    If you follow my posts you will see that so far I have visited the Pentecostal church twice. So if you are asking for verbatim of a translation I cant help you with that now. The experience I had is confirmed in scripture 1C14:23, and I dont believe the gifts have ceased since Paul says never...

    By testing the spirit, if it agrees with scripture. Not all tongues can be interpreted, God is of peace not of confusion. It may even keep the church in check to prepare for the kingdom of God which is at hand. The day of the lords return and judgment can come at any moment. Since the time of...

    From the very moment you proclaim "Jesus Christ is my Lord and Savior" its by the Holy Spirit therefore you are well on your way to further your discipleship and charity within his Church. Charity according to the bible is not fund raising or has anything to do with money. Luke 9:3 Acts 3:6 etc...

    This is exactly why the Body of Christ needs no reformations but a communication and let it be known. The problem the church may be facing today is exactly what Paul was warning before. We are becoming divided and are entrusted by tradition in our own divisions. Open up to eachother and fall...

    Believe me tho, its not nearly as offensive as saying that my experience was unbiblical and unholy. Thats like me saying that scripture alone is also a practise of muslims. But what was spoken of regarding my experience implies A. Something unholy got in me and caused me to speak in tongues B. 1...

    Charity was spoken of after the resurrection, is charity a form of works? Sent from my LGLS755 using Tapatalk

    True, but what is faith without works or charity? Christ did save us by his work on the cross, but a blind and lost person doesnt just pick up the good book and start reading, dont question my works as i wont question your works, God knows thy works and charity. The op was addressed to speakers...

    I thought I answered it when I posted how Paul describes tongues as drawing in unbelievers and becoming saved, they become believers and can testify that this IS of God no question about it. In my personal experience I likewise know for sure it isnt just a feeling. When that preacher put his...

    the gift of Apostasy is mentioned among gifts. Paul describes two types of tongues, unknown tongues to be interpreted for prophesy and foreign tongues to speak to foreigners. He describes the cessation of gifts for a time if thats what you are wondering. All gifts must cease as a tongue...

    Peter had the gift of an Apostle, it doesnt go against what Paul preached. John had a unique gift too, in complete solitude he prophesied to 7 churches and with no man interpreter but an angel sent by God interpreted parts of his visions. Christ told them that they would perform miracles. Sent...

    Look at how many souls were added at pentecost, i'd say it may be possible that it implies t to be an example of how effective these gifts are.. Sent from my LGLS755 using Tapatalk

    The gifts are separate parts of the body of Christ, example tongues need and interpreter or you are just a wind instrument with no distinction of notes. These gifts were to keep the church together and undivided. As long as there are potentials in unbelievers to become believers the gifts are...

    Btw my parents who are Catholics said that the Catholic church used to speak in tongues and prophesize in the spirit but that they ceased the practice decades ago. I believe all churches could have the gifts again if they would consider it. Again thanks for your insights, God bless my friends...

    It could be a sign from God. _________________ 1 Corinthians 14:22 22*Tongues, then, are a sign, not for believers but for unbelievers; prophecy, however, is not for unbelievers but for believers.* 23*So if the whole church comes together and everyone speaks in tongues, and inquirers or...

    Well some people here seem to suggest that speaking in tongues is not sound doctrine and has no purpose or use therefore must be the devils work or just gibberish. Im just implying that its hypocritical, God gives us methods and tools and means to pray as long as its directed to HIM and not...

    Are all tongues Holy? No. A devil can posses any person or anything. Remember Hindus, Buddhist and Muslims use prayer beads, but who are they praying to? So are all prayer beads Holy for prayer? No Sent from my LGLS755 using Tapatalk

    Our church doesn't perform miracles as you described. Like I said, its very calm and non judgmental, if you want to say "hallelujah" you can, you arent shunned because you dont say "amen" in unison with eveyone else. I study and test these spirits, it seems like its pointed out a lot in these...

    Are prayer beads/rosary biblical? But its used for prayer correct? His post isnt justified to say tongues cannot be used today for worship, as long as its Jesus name. His name was repeated several times in the prayer and to me it felt more direct than praying in my mother tongue. Sent from my...
