TONGUES

Acts 1:19 ,2:1to8 ...the day of pentecost was fully come . They were all with

one accord in one place. :4 And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost. and

began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance. :6 ... the

multitude came together, and were confounded because that every man heard

them speak in his own language, :8 And how hear we every man in our own

tongue, wherein we were born? Acts 2:37to41, 21:37to40

Why do we need the gift of other languages, tongues before the Judgement and Advent of Jesus?

Genesis 11:1to9 At one time the earth was one language. But they used this gift

for evil, so God confounded their language, and scattered them.

Mark 16:15to18, Romans 10:13to17, The promised gift of new

tongues was given to help take the gospel of peace, and glad tidings

of good things! So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by

the word of God.

So the gospel may go to new people who need to hear of what Jesus did for them in their own tongues.

Was the gift of the Holy Ghost just for the Jewish Christians?

Acts 10:19,20,28,34,35,43,to48,11:1,15,24 The gift came to the

gentiles as on us at the beginning. Acts 2:4,6,8 (1 Corin. 14:22 special signs)

Acts 19:1to10,11,12,18,19,20 ...so that all they which dwelt in Asia heard the

word of the Lord Jesus, both Jews and Greeks. ( Matthew 2:5to12)

Were every body in the church to speak with tongues?

1 Corinthians 12:1to13,:10,:11 ... to another miracles ... to another prophecy;

... to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues:

...the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will.

What is more important then tongues and the other super natural deeds?

1 Corinthians 13:1,8,9,10 Though I speak with the tongues of men

and of angels, and have not charity (love from the hearth) Deut. 6:5,6 I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal. (:12)

Isaiah 51:6,7,8,11,16; 1 John 4:8;5:1to5, :2,3

Is there a deeper heart prayer for us and will the Spirit that led us help us?

1 Corinthians 14:1to4 , 1 Samuel 1:12to15 Speaketh not unto men,

but unto God: Romans 8:9,14,15,26,27,28, James 4:3,5:16, Luke 22:39to46

What are there barbarians in Christian churches?

1 Corinthians 14:5to11, :9 So likewise ye, except ye utter by the

tongue words easy to be understood, how shall it be known what

is spoken? ...don't become a barbarian to others.

people seek unto their God for understanding?

Isaiah 8:19, 20; Hosea 4:1,2,6 To the ten commandments and all scripture if

they have not these, they will lie to you? 1 John 2:3,4;4:1to3; Rev. 16:13,14

1 Corinthians 14:12to19 praying, singing, speaking five words with

understanding is better then ten thousand words in an unknown

tongue in the church. Ezekiel 3:4,5,6,24,26

John 16:7,8,13, 1 Samuel 23:2,3, Revelation 14:6,7,12;

Jeremiah 23:16,21,22,30,31; Ezekiel 22:26to28, Deut. 13:1to5, Isa.28:7to15

Should "it is written" always be our safe guard more than the super natural?

1 Corinthians 14:20,21 ; Matthew 4:1to11; 7:20to23; 2 Tim. 2:15,19

Note super natural signs done in the name of Jesus, does not mean that they are from Jesus. Jesus said that he never new them. But were did they get their power from?

What about the signs of God?

1 Corinthians 14:22,23, Exodus 31:13,17, Ezekiel 20:12,

Acts 7:38to42,4:24, Do you believe in this important sign, as well as

other signs for God's people? The unlearned and unbelievers, will

they not say that ye are mad if you don't use the signs of God wisely?

Is Jesus the author of confusion and disorder?

1 Corinthians 14:24to28to33, But if there be no interpreter let him

keep silence in the church; ( Note people from different countries

and tongues would come. They start asking questions during the service. The

believers in the assembly would start interpreting for them. It starts getting

noisy and confusing to others.) :33 For God is not the author of

confusion, but of peace, as in all churches... :39 Wherefore,

brethren, covet to prophesy, and forbid not to speak with tongues.

:40 Let all things be done decently and in order.

Did Jesus create our tongues to speak only the truth in love, what happen?

Gen. 3:1to7; John 8:44; Rev. 12:9; The father of lies has deceived us and

we have been willing. James 3:4to18; Phili. 4:13 But there is hope in Christ

which strengtheneth all that are willing. And is there hope for the future?

Zephaniah 3:8,9, Revelation 20:9,14,15, 21:1to5,22:2, Isaiah 66:22,23

Note after the day of indignation: For then will I turn to the people

a pure language, that they may all call upon the name of the Lord,

to serve him with one consent.

Isaiah 50:4,5, The Lord God hath given me the tongue of the

learned, that I should know how to speak a word in season to

him that is weary:...
