do any of you believe tongues are necessary

[Jakihe]

That is not the question (I don’t think ). Tongues are necessary for service, not salvation. If you hire me to build an addition to your home and give me a hammer would you say the hammer is necessary to do the job, just as much as, say, a saw or crowbar? I can always use a wrench or any other tool as a hammer, but the hammer is designed for a particular job just as the gift of tongues is. I can avoid using the enablement if I so choose, and I can still go to heaven, but my effectiveness on earth as a servant will be seriously curtailed.

The question was,
"Must you speak in tongues to be saved?" I was merely responding to the original post.

Oops. I stand corrected. I was responding to the title of the thread, not the OP. Sorry.

That's alright....it's an understandable mistake. God bless.

Jesus is who I Follow He did not speak in (unknown) Tongues

 

[JCchangedmylife]

sorry just to make it clear I'm not anti- tongues It is in the bible but not everyone did it,
and it is not required for salvation

 

[JimB]

My belief is that every believer CAN speak in tongues, but you are reight, not every believer DOES.

If you have not chosen the Kingdom of God first, in the end it will make no difference what you have chosen instead..​

Tongues are necessary for service ?

The holy spirit is necessary for service


1Co 12:29 Are all apostles? are all prophets? are all teachers? are all workers of miracles?
1Co 12:30 Have all the gifts of healing? do all speak with tongues? do all interpret?

 

[Colin]

Must you speak in tongues to be saved?

No .
But it is a gift of the Holy Spirit , and if you want it pray for it .

He didn't drive either. The disciples did though, they were all together in one Accord.

He also didn't use interact, shop at a grocery store, ride on a motorbike or own a computer. These things are to help us, although some things can hinder us as well. Gifts are similar.

I'm not against tongues It was to the Op If tongues were necessary for salvation Jesus would have spoke in them as an example to us

lol I like the accord one

some even smoked cigarettes

Gen 24:64 And Rebekah lifted up her eyes, and when she saw Isaac, she lighted off the camel.

 

[Svt4Him]

Ha, got it and agree.

Don't forget about peanut-butter

Ezek 3:26a: And I will make your tongue sticks to the roof of your mouth

 

[JCchangedmylife]

Is it necessary to have a boat to live on an Island?

No but it sure helps!

You can be a Christian without the gift of tongues, but become a more effective Christian with the gift of tongues!

By JE Brady Jesus never said anything about speaking in tongues, to my knowledge.

Jesus did mention tongues.

Mar 16:15 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.

Mar 16:16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.

Mar 16:17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;

Mar 16:18 They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.

Mar 16:19¶So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God.

But how many people would consider them non-believers because they never had been bitten by a poisonous snake and lived?
Or never had cast out a devil?
Or had never accidently drank poison, and lived to tell about it?

I believe we can speak in tongues because Jesus says we can as believers, but none of these signs is what saved the person. We are just asked to believe that we can as being believers.

Excellent, thanks. I stand corrected!

I think people need to define what the gift of tongues really entails. Most people hear "gift of tongues" and think of that "halimashanda bo say to bay rrrrrobosay" type language that a lot of people do when they're praying in the Spirit or whatever.

I think, rather, the gift of tongues is exactly that...the supernatural ability to suddenly speak accurately a tongue which you are not familiar with - whether it be an ancient tongue, a heavenly tongue or an existing tongue (French, Mandarin, Tagalog, etc.)

That's how it kind of manifested when the Spirit came - the disciples began to speak in languages they were unfamiliar with but were known to some of the people around them and it was a sign and a wonder.

The gift of tongues doesn't save you. It's just like any other gift, it's cool but not necessary for salvation.

The salvation experience is likened to the "Outer Court" of the tabernacle. The Pentecostal experience is likened to the Holy Place. You entered into covenant through the outer court. You come closer to God in the Holy Place. Jesus Himself said that one of the signs following the believer is speaking with "new tongues". Praying in the Spirit edifies you and you pray mysteries, according to the will of God. Do you need to do that? If Jesus said it's for you and your benefit, it's in your best interest to receive that. They say that the word saved or "sozo" implies more than eternal life. It's also healing and deliverance. Everything you need for soundness in your entire being was purchased by Jesus. If being a doer of the Word makes you blessed in your deeds, and speaking with new tongues is in the Word, then receiving and doing it will enhance your blessing. Whatever the more "fringe" elements in some churches do, they're not the norm, and if they are to the right or to the left, keep your eye single on Jesus at the throne and receive from Him how He intends for you to have it. Nothing weird! A righteous prayer for anyone who doesn't and would seriously consider it if it were truly a blessing and not weird is: "Holy Spirit show me!" Don't speak in judgment with your mouth against it. If you already have, repent of it first, then as Him to show you. Really believe like He's gonna do it! You may "run into" some people you haven't met who will lead you into the experience. If your faith is there to receive now, go for it!
