Dear Bible Believers,

Never forget that after the resurrection (also depicted in "The Passion of the Christ," directed by Mel Gibson), ten days after the ascension of Jesus Christ, he poured out the gift of holy spirit on the day of Pentecost, to make us participants of the divine nature of God (2 Peter 1:4) and endued us with power from on high (Luke 24:49) to be his witnesses in all the world.

This is the salvation, this is the new birth, the baptism with the divine gift of holy spirit, this is the conversion, one thing leading to the other, so one of the manifestations of that power inside us who believe, is the wonderful and powerful ability of speaking in tongues (1 Corinthians, Chapters 12, 13 and 14, paying attention here, specially to 14:14-15, 18, 23, 26, 39; Mark 16:17-18; Jude, verse 20; Ephesians 5:18-19 and 6:18-20).

So, what are you waiting? Believe in your heart that God has raised Jesus from the dead! And confess with your mouth that Jesus Christ is your Lord! (Rom. 10:9-10), and then start speaking in tongues more and more in your life (as in the wonderful living examples that we have through all the book of Acts 2:4, 11; 10:44-46; 19:4-6, etc.)

If you have any genuine question don't doubt and write me, I will be blessed to help you with all my heart, in the name of Jesus Christ.

As a Pentecostal believer, I must tell you that the last message that Christ gave the church was "repent"  (Rev. 2:5; 2:16; 2:22; 3:3; 3:19). The gifts of the spirit are for those who wish to be filled with His "Holy" - Spirit. It was not intended to seduce egos who seek after 'another' supernatural experience, this is not to say that this is what you were implying, my intention is only to clarify a bit. Unfortunately, today, there's not much desire for truth or holiness.

Dear Seedplanter1,

Thanks for the remark.

In meekness I must say that a deeper study of Revelation (as E. W. Bullinger did) we can see that the born again believers are not the subject of it:

Sorry, but NOT everyone has the gift of speaking in tongues or of interpreting.  There are many gifts of the Spirit, but they are dispensed as God wills, not as we will.

Every BELIEVER can Speak in Tongues!

Dear Gidzmo,

The Epistles of Corinthians are directed to the believers in Jesus Christ, not only to the ones of the first century.

1 Cor. 14:39 says for this very present time: "do not forbid to speak with tongues" and 1 Cor. 14:26 says that 'also each one of the believers of the Church of the Body of Christ "has a tongue and an interpretation", and in 1 Cor. 14:23 says that the whole church also "speak with tongues". 1 Cor. 12:7 says that "the manifestation of the spirit is given to each one" for profit (and then, better if you check the Greek text nine different "profits" derived by manifesting holy spirit are mentioned. People misunderstood this verse by saying that there is speaking of different persons, but not, these are different "profits" that the same person needs to enjoy, not all of us need wisdom, or healing? All of us need all of the nine profits resulting by manifesting holy spirit).

When Jesus Christ told: "these signs will follow those who believe... they will speak with new tongues" (Mark 16:17) he never put a caducity date or a restriction.

In the Name of Jesus Christ

Dear Seedplanter1,

That is a powerful statement. The starting point for a born again believer, as we have seen in the book of Acts in the references previously presented, including the 12 Apostles Themselves, and all the people in the house of Cornelius and the 12 believers in Ephesus, among others, first did the speaking in tongues, they also provided word of prophecy, and after that they did miracles of healing, like Peter raising Tabita from the dead, or Paul raising from the dead the guy that fell down from an upper window.

Speaking in Tongues is the start for people interested in became a believer and a born again Christian as Corinthians teaches to us. There are NINE "EVIDENCES" or "MANIFESTATIONS" of the one and only gift of holy spirit given to a born again believer by God.

In the Name of Jesus Christ:

ALEtron X,

The Speaking in Tongues is a manifestation of the gift of holy spirit that was lost in the dark ages, at the time of the catholic inquisition every born again believer that continued speaking in tongues was persecuted.


The Speaking in Tongues was re-discovered by people no more linked with catholic leadership, and it was until later that some catholics realized of its wonderful reality (the so-called "charismatic groups").


A Real Christian does not follow the doctrines of men promoted by the catholic church but the Bible, the Word of God.

[Stump2655 says:] I believe you are teaching ideas of your own that cannot be found in the Bible.  We must do more than just believe and confess.  The Bible clearly teaches that we must repent and go down into that watery grave of baptism.  THIS is the true baptism.  A baptism into Jesus Christ for the remission of sins.  Acts 2:38 (see this quotation in another posting). Also speaking in tongues was ONLY done by those in the days of miracles.  Speaking in tongues ceased when those days ended. 1 Cor. 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." We do not speak in tongues today.  What you are preaching cannot be found in the Bible.

