This is better translated, “to a god.” The Greek text has no definite article (see similar translation in Acts 17:23, “the unknown god”). Their gibberish was worship of pagan deities. The Bible records no incident of any believer ever speaking to God in any other than normal human language. Corinthians using the counterfeit ecstatic speech of paganism were not interested in being understood, but in making a dramatic display. The spirit by which they spoke was not the Holy Spirit, but their own human spirit or some demon; and the mysteries they declared were the type associated with the pagan mystery religions, which were espoused to be the depths that only the initiated few were privileged to know and understand. Those mysteries were totally unlike the ones mentioned in Scripture (e.g., Matt. 13:11; Eph. 3:9), which are divine revelations of truths previously hidden. This is why context matters.

@@LindseyDisney Satan quoted scripture too. You must know the context and use it correctly. Satan celebrates when people twist God’s word. Quoting scripture out of context is one of Satan’s greatest tricks.

Speaking gibberish is a construct of your own mind. Tongues are real but they are LANGUAGES not psychobabble that has no meaning. Please don't deceive yourself. This is a learned false form of tongues. Just because other sheep do it to seem "Set apart" doesn't mean you should follow them off a cliff of deception. YAH bless you, beloved.

@@JoeyAnthonyGuerra We as the Body of Christ filled with the Holy Ghost and given the gift of speaking in tongues is not Pyscho jibberish. Your are speaking against the Holy Ghost and the power of God that he chooses to give unto His people who are Born again, Repented and Baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. John 3:3, Acts 2:38. You are help accountable for what you speak of against God and His chosen people. You really need to do some serious in depth studying up on gifts of the spirit and what is available to us today as the church and body of Jesus Christ. God forbid we don't walk in no power through Christ and operate in His spiritual gifts for the Kingdom. There is a very good reason God tells us in His word that " My people shall perish for a lack of knowledge".

Amen

Sorry, to say, that is a very dangerous way to believe that.please report back to God, by what you just said. You will be surprised, by the answer you will get. The devil's spirit is all over. Be careful that you not busy with the wrong spirit's just a worning?

The purpose for tongues is to spread the gospel. The scripture tells us in Acts 8:26 - "26 Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words.". The Spirit knows what our deepest groanings are and intercedes on our behalf to the Father.

he never spoke in tongues, he spoke in a fake made up tongue that he forced himself to do, and assumes everyone who speak in tongues is faking like he was.

Yep, I agree

But did Jesus tell them to tarry in Jerusalem Luke 24:49 ? Now if this the same Jesus I know , did he not know what would occur on the day of Pentecost ?

Eer yes he did - Mark 16:17 And these signs will accompany those who believe: In my name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new tongues;

@@JoBo301 They will drive out demons, they will speak in new tongues - continue that. Do you also handle snakes and drink poison? If not why not.

To my understanding, It’s a spiritual gift for some a sign of the holy spirit, it’s edifying for yourself to help unbelievers believe, to pray in the spirit when you don’t know what to pray for.

Sorry i dis agree with with that. Jesus died for us, not Paul. Even Paul mansion that in his writing"s. In the 4 gospels , not even Jesus who is our example, pray in toungs, through out the gospel. We as believes, we don't read with a prayerful understand. We just grab hold of something, and apley it to our life's. Which is very wrong, Jesus wornd us, he who has an ear let him hear. Jesus repeat it in the gospel and in the book of Revelation. The way we talk to each other now, that's how God what's us to talk to Him. The gospel has spread to moust parts of the world. And many people all around the world hear the gospel already . The gift of tounge's is not so important like it was in the early church. Everyone at least, knows about Jesus so far. The one's that don't yet, will know soon as well. Jesus said before He return back to earth, everyone will know the truth, i mean everyone. 2 Peter 3:9, is more important than, speaking in tongues? Worry about your shellvation. Getting ready for heaven, then to pray in toungs. I believe God is not please by the way believes, are making a morckery out of the speaking in tongues. My God have mercy on all of those that speaking and praying in tongues . Don't miss understand Paul? To day's tongues, are the Satan's tongues and many people are not even aware of is, be careful just a worning out there. What i said now, take it to the Lord in prayer. That's all what i can say to thous that are reading this. Have a great day.

