LOL Your having us on - Right?

Why do you think I am having you on?

That is the way the Bible says that tongues are used. Am I right?

1 Corinthians 14:27,28

"If anyone speaks in a tongue, two--or at the most three--should speak, one at a time, and someone must interpret. 28If there is no interpreter, the speaker should keep quiet in the church and speak to himself and God."

First of all you will have to accept that speaking in tongues of any type means speaking words given by the Holy Spirit and is not a learned language.
If you cannot accept that it would be useless me saying anything else.

The only problem with your interpretation is that it is not Biblical. I will post what the Bible says.

Anything apart from this is not according to the Bible.

I have only just realised that TasManOfGod is from Australia. Your handle should have given it away long ago that you are from Tasmania.

You need to come up north to get away from the cold of the South Pole.

Actually you will find a lot more than that verse on speaking in tongues. Have you not found them also?

Hey God said to go to the uttermost parts of the earth - well I'm here

Yes, I have and it all says that everything must be done in order and without confusion. So far in every case that I know where there is babbling and noise involved in the speaking of tongues the person that spoke does not know what he says.

1 Corinthians 14:33,40

"33For God is not a God of disorder but of peace. 40But everything should be done in a fitting and orderly way."
Babbling is not in order.

1 Corinthians 14:18,19

"18I thank God that I speak in tongues more than all of you. 19But in the church I would rather speak five intelligible words to instruct others than ten thousand words in a tongue."

Paul does not place very much importance on the gift.

He places much more emphasis on things being done in order.

1 Corinthians 14:33,40

"33For God is not a God of disorder but of peace. 40But everything should be done in a fitting and orderly way."

It concerns me that those who want to each us how to speak in tongues -don't

Would you like me to teach you how to speak in tongues?

I can't.

But I can teach you how to receive the fullness of the Holy Spirit.

Hye guys I didn't post this message but I was reading the replies and I was wodnering do you think God can forgive me? I have fought the Holy Spirit... not really but my mom has wanted to pray for it for me in the longest time and I was never really ready... I am now though... do you think God can still be marciful enough to baptise me in the spirit?

Ocean of Dreams, of course God can forgive you. He loves you. He wants the best for you.

If you want to be baptised in the Holy Spirit, go to Him and ask. Confess and forsake any sin He shows you. Then just ask.

1 Corinthians 14
5I would like every one of you to speak in tongues, but I would rather have you prophesy. He who prophesies is greater than one who speaks in tongues, unless he interprets, so that the church may be edified.
1 Corinthians 14
39Therefore, my brothers, be eager to prophesy, and do not forbid speaking in tongues.
1 Corinthians 14
1Follow the way of love and eagerly desire spiritual gifts, especially the gift of prophecy. 2For anyone who speaks in a tongue does not speak to men but to God. Indeed, no one understands him; he utters mysteries with his spirit.(NIV)

I use tongues when I do not know what I should be praying for in any given situation. I anly pray in tongues when I am alone with the Lord,I ahve never used them in public except to pray silently about a situation.

It is sad to see many who have been so established in disbelief that they cannot partake in this abundant blessing as promised by Jesus Christ Himself

Hello tesnus!

I use tongues as you do. I have used them publicly, but then only by strong leading of the Holy Spirit, and even then only with much prayer first. Yes, there was an interpreter present on every occassion.

What's interesting is that when I gave a tongue publicly one time, I had the interpretation.

Much more normal for me is the use of tongues in my everyday life, especially when I need to hear the Holy Spirit. Praying in tongues is the fastest way I know to kill the flesh....

in all cases that people spoke in tongues but one can be said they spoke to people in their own language like the day of pentecost where it says all heard in their own language. the lone example is the story of cornelius, the main purpose of the event was to show peter and the jews that salvation had come to the gentiles. How did peter know salvation had come to the gentiles? by the speaking in tongues so the deciples did assoicate the speaking in tongues with recieving God's Holy Spirit into their hearts. but do not rely on it as proof that u have recieved God's Holy Spirit because if u do satan will decieve u with it. u should be interested in getting God or as Paul said one of the BETTER gifts such as healing so u can really help people. i suppose that why so many want tongues instead of healing is because if people asked for healing and did not get it that it would tell them where they really stand with God where as tongues is easy u can speak in tongues without God's help.