Stump2655


Stump2655 quotes Acts 2:38 dismissing all the forthcoming historical developments of the manifestation of speaking in tongues among the gentiles, i.e. in the house of the Roman Centurion Cornelius (in Acts 10), God needed to talk to Peter in order for him to go inside the house of Cornelius, and in the Gentile nations, like in Ephesus (in Acts 19), Paul helped them to manifest the speaking in tongues. Then he quotes 1 Cor. 13:8 dismissing all the forthcoming context, even when the full Chapter 14 explains how to decently do the speaking in tongues and, as I posted before, how in 1 Cor. 14:39 it clearly explains: "DO NOT FORBID TO SPEAK WITH TONGUES."

So by taking the scriptures out of their historical and textual context, the bad leadership have tried to left the family of God without any spiritual power and only with harsh, cold and useless doctrines and dogmas.

The tongues are a necessary tool while we are in this wicked world to overcame any kind of adversity and to have joy in the midst of it, when we became transformed to our spiritual body (the perfect body, at the coming of Christ to take us away from this world) tongues will be necessary no more, but LOVE endures forever!

RodSquad 09,

The Bible tells us in Mark that "They shall take up serpents; and IF" is not a "they must" is an "IF." Check that historical fact by yourself in the life of Paul: A venomous viper did bite his hand while he was taking sticks, not willingly but it was an "IF", "And he shook off the beast into the fire, and felt no harm" (Acts 28:5).

A beautiful promise in the spiritual realm can also be perceived:

"And the God of peace shall bruise Satan under our feet shortly" (Rom. 16:20).

"And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shall bruise his heel" (Gen. 3:15).

Dear Gidzmo,

I won't insist any more but only this time again. I put in dark the emphasis:

In a message dated 2/25/04 4:21:22 PM Central Standard Time, Gidzmo writes:

Now to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good [To Sumferon, The Profit]. To one [Ho men gar] there is given through the Spirit the message of wisdom, to another [ALLO] the message of knowledge by means of the same Spirit, to another [HETERO] faith by the same Spirit, to another [ALLO] gifts of healing by that one Spirit, to another [ALLO] miraculous powers, to another [ALLO] prophecy, to another [ALLO] distinguishing between spirits, to another [HETERO] speaking in different kinds of tongues,[1] and to still another [ALLO] the interpretation of tongues.[2]. All these are the work of one and the same Spirit, and he gives them to each one, just as he determines." (1 Corinthians 12:7-11, NIV)

"The Common Good" (NIV) is the Greek word "To Sumferon" translated in the NKJV as "The Profit," then To one refers not to one "person" but to one "profit" as the Greek word is "Ho men gar" translated in the NKJV as "For To One", the immediate subject is not “person” but “The Profit”, so it needs to be understood as For To One PROFIT. How I know that? Because of the particular use of the expressions "to another" in Greek, one of them corresponds to the word "ALLO" used SIX times here, but also the expression "to another" here in Greek corresponds to "HETERO", used only TWO times, when speaks of: to another [HETERO] faith by the same Spirit AND to another [HETERO] speaking in different kinds of tongues.

If it were talking here about persons the particular and precise different uses of the Greek words ALLO and HETERO are left totally unexplained, but if talking about "The Profit" it is very clear, as HETERO is a profit for the individual manifesting faith and speaking in tongues, but ALLO is a profit for the individual AND for another members of the Church.

Then it came the next conclusive end: "the same Spirit, and he gives them to each one, just as he determines." This end or conclusion in Greek is "idia ekasto katos bouletai" that should be translated as "to each one as he wills", the "he" being again applied to the last subject that in this case is indeed “the person”, that is that “each one” [in Greek: idia ekasto], the last subject mentioned, not "the Spirit." How I know that? Because the Bible tells me so: in 1 Cor. 14:15 Paul says, regarding the order of the manifestations "in the Church": "I wish you all spoke with tongues..." He says "YOU ALL" and if that is impossible, why he wishes something impossible? And in verse 14:18 Paul says, "I thank my God I speak with tongues more than you all" More than YOU ALL. Is this again a vain boasting, or is a decision of the free will of Paul to decide to do so? In verse 14:23, as I mentioned in a previous mail it is written: "If the whole church comes together in one place, and all speak with tongues", “THE WHOLE CHURCH...”, and “ALL” again... do you see? The heart of God is for ALL to do it because: "He who speaks in a tongue edifies himself". Do you think that we have no need to edify ourselves everyday?