Why do you speak in tongues when praying to God? What language are you speaking?

Ask the LORD God, by what spirit do you speak?

DONT KNOW WHERE YOU "READ" PAUL SAY THAT IN THE 4 GOSPELS... THAT'S RIGHT, YOU DIDNT READ IT!!! SOMEBODY TOLD YOU THAT, OR YOU HEARD IT FROM SOMEBODY THAT IS AS CONFUSED AS A TERMITE IN A YO- YO IN A HURRICANE... AND YOU RAN WITH IT... JESUS DID SPEAK IN "OTHER TONGUES"!!

​@@EarlMaphike-st5plHi I want to understand something. Are you saying what Paul said about tongues was him being disobedient to God and thus you exclude whatever Paul hath said? (Just an honest question, I want to understand)...

God bless everyone

I love your comment. As a black man coming out of the prosperity Pentecostal COGIC churches, I have had a true paradigm shift in my understanding of scripture. I have had a reset thanks to God! I'm happy for your growth!

Why would you have to or want to speak to God in tongues? What’s wrong with speaking to Him in your natural language? He will understand you!

⁠@@andreapwhite939exactly, after all, God created all of the known languages we hear & speak of today. He understands you in your native language. I absolutely agree here. Theres no point in speaking in another unknown language because know one’s going to understand you anyway so what’s the point? It doesn’t make you a better Christian too if you speak in tongues or not. Paul even says he rather us prophecy than speak in tongues.

@@andreapwhite939speaking to God in a tongue does not mean that it is wrong to speak to Him in our natural language. Paul said that he would do both. Do all speak in a tongue is what the Bible says. Conversely if God has allowed us to have the gift of tongues why is that wrong? It’s not wrong according to the scriptures to speak in a tongue if God allows one to. I for one want all that God has for me. If that is or is not speaking in a tongue so be it! But I will not twist scriptures based on whether or not it makes sense to my natural understanding.

@@mattysqueezesofficialYes God created the our natural languages. God also created tongues. He understands us in our “native” language AND HE understand stands us when we pray in the Spirit speaking mysteries. You said that it doesn’t make one a better Christian, but the scriptures says that it edifies the one speaking. It doesn’t mean that it makes one a “better “ Christian “ comparing to another Christian who does not speak in tongues. No.. the Bible does not teach that. Looking at the context of scripture it clearly teaches tongues. We cannot or should not read scripture filtered through our desires, natural understanding, or whether or not we don’t have that particular gift… What we should do is allow scripture to shape and mold our beliefs and opinions. Paul did say that it is better to prophesy than to speak in a tongue… but what is the entire context? He was referring to in a public setting. Having said that Paul said that he speaks in tongues more than all of them and that the solution was to do both. He also said that not all speak in a tongue.

​@@andreapwhite939So true. Some even believe they can get prayers answered better as if God's mind can be changed by magic noises

Exactly. God would never have someone babble. If he make you speak it would be for someone to hear.

​@@halgo46 lol.. your comment is funny because God literally confounded the people's languages at the Tower of Babble in order that their communication turned into babble.

This is honestly the best simplest question that debunks there argument perfectly. Becuz I know not one person that "speaks in tongues" is going to be able to answer it.

I speak in Tongues and interpret. I understand those passages. They are clear. The mind jumps to all the wrong experiences then read into that makes it seem unclear. Example, we don't teach people we lead people in Tongues. One key is that Interpretation is interpretation and not translation. Can I get a hearing. I will put up a video this weekend by 12/11/23. I'm not apart of the "Spirit and Truth" here on KZfaq but they have it correct in their teaching also. They have a 4 part series. In our Church it take about 30 hours just to make sure people understand the scriptures on being born again and the gift of holy spirit then tongues is very clear. It is hard to do equations without understand your time table.

I use the same argument... how can it be the Holy Spirit when it's never done as the Scripture commands... and I used to speak in tongues myself.... Not anymore!!

