Answer 1

You don't have to speak in tongues, I was baptised of the Spirit and unified in God, and given the gifts of wisdom and discernment. I do not speak in tongues, but these gifts, to me, are greater than tongues, as was the union I experienced with God.

If it's so important that you receive it, do your work and seek, as Jesus told you.

Answer 2

Jesus told the apostles, "Ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence." (Acts 1:5)

This was a specific promise, to a specific set of people (the apostles), at a specific time ("not many days hence" or "not many days from now").

This promise was fulfilled in Acts 2:1-4.

This "baptism" gave the apostles the power to speak in tongues, or to speak in other languages. The purpose of this gift was to spread the word of God. At that time, the Bible was not complete. The only way the Gospel could be spread was by spoken words.

Now, however, the Bible is complete. We have the Word in written form that can be translated into various languages. There is no need for a special "gift" to accomplish this now.

The word of God is called "the perfect law of liberty". (James 1:25) To see if something taught about God is true, we can look into this "perfect law of liberty" or "search the scriptures" (Acts 17:11). The Bible is this perfect law, God's word.

1 Corinthians 13: 9-10 says, "For we know in part, and we prophesy in part. But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away."

At that time they prophesied "in part" because they did not have the complete New Testament, but when the complete New Testament had come, "the perfect" (the perfect law of liberty), then there were things that were going to cease.

Notice verse 8 says, "whether there be tongues, they shall cease." The miracalous gift of toungues indeed has ceased because they are no longer needed! We have the complete Scriptures!

Please read all of the chapter in 1 Corinthians 13!

Holy Spirit baptism was promised to a select people at a select time. This type of baptism no longer is in effect.

As proof of this, note that water baptism was commanded and practiced in the New Testament. (Acts 2:38, Acts 10:47-48, Acts 8:36-39)

By the time Ephesians 4:4-5 was written, the Bible says "There is... one baptism"!

If both water baptism and Holy Spirit baptism continued at that point, then there would have been 2 baptisms, and not one!

Is the writer of Ephesians (the Apostle Paul) wrong? We can see that water baptism was taught and practiced by that point, so if there is only "one baptism" as the Scriptures say, then that one baptism must be in water and this means that the Spirit baptism had ceased!

Answer 3

Dude: Here is what you need to know: All believers are entitled to and should earnestly seek and expect the baptism in the Holy Spirit. If you have not received it yet, keep on asking. It is God's pleasure and promise to give you what you need for you to live and serve him. I did not receive it for up to a month after I had first asked for it. I suggest that you get in a quiet room, play some soft praise music, and invite the presence of God. Ask, pray, and receive. Yes, it is that simple.
Cheers,

Answer 4

If you feel it was not given at your baptism for some reason, then you need to have elders lay hands on you.

I dont think there is any value in speaking in tongues anymore. I believe it was done truly to inaugerate the church but after that, was not needed. So I wouldnt look for that as a sign of anything. I think 90% of it out there today is manufactured and not a God given sign.

Answer 5

you have various questions on your long submit. using all caps is comparable to shouting, which will leave many human beings ignoring your question or thinking your sanity. it truly is recommended to to contemplate no longer using all caps (comparable to shouting) in destiny questions. a million. One has to contemplate what the baptism of the Holy Ghost is. The comforter can testify to all and sundry and the scriptures checklist this, such simply by fact the Centurion coming to Peter some imaginative and prescient he had won, which led to Peter to declare that he sees that God isn't any respecter of persons. yet, is that the Baptism of the Holy Ghost? i do no longer think of so, simply by fact it truly isn't any longer an enduring companionship. in the distinctive examples you gave, baptism (by skill of water) is implied, on account that "baptism of the Holy Ghost" is seldom defined as only, "Baptism." so which you will possibly me, it is going to become a rely of an journey that occurs after one bodily demonstrates their faith/perception in the time of the waters of baptism. To wit, it truly is a separate journey. 2. definite. it truly is barely recorded in some circumstances (the day of Pentecost, working example), which shows that the two it truly is amazingly plenty public or very plenty inner maximum. The persons receiving the baptism of the Holy Ghost (oftentimes) do no longer flow around bragging approximately it. To me, it truly is a sacred and private journey, to no longer be shared with a doubting worldwide. The sorcerer observed the data of the baptism, yet no longer the baptism itself. He, in his greed, wanted to be waiting to purchase and subsequently sell that ceremony or ability. it truly is the two externally substantial (and human beings who, having won the spirit, are many times asked what's distinctive approximately them), and sacredly inner maximum (no longer considered or recognised by skill of the worldwide). So, in end - The baptism itself is a separate journey. The flow to of the Holy Ghost to testify of fact can ensue at any time and reason a man or woman to declare that "i've got faith!"

Answer 6

Don't listen to these ppl who don't have any kind of relationship with the Holy Spirit. Do continue seeking and allowing ppl to pray with you. Don't ask just anybody to pray with or for you though. Make sure that the ppl are faithful to GOD and that they have experienced what you seek.
Remember, ignorance breeds fear. Those who don't understand the Holy Spirit or HIS work will just speak curses over you.

Answer 7

Get people to lay hands on you and pray for you to be filled with the Holy Spirit, and that He would show you. Then, just clear your mind, and just loose your tongue. Don't even think about it, just pray to God and it'll come out.

Praying for ya :)

Edit:

Naturally, I meant people who have a personal relationship with Christ and are led to help you.

God doesn't always act immediately. Sometimes it's drawn out because He needs to know how badly you want it.

Answer 8

You are far better off if you follow the Bible, than to follow a denominational teaching. Read the Bible you will see that all christians are baptized with the Spirit of God when they become Christians.

Answer 9

cant help you receive something that's UN important

Answer 10

You can hear yourself speak in tongues right now. It is called language. you speak English, you are speaking in tongues. If you mean speaking "gibberish" there is no such thing
