Can we still speak in tongues? Why or why not? What does the Bible say? Why do people still claim to speak in tongues today? Is it sinful? 2013OCT06 - Q&A-46 + 2013OCT13 - Q&A-47

My experience with 2 people I met that claimed they spoke in tongues while praying were negative. One was a lady who came to my door and said that I wasn't saved because I didn't speak in tongues like she did that morning. The other one was when I went to a Bible class and the pastor that taught it said that he spoke in tongues while he prayed. I asked about it because it is weird to me. He got snippy with me and said, "Be ignorant then. It's in Scripture." I won't go back to another class. I'm not a second class Christian because I don't speak in tongues.

I question it because if it is still an active gift of the Holy Spirit, it would be demonstrated throughout all of the the Church's history and would not be restricted by denomination. If speaking this "heavenly language," which the aforementioned pastor said was not the same as what happened on the day of Pentecost, was truly from the Holy Spirit, we would see it happen in every true Christian Church. It wouldn't be a human tradition thing, a new movement, or only in certain Churches.

I've always spoken my prayers in English, and God has replied in English. God is the Creator of language. It's no big thing for Him. I'd rather give credit to my God for knowing all the languages than to glorify myself in saying I spoke some "heavenly" language as evidence of having the Holy Spirit. When people can use some Holy Spirit quality to put other Christians down, that isn't of God. When that lady tried to convince me that I wasn't saved, that was direct Satanic attack.

Romans 8:26 says, "In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know how we ought to pray, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groans too deep for words." I had a very powerful encounter with Jesus when I ACCEPTED HIM AS LORD AND SAVIOR WHERE i FELT THE HOLY SPIRIT ENTER ME WITH SUCH JOY AND PEACE. A few years later I received the Gift or baptism of the Holy Spirit and it was a similar experience to my accepting Jesus as my Lord and Savior. I did speak in tongues and felt the same peace and joy from the Holy Spirit. I have no doubts that this is real and the Baptists are wrong on this one point. Mostly I pray in tongues privately when I don't know how to pray and I need a word from the Holy Spirit. I've received many specific words from the Lord this way that came to pass as the Holy Spirit said. Romans 8:26 says, "For we do not know how we ought to pray, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groans too deep for words."

I was very skeptical about the 'tongues' experience myself. Probably because I'd seen so many phony 'tongues' by TV preachers and others who seem to be able to do it instantly whenever they desired, switch it on and switch it off at will. However, I sought this 'infilling of God's spirit' with much prayer and fasting by myself and others for me. After several weeks, then months I finally just gave up trying so hard and told God.... well, whatever... it's up to you now. I forgot about it for awhile. Then one day on a Saturday I got home from work in the early afternoon and decided to pray. I went through the usual list of things, bless this person, help that person, blah blah blah. Nothing fervent or unusual. Then after about five minutes something began to happen. I started to feel a bit energized and all of a sudden as I allowed it to happen, I began to yield to the feeling and started to pray a little more intensely . All of a sudden I was speaking out loud in some unknown language. Just a few words at first, then entire sentences began to flow out. The feeling seemed to come in waves like wind going through me. I was so energized I began moving and kinda running around my living room. My shirt was wet with tears of joy. It lasted for about twenty minutes or so and eventually tapered off and stopped. But it wasn't just what I felt, but what I didn't feel. It was the complete absence of fear combined with total peace, comfort and love. I've had this experience many many times since, but I can never bring it on. It happens when it happens. Usually in intense prayer. I remember one time in particular (many years later) I woke up about 2am in the morning and began to pray for my neighbor (this guy was sort of a jerk and always insulted me and my family almost every time I talked to him) The tongues started and it was very intense. I was praying in travail for this man. I thought to myself as it was happening 'I don't even like this guy. he's been such a big problem for so many years" It was almost as if I was a detached observer. Again, I was drenched in tears, yet for a person I didn't really care about. I found out a few days later he had been in the hospital that very night going through a life or death operation. A short time later this neighbor and I did get along much better and became friends. You just never know why God's spirit does what it does, and works through who it works through. It could be you. You must receive the infilling of God's spirit as promised in the Bible. It's for everyone, not just a select few. As it is written (KJV)...…. Acts 2:38 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. 39 For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call.

Sometimes people stumbled a bit, as being hesitant to give something, and sometimes people stopped short of something, or sometimes someone went too far, and began to repeat the sum and substance of what they had already given, but never was there anything given that I would call confusing.

I have the greatest respect for John Barnett's teachings of the scriptures because they take into context the whole paragraph, chapters and even books whereas a number less credible teachings tend to concentrate on a few isolated verses and attempt to make some sort of doctrine out of it. As with George, I disagree with the cessationists' views of prophecies, tongues etc.. as I have experienced them myself. However, it is simply not right to level personal attacks at John Barnett and accuse him of being a false teacher etc.. Jesus said wrt to false teachers to look at their fruits and I see more fruit from John Barnett and a genuine love and passion for God than a majority of tongue-speaking believers. How do I reconcile this teaching with my own beliefs? "We know in part and we prophesy in part..." tells me we don't yet understand everything except what God Himself reveals to us where we're at. This issue is not a big enough one to warrant a whole lot of argument and possibly causing a disunity amongst the believers about. Causing disunity would create more grief in Holy Spirit than a belief that tongues no longer exist. Holiness, righteousness, unity of the believers, having the sole purpose of our lives be to glorify God's name among the nations... those we don't do anywhere near good enough so lets start there instead, regardless of whether we believe prophecies and tongues have ceased or not.

We can speak to God in mystery for us language. Because our mind is not perfect, and the Holy Spirit intercedes for us. It is to edify yourself, that the reason Paul says speak in private. But we can speak in Church too if we have interpreters. Some Pastors teaching to stay away from those who speak in tongues. Is that right?