That's the ridiculous reality of it. The Holy Spirit who is perfect in all His ways becomes imperfect when giving the gift of tongues by not giving the translation of it in equal measure. That's how you know the gibberish we hear uttered is completely fake and not from God.

​@@certaindisciple1981you keep saying ( I ) should say the Holy Spirit because if you say the Holy Spirit is speaking and interpreting tongues there are consequences when people lie.

I truly believe this. I only know of 2 people in my lifetime and at this point, I'm 61 and said 2 people has since gone to glory, real spiritual people that spoke in an unknown and unscripted language. I've heard that language and you just be knowing that its authentic. All that stuff you hear on stage and in pulpits are not legit at all, y'all need to stop it. Holala Shoboshia is NOT real tongues. The real tongue language is "unpronounceable" to anyone else but the person speaking it and God and no one else. When you hear it, you know that it is a language not of this earth and it is NOT for you to interpret because you are not designed intellectually to be able to do so.

Interpret it , it’s right there in scripture

no, that is NOT what paul was referring to. I have this gift and GOD allows me to speak in tongues and other Christians will understand what i am saying in ENGLISH , while i speak in UNKNOWN TONGUES. God will give some people the interpretation or allow others who don't speak ENGLISH to understand it in there OWN language . Most people who are against or speaking against tongues have never spoke in tongues , don't have a deep prayer life , etc. and have no experience with it .

First of all Corey can't be referenced as a Reverend there is only one who is to be referenced. And as far as speaking in tongues we speak to God not knowing what we're saying but God does. Tongues can't be tested only prophecy.

1 Corinthians 14:27-28 New King James Version (NKJV) If anyone speaks in a tongue, let there be two or at the most three, each in turn, and let one interpret. But if there is no interpreter, let him keep silent in church, and let him speak to himself and to God. Moreover, (I believe that this means there should be an interpreter, otherwise, someone could be swearing in the church in a tongue they know but no other person understands)

Yep. Today's gibberish tongues speakers are very proud of their gift. Everytime Ive talked with one, they insulted my salvation and told me I just don't have the spirit. They defend it in the same way that people defend false prophets

1 Corinthians 14:14 For if I pray in an unknown tongue, my spirit prayeth, but my understanding is unfruitful. 1 Corinthians 14:15 What is it then? I will pray with the spirit, and I will pray with the understanding also: I will sing with the spirit, and I will sing with the understanding also.

I Agree,,,

"For he who speaks in a tongue does not speak to men but to God, for no one understands him; however, in the spirit he speaks mysteries." 1 Cor 14:2 I don't see how any known human language is what Paul means here. All human languages are spoken to men. Tongues is speaking mysteries by the Holy Spirit to God, not men. Where's the confusion?

If it's a known language, someone should be available to interpret it. Follow God's commandment. Simple as that!!! Too much gibberish is being spoken. I once belonged to a church in which a prosperity preacher would speak in gibberish, and he had a partner to interpret the gibberish to scam the congregation out of money. BEWARE!!!!

⁠@@py20I agree with the scripture shared in the first half but on the day of Pentecost the tongues were certainly known, man-made languages. I believe tongues is both.

@@py20if you read the rest of that chapter and the context, you’d see that Paul is against speaking in tongues if there is nobody there to interpret what you’re saying. If you truly speak in tongues and are not forcing yourself to do it, do it alone. Because when you do it in front of people without an interpreter, you’re edifying yourself and not the church.

@@Mightyccc The abuse and misuse of tongues is real and ought to be denounced and corrected. But we can acknowledge the abuse without rejecting tongues as unbiblical. The two are not the same, my brother.

Hi, Sue, I hope that you will pray and ask God whether or not your gift of speaking in tongues was by The Holy Spirit or was it something manufactured by your own mind. God bless you, Dave ❤️🙏🏾

You think Speaking in tongues is jibberish?? That is garbage!! Your being decieved. Your allowing others to decieve you. There is speaking in tongues with a prayer language and speaking in tongues to the church that needs an interpreter!!

You can't put tongues away, unless you are out of fellowship with Christ. I was given the gift of tongues at an early age and had it until I went into the world. While I was in the world, there were no tongues. When I rededicated myself to Christ and became submissive to Christ the holy spirit of tongues came back.