Why Jude in verse 20 declared that: "You, beloved building yourselves up on your most holy faith, praying in the holy spirit" If all the Believers were unable to "pray in the holy spirit," why bother them with this dearly recommendation? What does it mean to "pray in the holy spirit"? The answer is in the Bible!

Please go to: 1 Cor. 14:14-15 "If I pray in a tongue, my spirit prays, but my understanding is unfruitful. What is the conclusion then? I will pray with the spirit, and I will also pray with the understanding. I will sing with the spirit, and I will sing with the understanding" (NKJV).

Those verses clearly say that to pray in the holy spirit is to pray in a tongue. Why are the peoples blinded by religious traditions and by unbelieving leadership?

To approach our conclusion, let's go to: Eph. 5:18-19 "do not be drunk with wine in which is dissipation; but be filled with the spirit. Speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord" and then to Eph. 6:18 "Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the spirit."

What does it mean here "Praying in the spirit"? This is the same as in Jude verse 20 and in 1 Cor. 14:14-15, it is again "Praying in a tongue."

Jesus Christ mentioned of the speaking in tongues in the next contexts: "God is Spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth" (John 4:24).

What does it mean here "Worship in spirit". We know now the answer.

And in Mark 16:17 "These signs will follow those who believe… they will speak with new tongues"

Paul describes the fulfillment of that promise of Christ: "For by one spirit we were all baptized into one body" (1 Cor. 12:13).

It is a sign of the presence of holy spirit inside us, ALL of us can do it. Jesus said "THOSE WHO BELIEVE", do you believe, do you really believe that he said that?

It is like to be artist in painting or music. All of us have hands and ears, but, who excels but the one practicing day and night and perfecting the methodology with focusing and with purpose. NOT ALL SPEAK IN TONGUES AT THE SAME TIME IN THE CHURCH, that was going on in Corinth (and that continues in “charismatic” and “Pentecostal” groups) and Paul needed to correct them to make them to act decently and in order, as the full Chapter of 1 Cor. 14 will teach you.

And Last:

"It was he who gave some to be apostles, some to be prophets, some to be evangelists, and some to be pastors and teachers, to prepare God's people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up, until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ." (Ephesians 4:11-13, NIV)

These are the five gifts of Ministries for the whole Church. These are totally different to the nine manifestations of holy spirit described in 1 Cor. 12:7-11, and as much as you practice the manifestation of holy spirit more and more easy became the producing of the fruit of holy spirit, also composed of nine parts, as described in Gal. 5:22-23.

The five gifts of Ministries for the whole Church, if you see in Acts, were also provided according to the need, some persons functioning some times as Apostles, some times as Evangelists, etc. I believe Paul practiced also all of the gifts of Ministries according to the needs of the Church of his time. And of course, Paul practiced all of the nine manifestations of the spirit and provided the fruit of the spirit with its nine parts.

If you already believe in your heart the truth that Jesus Christ was raised from the dead by God, and if you have already confessed that Jesus is the Lord of your life, you are already saved (Rom. 10:9-10), you don't need to speak in tongues if you don't want to, or if you have been instructed to don't do so. But if you want the PLUS from God, the added blessing that is freely available for you, go for it, do it without doctrinal or personal barriers.

In the powerful name of Jesus Christ

Every BELIEVER Can Speak in Tongues!

Hello, Fdocc!  Good to hear from you!

A Scripture concerning spiritual gifts:

"There are different kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit. There are different kinds of service, but the same Lord. There are different kinds of working, but the same God works all of them in all men.
Now to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good. To one there is given through the Spirit the message of wisdom, to another the message of knowledge by means of the same Spirit, to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by that one Spirit, to another miraculous powers, to another prophecy, to another distinguishing between spirits, to another speaking in different kinds of tongues,[1] and to still another the interpretation of tongues.[2]. All these are the work of one and the same Spirit, and he gives them to each one, just as he determines." (1 Corinthians 12:4-11, NIV)

12:10 Or languages; also in verse 28
12:10 Or languages; also in verse 28

Not every believer can speak in tongues.  God didn't design His Church so that every believer would have the same set of gifts. Imagine how uninteresting things would be if everyone had the same set of gifts.

"It was he who gave some to be apostles, some to be prophets, some to be evangelists, and some to be pastors and teachers, to prepare God's people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up, until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ." (Ephesians 4:11-13, NIV)

Every believer has something in the Church to do--it's just that not everyone gets to do the same thing.  If so, it would be like having (in the words of a pastor at my church) "the church of the living eye," because nothing else would be getting done.

All the best!

Dear LPE4442,

Again, why don't we let the Bible explain by itself.

