are you supposed to speak in tounges?

Question

i just wonder how many born again christians speak in tongues.pastor carney. [e-mail]

Answer 1

I definately don't. Some people say it is Biblical, other don't. I'm one of those others. I find it sort of uneccessary and a lot of a whole other things.

Answer 2

I was educated in a Charismatic University and speak in tongues myself. I think now that the evidence of speaking in tongues is the issue. It shows not that you have more of the Holy Spirit only that you speak in tongues. It is both spiritual and delusional. People can have wrong character can still speak in tongues. People can be sinners and still speak in tongues. There are millions who do the number is really unknown. The real value is living the life Jesus intended.

Much of the Charismatic Pentecostal hype is self induced behavioral patterns received because the desired projection is given by those desiring to see things happen a certain way.

Since it is hard to discern the difference it is better not to judge unless it gets out of hand.

Answer 3

draw close on! Acts 2:12-13 says: "and that they have been ALL surprised, and **have been uncertain asserting one to a distinctive, WHAT MEANETH THIS?** Others mocking pronounced, those adult adult males are crammed with new wine." So, it replaced into not at all any reliable at speaking a sparkling message to human beings. Peter realised this, that's why the subsequent verse says the apostles stood up and Peter began to communicate *TO* the group of bi-lingual Jews interior the consumer-friendly discovered language... THEN they understood the message! that is like if I walk down the Champs Elyses in paris i'd desire to over-hear 2 individuals speaking English, i visit recofgnise the words, yet i could be silly to anticipate that theerofre they're speaking to me! a million Cor. 14:2, 4 confirms that tongues isn't, and not in any respect replaced into, for preaching to individuals, that's permitting God's Spirit to lead you in perfect prayer (see additionally Romans 8:26). .

Answer 4

You are not supposed to speak in tongues. Nobody today can speak in tongues. No matter what anybody claims people do not speak in tongues. They may bable nonsense rubish for show or pretend to speak some unknown language when they pray but as the Apostle Paul says... "unless you utter by the tongue words easy to understand, how will it be known what is spoken? For you will be speaking into the air."

Answer 5

I do, and i'm 13. I love Jesus christ

Will you receive Jesus Christ right now?
Here is how you can receive Christ:
1. Admit your need (I am a sinner.)
2. Change your attitude that you can save yourself. Change your attitude to the fact that only Christ can save you by what He did on the cross (Repent...means a change of mind or attitude)
3. Believe that Jesus Christ died on the cross for you and rose from the grave.
4. Through prayer, invite Jesus Christ to come in and control your life through the Holy Spirit. (Receive Him as Lord and Savior)

Answer 6

Did GOD protect the children of Ishmael from invasion & hellenization by sending them in the desert of Paran ?


The Ishmaelites were left alone to perfect the Arabic language with minimal outside non semitic influence.

“For then I will turn to the peoples a pure language, that they may all call upon the name of the Lord to serve Him with one consent (Zeph. 3:9).


He will bring a new law and message in a new tongue(language) and the villages of Kedar will sing the praises from the mountain tops.....

“Sing unto the Lord a new song , and his praise from the end of the earth…” (V.10)

“another tongue” (Isaiah 28:11)

Let the desert and its towns lift up their voice, the villages that Kedar inhabits; let the inhabitants of Sela sing for joy, let them shout from the tops of the mountains. 12 Let them give glory to the Lord, and declare his praise in the coastlands. --- (Isaiah 42:11).

Ishmael dwelt in the wilderness of “Paran”(Gen.21:21) He beget twelve sons one of whom was named “Kedar”. (Gen.25:13)

Answer 7

This is a very deep topic to discuss. There are so many misconceptions regarding this speaking in tongues thing, especially among the clergy and other religious leaders of Christendom.

Speaking in tongues is the special ability given through the holy spirit to some disciples in the early Christian congregation that enabled them to preach or otherwise glorify God in a language other than their own.