@@failam2918 .....noticed your comment, and whilst your observation on ''tongues'' as a language, is correct I think you like many others are putting the wrong emphasis on this gift....... When an individual is filled with the spirit of God, the manifestation will always be that they will exclaim the powerful utterance of a new tongue as the spirit of God gives the utterance.......When I personally experienced it, that is when I was convinced that God was real. Tongues are not being ''born of the spirit'' all by themselves,....instead, tongues is the '''EVIDENCE''' that one has been baptized into the Holy Ghost. It is like a verbal spiritual overflow if you please, which can be extremely exhilarating. ' Quite contrary to your statement on what qualifies a believer, one of which is '''They will speak with new tongues..... but also it is essential to be baptized in Jesus name for the remission of sins {Acts 2 vs 38} which is claiming the shed blood of Christ on Calvary. Interestingly as you observed the greek meaning of ''tongues''', did you also observe that the word '''GIFT''' of tongues e.g in {Acts 2;38} in the greek dialect is rendered ...''DOREA'' which means ''a gratuity'' in God's works in essential salvation,...... Conversely, the word '''GIFT'' in {1st Cor. 12} concerning spiritual gifts e.g the gift of DIVERSE KINDS OF TONGUES is rendered in the Greek dialect as the word ''CHARISMA'' from where we derive the expression charismatic. This gift of tongues will always and must be associated with the gift of '''Interpretation of tongues''' and is not the same as the Acts 2;38 salvation {DOREA} gift. This charismatic gift is nearly always and only used when God wants to address a church congregation for all to hear. Tongues are prayer and spiritual communication language between you and God, and scripture is quite clear that if you have not shown the manifestation of speaking in tongues, you are not yet filled with the Holy Spirit, and have effectively not completed the born of water and of the spirit salvation process. {BORN AGAIN}. The spiritual charismatic gifts will follow after that you have received initial salvation,.... and dependant on what gifts are best for you from God's perspective.

I can't deny what I have seen and experienced. When our missionary group was in Africa and prayed over a man in tongues, he was shocked and so was the interpreter because he received a prophesy in his native tongue. I had a herniated disk in my lower back between L4 and L5(MRI pictures) and my doctor said I would need to have surgery or I would be in pain for life. But I knew my God is greater and he can heal me, with faith we prayed and my back was healed, praise the Lord our God, I could go on and on about testimonies of how wonderful and amazing our God is and the countless lives hes changed, healed, and set free. Notice, Jesus always said "your faith has healed you, now go and sin no longer". The reason people dont get healed is because they dont believe and have faith that they can or will be healed. Now dont get me wrong, I know there are false prophets and false "staged" healings that go on and it's very sad. But for those God said he has reserved a special place in the Lake of Fire. But dont allow those few to deceive you into thinking that God no longer does miracles. Our God is almighty, all powerful, all seeing, all knowing, and capable of doing all things. He is the King of Kings and Lord of Lords and nothing is impossible for him. All glory to God, forever and ever, Amen.

All the works and prophecies and even miracles mean nothing without Love being at the center of it. Jesus gave the greatest commandment in Matthew 22 34 to 40. This is all about how to love the Lord and receive the baptism of the Holy Ghost so we can carry the good news affectively to the world with the power of his love and not our own. This is spiritual warfare and we need to fight with our souls. We need the gifts of the Spirit. We were meant to have them for our every day lives and for our calling.

Three wanted to do the course with me. We would sit out in the garden as I wasn’t allowed to do it inside due to government funding the hostel. After the sharing time I would pray for the girls and their needs , one evening as I was praying , one girl began to pray in another language. After that I asked her what happened . She said she did not know and never prayed before even in English . Leading up to then I had not mentioned anything about the prayer language of HS. To me that was a sign that the word had taken root in her heart and she had begin to put her hope in Yeshua and the Holy Spirit had sealed her just like in the book of acts . It wasn’t a big event just a quiet backyard where a few young disciples were gathered around Yeshua , a real life story from Ipswich 🇦🇺 Australia. When I was in university I ran an outreach group for international students . One day as we were praying, my Russian friend who was not a disciple but just curious told me she heard praises to God in Polish as I prayed. This girl had no Pentecostal or church background .

I specified that it is for the edification of your spirit and speaking to God when words fail you. If the Holy Spirit gives you something to say, you speak to them in their own language which is unknown to you, and that would be a miracle, but you cannot do this of your own accord, because we cannot perform miracles by our own power. As to tongues and interpretation in public gatherings, I wont speak to that because I dont have an answer. You also forget that Jesus performed miracles of healing and feeding multitudes out of compassion. He healed people because they needed to be healed. People still need to be healed and healings still happen. May God truly bless you.

@@faithinjesusandfunwithfifa I had to smile as I read your comment. I also have experiences of intense burning. My husband told me it was my hormones, I knew he was wrong, and asked Abba to confirm His fire on me. Shortly after that, I had a dream and I saw a house in flames. It was a typical house with a pointed roof. Inside the house, I could see the back of a man, moving around. He seemed to be at the kitchen counter, working on something. I was told he was my "husband " I was alarmed, thinking the house was going to collapse and he would die. As I watched, the house changed shape. I could now see " Chambers" with burning embers, and blue, red and orange flames. It was really very beautiful. That was the end of the dream. Later that day, (oops here comes the fire on me now as I type) I was told by the Holy Spirit that the house was my heart and Jesus was my husband inside of it. I was told by a friend that I was required to ask for the gift of speaking in tongues according to the Bible. I did not want that gift, I thought it was wierd. But I asked for it for about a week, then forgot about it. About 6 months later, during Christmas season, I had just finished reading my Bible. I turned the light out and began to make up words of love and worship to Jesus and sang to Him and Father. I was feeling especially happy and grateful. The next thing I know, a star appeared in my doorway. It was made of every color you can imagine, and was very beautiful. It was floating toward me as I sang. I was not afraid, nor surprised. It felt familiar to me, and I felt very peaceful and joyful. Then, to my surprise, the star floated right inside my chest!!! In that exact moment, I realized I was singing in a language I had never heard before. I have been able to speak it ever since. I do not speak it out loud when anyone is with me, and only two or three people have ever heard me speak it. It is personal between me and our Father. I believe it is His prayer language for me, and I am speaking mysteries. I do not know what I am praying, but it doesn't matter to me. I know where it originated from, and that's enough for me. satan would not be able to inhabit my body while I was singing and worshipping my Savior. No way! As for the 144,000, I believe I have been shown I was part of that group. I certainly do not deserve it, and many times I doubt it, but there are quite a few on KZfaq who have been given that same understanding. Maybe we are all delusional, and all I can say is, time will tell!!! Yahushuah (Jesus) bless you and keep you until that great day when we will see Him face to face!!

I really enjoy your teachings but this is one that seems to fall flat. You didn't give any scripture that supports the idea that the gifts/signs and wonders have ceased. It's is because there aren't any scriptures to support the idea. Your entire argument is on opinion and reading into scripture. 1 Cor 13 is talking about when the perfect comes (no need for signs etc) but the perfect has not come because clearly creation hasn't been fully restored to God's perfection and won't be until Jesus comes again making all things new.