@@fruitfullifewithlizgAmen!!

@@fruitfullifewithlizg Amen! That is 100% truth. I did the same thing so can vouch for your testimony. God is so Great to never give up on us.

God Bless you and your family.. Each day put on the whole armour of God (Ephesians 6:10-17) and be ready for battle as He opens doors to work the fields for lost souls.

For real. It seems more about pride with people. If tongues were a real supernatural gift, then we wouldn't need faith because we'd have proof

​@@cowel8734Love your comment!!

The context of Jude is what? He is arguing for a defense of the faith and then encourages the body to build up ἑαυτοὺς "plural accusative" yourselves. In context and in view of EVERY OTHER passage about building up others, and since we don't see another passage telling to build up yourself, then my point is made.

@@smartchristians Brother Corey I'll give you one verse and you let me know what "be strong" means since you know some Greek. But it seems to me that Paul is telling them to *strengthen themselves* in the Lord based in the definition below and the fact that he tells them to take up the armor. And we each need to do this for ourselves. Yes, it's a different Greek word, but Paul is telling them to do something for themselves. To take upon the armor of God. And thus, when they do so they are helping to strengthen the whole body. Ephesians 6:10 Finally, my brethren, *be strong* in the Lord and in the power of His might. Greek: g1743. ἐνδυναμόω endynamoō; from 1722 and 1412; to empower: - enable, (increase in) strength(-en), be (make) strong.AV (8) - be strong 3, strengthen 2, increase in strength 1, enable 1, be made strong 1; I think my original comment made it clear that Paul could be talking about each person edifying themselves through prayer, but it seems you argumentation stems from the fact that you can't find another verse that says the same thing. I just think that's poor hermeneutic because that allows you to reinterpret any idea that is stated once into whatever you want it to say. But hopefully Ephesians 6:10 will at least give you something to hold on to here. Again, to be completely clear though, edifying yourself for your own benefit only IS WRONG. But edifying yourself for the benefit of others is exactly what we should do. That's why we pray, read, study, seek after God is to edify ourselves for the benefit and edification of the whole body of Christ in order that we could a) defend the faith, which akins back to Ephesians 6:10 where Paul says strengthen yourself in the Lord.

@@smartchristians no reply on Ephesians 6:10 brother? Just curious honestly because it seems pretty clear to me but I could be wrong

I think Jude 20 implies “with the Holy Spirit”. Not Tongues. But we can see that the gift can also be used to build up the body(as it’s supposed to) or edify oneself. This is clearly done in acts 2. 1)They were speaking mysteries to God (the wonderful works of God) 2) people understood (Prophecy) If it’s not understood then (the gift) is being used wrong. Only edifying oneself. Nothing wrong with edifying ourselves but we are called to edify one another. This is why the GIFT of TONGUES is ONLY A SIGN GIFT. A gift none the less but it was only for a sign to the unbelieving Jews. Period. Understanding that it’s ONLY PURPOSE was a sign to the unbeliever is key to understanding this gift. Prophecy is for the believer.

That would mean unbelievers (hearers) were using the gift of interpretation, but they haven’t received the spirit yet so that narrative does not logically follow. Furthermore, it plainly says that the spirit came on the believers, and divided tongues fell on each of the believers, and THEY began to SPEAK in other languages. So if you read it in context it does say that the believers were the ones who began speaking in other languages as the spirit gave them ability. If they began to speak in other languages, then it logically follows that bystanders would hear them and understand them speaking in their own language. Contextually the miracle has nothing to do with the hearers, but rather the speakers.

​@@josiahmoeller8821amen

@@josiahmoeller8821 Which is why I rephrased in the first paragraph: " I guess you could say each of the apostles was speaking all languages, simultaneously."

