19 While Apollos was at Corinth, Paul took the road to Ephesus. When he arrived, he found some believers there. [SUP]2 [/SUP]He asked them, “Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you became believers?”
“No,” they answered. “We haven’t even heard that there is a Holy Spirit.”
[SUP]3 [/SUP]So Paul asked, “Then what baptism did you receive?”
“John’s baptism,” they replied.
[SUP]4 [/SUP]Paul said, “John baptized people, calling them to turn away from their sins. He told them to believe in the one who was coming after him. Jesus is that one.” [SUP]5 [/SUP]After hearing this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. [SUP]6 [/SUP]Paul placed his hands on them. Then the Holy Spirit came on them. They spoke in languages they had not known before. They also prophesied. [SUP]7 [/SUP]There were about 12 men in all.

Acts18:24
Appollos
[SUP]24 [/SUP]At that time a Jew named Apollos came to Ephesus. He was an educated man from Alexandria. He knew the Scriptures very well. [SUP]25 [/SUP]Apollos had been taught the way of the Lord. He spoke with great power. He taught the truth about Jesus. But he only knew about John’s baptism. [SUP]26 [/SUP]He began to speak boldly in the synagogue. Priscilla and Aquila heard him. So they invited him to their home. There they gave him a better understanding of the way of God.

No,I didnt ask you a question at all. You spoke about the order of tongues I agreed with you. Im not babbling.I already agreed with you.

i am 'sorry' to say finally to you, friend, you are 'just' tying to 'cover' your 'mistake tracks', in your 'self' order, to hold on to your 'reputation' and your church, in this 'forum of LORD JESUS CHRIST' and continue in 'vain' repetition of 'lawlessness'.

The 'lambs and sheep of the Living GOD' shall 'distinguish' in their 'Spiritual knowledge faith', between the 'spirit of error and the spirit of truth' in 'action' here, period

 

[fredjames]

Everyone, apart from us who are 'called' into 'faith', please remember 'as it is written', Paul have been given a 'title' as 'Apostle' and an 'instrument' to all of us.

Please 'address him' as Heaven have given 'him' this 'title'.

We have 'just' strained out a small fly for GOD in our still 'delusion ministry', according to a 'partially carnal/flesh/self 'self' faith ministry in our living years'.

We 'scarcely' achieved what he have achieved for CHRIST, the 'church of the Gentiles', written in the HOLY BIBLE.

fred...no one knows what you want and I'm not sure you do either

it may be a case of language, but I'm not all that inclined to think so

 

[MarcR]

1 Cor 14:20-23
20 Brethren, be not children in understanding: howbeit in malice be ye children, but in understanding be men.
21 In the law it is written, With men of other tongues and other lips will I speak unto this people; and yet for all that will they not hear me, saith the Lord.
22 Wherefore tongues are for a sign, not to them that believe, but to them that believe not: but prophesying serveth not for them that believe not, but for them which believe.
23 If therefore the whole church be come together into one place, and all speak with tongues, and there come in those that are unlearned, or unbelievers, will they not say that ye are mad?
KJV


1 Cor 12:27-31
27 Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular.
28 And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of tongues.
29 Are all apostles? are all prophets? are all teachers? are all workers of miracles?
30 Have all the gifts of healing? do all speak with tongues? do all interpret?
31 But covet earnestly the best gifts: and yet shew I unto you a more excellent way.
KJV

[In the Greek, these are rhetorical questions which anticipate a negative response]


1 Cor 14:1-9
Follow after charity, and desire spiritual gifts, but rather that ye may prophesy.
2 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.
3 But he that prophesieth speaketh unto men to edification, and exhortation, and comfort.
4 He that speaketh in an unknown tongue edifieth himself; but he that prophesieth edifieth the church.
5 I would that ye all spake with tongues, but rather that ye prophesied: for greater is he that prophesieth than he that speaketh with tongues, except he interpret, that the church may receive edifying.
6 Now, brethren, if I come unto you speaking with tongues, what shall I profit you, except I shall speak to you either by revelation, or by knowledge, or by prophesying, or by doctrine?
7 And even things without life giving sound, whether pipe or harp, except they give a distinction in the sounds, how shall it be known what is piped or harped?
8 For if the trumpet give an uncertain sound, who shall prepare himself to the battle?
9 So likewise ye, except ye utter by the tongue words easy to be understood, how shall it be known what is spoken? for ye shall speak into the air.
KJV

In these 3 passages, Paul makes clear that tongues are not a measure of anyone's Spiritual walk.

Therefore, i am sorry to say, you just acting like 'an outsider' like 'some', and not at all 'witnessing written faith' to the lambs and sheep of the Living GOD in CHRIST, even though after 'all', that have been 'witnessed in Spiritual sound doctrine knowledge faith' in my 'given Spiritual sound doctrine knowledge faith replies', and 'as it is written' in the HOLY BIBLE.

GOD bless you in the name of LORD JESUS CHRIST.

well, it was before the other time when it happened, but you know what it was, when there was no more

even so, it does not matter, because when it did, no one knows so, well, time to say goodbye and in the end where we left it, the grass was still too long

yuh know?

Well you have just 'responded' in the 'fruit' of 'self'.

May GOD the FATHER of our LORD JESUS CHRIST, forgive you and bless you and 'all', with 'spiritual discernment', according to 'Spiritual Word/Teaching' of 'All inspired Holy Scripture' written in the HOLY BIBLE.

