Holy Spirit. Paul calls praying in tongues 'speaking' in tongues. So there is not a great difference. I Corinthians 13, for 'exaggerated hypotheticals' he cuts off before getting to the very possible actions of giving one's body to be burned and giving all to the poor. The way 'all' is used at times, having all mysteries and all knowledge may not be impossible. Moving mountains is possible. If the Bible uses it as a metaphor, then Tongues ceasing-- how do we not know Paul is not referring to individual manifestations of tongues? How many languages do angels have, he asks. we do not know. We do know the concept is referenced in the scriptures. Tongues of angels also shows up in intertestamental literature, so it was concept before Paul wrote this. Even if Paul is throwing out 'tongues of angels' as an unreal hypothetical, it doesn't affect that actual application of the passage. If we really read chapter 14, Paul says nothing about preaching in tongues. He mentions praying in tongues as thanksgiving, and he calls praying in tongues 'speaking' in tongues. Tongues are not understood by the congregation, so the utterance needs to be interpreted for others to be edified. So whether the tongue spoken is angelic or human, practically, it functions the same way in the congregation. In I Corinthians 14, Paul says if he speaks in tongues his spirit prays, which is why interpreters reading the subsequent verses that immediately follow take his references to praying with the spirit to refer to praying with tongues. It's just following the context. He is hung up on the quasi-strawman idea of tongues being 'heavenly tongues.' Who believes that? I've rarely encountered it. Verse 18 contrasts speaking with his mind with speaking in tongues, indicating a lack of understanding when he speaks in tongues. Yet Paul spoke in tongues more than all the Corinthians. Interpreting Paul's statement that he spoke in tongues more than them all to mean that he preached the Gospel in tongues is kind of ridiculous since nowhere does scripture mention preaching the Gospel in tongues, and Paul referred to prayer in tongues in the verses immediately preceeding.

[@Sparooski]

I had to repent from speaking in tongues as well. Here's a thought, how can we say Amen even in private prayer if we ourselves don't know what we are saying? That should scare anyone. My last straw trying to convince people was after a year of them "listening and agreeing with this exact teaching right here, repeatedly in different formats", I heard in conversation they were okay with the tongues spoken amongst them because they got interpretation. Mind you, everyone of them speaks perfectly good English. I threw in the towel at that point.

I am reformed and I go to a confessionally reformed church - and God brought me out of pentecostalism, as He helped me recognize a lot of the error in what they teach (particular their soteriology and the continuationism). Yet, when I pray, I admit I do still occasionally speak in tongues. It is an urge that I still occasionally feel during prayer. And when I do it, I do feel edified afterwards. I have wondered and prayed concerning it, whether maybe it is the flesh. Nonetheless, I do feel inwardly strengthened when praying in tongues even though I do not agree with it being taught in churches as doctrine. I am thinking maybe I will just give it more time - I was pentecostal for over a decade, and I have only been reformed a few months. Perhaps over time I will learn to not to go by feelings and to pray in a more biblical manner.

[@ComeOutOfHerMyPeople]

You are praying in a biblical manner. Don’t quench the spirit friend.

[@jake3510001]

Psychosomatic! i was a tongue speaker until i realised how unbiblical the version i and everyone else across the globe taught. Real tongues = Real language. True tongues is for unbelievers according to Apostle Paul. It is so they can hear the Gospel in their own language by a person who can not speak that language testifying to them Christ is the Son of God. It is a true miracle. No one can do that tongues today but they can all speak utter babble that is not testable and they selfishly use a gift of God for their personal gratification when in fact gifts are specifically for the body of Christ not individuals just to make them fell good. Paul mentioned not all can speak in tongues but today so many can and it makes them feel good but so many i know who wanted to have that same feeling of closeness of God could not have that gift. So they felt God loved others more because the ones speaking in tongues claimed it brought them feeling as if they were closer to God. What a cruel gift that is then if that is what it is don't you think? Real tongues = real testable miraculous sign for unbelievers.

[@thelightoftheworld4698]

May the Lord bless you for wanting to teach others the Word of God. I have watched a few of your videos, and they are of interest. However, this one, regarding the tongues and the gift of tongues the scriptures are not as you explained them. There are tongues which is a sign that the person is baptized in the Holy Spirit, and then there is the gift of tongues in which we see in 1 Cor 12. The 120 on the day of Pentecost when they were baptized in the Holy Spirit spoke in another language, then the you one the knew. They didn't know what they were saying, however the people who were from those places which spoke those languages were able to understand them, as they heard the wonderful things of God. Of what you claim is true that tongues serve the purpose to preach,, why then did Peter preach in the local language? Your argument doesn't not hold. You stressed the tongues of angels to try and to make your argument, but speaking in tongues is not just speaking in the tongue of angels, which it could be but it is mostly not. It is usually another human language which the believer doesn't know themselves, and that is why it is unfruitful because they don't understand, therefore Paul says 'I will pray with the Spirit (the Holy Spirit) and will my mind.' Of there has to be order in the church and during the time of prayer where neither all are to speak in tongues nor all are to prophecy. When Cornelius and all his household was baptized in the Holy Spirit, why were they speaking in tongues? To preach to Peter and the other believers? No, but it was sign that Peter and the other believers could hear and understand that they were baptized with the Holy Spirit. Now the gifts of the Spirit are 9, as stated in 1 Cor 12, however there are unfortunately churches out there that give a bad name to the gifts and the Holy Spirit. Like going around dancing and running around , jumping up and downloading, blowing on each other , knocking people over ... May the Lord have mercy on us. So let's not nigate the Word because some people misuse the scriptures. God bless you, keep striving!