This gift has been a tremendous blessing to me! I thank God that I can speak in tongues because it has helped me to pray when I didn't know what to pray. It's helped me to pray for people that I felt led to pray for but didn't know why. It's helped me in my darkest moments. It's helped me to be in constant prayer just as the scriptures say that we should be. I don't believe it's mandatory or anything to speak in tongues. But man....it's such a blessing!

Teaching on your own opinion about the gifts needs caution. The reason Christians do not have the power they had in the first century to change the world as we should is this doctrine. Christianity has been watered down. Paul is very clear about about the power of grace and the activity of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is available to all, unlike the Old Testament when only sporadic empowerment happened. Why are we not doing what Peter and Paul did? This doctrine is the reason.

Paul stated super clear in 1 Corinthians 13 that spiritual gifts would pass away. Read Acts 8 and 1 Corinthians 13. Besides those things served a specific purpose which has already been fulfilled. To know the whole and perfect word of God you just need to read your Bible. Everything has already been revealed - hence no more signs and wonders are needed.

Colin Saxton please read this comment, hopefully it will help you better understand Gods word. Paul says that he revealed to us everything God revealed to him. Acts 20:20 You know that I have not hesitated to preach anything that would be helpful to you but have taught you publicly and from house to house. The word “perfect” in the verse below is the Greek word “teleion” which literally translates to “complete, having reached an end”. It’s saying the gospel is complete, that no more revelations would come. James 1:25 “But whoever looks intently into the perfect law that gives freedom, and continues in it--not forgetting what they have heard, but doing it--they will be blessed in what they do.” Same message here in Colossians 1:26 “the mystery that has been kept hidden for ages and generations, but is now disclosed to the Lord's people.” And again here in 1 Corinthians 2:10 these are the things God has revealed to us by his Spirit. The Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God. It also says this about the gift of prophecy. 2 Peter 1:20-21 Above all, you must understand that no prophecy of Scripture came about by the prophet’s own interpretation of things. For prophecy never had its origin in the human will, but prophets, though human, spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit. Paul goes on to say that if anyone (even an angel from heaven) teaches anything new or different from what has already been revealed in NT they are a false teacher and are accursed by God. Galatians 1:8-9 8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. 9 As we said before, so say I now again, if any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed. So... if spiritual gifts (prophecy, tongues, and interpretation) were all about revealing the word of God before folks had access to the complete word of God, what we now call the Bible (which they were), once the complete word of God had been revealed (the Bible)... what purpose would the spiritual gifts serve? We also know that Miracles were called signs because they pointed the way to Jesus, they were done to prove authority and credibility to those revealing a New Testament. But that’s now already been revealed and we know from scripture that no further doctrine, covenant, or testament will follow. So again miracles no longer serve a purpose. And in Acts 8 it clearly shows that only the apostles had the ability to make others capable of spiritual gifts/miracles by laying hands on them. This was obvious to Simon who tried to bribe apostles into giving him this power. So, after apostles died miracles/spiritual gifts would only last until the last disciple died of old age who had been touched by the apostles and blessed with the Holy Spirit. This is why you don’t see miracles/spiritual gifts anymore. The time for such things has passed and as it says in 1 Corinthians 13, what remains is faith, hope and love because love is the fulfillment of the law (Romans 13:10) and these things are what God expects us to rely on to save as many souls as possible before judgment day. 1 Corinthians 13:8-13 8 Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. 9 For we know in part and we prophesy in part, 10 but when completeness comes, what is in part disappears. 11 When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put the ways of childhood behind me. 12 For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known. 13 And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love. Hope that helps. I’ll pray you and others who are confused about scripture come to accept the truth. To claim spiritual gifts are still around is to elude to further revelations from God which is sinful.

The point is that speaking in tongues, is one of the gifts of the HOLY SPIRIT. It doesn't mean that one who receives the HOLY SPIRIT is going to be speaking in tongues. If anyone has doubt about the speaking in tongues and this teaching on it. That one should take it to thr light of CHRIST or ask CHRIST about it. We forget, that CHRIST is available to each of us. One thing that we should pick up from these teachings, is to READ the Bible and ask THE HOLY SPIRIT about scripture. The problem arises when some claim that the one who receives the HOLY SPIRIT is going to speak in tongues. The problem is, that to some "THE SIGN" of the HOLY SPIRIT been in someone is the speaking in tongues. Personally I don't need the sign of tongues to know that the HOLY SPIRIT is in me. Cause with my spirit and heart I can see, feel and hear CHRIST and see GOD'S glory which is CHRIST. But some people do need a sign and THE LORD knows who they are and what kind of sign they need. We should be more concerned about knowing the WORD of GOD and getting to know JESUS better, than the signs of others. GOD BLESS.

I believe when you have asked Jesus Christ to save you, to live in your heart then God sees the difference in your life, if you are a true believer or if you are still living like you did before you were saved, then we can receive His Holy Spirit, for He says why would you put new wine in an old skin, our bodies now belong to Jesus, we are His walking temple, the Holy Spirit can now dwell in us and we pray in tongues straight from our hearts to the throne of God. In new testament the apostles were in the upper room with many others when God's Holy Spirit filled them like cloves of fire. Just think being filled with all of God's Holy LOVE. We really got to walk the love walk of Jesus for His Holy Spirit to dwell in us. I sure still believe in miracles to.

I’m convinced that’s because people want to show off and claim they are more sanctified or more filled with the Holy Spirit than others are. That’s clearly pride and is a sin. I don’t care if I ever speak in tongues. I don’t practice nor do I give it any thought. If God wants to give me this gift he will equip me. We must get our eyes off of ourselves and back on God.

Been through this many, many times. In my experience, I got tongues and didn't have a clue what it was. Turns out that the catechism course had just finished that day at the charismatic church I, being a new comer, went to and the class was praying to get the "baptism with evidence". So what was it I got, not even being there? Spillover? Not so black and white, I'd say. However, I do think charismaniacs have taken things way too far. Yet, who's to say God cannot spice things up from time to time? Back in 70's there was a thing called the Jupiter effect - I read about it in the local paper and went to the presentation given at a local Baptist church. At the end of the thing we all stood for prayer and I wasn't even a christian - but wouldn't you know, I was standing there as if under a comfortably warm thick liquid shower of sorts - so what was that? Changed my life. Stuff happens that no one can explain, or explain away. Big thing is though, that experience can be a stumbling block or diversion from Him.