Jude verse 20 and Ephesians 6:18 are clearly speaking of a reality very alive today:

"You, beloved, building yourselves up on your most holy faith, praying in the holy spirit" (Jude, verse 20)

"Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit" (Eph. 6:20)

"Praying in the holy spirit" = "All prayer and supplication in the spirit"

1 Cor. 14:14-15 opens the eyes of our understanding when it says: "If I pray in a tongue, my spirit prays... I will pray with the spirit, and I will ALSO pray with the understanding..."

God, please, in the Powerful name of your son JESUS CHRIST, open the eyes of the already born again believers to let them see that there is way far more abundance in their lives with your gift of holy spirit being manifested!

Dear Wiseup35,

I believe in the Bible to be true, and I believe that with faithful reading and dedication we can see the light flowing through the Bible.

I believe with all my heart in the Love of God being manifested by Us, His Children, with that Love I submit you to read the Bible above all, with the Bible in mind I have prepared the answers for the previous postings, but even people that we don't know, but that God does know, they also are aware of that great truth (as you will see below). In the name of Jesus Christ!

For those who REALLY want to know;


…Romans 10; 9,10 is the only way to get born again…



…The original out pouring of the gift of holy spirit was the day of Pentecost. That was the first time in History man could ever be born again of God's gift of holy spirit, making you His child.

 
Without that gift of holy spirit, you are not His child and you don't have eternal life. MY POINT IS; THAT (the gift of holy spirit) should be the focal point of "so called" Christianity, the birth of the church of God and the power that came to it on the day of Pentecost.


That, Ladies and Gentleman was the real reason for Christ's coming, to save us through the new birth, by what he faced up to here on earth. God wanted a family, now he can have one, it will be made up of those whom He Father's via the new birth…


If you really want to get it straight, and you really want to bring it, and not for money's sake but because you really are hungering after righteousness, drop me a line. I can help anyone who really wants to know. If you just want to argue religion, go away, I haven't got time. If you want to know about GOD almighty and His wonderful Son, I can help. Go see Mel's interpretation of it, then come for the real story of healing and deliverance.


Mel won't be there for you after the movie ends, but I will be right here. I've been at this a little longer than Mel and he can't go beyond what he has been led to believe, like so many others they just need to get the real story God intended for man to have.

 
God's Word IS God's Will!

This is to Mel Gibson,

 

A man "Adam" sinned, a man "Jesus" obeyed God (Rom. 5:15-19):

 

"BY ONE MAN'S OBEDIENCE MANY WILL BE MADE RIGHTEOUS" (Rom. 5:19).

 

Our Lord Jesus Christ needed to be one of us to redeem us and to be in just and in legal terms of redemption.

 

Adam and Jesus had one thing in common: they both had pure and clean blood, Adam lost that cleanness, Jesus, our Lord and Savior kept it through all his life, then, when he was resurrected, his body was transformed.

 

Romans 10:9-10 says that we need to confess that Jesus is our Lord, NOT to confess that Jesus is our "God". Do we believe the Bible in its fullness or in the dogmas and traditions of men?

The Bible says that God is the same yesterday, today, and forever.  If He gave the gift of tongues to the early Christians, He will give it to us. The Bible says to "desire spiritual gifts" one of which is to speak in tongues or interpret tongues. Tongues have not ceased and they wont as long as there are Christians who allow the Holy Spirit to fill them up to overflowing.

Travisnangel,

Outstanding posting, I bless you with all my heart in the name of our common Lord and Savior: Jesus Christ!

We, the readers that are able to speak in tongues, we need to pray with our understanding and also with the gift of holy spirit given to Us by God, because through our speaking in tongues for every reader of these lines, according to God's foreknowledge, many are going to became born again and/or to start manifesting the power from on high (Luke 24:49) that they already have within, but have not yet used because of bad teaching and/or unbelief.

This is as Peter prophesized:

"For the promise is to you and to your children, and to all who are afar off, as many as the Lord our God will call" (Acts 2:39)

Interesting letter. Thank you for writing. But, I have no need to speak in "tongues."

 

The God I worship has the ability to understand English.

 

Paul speaking to the immature Christians in the church of Christ at Corinth would say: "Tongues are for a sign, not to them that believe, but to them that believe not" [1Cor. 14:22]. I was of the understanding that you "believed."

Have you obeyed Peter's command of Acts 2:38?

 

[Acts 2:38 says: “Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit”]

 

Keep in mind, that it is not having the "indwelling" of the Holy Spirit that saves one; It is what Jesus did on the cross that "saves."  "For he [God] has made him [Jesus] to be sin for us, [you and I] that we might be made the righteousness of God in him." [2 Cor. 5:21].

