Why some preachers speak in tongues and others not, but they all are use by God?

Question

I see God is using all preachers with the same power, no matter if they speak in tongues or not.

Answer 1

It just so happens that my all-time favourite passage of scripture is 1 Corinthians 13. Even in my darkest moments I clung to this bit of the Bible along with the Lord's/Our Father prayer. It starts with:

"If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames, but have not love, I gain nothing."

Then in Chapter 14 we learn that "For anyone who speaks in a tongue does not speak to men but to God. Indeed, no-one understands him; he utters mysteries with his spirit." Verse 13 advises anyone who speaks in tongue to pray that he may interpret what he says.

Paul puts the whole thing into context when he concludes in verse 19 "But in the church I would rather speak five intelligible words to instruct others than ten thousand words in a tongue."

'Nuff said?

Answer 2

Those who believe in tongues, use them. Those who do not, don't speak in tongues. But God uses them both because they are preaching Christ. A doctrinal issue does not stop the power of God from flowing in His church. But problems do come when one side says that you cant have the Holy Spirit if you dont speak in tongues. And the same thing on the other side who says that it is just a bunch of gibberish. I'm sure that the devil has a field day when churches start denying each others gifts of the spirit. Perhaps if each church body encouraged each other and acknowledged each others gifts and beliefs because the power of God is working on both sides.We are still on common ground as far as the gospel is concerned. Of coarse there are some churches that are starting to steer way out there in left field but that was prophesied in the bible about there being a falling away.

Answer 3

People that speak in tongues will say it's a gift that comes from the Holy Spirit and they have the knowledge to teach others to speak in tongues. If it came from the Holy Spirit, there'd be no need to teach anyone how to speak in tongues. That should be a sign right there that they're false prophets.

Answer 4

The modern day preachers who speak in tounges are only taking people for a ride because they themselves do not know what they are saying.Like in the Bible when the Diciples
of Jesus [pbuh ] begum to speak such people accused them of being intoxicated or insane.Till this date no one can Diciper what they sauid !

Answer 5

the problem right here is you and those others do no longer examine god's be conscious for certainty, yet basically pay attention to somebody else who's on no account in connection with God. right here is what the be conscious does say: 1Cor 14 2 For he that speaketh in an [unknown] tongue speaketh no longer unto adult males, yet unto God: for no guy understandeth [him]; howbeit interior the spirit he speaketh mysteries. 3 yet he that prophesieth speaketh unto adult males [to] edification, and exhortation, and convenience. 4 He that speaketh in an [unknown] tongue edifieth himself; yet he that prophesieth edifieth the church. 5 i could that ye all spake with tongues, yet fairly that ye prophesied: for greater suitable [is] he that prophesieth than he that speaketh with tongues, different than he interpret, that the church could acquire edifying. So see, you who 'think of' , in blunders, that conversing on tongues is a secular language , to adult males, you have not got any thought what the be conscious says. no person preached to a crowd on the Day of Pentecost. It grow to be LATER, AFTER this grow to be noised overseas, and the individuals got here at the same time. THEN, the preachers have been conversing of their own tongues, and god brought about the hearers to comprehend it of their own tongue. you don't be attentive to God's be conscious, and you do make havoc of it. IF god ever gave this present, he nonetheless does TO BELIEVERS. you're all no longer believer, for it quite is the sign present which you're an unbeliever. I communicate in tongues fairly usually, staggering right here, at homestead, by applying myself. IT grow to be no longer advise to offer MESSAGES TO OTHERS. which could ensue in a crowd, although if it remains the guy conversing mysteries to God. you be attentive to no longer something however the lies of the WT. So do no longer circulate attempting to tear down the genuine present of God. Your 'church' , if it quite is referred to as that, does not have salvation, as you all comfortably admit. so which you're none of his. How silly to component that because of the fact we communicate in tongues, we don't even have love? you're a faux witness. Why do you depart out area of a verse, changing it? it quite is sin, to do away with from Scripture. Why do you all dote on awareness and that's stated to bypass away on the comparable time that tongues does. and prophesies additionally. See, you're hitting against some thing that your pretend leaders hate, and you do make your self a faux witness of the genuine God.

Answer 6

i agree with Chi guy

as Jesus said , "" he that is not with me is against me , and he that gathereth not with me , scatterth abroad "

and in another place , " all that say Lord Lord will not enter in "

and in another it says " many are called FEW are chosen "

and again it says "But he that is a hireling, and not the shepard ,whose own sheep are not , seeth the wolf coming , and leaveth the sheep , and fleeth ; and the wolf catcheth them , and scattereth the sheep , The HIRELING fleeth , because he is a hireling , and careth not for the sheep ""

Jesus said , "" I AM the good Shepard( PASTOR) , and KNOW MY SHEEP , and AM KNOWN OF MINE "

THE HOLY GHOST is the SPIRIT of GOD
and if one who does not have it , has not GOD
and it says this concerning it , "" THEY were ALL FILLED with the Holy Ghost , and began to speak with other tongues , as the spirit of God gave them utterence "
and again it says this , ""IN THE LAW it is WRITTEN , with men of other tongues and other lips will i speak unto this people ; and yet with for that will they not hear me , saith the Lord "
and again this FACT , ""For with stammering lips and another tongue will i speak to this people " and again it says this concerning the Holy Ghost , ""For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh not unto men , but unto GOD ;for no man understandeth him ; howbeit in the spirit he speaketh mysteries ""

GOD is GOD and HE changes NOT
and is NOT a Respector of persons

HE is the SAME yesterday , today and forever
so is HIS WORD
and it doesnt change for one to satisfy another !!!

Answer 7

None of them "speak in tongues". Speaking in tongues means speaking to someone whose language you don't know, and they understand you anyway. For example, if you spoke in tongues, you could preach in China and they would understand you, even if they didn't know English.

What the Pentacostals do is called glossolalia, and it can be learned.

Answer 8

If someone give you a Gift and if you just believed him and yet failed to accept it ; you still haven't got it.
Others who believed and also accept the Gift are those who know the reality of enjoying the Gift hat was given and not to those who just believed and have not accepted it and appropriate it yet

Answer 9

Disagree. Gods FIRST priority of "preachers" is to teach his statutes. If people are teaching inaccurate information then they are not being used by God.