Does the Bible say that all who would have God’s spirit would “speak in tongues”?

1 Corinthians 12:13, 30: “Truly by one spirit we were all baptized into one body . . . Not all have gifts of healings, do they? Not all speak in tongues, do they?” (Also 1 Corinthians 14:26)

1 Corinthians 14:5: “Now I would like for all of you to speak in tongues, but I prefer that you prophesy. Indeed, he that prophesies is greater than he that speaks in tongues, unless, in fact, he translates, that the congregation may receive upbuilding.”

Does ecstatic speech in a language that a person never learned prove that he has holy spirit?

Can the ability to “speak in tongues” come from a source other than the true God?

1 John 4:1: “Beloved ones, do not believe every inspired expression [“every spirit,” KJ, RS], but test the inspired expressions to see whether they originate with God.” (See also Matthew 7:21-23; 2 Corinthians 11:14, 15.)

Among those ‘speaking in tongues’ today are Pentecostals and Baptists, also Roman Catholics, Episcopalians, Methodists, Lutherans, and Presbyterians. Jesus said that the holy spirit would ‘guide his disciples into all the truth.’ (John 16:13) Do the members of each of these religions believe that the others who also “speak in tongues” have been guided into “all the truth”? How could that be, since they are not all in agreement? What spirit is making it possible for them to “speak in tongues”?

Before you read forward, think about what that previous paragraph just said.

A joint statement by the Fountain Trust and the Church of England Evangelical Council admitted: “We are also aware that a similar phenomenon can occur under occult/demonic influence.” (Gospel and Spirit, April 1977, published by the Fountain Trust and the Church of England Evangelical Council, p. 12) The book Religious Movements in Contemporary America (edited by Irving I. Zaretsky and Mark P. Leone, quoting L. P. Gerlach) reports that in Haiti ‘speaking in tongues’ is characteristic of both Pentecostal and Voodoo religions.—(Princeton, N.J.; 1974), p. 693; see also 2 Thessalonians 2:9, 10.

Is the ‘speaking in tongues’ that is done today the same as that done by first-century Christians?

In the first century, the miraculous gifts of the spirit, including the ability to “speak in tongues,” verified that God’s favor had shifted from the Jewish system of worship to the newly established Christian congregation. (Hebrews 2:2-4) Since that objective was accomplished in the first century, is it necessary to prove the same thing again and again in our day?

In the first century, the ability to “speak in tongues” gave impetus to the international work of witnessing that Jesus had commissioned his followers to do. (Acts 1:8; 2:1-11; Matthew 28:19) Is that how those who “speak in tongues” use that ability today?

In the first century, when Christians ‘spoke in tongues,’ what they said had meaning to people who knew those languages. (Acts 2:4, 8) Today, is it not true that ‘speaking in tongues’ usually involves an ecstatic outburst of unintelligible sounds?

In the first century, the Bible shows, congregations were to limit the ‘speaking in tongues’ to two or three persons who might do that at any given meeting; they were to do it “each in turn,” and if there was no interpreter present they were to keep silent. (1 Corinthians 14:27, 28, RS) Is that what is being done today?

Are true Christians today identified by the ability to “speak in tongues”?

John 13:35: “By this all will know that you are my disciples, if you have love among yourselves.”

1 Corinthians 13:1, 8: “If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels but do not have love, I have become a sounding piece of brass or a clashing cymbal. Love never fails. But whether there are gifts of prophesying, they will be done away with; whether there are tongues, they will cease.”

Jesus said that holy spirit would come upon his followers and that they would be witnesses of him to the most distant part of the earth. (Acts 1:8) He instructed them to “make disciples of people of all the nations.” (Matthew 28:19) He also foretold that ‘this good news of the kingdom would be preached in all the inhabited earth for a witness to all nations.’ (Matthew 24:14) Who today, both as a group and individually, are doing this work? In harmony with what Jesus said, should we not look for this as an evidence that a group has holy spirit?