So true. Draw close to Him & He will draw close to you. I truly thank God for the active gifts still here today esp Healings & Miracles or I would not be alive today. It is real, so real, & so fast, & so perfect, in the twinkling of an eye, totally restored, made whole, you can feel the dunamis flow thru you as the hands are laid on you, & all the medical scans & blood tests immediately before prove & show the extreme illness, & they tell you that you are going to die! & you don't care coz you are so ill, weak, in pain you want to die. Then along comes the believer & says I believe & these signs shall follow those who believe, you just relax & receive from Jesus, & as he prays in the name of our precious Jesus, it flows thru you & you are instantly & totally healed, totally made whole, all pain gone, strength & stamina fully restored, & all the new medical tests show perfection & you can go home totally healed & it never comes back again & your faith is greatly increased. Jesus is alive & He is still healing with miracles today, and the signs follow those who believe. It is real & it is nothing but the Lord Jesus healing thru His Body. But if you keep on believing the Gifts are not for today then these signs will not follow you, coz you don't believe. One day it may be the only thing you have available to you or die prematurely, & then you will wish you did not listen to preaching like this. Coz its all about what you believe & have faith for. Take a look at John Mellor on You Tube all these healings are very real, the infirmities never come back & faith is greatly increased. Tongues is our own very personal prayer language we can use to commune with God & it is also separately for edifying in the church where it is always interpreted then. No tongues is necessary, it's just a great advantage, & you don't know what you have missed until you have it. You don't need to have instructions or some crazy carnal way to receive it like he said they had at his class, just ask Jesus for it & He will surely give it to you with no effort or any thought on your behalf coz it bypasses the carnal mind & flows out of your spirit just like a fountain of spiritual water, so easy, with absolutely no carnal effort at all. One to one in your 'prayer closet' alone with the Lord, it does not need to be interpreted coz its just the Spirit relaying thru you, and that's when you are most likely to see visions where the Lord communes with you personally like He did with Adam, speaking to you in picture or like a video form, but if you don't believe you don't receive & this preaching is telling you there's nothing to believe for now. Not true, all you need is the Holy Spirit & the Lord & they're both still available to those who believe.

Great study. It is rare to find a church who does this correctly. I witnessed it though as a child and it was powerful. The gift of tongues is the least of the gifts, but if you ask and you receive than using them as a prayer language is most beneficial. I do believe in healings. I witnessed many in a Cathrine Koolman meeting in LA when I was eleven. Plus the Lord overnight healed my broken fibula bone!!! Love Him Forever 💞💐🌺

Wow, thank you Dr. Barnett for helping me to receive a gift of Charity (Love). it happened 2 days ago while i was watching your "q&a-10 head coverings and women pastors". i was sitting here shaking my head about women turning away because they think they know better than God when i was suddenly struck with grief for them and tears poured down my face for 20 minutes. and the thought still brings me to uncontrollable tears. i didnt recognize what it was that happened until i just now heard you quote 1 Corinthians 13.8, it immediately dawned on me that i have received a miraculous gift of true love of all of our brothers and sisters. my anger and loathing towards atheists is subsided, since the other night all i feel for them is great sorrow. the same for every other type of sinner that i hated. my life is changed forever. Of course, i have been frequently praying for God's will to replace my own, and wisdom among other things. And reading the Word. So i am not saying i received this gift from simply watching sermons on this channel. But i still want to thank you, sir. God bless you.

There are TWO forms of "speaking in tongues" based on Scripture. One form is in an unknown tongue to the one speaking but a KNOWN language on the earth that others can understand. Another form of "speaking in tongues" is the *prayer language* from a believer's spirit to God, the believer having no UNDERSTANDING of what he (doing the praying in tongues) is saying because the sounds=language is not known to him/her. Satan nor his minions can understand what the believer is SAYING=COMMUNICATING to God; only the believer's spirit and God understand it. Why? Some things of the spirit are still a mystery to man. Just because one does not understand something in the spirit world does not mean it cannot exist. We had a six-year old boy at a Sears Studio years ago, playing in the waiting room, suddenly stop, stand right in front of us, complete stranger, stretched out his arms and hands towards us two, and start speaking in an unknown language. My mother-in-law said something like: How sweet! BUT within 10 seconds of this child speaking, the Holy Spirit quickened us both separately in our minds to pray to REBUKE every word he was saying. The boy finished speaking, turned immediately around, and continued playing as if time had stopped for a short period. THAT was a *curse* , from evil, IN AN UNKNOWN TONGUE. Curses from evil, if one does not have the Holy Spirit, CAN affix themselves to our lives. PRAY FOR GOD'S WISDOM AND DISCERNMENT ALWAYS! Maranatha!!!

The gifts of speaking in tongues has not ceased. There are more than one manifestation of speaking in tongues, such as speaking in a Heavenly language that is strictly between me and the Lord. I do not know what I'm praying perhaps it's for a lost loved one or someone who is ill and the Holy Spirit bears witness with my spirit simply because I believe. However if someone is prophesying in tongues yes there should be an interpretation. A member of our church prophesied during a sermon and our pastor asked us to pray for the interpretation, the lord gave me the interpretation which was... Yay know I can give you all things thus saith the Lord. But I did not obey I was too concerned with what my family might think of me. After service I told the pastor that I could feel the Holy Spirit taking control of my mind urging me to speak the words as if the words wanted to jump out of my mouth I nearly had to bite my tongue and to this day I regret it I was so sad that I was disobedient we had a Congregation of well over 500 people the Lord could have chosen anyone yet he chose me and I failed him. I still pray in tongues my heavenly language not as often as I should though. As the Lord is my witness speaking in tongues is still here on this Earth that within itself proves that the holy spirit is still here and we really should pray and ask him for guidance and knowledge he is here to help us to guide us to lead us into all truth he is watching and listening to everything we are saying and doing yet preachers and teachers barely speak of him, so let us ask him to guide us and lead us into truth we don't know when he'll leave this earth but when he does all hell will break loose so please let us be aware of him while he is still here.

Great preaching! It make sense how miracle workers suddenly stopped after Paul and there was no record of church fathers healing others too. GOD works everything with a purpose and time frame. The miracle workers were for a sign to unbelievers. There was no need for more miracle workers when the early church fathers had direct contact with the original apostles and thus witnessed a lot of these miracle themselves. Today, GOD still heals people but there shouldn't be any miracle works in the same fashion like unto the first century apostles, instead we can now pray to the father to heal us in Jesus name.

