Akuruoulo:

But when they were speaking in tongues it was only understood by the 12 of them , and no outsider understood it.
That's communication with the HOLY SPIRIT and no other man should understand it

chatinent:
Your point is?

[s][/s] Irrelevant comment to the topic

Sheggy13:

I've asked you to explain what Apostle Paul means in 1 Corinthians 14:2 but you're running away from that. I thought you're very confident with your explanation of the gift of speaking in tongues. You should pray earnestly for the Holy Spirit baptism as someone advised you instead of condemning what is a mystery to you.

" 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."

Sheggy13:

I'm trying to let you realise that the gift of speaking in tongues doesn't have to be a human spoken language like Igbo, Yoruba, Chinese etc as you're claiming on this thread. That's why I quoted 1 Corinthians 14:2.

Ammishaddai:
As far as this thread is concerned, it ain't relevant. And besides, you're a JW and speaking in tongues doesn't happen in your occultic gatherings because you chaps reject the entire concept . Now move along

Kobojunkie:
How do you know I don't speak in tongues?

First and foremost, Jesus Christ never said only those who have the Holy Spirit can speak in tongues. No, He said it is a sign of those who believe and last I checked not all those who believe have the Spirit of God - only those who are Holy can house the Spirit of God aka Holy Spirit.

Second, how do you know I don't have the Holy Spirit living inside of me?

Skseries:
what makes what he said irrelevant and urs relevant?

Skseries:
so now u will call ur self a true believer, a real christian right? Who are u to judge their religion? Who are u to day a religion is the right one or the wrong one, is it not we Nigerians that are born into a religion and automatically adopt it? Lol we all are just hypocrite sha

Cudeze4:

So you are saying that speaking in tougues should be learned? I won't blame you much though it must be what you were brought up with.

chatinent:


Yes, it is the gift of the holy spirit as seen on the day of pentecost.

But you see, brother, what is done today, the speaking of unknowledgeable words is pure nonsense and wasn't what was done then.

Unless you want to explain the meaning of rashidi yekini yamaha wa ka susuki from a preacher's mouth.

When people spoke in tongues in ancient times, they spoke one language and people from different cultural backgrounds, languages, and heritage, understood them.

Suppose Paul was in a Hebrew land (with non-Hebrew visitors from around) and spoke Hebrew, of the gift of the spirit, the Greeks, people of Corinth, people of Ephesus, Igbos, Ijaws, Yorubas, etc., understood him! They weren't speaking nonsense! The gift allowed them spread the message far and beyond language barriers...not speaking ecstatic pronouncements of gibberish.

Now I ask you, is what that was done then the same with what we hear and see today?


Have a nice century.

seglabsy:
the reason for this my question is as a result of a lady that i met she said she wanted to teach or train me how to be speaking in tongue, so i was disturbed on whether speaking in tongues is gift from God or they receive training as claimed by this lady.

So bible scholars, share your opinion on this because she is seriously disturbing me.

I'm not in anyway trying to contradict anybody, but as far as i know. Speaking in tougue is the gift of the Holy Spirit. It can't be learned.

chatinent:

I don't need to speak rubbish to prove a point bro.

Lollittaa:

not everything is a competition, debate or proving a point. You need the Holy Spirit in your life. And one of the signs that He's around is a change of vocabulary.

LordReed:


It's not a sign of anything but your ability to vocalise. Nothing special about it.

LordReed:
It is not a gift, it's something anybody can do. I started speaking in tongues while playing with my siblings as a child. We did it as a form of secret language. Even now as an atheist I can speak in tongues.

Lollittaa:

the issue is not the tongues, but the power it carries. You can speak English but if you don't understand what you are saying, it will not profit you.
I speak in tongues. It edifies me, strengthens me, and it is a communion between myself and the Godhead.
Now you can argue.

Lollittaa:

have you spoken on tongues and realised it was worthless or you just heard people do it and concluded on your part that it's worthless?

What power apart from the euphoric feeling it gives you when you speaking it?

Olas121:
Thanks for this question. Me asking myself like is it a much everybody must speak in tongues?

[s][/s] I love the way you comfort yourself with the false ideas regarding religious movements like JWs and Mormons . But kwantinue. We know that people like you don't really stand for anything other " live and let live " foolishness