The question must be asked: How does one get "in him" to become "righteous," and "be reconciled to God?" [2 Cor. 5:19-21].

I thank you for your prayers.

 

Because He lives,

 

JR

If you don't want to speak in tongues is your own and private privilege, but please "DO NOT FORBID TO SPEAK WITH TONGUES"

 

Do you think that everything can be reached with your limited understanding? The spirit helps us in our inability to pray as we must pray (Rom. 8:26). The “groanings” there described are the speaking in tongues.

 

To speak in tongues is not obligatory, is just an added blessing from our Father God to cope with the adversary in this corrupted world. Are we so smart as to trash one of the mainstream manifestations for which Jesus Christ paid the price of his life?

 

Acts 2:38 is talking of the new baptism of Jesus: “In spirit” not of the old baptism of John: “In water” (is exactly the example that we see in Apollos, Acts. 18:24-26). If you have holy spirit, you can speak in tongues.

 

One last call from me to you:

 

Don't limit yourself to the beginning of Acts, read the rest of the history, Acts 10, Acts 19, etc., 1 Cor. Chapters 12, 13 and 14, Ephesians, even Jude (verse 20) mentions the praying in holy spirit, and I ask: What is that according to the word of God?

 

We are not interested in private opinions of men. The Bible clearly declares: "if I pray I a tongue, my spirit prays… I will pray with the spirit, and I will also pray with the understanding" (1 Cor. 14:14-15). Are we above God to say that we only want to pray with our understanding (in English) because our dogmas say that today is impossible to speak in tongues, so if we take that decision we are dismissing to pray in the spirit.

 

I won't push any more this point on you, I will only speak in tongues for you and you will be able to see for yourself the miraculous power of that kind of prayer that from my own small place I will be doing for you, I don't know you, but God does, so if I speak in tongues for you, God can cover for you on behalf of my prayer in the spirit.

 

God bless you in the name of Jesus Christ, who is our Lord, but Jesus Christ is NOT our God! In his name and with his love I pray again for you in my spirit with tongues right now!

It took until the last part of the 1800's for the Simon the Sorcerers quest for knowledge to use the Holy Spirit for gain.  Speaking in tongues as written in scripture is equivalent to the same speaking in tongues that takes place at the UN or any other meeting where different languages is spoken. 


Acts 2:4-13 

“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. 7.  And they were all amazed and marveled, saying one to another, BEHOLD, ARE NOT ALL THESE WHICH SPEAK GALILAEANS? And HOW HEAR WE EVERY MAN IN OUR OWN TONGUE WHEREIN WE WERE BORN?  9.  Parthians, and Medes, and Elamites, and the dwellers in Mesopotamia, and in Judaea, and Cappadocia, in Pontus, and Asia, 10.  Phrygia, and Pamphylia, in Egypt, and in the parts of Libya about Cyrene, and strangers of Rome, Jews and proselytes, 11.  Cretes and Arabians, WE DO HEAR THEM SPEAK IN OUR TONGUES THE WONDERFUL WORKS OF GOD.  12. And they were all amazed, and were in doubt, saying one to another, What meaneth this?  Others mocking said, These men are full of new wine.

Yes, real Christian does not follow the doctrines of men, which promote using the Holy Spirit for their own gain and amusements.

Dear In Christ:

 

  Thank you for your letter to me. It is good that you are witnessing to others. You probably sent me this knowing from by postings that I am also a believer in Christ.

 

The information you gave to me is already known however. See I am a member of the Assemblies of God, as you may very well be also. I never would have believed that I would become of Pentecostal faith, but I have never been closer to the Lord than I am now. I am Baptized in the Holy Spirit already, for 2 years now I have been praying in tongues. I have studied all the scriptures very well on that subject first.

 

I cannot wait to go see the movie! I do not have a weak stomach, but I will have to take a box of kleenex because I will be very sensitive to the pain and agony that he suffered for me.

 

I will probably praise him right there!

 

Again, thank you very much...

 

Linda for Christ....

Do you by chance attend the Church of Christ?

……………………

We attend home meetings in where we sing, we have manifestations of holy spirit (word of prophecy and speaking in tongues with interpretation), we have a Teaching from the Bible and we also have abundant sharing (more than the tithe, giving from our heart), sometimes we have prayer time with our understanding, one by one, at will at the beginning or at the end of the meeting.

We completely believe in speaking in tongues and I and my entire church (Pentecostal) does it on a regular basis (whenever someone feels the spirit the head right up front or even stand where they are and get the best blessing ever), nice to see some other people who believe in this wondrous gift.