The “Gift” of unknown tongues is undeniably clear. Twelve men in a room are filled with the Holy Spirit. Just for simplification let’s say they speak a total of four known languages between them. There are at least hundreds if not thousands of people there that day. Again for simplification let’s say they speak a total of twelve different languages between them. What good would it do if they spoke only four languages to that crowd? The twelve were given the ability to speak in a different “language” than they previously knew. BUT, it was in a “language” that those in the crowd could understand. More simplification let’s say Peter spoke previously unknown French so the people in the crowd who spoke French could receive the message in their known “language.” It was never some made up gibberish that no one could understand or interpret.

Evidently you have never heard about the great outpouring of the Holy Ghost in the early 1900s . It’s common knowledge and wasn’t hidden . It all started when a holiness preacher started a Bible school in Topeka Kansas back in the late 1800s . He ask his students to study about the Holy Spirit while he left on a preaching engagement. When he returned he ask what they had found about the Holy Spirit . They had found that when people were saved in the New Testament they spoke in tongues . So he ask why were we not speaking in tongues? So they started praying for the infilling of the Holy Ghost . This went in for some time and nothing happened . Then again they ask why they weren’t receiving the Holy Ghost? One of the girls in the school said “ the Bible says when the Apostles laid their hands on the new converts they began to speak in tongues “. So Bro.Parom laid his hands on them and began to pray for them to receive the Holy Ghost. . At midnight on January 1 1901 the Holy Ghost fell and one by one they all received the Holy Ghost and spoke in tongues . From that first experience it spread to the state of Texas where great revivals began to pop up everywhere these young Holy Ghost filled people went and spread the message . It went to California by a black man by the name of Bro Seamore . After some time of cottage prayer meetings the Holy Ghost began to fall in Los Angeles and people began to speak in tongues . There was a revival that lasted for over three years 24 hours a day 7 days a week. There were tens of thousands of people that came to that revival from all over the world and received the Holy Ghost and spoke in tongues . People were healed of ever sickness you can imagine and the lame were healed . Some came in wheel chairs that couldn’t walk were totally healed . From that revival that message has reached around the world . Today people from countries all over the world are receiving the Holy Ghost at the rate of about 50,000 a day . Even in my ministry I’ve seen many people receive the Holy Ghost and speak in tongues when they received it . I’ve prayed for the sick and seen them healed many times . I pray in Jesus name and he does the healing not me . You’ve come to late to tell me tongues, and all the gifts of the Spirit have ceased . My pastor just a few years ago went to a country in Africa with several other ministers and held a crusade where 6000 received the Holy Ghost and spoke in tongues and people were healed by the thousands . God doesn’t change and his word never changes . It’s because of unbelief that God doesn’t move . In the Old Testament there were miracles taking place all through the times between Moses and the end of the Old Testament. What about the book of Judges where Gideon by the miracle of God defeated an army of tens of thousands by three hundred men . Samson by the power of the Holy Ghost could kill a thousand men with a donkey jawbone . Throughout the Bible God preformed miracles like the three Hebrew children in the fury furnace , and Danial in the den of lions . Hebrews 13:8 says “ Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day , and forever “. It looks like you need a Bible study by someone who has the baptism of the Holy Ghost to teach you the ways of the Lord . I don’t mean that to sound mean or ugly but with all the love of God within me .

First of all I really enjoy most of your teaching. But on this one I was dismayed, and I dont believe your stance is Biblical. With respect sir, I must vehemently disagree with you. I did not believe in tongues until this sweet young pastor's wife prayed for me to receive the baptism of the holy spirit with tongues, which I had resisted for years. I still did not believe. However while praying in the shower every morning for weeks following, the spirit began teaching me a language much as I learned spanish in school. First small words and then an entire language welled up inside of me and I spoke it out loud. It is a heavenly language I employ when praying and is able to speak to God when I just cant find the words to express what I think and feel. I have also been told by my friend how she witnessed to several different people in foriegn languages that she had never spoken before, while she thought she was speaking english the entire time. How do you explain this? While I do not believe everyone must speak in tongues, I believe it is wrong for you to teach against it. Please pray and ask God to reveal the truth about this to you.

It is not up to us to tell the Holy Spirit when or where to use us to speak to others. I am an old lady and accepted Jesus at five years old. I was baptized in water and the Holy Spirit at 28 and I have spoken in tongues for over 40 years. I'm sure if it was not of God he would have let me know by now, but thank you.

What do these scriptures mean? There are many more, but this is already too long. Heres the thing, I dont know why you all are so rabid on this subject. Whether I do or do not speak in a heavenly language is between me and God, because I only speak it to God. It does no harm to anyone. So if you want to think me deluded that's fine. I dont approve of anyone telling people they "have to" speak in tongues, that is up to God. I didnt believe in tongues for years and only the Holy Spirit could have shown me that it's real.

@@Ben-Yosef it is not babbling, it is a language. I think you should read your Bible a little more carefully. The Bible says The Holy Spirit gives you "utterance" when your mind cannot think what to pray. Obviously it's not english if the utterance edifies your spirit, but your mind cannot comprehend. Why would the Holy Spirit need to use a literal earthly foriegn language during personal prayer time? The Bible also says that though you speak with the tongues of men and Angels and have not love, you are as a sounding brass or a tinkling symbol. Do you suppose Angels speak an earthly language? Tongues are a language between you and God; a language which satan cannot understand. I'm sorry that you have closed your mind to the power of the Holy Spirit. However, speaking in tongues existed long before the Mormons and I believe most Christians dont know anything at all about what Hindus do or dont do, as if we copied them, so that's not at all relevant to this discussion. Also I am not at all concerned for myself, because I know speaking in tongues was a gift from God. Why does the Bible say that you should not speak in tongues in the assembly, unless there is someone to interpret, if it were intended only to speak to someone in their own language? Obviously if that were the case, the person being addressed would understand and interpret. I cannot pray as Yeshua (Jesus) did, because he didnt pray in English, and I am sure he and his father had other ways of communicating as well.

Second, yes there is indeed many people "faking" and this would be the vast majority as true speaking in tongues is somewhat of a rare occurrence by comparison and is truly an amazing event to witness and behold even more so to be a part of and there is an enormous difference between true actual "speaking in tongues" and the vain meaningless actions seen across so very many churches often not knowing any better and worse many of the people involved often manage to deceive even themselves attributing to God that which is not of God and that itself should be a cause for concern. That said though, the bottom line to your question is that most people are indeed "faking" but there is also very real actual "speaking in tongues" that is still happening today just as it did in Bible times and though a smaller minority by comparison it does indeed very much happen today!

