Nobody understands mindless babbling, which is all that today's tongues are. Understanding = edification = the original speakers, were said to be edified by speaking in tongues, = they understood what they were saying.
Tongues were a heavenly language understood by the speaker and those who had the gift of interpretation. Your little one was not speaking in tongues according to scripture.
That is a completely unproven theory.
No. It disproves your point.
You mean, according to Dave. Scripture says no such thing.
“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.” (1 Corinthians 14:2)
That does not say that tongues is understood by the speaker. That what the gift of interpretation is for.
If they are edified by so doing, and understanding is the basis for being edified, they certainly knew what they were saying. You need to drop the framework passed down by the hicks at Asuza street and read Acts and Corinthians for yourself and find out what it really says.
"... the hicks at Asuza street" ??? (more fighting words)
Look at their credentials and then turn the interpretation of scripture over to them. And then follow what they say while dividing yourself off from the church.
Repeating a false assertion over and over does not make it true. All you are doing is repeating your assumptions/presuppositions.
If you honestly consider the passages I've posted, and shelve your sentiments, you will see the truth in the matter.
Back at you. If you honestly consider the passages I've posted, my comments and shelve your assumptions/presuppositions, you will see the truth in the matter.
You are misinterpreting your passages. You need to read them for yourself without placing the Pentecostal frame work over the bible.
Ooops. You just blew it. I am not a pentecostal although I once had dinner ca. '87 with Paul Yong Gi Cho in his hotel room in Louisville KY when he was conducting a joint revival with a Baptist church in Evansville IN and a Full Gospel church in Louisville KY . I'm a member of the largest protestant denomination in the U.S.
The Jews knew Hebrew better than any but did not know what scripture said.
Nonsense, nice evasive answer which does not address my post in any way. The Jews knew their Hebrew scriptures better than most Christians know the Greek NT. Nothing happened between Jesus and the Jewish leaders which was not prophesied 100s of years before, after all were not all of the earliest Christians, Jews?
Why did they kill Christ and hate him more than anyone else today?
You do have an Old Testament and you can read and understand it can't you?