This would take a few pages to explain properly; so, for the sake of brevity, I’m considerably simplifying and ‘bottom lining’ the below. At Pentecost, the Holy Spirit did not give the _language_ (i.e., the means/content) of the apostles’ speech, it gave the _manner_ in which it was spoken. The Holy Spirit gave the 12 apostles what in the Greek text is “apophtheggesthai”. This word is from “apophtheggomai” which is best translated as “to give bold, authoritative, inspired speech to”. Don’t go to Strong’s and look it up - “Strong’s” is a _concordance_ , not a lexicon; there’s a _huge_ difference. It refers *not* to the content/means of the speech (i.e., the language used), but rather to the *manner* of speaking. In each instance where this word occurs in scripture, the person's speech is bold, authoritative, and inspired, and it is always, by the way, in the speaker’s native language. Without going into what could be considerable detail, when looking at the “language wherein the attendees were born” there are only two: Aramaic and Greek. The Jews present at Pentecost came from three areas: Judea, the Western Diaspora and the Eastern Diaspora. “All nations under heaven” is an idiomatic expression - Acts II: 9-11 tells us where those visiting were from. Jews from Judea spoke Aramaic and some may have grown up speaking Greek. Jews of the Western Diaspora spoke Greek. Jews of the Eastern Diaspora spoke the languages of those countries, but it was never the language of "hearth and home", the language wherein they were born. That language was Aramaic. Think of immigrant communities here. They may all speak English to some degree, but it's certainly not what they're speaking at home and amongst themselves. To try and use another analogy - think of the Jewish Diaspora in Central and Eastern Europe prior to WWII. Many countries, many languages, and Jewish people living in these places spoke the local language in varying degrees of fluency. But it was _never_ their native language, the language of hearth and home, the language wherein they were born - that language was Yiddish. The one language that defined them as Jews no matter where they were from. Same situation in the 1st century Eastern Diaspora, the defining language (the equivalent of my analogy’s Yiddish) was Aramaic. Many lands, many places and people, but only two languages; Aramaic and Greek; and of course, the apostles spoke both. The “list of nations”, as it’s called, of Acts 2: 9-11 is simply that - a list of countries, lands and nations that tell us where these people were from; *not* what language(s) they spoke, as most people assume. Further, the idea that the “tongues” of Acts II was xenoglossy also stems from this false assumption. In the entire narrative not *one* language is ever referenced by name - ever wonder why? The miracle of language at Pentecost was making the God of the Jews accessible to all people and moreover, not having to do so in one prescribed language: namely, Hebrew, the sacerdotal language of Judaism. The crowd was expecting to hear Hebrew first followed by translations into Aramaic and Greek as was the tradition and practice of the day; what they got were Aramaic and Greek without Hebrew first. In Acts 2, the actual gift being emphasized is the fact that the Holy Spirit has empowered the disciples to _prophesy_ and to boldly proclaim the Word of the Lord, and this is exactly what we find in verse 14. Peter “lifted up his voice and _addressed_ them”, but perhaps a better translation would be that he lifted up his voice and _prophesied._ We tend to think of prophecy as a kind of foretelling of future events, but in the Hebrew use, it was more often associated with _speaking forth_ the Word of the Lord. I would argue that, if looking for a gift of the Holy Spirit to assign to Pentecost, it would be more the gift of Prophesy than of Languages. No xenoglossy, no modern tongues-speech, just real, rational language(s). There *was* a language miracle at Pentecost provided by the Holy Spirit, no argument there; just not the one most people assume. And of course, again, when the apostles received (were baptized in) the Holy Spirit, the only tongues (read ‘languages’) spoken as “initial evidence” thereof, were their own. In short, there was no “baptism of the Holy Spirit with initial evidence of tongues” at Pentecost, that’s a modern Pentecostal construct.

Which is fine. But why do we come to church to personally edify ourselves?

Where are you getting this from ? Scripture doesn't even suggest that there are 2 types of tongues .

@@gwenlucas4200 sister I'm not trying to be sarcastic or ignorant . I'm trying to be as respectful as possible . This is not a heaven or hell issue but it is a misunderstanding leading to a deception issue . Again like I said earlier . There is no scripture where Jesus taught His disciples to pray in tongues or He told them to pray in tongues privately . On the contrary He told His disciples not to repeat things over and over and don't make long prayer because people think they will be heard because of them . Jesus Christ could have easily told them to pray in tongues when the Holy Spirit comes but He didn't . The whole problem is people are taking a couple scriptures out of context based on man made church traditions.