[@salt1956]

I've been attending Pentecostal churches for nearly 20 years. In the early years, there was tongue speaking in the Sunday service and it was talked about fairly often. Also there were prayers for the sick, prayers for miracles and there was prophecy. But in recent years the enthusiasm for these gifts has waned. I haven't heard tongues even mentioned in the last five years; there are no more healing meetings with guest preachers. Not many people take it seriously when the preacher randomly prophesies from the pulpit, once or twice a year. It's all become fairly 'mainstream'. It seems that the emperor's new clothes are now seen for what they are; a thing we all wanted to believe, but was really a product of our own vivid imaginations. We were desperate for signs from God. But signs never came. There were no healings or miracles. Prophecies failed. And tongues, if we are truly honest with ourselves, are just man-made gibberish. Maybe in years to come, history will judge Pentecostalism as a phase that ran its course for for less than 100 years, something like the 19th century revivals. What do others think?

Speaking in Tongues Now days It’s quite normal for people to speak in another language, which is why it came as a surprise in Acts 2:6-8, they heard unlearned foreigners speaking their own language. Acts 2:6-8 [6] And when this sound occurred, the multitude came together, and were confused, because everyone heard them speak in his own language. [7] Then they were all amazed and marveled, saying to one another, “Look, are not all these who speak Galileans? [8] “And how is it that we hear, each in our own language in which we were born? This confirms what Paul says to the Corinthians when he says. . . 1 Corinthians 14:21-22 [21] In the law it is written: “With men of other tongues and other lips I will speak to this people; And yet, for all that, they will not hear Me,” says the Lord. [22] Therefore tongues are for a sign, not to those who believe but to unbelievers; but prophesying is not for unbelievers but for those who believe. Speaking in tongues is a gift from God but not many people realise there are two types of tongues. One is a sign that comes when you believe in Christ, the other is gift that not everyone will receive. Jesus said in Mark 16:17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; The tongues that Jesus was talking about in Mark 16:17 are the ones mentioned in 1 Corinthians 14:2 For he who speaks in a tongue does not speak to men but to God, for no one understands him; however, in the spirit he speaks mysteries. Also in . . 1 Corinthians 14:14 For if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prays, but my understanding is unfruitful. Jude 20 But you, beloved, building yourselves up on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit, Earlier I mentioned there was a second kind of tongue. These are the tongues most people are more likely to see as a miracle when spoken in front of someone you know. 1 Corinthians 12:28 And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of tongues. The tongues spoken of above are the ones mentioned in Acts 2:4 And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance. . . Acts 2:6-8 And when this sound occurred, the multitude came together, and were confused, because everyone heard them speak in his own language. Then they were all amazed and marveled, saying to one another, “Look, are not all these who speak Galileans? “And how is it that we hear, each in our own language in which we were born? Although, not every believer will speaks in these tongues as mentioned in 1 Corinthians 12:30 Do all have gifts of healings? Do all speak with tongues? Do all interpret? Both these scriptures in Mark and Corinthians are confirmed in 1 Corinthians 13:1 where it says, Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels. . . As I mentioned in Mark 16:17 that speaking in a new tongue was a sign to those who believe. If you don’t believe you can speak in a new tongue or do not have a desire for this, it will not manifest. As for the tongues of Angels mentioned in 1 Corinthians 13:1, if you don’t believe are able to speak in this tongue. Mark 16:17 calls it a new tongue. But let’s look at what Paul says. 1 Corinthians 14:5 I wish you all spoke with tongues, but even more that you prophesied; for he who prophesies is greater than he who speaks with tongues, unless indeed he interprets, that the church may receive edification. First of all Paul wishes that we all spoke in tongues, why is this? Because they are speaking in Gods language and know understands him. 1 Corinthians 14:2 unless there is an interpretation as 1 Corinthians 14:5 However prophesies are spoken in a human language so everyone would benefit from it. But remember, speaking tongues and having an interpreter makes it just as important as prophesies because everyone can understand.

Turns out if you convince someone that they MUST speak in tongues (the way people describe it nowadays).. what do you think that fear will manifest? They will start speaking gibberish to prove they have the Spirit.. to others and to comfort themselves.. I believe this falls under the category of deception.. nonsense.. and works for the purpose of being justified.

@harpula: Very good comment. I've been trying to tell people that for 37 years. Tongues don't exist, but if you tell that to most people, they have a cow over it. They show their MYSTICISM and their self righteousness, and a power mad attitude, that is ANYTHING but, Christian. Just like this guy in the video. He is not a christian because he believes that you can lose your salvation. He's a fraud. Enjoyed your comment.

[@harpuia101]

@JerryPotter. If one believes Salvation can be lost, yet believes they have not themselves lost Salvation.. that would certainly indicate that that one believes Salvation is by works at some level, and believes they are better than anybody else.. which none of us are. What I do or don't do doesn't change what the Lord Jesus Christ did.. nor does it make void the promises of God. All I did, was believe God's testimony regarding His Son.. I can't even boast of that, because obviously God opened my eyes to see the truth and not find the cross foolishness like those perishing. People don't understand that Salvation is a future event.. we have the Holy Spirit now; a seal that cannot be broken.. but the promise is to be raised from the dead and glorified, just as our Lord Jesus Christ was.. until then, we are kept by the power of God alone.
