    Yet, another Tongues/Interpretation question

    "Oh and by the way I do believe that The Gift of Tongues and Interpretation is different from the gift of prophesy. Otherwise they would both be called prophesy and why would God choose to use a two step process when a one step works even better. I think Tongues and interpretation is a very...

    Yet, another Tongues/Interpretation question

    Yes, I speak in tongues regularly in my prayer life. I'm asking the same questions which have yet to receive sufficient answer. You say I'm trying to "dismiss" tongues - yet, every service, I hope there is one given. You say I'm believing a Satanic lie, when a spirit-filled believe has brought...

    Yet, another Tongues/Interpretation question

    I don't want to sound rude, as I certainly appreciate the time you're taking to respond. However, do you simply not understand what I'm asking, or something? Because, none of those scriptures say anything definitive, and the evidence is shaky at best. "divers kinds of tongues." - Could be...

    Yet, another Tongues/Interpretation question

    I have payed attention to the scripture, and I have read it many times. It still seems to me that you fail to understand what I am saying. Never once did I say - or even hint at - the idea that speaking in tongues during the assembly of believers should not be done, nor does the author of the...

    Yet, another Tongues/Interpretation question

    Thanks for your response, Dave. But, likewise, I still have questions. First, it should be said that the author of the Commentary believes in tongues, and speaks in tongues. He makes the challenge to go through the book of Acts, and look at what is said with people speaking in tongues. He...

    Yet, another Tongues/Interpretation question

    Thanks for your response, KitKat. But, if you wouldn't mind, I'd like to take it a bit deeper. "My understanding is that it has long been held by much of the church that tongues during private prayer is to God, and tongues "spoken forth" in church are for edifying the church." We must be...

    Yet, another Tongues/Interpretation question

    Again, I appreciate the answer, but I feel like the main question has been avoided. So, to make it as simple as possible: What Biblical evidence is there that says that a Word in Tongues is directed to the Church from God in the manner that we often say it is? Likewise, what is the Bible...

    Yet, another Tongues/Interpretation question

    While, I certainly appreciate the time you took to reply, I don't see what you're saying as very relevant to what I asked. There could be hundreds of words in tongues, and prophecies in a Church service, as far as I care. The more reign the Spirit of God has, the better. What I care about is...

    Yet, another Tongues/Interpretation question

    I've been attending a spirit-filled, AG church for about two years now, and I'm quite thankful for the church. I've been blessed, as I have heard many people speak in tongues, I have heard of powerful visions, and prophesies, and words of knowledge that was clearly from God. I've seen people...