Fred James I fear you do not understand English.How can I be in error when I agreed with your post? I said you were right! I think you speak a language other than English and simply dont understand what I am saying.I said you were right in your post.I did not disagree. Was I making a mistake to agree with you?

i am sorry to say, you are just a 'distraction' to what have been 'Prophesied', for the 'lambs and sheep', who 'hear the MASTER's voice and HE knows them and they will follow HIM'.

Please all of you, do not agree with me but the written, 'All Holy Scripture', inspired by the HOLY SPIRIT and our 'only' given 'Teacher', the 'anointing placed in us', and by HIM, to 'practice' and 'abide' and 'bear much fruit' and 'our fruit must abide'.

Those who have been 'exposed' by our LORD JESUS CHRIST through the HOLY SPIRIT, are to 'repent' and 'learn' first, who long to 'teach', but have not 'taught' themselves according to the New Covenant/testament/Agreement.

First of all, 'you' are not 'perceiving' your 'position' in the 'kingdom of GOD' in 'faith'.

Numerous 'cautions' have been 'kindly' imparted to you, 'little kaylagirl', bot you remain in 'ignorance'.

This is so far and for now, just as 'a reminder and a stir up of memory' according to the written 'Holy Scripture', given to you and all women in 'faith'.

You have not replied and answered by our LORD JESUS CHRIST, 'as it is written', but 'otherwise' of 'worldly character' to 'justify'

Fred, you should stop with this passive aggressive nonsensical writing. You're insulting others and degrading them as "outsiders" and even so, placing yourself above them. Also, take some english classes and learn how to articulate yourself in a way that is understandable. You are using far too many apostrophes.

Kayla agreed with what you were saying, she was coming in agreement with what the Word says. The glory doesn't go to you, but God, because its His word. I don't know why you are pressing her and trying to out her as defending herself but you are the one she is defending herself from. Maybe you should consider why someone is defending themselves against you. Where are you at fault? Possibly you should try a different approach.

 

[fredjames]

Let us 'discuss' therefore about the 'distributed gifts' given to 'all believers' in the church/a gathering and how they should 'use them there' in 'oneness', in 'submission' and 'obedience' to the 'every word that proceeded out of the mouth of GOD', that is 'Grace and Truth', according to the New Covenant/Testament/Agreement made with 'us'?

Ok,how should I have answered? I agreed with you but am still in error? That doesnt make sense.

Well do you your'self', realize according to the written Holy Scripture, claiming in 'deservingness' and 'worthiness' addressing 'Apostle Paul', as 'Paul'.

Why?

Do you 'self', claim to have 'done' CHRIST's ministry better than 'him', in order to 'witness' to us 'him/Apostle' as 'just nothing', in order for us to 'recognize' your witnessing, and is 'just'?

 

[fredjames]

Those who remain here according to the 'Tread', are you coming 'personally' or according to the 'discussion'?

'Unknown tongues' the 'topic', 'lawless ones', do you all remember and not 'self conviction', forgetting the 'lambs and sheep' of GOD?

 

[fredjames]

Beloved, lambs and sheep of GOD, what happened in the day of 'Pentecost' and in the house of Cornelius is during when the church/a gathering have not been 'establish'.

'As it is written', in 1 Corinthians, chapter 12 to chapter 14, the church/a gathering has been 'established' and the 'gifts' of the HOLY SPIRIT have been 'distributed' to all 'believers'.

Therefore not everyone can speak in 'unknown language', but only 'some', while the others have other 'gifts' to 'serve' in the church/a gathering as well, as 'all are gifted gathered in one place'.

 

[BenFTW]

Pride seeks a title, and it is the Lord who gives such. There are people in the body of Christ who may be apostles, prophets, teachers, and evangelists but do you address them as such? Teacher so and so, prophet so and so, or apostle so and so? I like how one evangelist described those who tell others to address them as prophet so and so. "Prophet Ick" Get it? Prophetic.

Do you seek a title, or do you seek to serve? Is it the title that appeals to you, or the service of which you provide? Paul, the apostle, indeed was an apostle but surely his title did not define him as much as what he did. It is the Lord who gives the office, and we should honor that, and the person that the Lord has chosen for that particular purpose. However, addressing Paul as Apostle Paul in quoting what he says in the Word makes no difference in what was said, only that Paul said it. That an apostle said it makes no difference in the matter. Its in the Word, and thats what makes it matter.

Don't worry, however, I do say apostle Paul sometimes and at other times in my sentences I say Paul. Paul witnessed early on people arguing over who was greater than the other, by which gifts they had. Surely he could care less to be addressed as "Apostle" and would much rather be described as a servant of the Lord, among fellow servants.

I understand what you are saying, but do not think I mean any disrespect in writing Paul instead of Apostle Paul. It is only a convenience to not have to write out apostle every time I say Paul. The Apostle Paul, or Paul, said in the NT, is ever so clear to who I am quoting. Describing him as apostle or not, does not take away from the words he spoke, they are in the Word. To be honest, however, when I am speaking of the apostle Paul, I think I usually do reference him as apostle. So, maybe you just caught my rare post where I didn't post it as such. Anyhow, maybe we can get back to the topic at hand?

I am spirit filled, and have been since I was saved. But I do not speak in tongues anymore. I pretended to in my days of going to Pentecostal/charismatic churches. But I do believe it was my flesh, trying to be spiritual, and not my spirit.

I do believe that God sometimes gives someone another language (read: a real language on earth) so that the listeners can come to Christ - missionaries and evangelists, for a certain situation and time. But that is not this noisy babbling nonsense you hear in so many charismatic churches.