V2 He that speaks in tongues speak not unto men but to God: for no man understands him; he utters mysteries with his spirit. When there is no interpreter, the tongue is private between you and God and only you are edified. And there are tongues spoken that are not private for which there is an interpretation that will benefit everyone.

These people are their own judge and god

The Bible says that there are mysteries within the context. So it is hard to understand and The Most High meant it to be hard to understand. Matthew 13:11-16 There are mysteries within the Bible that was given to the apostles. Parables were spoken to everyone else. So it is hard to understand what the Bible is saying if you are one of the ones that Jesus did not reveal it too. People had to be taught again about Jesus. The key word is “again.” You have to first have known of His Word in order to be taught AGAIN! Psalm 147:19-20 He showeth HIS WORD unto Jacob, His states and judgements unto ISRAEL!!! HE HAS NOT DEALT SO WITH ANY OTHER NATION! This may be over some people’s head but I have a question. Did Jacob see Jesus?

See, some people have their opinion or how they feel or what has been handed down from generation to generation, but the bible just like God is meant to simply believe and live your life with morals through faith if that makes since. I won't argue about it, and I won't debate it because that is why people are in bad shape in God's world. People are confused and don't know what to believe, so they believe in any doctrine or they don't believe at all. John 20: 29-31 simple.😊

If it’s not hard to understand why are there so many different interpretations in the topic? And if Corey is the problem why are there so many other people making discussions out of this topic? Common now. Don’t be rude

@princessm6355 I am not being rude, and I will not go back and forth with his followers. I thank God for Jesus Christ, and my salvation doesn't come from man, I am done. Be blessed.

Angels spoke human languages 😂

What in the world are you talking about? if you have the true gift of speaking in other languages as mentioned in scripture, you'll know that it didn't come from the Angels, but God/Holy Spirit.

TONGUES ARE KNOWN LANGUAGES. GOD SPOKE WITH ABRAHAM AND ISRAEL IN A KNOWN LANGUAGE. THE GIFT OF TONGUES WERE GIVEN TO PROMOTE THE GOSPEL TO PEOPLE SPEAKING DIFFERENT LANGUAGES ALL AROUND THE WORLD. FAKE TONGUES IS NOT FROM GOD FAKE TONGUES IS NOT FROM GOD GROW UP!

The Hindu is speaking tongues, and casting out demons, bringing poeple back from the dead. What spirit is doing this in them? Self proclaimed gurus!

@@thetruthchannel349That does not mean it was the thing to do,

@@thetruthchannel349 I'm curious: did any of the not-Paul Apostles have falling outs? Also, where do you get the information that Paul/Peter and Paul/Barnabas has fallings out?

@@thetruthchannel349Very helpful. =-\

@@thetruthchannel349 What are you talking about? This isn’t a matter of salvation, but one of disagreement. It is possible for two people who know Christ as Savior to have a civil conversation. Nothing looks worse in the eyes of the world than two believers in a public brawl over an issue that is not a matter of essential orthodox Christian doctrine. I understand extreme passion when the cross of Christ is being assaulted or the inerrancy of Scripture etc.Talking on some tongues can be discussed by Christians who disagree apart from it publicly looking like Big Time Westling or the WWE.

@@thetruthchannel349 Passion can either be controlled or out of control. Take a guess as to which is indicative of the self control produced by the Holy Spirit?

Me too!!❤❤

Me too. Cory was all over the place and with no comprehension or understanding

Did you not wonder why you didn't receive the gift of tongues in the Baptist Church or does the Holy Spirit who gives that gift not operate in Baptist churches and only in Pentecostal ones?🤔

​@@ifeifesiJust the same when Jesus couldn't perform much miracles In a particular town.... Faith...you speak faith not gibberish but as the Spirit give utterance.

Wasn't a Holy Spirit but a different spirit. Hinduism speak in tongues too you know. You went against scriptures in 1Cor 14 where Paul says not to speak unless there is understanding.