Make no mistake,, that concerning the scriptural mandate for salvation,, John Barnett departs from sound scriptural teaching and is a false teacher who denies the power of the Holy Ghost If you read the context of {1corinthians ch.13} it does not say that tongues have ceased??. There are millions of people worldwide,, including myself that have partaken of this essential aspect of been born of water and of the spirit {BORN AGAIN} of the which John ch.3 says and affirms that you cannot enjoy the privileges of the heavenly realm,, unless you have been initially born again The whole of chapter 13 is giving reference to whatever gift you may possess,, and whatever your ability or natural talent,, ..without charity or motivated by love these things become as sounding brass or a tinkling cymbal {verse 1}.i.e they are empty and void without much substance. The chapter goes on to say however when that which is perfect is come i.e. Jesus 2nd coming,, then that which is in part will cease. ...But please note the other things of that same chapter that will also cease ...prophecies they will cease....knowledge shall vanish away....whether there be tongues they shall cease...... but Charity never faileth So all these things are obviously still in use today,, and will not cease until that which is perfect has come..................I hope and pray that this now is more scriptural and clear. for you

I have decided that the power of God is in the preaching of the gospel. The preacher on the corner or behind the pulpit speaking the whole truth of the gospel. After all it is a two-edged sword. It was the word that entered my ear then convicted my spirit of what a horrible hideous creature I was. Terror filled my whole being. I told God how sorry I was that I did all my evil against him. In all my years of carousing, cheating and just bulldozing my way through my life and the lives of others it was the truth preached that changed my mind. I got home and I saw the toilet bowl in the bathroom at the end of the hall and I fell on my knees and cried out again that I was so sorry and so ashamed of what I'd been doing. I told him I understood then that that wasn't what he created food for and I was so sorry and I asked for his forgiveness. At that moment compulsion was gone! I had been practicing bulimia for 20+ years, it was killing me and I could not stop and my stomach and my throat and my esophagus hurt hurt hurt. At this point my demons weren't hiding anymore they were cheering me on because I believe they knew I was close to dying from my hateful practice. A month after my rebirth I lay in my bed and a huge male figure appeared standing next to me. He was in a coverall like fencers or racecar driver and built like a world-class athlete. So tall his head was through the ceiling, so I thought. This thing was emanating hate; seething boiling venomous hatred. I didn't know much of the word of God but I remembered that "we are not given the spirit of fear" that's all I knew of that verse and yet it worked and he disappeared and I slept. Sometime after the comforter and helper let me know that my strongman wasn't too tall for the room but at the moment I repented and was truly sorry was when he was beheaded. Also that the hate from that thing was what I took into myself to destroy myself. After a while the demon came back with seven more even worse and they did attack, oh boy they told me my mother didn't want, my aunt took me in bc she had to but she didn't want me and the people at that church don't want me either so they said I needed to return to them bc they want me. I hung onto the scriptures of what it says about the number of hairs on my head, that he knew me from my mother's womb, from the foundation of the earth. They left me but the attacks kept happening and they would do all they could to keep me from calling out the name of Jesus. I don't speak in tongues, I don't prophecy I study, I pray I watch and do my best to keep watch as for like a thief in the night. I am saved

There is a language that Scripture talks about that even the person praying does not comprehend with his own mind. It is a communication between that person's spirit and God alone. Why does God allow such communication? Ask God. Just because *you* do not understand what is going on does not mean God is not in it. Evil, too, has an unknown language not known to man. And he uses it to curse. If you reject God's discernment, you allow your ignorance to open spiritual doors into your life that you had no intention of opening. " *My* people (not unbelievers) perish for lack of knowledge." This teacher has many good points, but be discerning of all of God's Word and wisdom.
The ego only gets in the way when people misuse it. It is not for show. It is sacred and a gift.

DTBM…..The gift of healings, in my experience, is related to an anointing. When the anointing isn't there, you can't heal anyone. Not sure Paul could turn it on and off as he desired. It's as the H.S. wills. God healed a little three year old sitting on my lap of the Failure To Thrive Syndrome one night. I felt it. Not physically, but, spiritually. This overwhelming feeling of love was flowing into her. I met the girl, and her foster parents, for the first time that evening. I was obsessed with holding her. I just had to hold her. I had never felt such love in a place as I did at this house we were in, I might add. It was a house church my daughter wanted me to take her to. We shared a meal together every week before we'd get started. The very first night we were there, I sat her on my lap, and placed a plate of food in front of her. She wasn't eating solid food well. I started saying she's healed. You're not going to have a problem anymore, she's healed. She started eating right there, and then, and, from then on. She didn't talk either, since in foster care. We met the following week, and we all prayed for her together, as a group this time. I didn't think we needed to. I believed she was entirely healed. But, we prayed. I didn't feel the anointing this time. But, that night, after they took her home. She shocked them both, and hasn't stopped talking, or, growing since. lol. I don't want to be a "Faith Healer". It may never happen again. But, you couldn't convince me if your life depended on it, that God didn't heal her that night. Would I like to have that anointing on me again that I experienced that night? I'd be lying if I said I didn't. It was awesome. I want the Lord to use me, as He wills. I will continue to seek His face on such matters. I don't live by the experiences I've had with the Lord, but, by every Word that proceeds from Him, and His written Word. I can't deny the gifts. I won't deny the gifts. They are a part of my walk with Him. I was fearful of the gifts, especially speaking in tongues. Cause I had been taught they were from the devil. And maybe he does give counterfeits. But, the Holy Sprit is true, and does not lie. I put my trust in God. Be blessed brother. I'm new to your site. But, of the videos I've watched. This is the only one I've disagreed with you on. But, thank you for sharing what the Lord has shared with you. God bless you.

After making one comment and reading many others, may I just say this. Speaking in tongues is not about salvation or the lack of it, so let's not argue. If tongues is not for you, so be it, but do not begrudge others if it is for them. Brothers and sisters let us love one another, for love is of God. The tongue is the smallest part of the body and very sharp to inflict wounds that cannot be seen, but cut straight to the heart. Let us not wound one another, for we will be held accountable to God for our words.

