    What was the suggested order Paul offered. The situation that occurred in the Corinthian Church wasn’t a matter of corporate tongues but an issue of too many people getting up one by one and giving forth a message that no one understood. That is why Paul said at the most only allow three!!! That is the order!!!

  • @kavikv.d.hexenholtz3474
    @kavikv.d.hexenholtz3474 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    1Cor. 14:2 is perhaps *the* quintessential verse used by many to “evidence” modern tongues-speech in the Bible.
    The whole passage is talking about real, rational language.
    Let me use an analogy - If I attend a worship service in “East Haystack”, some remote town in the US out in the middle of nowhere, two things are going to be evident: one; there’s only going to be so many people at that service (i.e. there will be a finite given amount of people there) and two; the chances that anyone speaks anything *but* English is pretty slim to nil.
    If I start praying aloud in say Lithuanian, there’s no one at that service that’s going to understand a single word I’m saying. Even though I’m speaking a real language, no one _there_ will understand my “tongue”. That does not mean or imply that no one else understands Lithuanian; just no one at _that particular service._
    In this sense, therefore, I am speaking _only to God,_ since he understands all languages. To everyone at the service, even though I’m praying in the Spirit (as defined further below), to the people listening to me, I’m still speaking “mysteries” - i.e. even though I’m praying as I ought, no one understands me. An idiomatic expression to say that no one has a clue what I’m saying as no one speaks my language.
    When one looks at the original Greek, the verb which is usually translated as “understandeth/understands” is actually the verb “to hear” in the sense of understanding what you’re hearing someone say. The verb is *not* “to understand”. That part of the verse is more properly “no one hears [him] with understanding”, i.e. no one listening to him understands what he’s saying.
    There is _nothing_ in this passage that suggests modern tongues-speech nor is there anything that even _remotely_ suggests that the speaker does not understand what he himself is saying. The Greek bears this out; it is the _listeners_ who do not understand, *not* the speaker - no matter how hard modern tongues-speakers want the speaker to also not understand…….unless the author of the text is a bad grammarian, it just isn’t there.

    Alright alright, no more following nor watching you and your similar friends. I am too full.

    You don't need to ask for the gift of tongues because tongues is not a gift but rather a manifestation of the spirit (the gift) you received when you believed(Romans 10:9-10). As a matter of fact speaking in tongues is proof in the senses realm that you have been saved which is why Paul said "I want you all to speak in tongues". God doesn't want his people ignorant of the reality of their salvation.

    As clear as mud unfortunately and pretty much all wrong. Firstly why did the 120 in Acts 1 speak in tongues vs 5 Jesus says you shall be baptised with the Holy Ghost not many days hence. And what happened “they spoke in tongues” It is the outward manifestation of knowing you have the Holy Spirit. Yes some people heard their own language but others thought they were drunk. Peter got up and explained what was going on, why would he have to get up and explain what was going on if the general public knew already by the disciples speaking in tongues. What happened in Acts 10 when the Holy Spirit fell on Cornelius and his household? 46 For they heard them speak in tongues and magnify God. What happened in Acts 19 Paul said Have you received the Holy Ghost since you believed? And they said unto him we have not so much as heard whether there be any Holy Ghost. 6 And when Paul prayed with them the Holy Ghost came on them and they spake with tongues and prophesied. How do you know you have the Holy Spirit? you will speak in tongues as written in Acts 2 10 and 19. One tongue not four. If you read 1 Corinthians 14 fully tongues interpretation and prophecy are to be used in “the church” decently and in order 2 or at the most 3 to uplift and edify the church. And to pray in private to our Father who makes intercession for us through his Spirit. Not to preach not to teach. Speaking in tongues is the proof of receiving the Holy Spirit the Comforter promised in John 14. Mark 16 Jesus says Believers will speak in other tongues. It is not an added extra it is essential for salvation. John 3 Jesus told Nicodemus “Except a man be born of water and of the spirit he cannot enter the kingdom of God. Jesus Christ the same yesterday today and forever. God is not a God of confusion.

