So the 3,000 had the gift of interpretation of tongues to understand what was being said?

Do you believe 1 Corinthians 14:2 is true in all instances? "For he who speaks in a tongue does not speak to men but to God, for no one understands him; however, in the spirit he speaks mysteries." How did the 3,000 Jews understand the tongues spoken on the Day of Pentecost?

I've heard radio pastors say that those Gentiles only have the "measure of faith" that God gives mankind, and are not Christians.

Hi RJ, Of the two types of sins: sins unto death and sins NOT unto death, when we are born again of the Spirit Jesus as the Author of our faith takes away all desire out of our nature to commit sins unto death known as lawlessness (1 John 3:4-5). As also the Finisher of our faith Peter shows us...

It is good that you already know that the Roman 2 Gentiles have already been born again of the Holy Spirit and are Christians. You are the only one I've heard of that knows they are Christians. :waves:

Jesus is the Author and Finisher of our faith. Discern Romans 2:14 for when Gentiles, who do not have the law, by nature do the things in the law, these, although not having the law, are a law to themselves, 15 who show the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing...

The Jews received the Holy Spirit in Jerusalem on the Day of Pentecost, but it was not world-wide. Then the Samaritans received it by the laying on of hands by the Apostles in Samaria. Then the Holy Spirit fell on the Gentiles at the house of Cornelius as a sign to Peter that the Gentiles were...

Just keep abiding IN Him, because He will abide in you. Gifts are one thing, but letting God wash your mind of all doctrines of man and reteaching you the ONE true doctrine and the only right interpretation of His Word is the most valuable gift you can have.

Yes. It then cannot be confused with the "sign" of tongues. Mark 16 "these signs shall follow..." It depends on before of after you receive a gift of the Spirit. He determines what gift we need according to whether you are given an office in the Church or not. But once you are given a gift it...

I suppose it starts in tongues and quickly turns to his language. Of all the gifts of the Spirit, receiving messages from God in tongues and interpretation of tongues are the only two I've never experienced. But as we see at the bottom of 1 Cor. 12, each of those is connected to an "office." God...

I asked a pastor once about what he hears when he gives the interpretation of tongues from a message in tongues. He said, he hears English and repeats what he heard. What is interesting about those who speak against tongues because they hear blasphemies, is that blasphemy is what they hear...

It says that those 3,000 then believed and were baptized. The teenage girl in Arizona also believed and became a Christian. You have faith. I do too and when I hear of miracles I never doubt. And just like the talents, we receive more. And those who live in doubt, what faith they had will be...

The thing is I don't know what the AOG or Jimmy Swaggart doctrines are about the gifts of the Spirit. I wasn't raised Pentecostal. All I know about tongues I learned directly from God. I would ask questions in prayer and most of the time, early in the morning as I was waking up the answer would...

On the Day of Pentecost the Jews listening were not hearing their own languages naturally, but supernaturally. The emphasis was on the hearing. The Holy Spirit allowed the 3,000 Jews to have the gift of interpretation of tongues to draw them to Christ. So, it wasn't a third use. The 120...

Here is the rule for interpreting what happened on the Day of Pentecost and for either type of tongues (Mark 16, 1 Cor. 12). 1 Corinthians 14:2 2 For he who speaks in a tongue does not speak to men but to God, for no one understands him; however, in the spirit he speaks mysteries. Those who...

There are two types of speaking in tongues. The sign of tongues is found in Mark 16:16-18. Mark says nothing about interpretation, therefore, this is between you and God in prayer or praise. The higher gifts of the Holy Spirit are found in 1 Corinthians 12. Tongues is also mentioned here, but...

Hi Carl, What I noticed about those newbies that got the Holy Spirit after the Day of Pentecost was the Gentiles' tongues were prayer languages, but the Jews and Samaritans (the ten other tribes of Israel) prophesied.

Jesus said, "you MUST be born again." Why? To pray supernaturally to Him? No! To cleanse our sin nature of SIN! When I was born again in 1977 I literally felt a heaviness lift up out of me and I felt light as a feather. Also, the desire to sin I tried to turn from and kept failing was suddenly...

Yours spoke of God speaking to us about His Word, and I gave my own experience. But in answer to a comment in your post, I have received personal prophecy that has come to pass, and also forthcoming prophecy in answer to a prophecy.

God will answer our questions on His word. For instance, I could never understand why teachers called the life-long period of maturing in Jesus, "sanctification." It seemed to me regarding that word to always be past-tense, just like justification. Like this: 1 Corinthians 6:11 "But you were...
