brother and sisters...
gifts are without repentance... and they fall on the wheat and the tare.
so if you claim speaking in tongues is proof of being born again... or being holy spirit filled... then i am afraid you are mistaken by god's own holy word.
for god himself states... gifts are without repentance.
much love and god bless you all.
romans 11:29
[SUP]29 [/SUP]For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance.
1 corinthians 12:4-10
[SUP]4 [/SUP]Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit.
[SUP]5 [/SUP]And there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord.
[SUP]6 [/SUP]And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God which worketh all in all.
[SUP]7 [/SUP]But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal.
THE 9 GIFTS THAT ARE WITHOUT REPENTANCE...
[SUP]8 [/SUP]For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit;
[SUP]9 [/SUP]To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit;
[SUP]10 [/SUP]To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues:
definition of repentance... 1. The act or process of repenting. 2. Remorse or contrition for past conduct or sin...
now add the word without to it... 1. without the act or process of repenting. 2. without remorse or contrition for past conduct or sin...
matthew 13:24-30
[SUP]24 [/SUP]Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field:
[SUP]25 [/SUP]But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way.
[SUP]26 [/SUP]But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also.
[SUP]27 [/SUP]So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares?
[SUP]28 [/SUP]He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up?
[SUP]29 [/SUP]But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them.
[SUP]30 [/SUP]Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn.
the wheat and the tare... receives the rains ( blessings from god ).