Paul. (God) didn't say to cease speaking in tongues. In fact, Paul said that he spoke in tongues more than you all (the church). Paul cautioned the speaking of tongues in church because it could lead to confusion amongst the unbelievers. He reminded them that speaking in tongues edifies oneself but doesn't edify those who don't understand the tongues. He said that speaking in tongues should (in church) be limited to 1 or 2 at the most. And, tongues should be followed by an interpreter so that everybody would be edify. Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever. I'm not going to limit God by saying this gift has ceased. And yes, I do pray and sing in tongues as well as English. Tongues is my heavenly language. Also, at times God does give the ability to speak in unknown languages (unknown to me). God never ceases to amaze me. He has also used me in prison ministry even on death row. When asked by them if they can also receive the baptism of the Holy Spirit. I just put it in God's hands praying if it be His will baptize them with His Holy Spirit. It's amazing when a death row inmate begins to pray in a heavenly prayer language. The guards are even amazed by the change God has brought upon these prisoners. God also has used me at times to heal someone. I am not the healer, God is. I'm just a vessel that He uses to display His love and miracles as He wills. Although, we may disagree on some things it's okay because we belong to the family of God. I commend you for doing the work that God has given you to do. God bless you and your ministry. Your sister in Christ.

Have you spoken in other languages (tongues) as the Disciples did on the day of Penetcost. They were speaking in known languages of the devout visitors in Jerusalem., such as Parthians, Medes, Elamites, dwellers in Mesopotamia, Judaea and about 10 other tongues....They were preaching the Gospel in those languages which surprised the visitors as they knew the men as speaking these tongues were Galilaeans. There as also a mighty rushing wind from heaven and it appeared as though cloven tongues as of fire sat upon them. You can find this in Acts 2:1-17... . Acts 2:1-17 King James Version (KJV) 2 And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. 2 And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. 3 And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them. 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. 7 And they were all amazed and marvelled, saying one to another, Behold, are not all these which speak Galilaeans? 8 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? 13 Others mocking said, These men are full of new wine. 14 But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice, and said unto them, Ye men of Judaea, and all ye that dwell at Jerusalem, be this known unto you, and hearken to my words: 15 For these are not drunken, as ye suppose, seeing it is but the third hour of the day. 16 But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel; 17 And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams:

But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. 9 For we know in part and we prophesy in part, 10 but when completeness comes, what is in part disappears." You said this is the verse and why you support Cessationism--- so if tongues have ceased then so has prophecies, then so has knowledge!. That verse does not end with tongues and the Bible never said that tongues, prophecies, or knowledge has ceased! It points to a time "when the completeness comes" or But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away. Paul spoke in tongues more than anyone.

@Polo Da Red Hulk I thank the Lord this isn't a "salvation issue" because if it was, many would be unsaved thinking they were saved. The passages in I Corinthians are difficult for the saved and virtually impossible for the unsaved to understand correctly. For your edification, I would point out that prophecy and knowledge were gifts operating before the last book of scripture was complete, in other words, when the canon was closed. The word "knowledge" in that case meant "word of knowledge", a gift of the Spirit passing knowledge to a believer that couldn't come from any other source than God. Also, prophecy was a gift some had in order to preach salvation before the scriptures were complete, i.e., the Bible is "that which is perfect." I don't think it fitting for Jesus Christ to be addressed as "that." Do you? No, "that which is perfect" coming was the completed Word of God in written form rather than spoken words.

If you follow church history, there is a common thread of supernatural manifestations of the Holy Spirit that continues on and off for the past 2000 years. Mainline churches like the Catholics have persecuted anyone who experienced power in their faith to put down threats to a carnal and lifeless religious tradition. Cessationism is always based on 1) It has never happened here or in church history, so those gifts must be history, and 2) Dubious interpretations of obscure passages like the one where Paul predicts that tongues will cease when that which is perfect shall come. You come to cesdationism by defining the perfect as the Bible text rather than defining it as the only perfect one who has ever lived and who promised to return, Jesus Christ.

But I knew my God is greater and he can heal me, with faith we prayed and my back was healed, praise the Lord our God, I could go on and on about testimonies of how wonderful and amazing our God is and the countless lives hes changed, healed, and set free. Notice, Jesus always said "your faith has healed you, now go and sin no longer". The reason people dont get healed is because they dont believe and have faith that they can or will be healed. Now dont get me wrong, I know there are false prophets and false "staged" healings that go on and it's very sad. But for those God said he has reserved a special place in the Lake of Fire. But dont allow those few to deceive you into thinking that God no longer does miracles. Our God is almighty, all powerful, all seeing, all knowing, and capable of doing all things.

Also, Acts 19:4- Paul said, “John’s baptism was a baptism of repentance. He told the people to believe in the one coming after him, that is, in Jesus.” 5 On hearing this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. 6 When Paul placed his hands on them, the Holy Spirit came on them, and they spoke in tongues[b] and prophesied. 7 There were about twelve men in all.

The doctrine that goes with “tongues” is just wrong on every level. My experience with this was like a three ring circus. God had NOTHING to do with that. I agree they’ve ceased. Also, I don’t think Acts 5 actually says that people were healed by Peter’s shadow. 5:14-15, “And all the more believers in the LORD, multitudes of men and women, were constantly being added to their number, to such an extent that they carried the sick out into the streets and laid them on cots and pallets, so that when Peter came by, at least his shadow might fall on any one of them.” I think this was a Jewish belief that our shadows were extensions of ourselves. But no text (unless I’m missing it) says anyone was healed by his shadow. I do see it with Paul in Ephesus, 19:11-12, but not Peter. I APPRECIATE YOUR TEACHINGS!!!

He is absolutely correct. When we are redeemed, we won't have any of the nine gifts of the Holy Spirit operating in us anymore. That's the "perfect" I'm waiting for. But, until that time comes, the nine gifts of the Holy Spirit are still in operation. It's how we walk by the spirit, and not fulfill the lusts of the flesh. I have a spirit body, and it has functions. It has ears, that hear what the spirit of the Lord is saying. When I hear with my spirit, I don't hear with my physical ears. I hear with my spiritual ears, then I get understanding (I don't know how that works, but it does), and I can then tell you what the Lord told me, or, not. I've been told to tell some things to people that He's told me to share. When I have visions, open visions, I see what the Lord is showing me like an overlay. Can't explain how that works either. But, it does. Everything is according to His timing. With most of the visions I've had, I didn't get understanding right away. I had multiple visions, spanning over 15 to 20 years, concerning the RNC, held here in Cleve. Ohio, in 2016. He didn't put them all together for me until about 2 months before the event, then I understood. It was awesome. When I pray in tongues, there's different ways I pray. Sometimes I get the interpretation as I'm praying. Then I speak with my understanding, and I speak in tongues. Back and forth like. Sometimes I don't get the interpretation till the next day, or, later. Sometimes when I'm meditating on scripture, or, listening to a sermon, talking to the Lord, it varies. Sometimes I get very forceful, or, sound tough in my prayers. When that happens, I stop speaking with tongues, and start interpreting, and what's happening is spiritual warfare, binding, and loosing spirits, etc. At those times I pray in tongues, and then with understanding, back, and forth. It's just different ways, at different times. But, actually, I don't have the gift of tongues, that's something different also. I just have a prayer language. We are suppose to be filled with the Holy Spirit. When our spirits, are reborn, it's like Adam, and Eve, walking in the garden. He walks along side us, and talks with us. And shows us things to come. The gifts of the Holy Spirit work when He wants them to, and as He wills. We just need to learn how to work with Him, and cooperate. Most people ignore Him. 1 Cor 2:11, "For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God. It's sad that the devil not only has counterfeit signs, and wonders. But, he's convinced the Church that the gifts of the H.S. have ceased. I had been taught that, too. But, I knew something wasn't right about it. We must not grieve, or, quench, the Holy Spirit. He's given to us to help, and comfort us, and reveal Christ to us. No, we're not receiving New Revelation. He says to have the mind of Christ. Head knowledge may be good, but its flesh. Knowledge revealed by God to you, like Peter received, is life changing, and spiritual. Our spirits walk in darkness, and considered dead, before regeneration. But, after regeneration, we walk in the light. We receive revelation, after revelation, after revelation, and our light becomes brighter, and brighter, and brighter, as we grow in the revealed knowledge of Jesus Christ. May we all grow in the knowledge of Him.

