I would think first and foremost the word "tongue" must be defined . Adding a new meaning to the word can destroy the foundation of the word. And violate the warning not to change the meaning of a word by adding new unauthorized. . (Deuteronomy 4:2)
Tongues is simply prophecy. Tongues according to the Bible is the language of God called prophecy All prophecy is God breathed and useful in hearing God that men might be empower to obey it .
In that way according to your question; " Is speaking in tongues deliberate?" A person would then have to ask; Does God speak deliberately?
If anything is hidden, it is hid in parables (prophecy) or called hidden manna. Without parables Christ spoke not.
Tongues is God speaking his words of prophecy to all the nations of the world previously the Jewish nation it is called prophesying or declaring the will of God . The fulfilment of Joel prophets male and female from all the nations of the world. . the new promised kingdom of priest not of this world restoring the government of peace our unseen God working his will in mankind. . .
Acts 2:15-17 King James Version (KJV) For these are not drunken, as ye suppose, seeing it is but the third hour of the day But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel; And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon
all flesh: and your
sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams:
If we try and make it into making a noise without meaning or without direction. That ideology can only cause doubt or wondering and falling backward as slain in the spirit.
Then if you follow the doctrine of tongues to the end of the matter a person has insulted the spirit of judgment (falling backward slain in the spirit) as those who make all things written in the law and the prophets .(sola scriptura) Making the tongue of God's prophecy without effect. reducing it to meaningless sounds .
In that way no man serve two teaching authorities.(1) the oral traditions of men they call tongues and (2) the true tradition of the Tongues. .God's prophecy as
it is written .
Spiritual gifts not seen the eternal as a living hope looking to a new body yes. Gifts seen ? Who has a living hope for that which is already seen .
Romans 8:24-25 King James Version (KJV) For we are saved by hope:
but hope that is seen i
s not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for? But if we
hope for that we
see not, then do we
with patience wait for
it.
I would think we seek after what we hear, it points toward the promise. it does not lead that we might desire
Some made Jesus into a circus seal turning the gospel upside down . Saying in effect. . make a noise and then we will fall backward it is not of the faith of Christ.
Mark 16:17
And these
signs shall
follow them that
believe; In my
name shall they cast out devils; they shall
speak with new tongues;
They above
follow, not to be sought after Like the sign . "You have just left the Chicago city limits come again" . The vision is over.
John 4:48 Then said
Jesus unto
him, Except ye see
signs and
wonders, ye will
not believe.
Them below making Jesus into a circus seal...
John 6:30 They said therefore unto
him, What
sign shewest
thou then, that
we may see, and
believe thee? what dost
thou work?
The bible does not use the phrase as two words "Sign Gifts" .Spiritual
unseen gifts yes .They work in the believer. They are given the power to speak in a new tongue, the gospel of Christ as it is written (prophecy) it can work in the spiritually dead and give them new born again spirit life . The poison of false doctrine will not harm their new born again souls. They dare no go above all things written in the law and the projects (sola scriptura)
Making unreasonable sounds and falling backward as slain in the spirit is a oral tradition of men. It represent the spirit of judgement falling back.
We must be careful God can send a strong delusion if we are believing a lying sign as a way of wondering and not coming to faith in the work of God .
