So ive been reading about receiving the holly spirit. and it says that one of the signs is that you are speaking in tongues. are there any other signs and does this still happen?
New King James Version (NKJV) ACTS 19:
[SUP]2 [/SUP]he said to them, “Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed?”
So they said to him, “We have not so much as heard whether there is a Holy Spirit.”
[SUP]3 [/SUP]And he said to them, “Into what then were you baptized?”
So they said, “Into John’s baptism.”
[SUP]4 [/SUP]Then Paul said, “John indeed baptized with a baptism of repentance, saying to the people that they should believe on Him who would come after him, that is, on Christ Jesus.”
[SUP]5 [/SUP]When they heard
this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. [SUP]6 [/SUP]And when Paul had laid hands on them, the Holy Spirit came upon them, and they spoke with tongues and prophesied.
Yes, to both questions. I think the scripture speaks to your question.
I personally have been baptized in Holy Spirit w/ evidence... and have
been used in prophecy. It is a gift we do not take for granted, nor do
we mock it. I know many do not believe this is for today. God gives only
good gifts. It is up to us to ask and receive. God bless you.