    At Pentecost, the apostles weren’t speaking any language they didn’t already know. The spiritual gift given at Pentecost was not that of languages (though a language miracle did occur), but rather prophesy.
    This would take a few pages to explain properly; so, for the sake of brevity, I’m considerably simplifying and ‘bottom lining’ the below.
    At Pentecost, the Holy Spirit did not give the _language_ (i.e., the means/content) of the apostles’ speech, it gave the _manner_ in which it was spoken.
    The Holy Spirit gave the 12 apostles what in the Greek text is “apophtheggesthai”. This word is from “apophtheggomai” which is best translated as “to give bold, authoritative, inspired speech to”. Don’t go to Strong’s and look it up though - “Strong’s” is a _concordance_ , not a lexicon; there’s a _huge_ difference.
    Without going into what could be considerable detail, when looking at the “language wherein the attendees were born” there are only two: Aramaic and Greek.
    The Jews present at Pentecost came from three areas: Judea, the Western Diaspora and the Eastern Diaspora. “All nations under heaven” is an idiomatic expression - Acts II: 9-11 tells us where those visiting were from.
    The “list of nations”, as it’s called, of Acts 2: 9-11 is simply that - a list of countries, lands and nations that tell us where these people were from; *not* what language(s) they spoke, as most people assume. Further, the idea that the “tongues” of Acts II was xenoglossy also stems from this false assumption. In the entire narrative not *one* language is ever referenced by name - ever wonder why?
    The miracle of language at Pentecost was making the God of the Jews accessible to all people and moreover, not having to do so in one prescribed language: namely, Hebrew, the sacerdotal language of Judaism. The crowd was expecting to hear Hebrew first followed by translations into Aramaic and Greek as was the tradition and practice of the day; what they got were Aramaic and Greek without Hebrew first. Doing this broke a slew of cultural and religious taboos and was virtually tantamount to heresy which accounts for the crowd’s reaction.
    The actual gift being emphasized is the fact that the Holy Spirit has empowered the disciples to _prophesy_ and to boldly proclaim the Word of the Lord, and this is exactly what we find in verse 14. Peter “lifted up his voice and _addressed_ them”, but perhaps a better translation would be that he lifted up his voice and _prophesied._ We tend to think of prophecy as a kind of foretelling of future events, but in the Hebrew use, it was more often associated with _speaking forth_ the Word of the Lord. I would argue that, if looking for a gift of the Holy Spirit to assign to Pentecost, it would be more the gift of Prophesy than of Languages.
    No xenoglossy, no modern tongues-speech, just real, rational language(s). There *was* a language miracle at Pentecost provided by the Holy Spirit, no argument there; just not the one most people assume.

    The baptism of the Holy Spirit is when you believe in Jesus and His works. The gift of speaking in tongues is not what most Christians and even nonbelievers think it is. Mainstream Christianity teaches it is some gibberish. That's not it at all. It is just speaking the wonderful works of God as seen in Acts 2. A really good book on this is called, "Spirit-Filled Language" by Aaron Florent. It covers the main questions and ideas surrounding this gift.

    There is absolutely nothing mysterious about Biblical "tongues" - and there is only one type - when referring to something spoken, they are nothing more than real, rational language(s); usually, but not always, unknown to those listening to them, but always known by the speaker(s) - it’s their native language (in some cases, it is a language the speaker has learned).
    In contrast, the “tongues” Pentecostal and Charismatic Christians are producing today is an entirely self-created phenomenon. It is non-cognitive non-language utterance; random free vocalization based upon a subset of the existing underlying sounds (called phonemes) of the speaker’s native language, and any other language(s) the speaker may be familiar with or have had contact with.
    It is, in part, typically characterized by repetitive syllables, plays on sound patterns, alliteration, assonance, and over-simplification of syllable structure. The "nail in the coffin", so-to-speak, is that _any and all_ phonological rules (rules governing how sounds are put together in a given language - what is allowed and what is disallowed) governing a speaker's native language, will _also_ govern their tongues-speech. That fact alone negates anything that can be construed as 'divine' in nature and cements that fact that it is a self-created phenomenon. Further, this subset of phonemes mentioned above typically contains only those sounds which are easiest to produce physiologically.
    Occasionally some speakers will use two or more subsets of phonemes to generate glossolalia, producing what, to them, sounds like two (or more) distinct “tongues languages”, thus claiming to be able to speak in “divers tongues”.
    There is absolutely _nothing_ that “tongues-speakers” are producing that cannot be explained in relatively simple linguistic terms.
    Conversely, when it comes to something spoken, there are absolutely _no_ Biblical references to “tongues” that do not refer to, and cannot be explained in light of, real rational language(s), though it may not be the explanation you want to hear, and it may be one which is radically different from what you believe, or were taught. _Nowhere_ in the Bible is modern tongues-speech advocated or evidenced.
    “Praying in the Spirit” does _not_ refer to the words one is saying. Rather, it refers to how one is praying. In the three places it is used (Corinthians, Ephesians, and Jude), there is absolutely zero reference to 'languages' in connection with this phrase. “Praying in the Spirit” should be understood as praying in the power of the Spirit, by the leading of the Spirit, and according to His will.