@@ifeifesi I knew why. Unbelief hinders the flow of God. They were word heavy and spirit impoverished, God wanted me to know His Spirit can be embraced as well as His word. Because of that experience I was prepared and recognized phase 2 of what would come in March of 95. I am not confused. That is. not the only thing that I experienced that evening in that Pentecostal church. I experienced a prophetic word . They didn't know me that was my first and last visit. but the Spirit of the Lord had spoken in July of 91 an utterance from Psalms 91 about fear not for I have given my angels charge over thee. I shared it with my husband but put it out of my mind. 6months later when I walked into that church in Chicago the Man of God who was preaching got silent and I didn't know why. He spoke to me, never seen me before or after said, young lady two angels came in with you. It was evident from my posture and facial expression I didn't believe him. Then he asked why was I staring at him in disbelief when The Lord Himself had revealed this to me. My knees got weak because I had heard it and shared it with my husband 6 months earlier. Just because I didn't understand certain things I didn't dismiss them nor did my husband. He said he didn't understand just wait on God He will reveal. God bless

@@christoprighteous8199 Apparently you did not read. I was in the house kneeled down to pray and came up speaking in tongues. I didn't do it it was done unto me and I was under the control of the Spirit from morning to evening. I knew it was of God. If I tried to put a cracker in my mouth He would not allow me to eat. I understand what Paul said but I was not under Paul's control. I was under the control of God. Paul also said that women were to keep silent in the Church but March of 95 I received Divine commission to preach the Gospel. Still fearful because I was in a Baptist Church but God made it unmistakable about his desire for my life so who do I obey? Jesus or Paul?. He led me on a remarkable journey so I would not misunderstand. I heard Bishop Morton say their Bishopric was through Peter's succession. The Lord bypassed Peter and Paul and Commissioned me that's why I stand solidly, not wavering. Even after the death of my husband of 44 years God is still with me

I speak in Tongues and interpret. I understand those passages. They are clear. The mind jumps to all the wrong experiences then read into that makes it seem unclear. Example, we don't teach people we lead people in Tongues. One key is that Interpretation is interpretation and not translation. Can I get a hearing. I will put up a video this weekend by 12/11/23. I'm not apart of the "Spirit and Truth" here on KZfaq but they have it correct in their teaching also. They have a 4 part series. In our Church it take about 30 hours just to make sure people understand the scriptures on being born again and the gift of holy spirit then tongues is very clear. It is hard to do equations without understand your time table.

@hayeschrist1 yes speaking tongues of different languages for the purpose of delivering he gospel after dying on the cross for us.

@hayeschrist1 exactly, these people don't believe. if they read the book of Mark and Matthew, they would get the understanding of how important having faith is to God.

John 8:43-44

I've asked a lot of ppl why do they need to speak gibberish instead of clear language? I also ask how do tongues help anyone or help prayer? If ppl say it helps get prayers answered, that means they believe they can use special words to get God to answer when God already knows. The truth is that it doesn't help anyone, but does make people feel like its proof of their relationship with God or proof they have the spirit. Almost like they need a sign or physical proof of God. Ive never gotten a single answer that was clear. They'll just say "it edifies me" and then they'll tell me I don't know God like they do or attack me in some other way Tongues does accomplish one thing and thats to chase new believers away or cause them to chase nonsense

But you can't build up others unless you too are built up. Jesus didn't go out in his ministry until he was endued with power AND he continually went back to the father privately to pray and fast to be strengthened for more ministry (I'm not saying he prayed in tongues btw)

@@BEABEREAN10 that's not necessarily true all the time but if that was the case thats not the issue here . The issue is what is Paul talking about ? Look at the whole chapter . Chapter 14 literally says tongues are a sign to unbelievers not believers . So like I said people read a couple of verses and don't read the whole thing to see the context .

