2 Chr 7:14 - IF my people etc.

I your case, I not sure that you want to do anything but disparage it, and convince yourself (and others) that it's nothing but garbage. Depends on the circumstances. God's not a "One Trick Pony". If the tongue happens to be one understood by somebody listening, then the message is for THEM...

The Born Again of the Holy Spirit "type". There is no other "type". There are many denominations, but that's not "Christianity", and not the "Church" - it's just "organization". The CHURCH is just PEOPLE who are Born Again of the Holy SPirit and indwelled by HIM.

Could be that many want to ARGUE ABOUT IT, instead of desiring it and ASKING FOR THE BAPTISM IN THE HOLY SPIRIT (to use Pentecostal vernacular). I Asked for it - and I Speak in tongues (privately) among many other things. Simple as that. OR more likely, The Baptism in the Holy Spirit is...

Probably not by those "Christians" who actually are Born Again by the Holy Spirit, and infilled with Him. The VISIBLE CHURCH will always be a mixture of "Wheat" and "Tares" - and "Tares" will always have their own agenda. Homosexuality is one thing, but engaging in Homosexual physical...

Nope. "Marriage" Biblically is "The joining of flesh" (Just ask Jacob Gen 29:21-25). The "Ceremony" , the "Vows", the Venue, and all the other associated (expensive) hoopla has absolutely nothing to do with it. The "Wedding" is nothing more that the execution before witnesses of a LEGALLY...

No problem. The Holy Spirit GIFT of "Tongues" (as well as all the other Giftings) is completely voluntary. One can refuse the burden if one foolishly elects to do so. No "Emotionalism", or compulsion involved. Demonic manifestations, on the other hand, are compulsive. The person so afflicted...

Chuckle!!! Go ahead and take your complaint to God, since you're obviously much wiser than HE is. Ask him why He'd do something STUPID, like gifting a "tongue", and an "Interpretation", instead of simply gifting a prophetic utterance in the common tongue. Let us know what His answer is.

Here in Glenn Heights (just South of Dallas) ATT is installing a new Fiber phone/internet system (and we've had ATT fiber for the last 6-7 years). Subdivision construction has been going ABSOLUTELY bonkers for the last few years, what with hoards of folks flooding into Texas (unfortunately...

Not something I've experienced at all

That's the standard Pentehostile teaching: "Jesus ministered NOTHING to the disciples in the upper room". So then you have to explain why Jesus used the term "Endued" which is an External clothing, when speaking about Acts 2. Thomas' infilling happened a bit later, as the record shows...

Like myself - I've NEVER been burdened to speak a MESSAGE IN TONGUES in a meeting. only to Interpret Tongues, or speak prophesy.

Along those lines: We had a fellow in our church up in Ohio who, regular as clockwork, would rip off a "tongue" at the same point in the service (not interrupting anything, and during a time in the proceedings when "Manifestations" were typical), and every one of his utterances WAS THE SAME -...

Everybody "KNOWS" somebody who "speaks in tongues", and Steals / Beats their wife / went insane / ate their cat. ANYBODY can "Speak in tongues" with a little practice. You haven't presented any reason for us to believe this "Street preacher" is even a Christian.

What you're forgetting (or denying) is Jesus' command for the disciples (who were ALREADY INFILLED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT (John20:22) to hang around Jerusalem until they were "ENDUED" (Externally clothed) with power from on high. Acts 2:4 records that experience, and presents "tongues" for the...

And here we go again with "Word games". Same 'ol Same 'ol

Simply by Speaking the Words that the HOLY SPIRIT gives us to say accurately and without personal enhancement, and not engaging in meaningless "Word Games" about what the genre should be called.

Allthough in the EARLY Pentecostal movement, missionaries were sent out believing that the Holy Spirit WOULD ENABLE THEM to speak languages that they didn't know (and in fact it DOES HAPPEN evem today in isolated instances). Of course, IT DIDN'T WORK, and the missionaries got their posteriors...

Which is true. your "Mind" isn't creating anything that simply "flows through" from the Holy SPirit. IF your "MIND" GETS productive, then it's no longer a SPIRITUAL enablment, but your OWN thoughts/paradigms coming out. We see some of that too, in phony Interpretations/Prophesies. The...
