In this sermon from John 1:26-33 titled “The Gift of Tongues,” Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones brings light, clarity, and wisdom to an often misunderstood topic. In compelling exposition, he explains the dangers, nature, and origin of speaking in tongues. The listener should come away from this sermon with a greater depth of understanding on this often overlooked or over-emphasized gift of the Spirit. Given the rise of Pentecostalism and the ever-present danger of abusing the miraculous spiritual gifts, it is important to give attention to what God has spoken in His Word in regards to the gift of speaking in tongues. Dr. Lloyd-Jones reminds the listener that speaking in tongues cannot be initiated by humans - as with the gift of healing, it is up to the Lord to determine when and where this takes place.

Unfortunately not ! MJL has missed completely the context. Here speak a man , who is nearly there but hasn’t got it.

I have struggled with speaking in tongues and what it really means for years. Dr. Jones (no relation) explains it in a way that makes total sense.

I listen to this fine, fine preacher now, & since just after my believing in the Lord Jesus Christ in 1968 and read all his writings he left us. I have re-read much of the books, passed extra copies off to other saints, they as enthused as I was. It is this man, also very much Albert N. Martin, and Chas. Spurgeon...these three (and my Bible, yes,) profusely, and they, in their preaching led me to the great Puritans, others. I plunged into my Bible, soon found these good men so I had good teaching to begin with. I thank God every day since for them.

"least of the gifts" does not imply that it is of lower worth. Speaking in tongues is communication with God, which makes the effects on a person's soul very clear - 1 Corinthians 14:2,4. The speaker is edified tremendously. If I couldn't pray and sing in the spirit, I'm not sure where I would be. One should experience this gift to know the sweetness that comes out of it. Without this magnificent gift, you won't be able to survive in a country like India with such a toxic spiritual atmosphere, and I can't thank God enough for it. When I didn't know what to pray in my troubled times, my spirit took control and afterwards, such peace and joy from the Lord filled my heart. Apostle Paul said I would that ye all spake with tongues - 1 Corinthians 14:5. Praying and singing in the spirit will elevate you into a higher realm in the spirit and I can guarantee you that this gift can help a depressive person out of his/her trouble.

elevate you into a higher realm??? thats gnostic teaching

@tomtemple69 8 ай бұрын

read the entire chapter of 1 Corinthians 14, Paul repeats over and over that uninterpreted tongues are virtually useless unless there is interpretation the gifts are given to edify others, not for yourself

Please pardon me but having read your comment, it seems to me that you place a bit too much emphasis on 'experience' rather than 'a' Person, the Lord Jesus Christ, Who keeps us, being the great Shepherd of the sheep and in Whose presence ..is fullness of joy. Sorry but there was, I felt, something in all you wrote that didn't sound quite right to me... God bless you 🌺

@tomtemple69 8 ай бұрын

so you rely on your tongues and not on Christ? that's bordering idolatry... putting your trust and hope in a gift rather than the gift giver... "elevate into a higher realm of spirit" yeah that's called gnosticism.... sound like the same nonsense new agers like to say