    I'm not doubting or questioning the 'tongues experience'; glossolalia as the spiritual tool that it is, can be very powerful and, for many people, the experience is profound. As one commenter put it, “Speaking in tongues distracts the ego/analytical/conscious mind while leaving the subconscious (the heart) wide open to import the divine." Both the spiritual and physical benefits of using this tool are also well documented. Again though, it is important to note that this same statement can be made for virtually _any_ other culture that practices glossolalia. Religious and cultural differences aside, the glossolalia an Evenki Shaman in Siberia, a vodoun priestess in Togo and a Christian tongues-speaker in Alabama are producing are in no way different from each other. They’re all producing their glossolalia in the exact same way; they just have different explanations and beliefs as to why they’re doing it, and where it comes from. It is only in certain Christian denominations where is it construed as something it never was.
    “Tongues” is to some Christian believers a very real and spiritually meaningful experience but consisting of emotional release via non-linguistic ‘free vocalizations’ at best; non-cognitive non language utterance - the subconscious playing with sounds to create what is perceived and interpreted as actual, meaningful speech. In _some_ cases, I would argue that it is clearly a self/mass delusion prompted by such a strong desire to “experience God” that one creates that experience via “tongues”.

    ‘Tongues’ (read, *‘languages’* ) - the divine gift, is the God given ability to effortlessly learn to speak and be understood through real-language barriers. It is not xenoglossy, nor is it modern tongues-speech.
    As a point of note, I’m a Linguist, and let me also add here that I am neither a so-called ‘cessationist’ nor a ‘continuationist’ - I do not identify with either term; in fact, I had never heard the two terms until just late in 2016. As far as I’m concerned, quite frankly, since the Biblical reference of “tongues” is to real, rational languages, obviously “tongues” haven’t “ceased”.
    Another aspect of the modern tongues phenomenon is, of course, the concept of ‘interpretation’.
    “Interpretation of tongues”, which goes hand-in-hand with ‘speaking in tongues’, may also be said to be a self-created phenomenon. Interpretation is a ‘spiritual improv’ of sorts, inspired by one’s deep faith and beliefs. What do I mean by this? Well….
    Interpretations are typically characterized by being inordinately longer than the actual glossic utterance, rather generic and non-specific in nature, and perhaps not surprisingly, open to multiple non-related ‘interpretations’. In other words, have ten interpreters listen to a glossic string and you’ll get ten different (typically unrelated) “interpretations”. In ‘tongues’, ‘The big brown dog is slow’, can also be ‘The small white cat is quick’. These latter two characteristics (‘generic-ness’ and multiple interpretations) do not suggest anything that is divinely inspired. It fails even the most basic tests and criteria that define ‘communication’ itself.
    A common come-back to the multiple interpretation issue is that God/the Holy Spirit gives different interpretations to different people. As one writer put it rather succinctly, “Pentecostal Darwinism does not exist - there’s no mutation or transformation of one message into several for the sake of justifying what is an obvious discrepancy. If this were the case, it would completely eradicate the need for ‘tongues’ in the first place”.
    ‘Interpretation’ (read *’translation’ of the spoken word* ) - the divine gift, is the God/Holy Spirit given ability to effortlessly render one language into another capturing all the minute nuances of one language into the other. An otherwise phenomenally difficult task when dealing with religious texts and prayers. It is not the self-created ‘spiritual improv’ (inspired by one’s deep faith and beliefs) that people are doing today.

    Imagine a person not bearing the Fruit of The Spirit for a very long time, would they believe that they are not baptized in Holy Spirit? Acts 2,8, 10,11 and 19 all confirm that the baptism of Holy is indicated by speaking in tongues…:)
