Nehemiah6 said:
Tongues (languages spoken supernaturally) would have ceased when the Bible was completed, so by the end of the first century. Why would they return when the reason for this gift was in the past? Modern tongues (glossolalia) are not biblical tongues (glossais).

Do you see Jesus face to face, now that you claim that that which is perfect has already come?

When looking at the Strong's Greek Lexicon provided for 1Cor13:10 to check out the word "perfect," which confirmed what I thought it meant, I backed up a word and look at the Greek for "the"; 3588: The, the definite article. Including the female he, and the neuter to in all their inflections; the definite article; the.

The Bible isn't a female he, and neither is Jesus, so neither of these can be 'the perfect' which is being referred to.

It is called the gift of knowledge in the Word. When any believer is given to speak by the Holy Spirit, it is usually such, unless it is prophecy, which I believe is already covered in the Word.

As for having this, I have been moved by the Spirit several times n my day, but it is not something I turn on and off, the same goes for any gift of the Holy Spirit. God bless you with such.

Oh, I forgot, yes threads get old but they ae never as old as what is written for us to learn, and again, that by the Holy Spirit.
