6 And when Paul had laid his hands upon them, the Holy Ghost came on them; and they spake with tongues, and prophesied. What I get from this is they received the Holy Ghost (Born again) and went out to spread the word in different languages. "And Prophesied" proves my understanding. After all...

It would appear the word Ephphatha is an actual word, so Jesus never spoke in tongues like you describe. At least not that I've ever read about. Strong’s Definitions [?](Strong’s Definitions Legend) ἐφφαθά ephphathá, ef-fath-ah'; of Chaldee origin (H6606); be opened!:—Ephphatha. Thayer's Greek...

If you look at how small we are and how small our planet is compared to the universe. Its pretty much the smallest thing imaginable. I cant think of a reason why we would be the only ones. But then again God came to US as man and suffered huge for us. We are so small and perhaps insignificant in...

Gods creation is beyond comprehension. The universe is so big its beyond imagination. Earth is like a dust spec compared to the size of it all. Lately I've been wondering why God would create Earth and us. Unless there are others out there, we are so few in numbers. Even taking everyone who has...

Would she be interpreting a known language just not known to her, or completely unknown babbling?

I would be very skeptical if a tongues speaker actually interpreted another. How could any one prove it? God is not the author of confusion. Todays tongues is exactly that. Confusion.

A parable is spoken in a known language, very different. Babies are unlearned. They have no language.

Thing is, the apostles were speaking to people through Gods gift. People now days think they speak to God through Gods gift. Completely different. So far I haven't heard one tongues speaker able to interpret another. Its not just me as a doubter, its believers too.

When I hear people pray in todays tongues it comes out gibberish. Proven fact when comparing the gibberish to a known language they have always come out false. If one gets taken over by the spirit, is it really Gods spirit? Satan is spirit to. If you don't understand what you are saying, how can...

I’m sure God knows all language. He knows your intentions and thoughts so I guess he migjt interpret the babbling that way. Or Satan is interfering with the prayer and God hears jibberish. God can know your thoughts, I don’t think satan can so he likes it when you try and pray but it comes out...

I've heard and read a few articles on this experiment. Each independent experiment done that I've seen has not shown the one speaking in tongues to be a known language. Its all gibberish.

I am thankful for my life and what I have. Maybe guilty is the wrong word. Why do I have so much and they are being killed? Why do I deserve a good life and they don't? Am I just lucky? Did God choose them to suffer and not me? There faith is an inspiration. Is God using them to show us what...

I'm not sure how to title this thread but after reading this article its what came to mind. The killing of Christians is horrific and I don't know how to deal with it. I want to help but all I can do is pray for them. The news wont cover it and it seems the world doesn't care. Makes me very sad...

About 25 years ago a friend took me to his Church. I had no idea what kind of Church it was but I trusted my friend. I sat in the back of the very full Church, maybe 200 people. Towards the end of the sermon the preacher wanted everyone to pray in gibberish so satan would not understand. I...

Be weary of seducing spirits. If I don't know what I'm saying I'd be very careful that I'm sure I know who I'm talking to or who is taking over my speech. 1 John 4:1 [ Testing the Spirits ] Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because...

I believe what the Bible says, If it means more, then it should tell us that. It doesn't.

Diverse tongues is the ability to speak more than one language. Maybe I have a gift of discerning spirits.

But what is the Gift of tongues? The understanding I get from scripture is its the ability for others to understand when there is a language barrier. God gives understanding. That's what happened at Pentecost so that is the gift. Communication and understanding to benefit the one who needs the...