@@kyledavis4040 1 Cor 14:1-19 are contrasting the gifts of the Spirit with prayer in tongues, the only verses about "prayer in tongues" are *1 Cor 14:2, 14-15, 18,* 2 For he who speaks in a tongue does not speak to men but to God, for no one understands [him]; however, in the spirit he speaks mysteries. ... 14 For if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prays, but my understanding is unfruitful. 15 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 also sing with the understanding. ... 18 I thank my God I speak with tongues more than you all;

@@studygodsword5937 no it's not at all . He's basically telling them there is no benefit to speaking in tongues because you don't understand what you are saying . When he says only God knows what you are saying and you are edifying yourself , it's not a good thing . Read the whole chapter and why you are at it read the chapters leading up to chapter 14 . In chapter 14 Paul literally says tongues is not a sign to believers but to unbelievers .

@@kyledavis4040 You can argue against the word if you want, but it is extremely foolish ! but if you think the word is wrong, can you tell me why ???

What is 100% repentance?

Brother, your entire post is based on a wrong interpretation of the texts. The Bible does not instruct us seek any power to speak in tongues as you have stated. You are making tongues some sort of superior gift. Paul even stated that the gift of prophecy is greater. Also, scripture says that it is the Holy Spirit that determines the distribution of the gifts and the measure of the gifts. There is nowhere in scripture where we are encouraged to seek the gift of speaking in tongues. We are called to pursue love and to earnestly desire the gifts of the Spirit. The gifts of tongues is for the spreading of the gospel as it was done in scripture.

Speaking in tongues will not get you into Heaven ,it was for a certain time, People today are not really speaking in tongues Galations 5:22-23 Paul talks about the fruit of the Spirit describing if you have the Holy Spirit what it will produce , meaning if you are born again the Spirit will manifest itself in this way , speaking in an unknown tongue is not a fruit of the spirit ,it was a gift for a certain time ,if you are born again you are a new creature in Christ, if any man be in Christ he is a new creature ,again doesnt mention anything about tongues

I pray that God will open your eyes to the spirit that makes you think it is of HIM. God is not the author of confusion and if you don't know what you are saying, then it is confusion. Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which CANNOT BE UTTERED. [Romans 8:26 KJV]

Rom 8:26 ha nothing to do with speaking in an unknown tongue Get truly born again and you wont have to worry about speaking in an unknown tongue

So that is two different events at very different times....so which one is it?

@@BEABEREAN10 prophacy (another signed gift) also ended..thus we don't add to scripture

Amen

@@redwine65 .

@@redwine65 "the signed gifts ended when the church was established among the gentiles & the canon is closed" To give me chapter and verse, you would also be saying that knowledge has also passed away ! *THE SAME VERSE !* YOU MIGHT WANT TO STICK TO THE WORD !

Come on man Corey was wrong

I was deceived as well for 20 years. Not here to argue or debate. It was simply a man made stronghold and it messed me up. I started reading the scriptures in its entirety, no cherry picking.

@@ozdoublelife I'm glad you were able to get free "also" my brother. Once you learn how to accurately study God's Word, it's truly life changing and you begin to see how often we make things up that the Bible never intended. But you also see the beauty of God of who He is and what He desires.

@@studygodsword5937 so what is your point you are implying?

Facts

Except that exactly what Paul says.....if you under what you are saying then you aren't speaking in tongues. If you don't understand, then you are speaking in tongues AND YOU SHOULD PRAY THAT YOU'D INTERPRET. But just because an interpretation doesn't come doesn't mean it's false

@@BEABEREAN10If you don’t understand then you are speaking in tongues? How stupid and ignorant. Paul just said he doesn’t want you to be ignorant, but you say if you are ignorant then that is okay? Wow!

I agree foxy. Its the only thing in the Bible that doesn't make any sense and many people who practice it are too proud to admit that it does nothing and isnt necessary

@@cowel8734 so you really believe that Paul knew what he was saying when he spoke in tongues? If that's the case then why did God also give us the gift of interpretation if we automatically know what we're saying in tongues? Why does Paul say if there be no interpreter in Ch 14 if you say that we should always understand what is being said.

@@cowel8734 Amen 🙏

In KJV YOU, YE is plural Thou, thy, is singular

English is the only language who got rid of you singular

The word ἑαυτοὺς is the plural accusative. the ὺς ending makes it clear the "you" is plural.

I AGREE 👍