I have a two questions then....If Christians don't have any of the spiritual gifts, then why is it that the people that believe they have them, (whichever gift(s) it may be), actually have or use them? Why would the Bible say that the Holy Spirit distributes them as he wills?

@jamig.72543 жыл бұрын
It most certainly can be interpreted. Speaking in tongues is to edify a church. And someone else is given the gift to interpret the meaning before the congregation. If this does not take place, then know with certainty it is not from God. Refer to the Bible verse explaining Spiritual Gifts.

Hi. I do not speak in tongues and have no desire to. But I had a dream from God indicating that I was to Moe to the mountains and did so for 7 years. I as a new Christian had the Holy Spirit fall on me with a supernatural joy. Once being extremely distressed I turned on the radio to a Christian radio station in hope and the broadcaster stopped and talked to me in the conviction of sin I was distressed about. Once as I was coming home from work I asked the Lord to put 50 dollars in my mailbox and there was 50 dollars in my mailbox.

I need money to rebuild my house and did an income tax form saying I made $34,700. No one would give me a loan. One day I got a real check in the mail from Wells Fargo for $3,480. I do have to repay it back at $170. a mth for 3 years. I didn't even apply for it. I really need the $30-40 thousand. So I will mail in the tax form with the amount I want them to think I make. After a few days I will apply to some private lenders. After I get the money once they see that I did a tax form, they check those out to see if you actually did send one in. I will then reverse the form to the IRS. I explain that I had to get money to fix my house up and the place required a tax form. I didn't make the money as I am on disability and get only $780 a month. which is true. Now once I fix the house, I will take in Elderly people and they will make the payments to who ever I get the money from. This does work, I did it before for $6,800. I am paying $11,000 something back on that one until next year for 4 years I have been at it. That place are theives. One Main Financial. You have to fill out a form and reverse what you sent to the IRS. Then explain why. No money coming in, they can not take money from you.

Yes and no. Yes the Spirit intercedes with groanings too deep for words. He knows your heart when you can't even express. The Spirit intercedes so you don't have to speak at all, just focus on what you're praying about. No, He does not pray through you in some other language. That would still be words, and it would be the reverse how prayer works.

I’ve commented on this video before. I’ve changed my views to a cessationism position. Relistening to this I’m confused about saying a prayer language is ok. I only read 1 Corinthians 14 this morning. If the argument is that people spoke in other languages that people could understand, where does the prayer language come from?
@geraldnichols27224 жыл бұрын
Apostle Paul wrote about the sign gifts during the transition time between the fall (God concluded them in unbelief Rom. 9-11)of Israel and Paul's preaching the gospel of the Cross (grace). Some still had the gifts though they were being gradually fading away. Before Paul's death, he had lost his gift of healing and had to tell the sick to get treatment, e.g. "take a little wine." And he wrote, "I left Epaphroditus sick." It is difficult to know but I believe the "prayer language" was a real language that no one in the church understood, so they could not benefit from hearing it.

I myself have spoken in a prayer language for many years. I have chosen to not anymore. I can’t see any biblical basis for it. Any references I have seen now appear to be a misunderstanding of the context. Thank you for your reply.which scriptures do you associate with the prayer language? Is it solely 1 Corinthians 14:4?

My friend, I beg to differ! Let me tell you a story. One night I and a friend were sharing the Lord with a Muslim college student. When we starting talking to him about the Holy Spirit we got on the gifts of the Holy Spirit and my friend says, these are the first words I received in tongues. When he said the phrase the Muslim man fell to his knees and said, you just said in Aramaic, Your Heaven, Your Heaven is Calling Me! He received Jesus as his Lord and Savior right then and there on his knees! Sounds a bit like what happened in Acts 2! Blessings!

Hallelujah! I have heard a couple of stories like this before. God used an encounter with an unbeliever to convey a message with the gift of tongues that turned out to be a language the unbeliever understood. The unbeliever was so stunned that they couldn’t deny that Jesus is real and alive.

1) You are a wonderful teacher and communicator, and I have really enjoyed many of your other videos. 2) Thanks for admitting right up front that you are a cessationist; at least you're honest about that fact. 3) Please define exactly what you mean by 'cessationist.' Regardless, I'll take a stab at framing the picture: In defining the manifestation of God's power and gifts as non-normative since, say, the death of John the Beloved, as I suspect you do, I believe you make the fundamental mistake that all cessationists seem to make: you confuse what is with what should be, the 'what is' being your desire, experience, manpower-tradition and, dare I say, pride; the 'what should be' being Scripture. In other words, you can really only justify the period and padlock you place on the book of Acts with carnal rationale and man's tradition, not Scripture itself. Are you not teaching as precepts the doctrines of man? As a jumping off point, how do you explain Matthew 3:11, and parallel verses in Mark, Luke and John?

The Bible says of all the gifts the greatest is Love. Cant you disagree with me without making sniping remarks? I have not attacked you because we disagree. You wont persuade anyone by being mean. I am not harming you by speaking to God in a language that he gave me. The Holy Spirit taught me just a surely as you learned English or whatever in school. I am also bilingual and recognized that words were being conjugated in my spirit. What the Bible refers to as a river of living water flowing from my belly.
