I can tell you that the false prophets speak in a language well known because they have a greater advance in the deceptionMany times when I see tongues being spoken by one or more and each utterance interpreted by the same person, I wonder if the spirit speaking giving the utterance of the tongue is of God or of Satan. A few years ago God lead me to this scripture.
1Jonn 4:1 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.
Suggestion. Speak your favorite scripture in a your favorite language. If it is interpreted correctly, or no one attempts to interpret it, the Holy Spirit is the one interpreting the spoken tongues. If it is interpreted incorrectly, flee the tongues venue.
Don't take me wrong. I believe that Holy Spirit still uses tongues. I also know that Satan is just as adept at using them. I caution all to beware of Satanic utterances masked as tongues in your gatherings.
you do not need to apologize FYI i'm not the first to say itI apologize CS1...just realized I should of asked your permission first. So sorry...
Thank you for the clarification.

Has anyone ever challenged your spirit? If so how did you answer? If not how would the matter be settled?in my experience when one has been corrected they have not previously been corrected so they were ignorant or unlearned. They most of the time were very open to the Biblical correction . some felt if they did not, (not speak in tongues) it was quenching the Holy Spirit. We show them in scripture the Gifts of the Holy Spirit are not of the spirit of out of control or without self control.
those who have been shown and do it again are spoken to by the Pastor and elders if they do not agree they are told you can no longer exercise what you think is " gifts of the Holy Spirit" . Now the context of "false spirit " maybe over kill , because remember some are unlearned or taught error . The Holy Spirit is very long suffering with us in all areas this is why Pastors have to be called and hearing from the Word of God. Those who do not adhere to the pastor are in error .
I have preached in many churches where the pastor told me "You can not speak in tongues" I said ok sir you are the Pastor I submit to your authority and leadership as I come under your covering. Maturity goes along way and unity Jesus wants that and the Holy Spirit inspires that.

Well, anyway...what I said was that the gift doesn't necessarily mean there is an office. That's the call of God on one specifically.
The body however, should seek to prophesy..
Can't do a thing without the anointing of the King...lol I like the signature of CS1 but changed it just a bit to make it mine.
Is services and offices the same thing?Well, didn't Paul come after this? And didn't he set up the order of the services?
What do you mean by, "Those who do not adhere to the pastor are in error"?

I am assuming you believe you have some godI'm not sure what you mean my spirit ? you mean has anyone ever corrected me ? yes of course . has anyone ever told me to stop after I have spoken no I have never had that happen. the end result is what has or does speak for the gift being used. example
the gifts of the Holy Spirt have to edify, comfort and build up and Line with the word of God.
Preaching has to produce salvation, edification, instruction, and comfort .
if they are not doing that then they are just human action right?
Does the question rub you the wrong way? Does it apply to you? Is it not a fair question?And the hammer of disbelief finally drops....you are about as predictable as summer rain in the Rockies.

Can those who claim physical supernatural gifts of the Holy Spirit be challenged?
I most certainly believe in the supernatural. But it is tacit mockery of the Holy Spirit to accept any claim as from the Lord. Surely you agree with this?And the hammer of disbelief finally drops....you are about as predictable as summer rain in the Rockies.
Of course Jesus could heal me but we are not talking about Jesus.Jesus himself could heal you of cancer and you would look at him and say:
YEAH BUT......
I don't think soJesus himself could heal you of cancer and you would look at him and say:
YEAH BUT......
If HE initially healed the man/woman.... what else would one be looking to or looking for?Of course Jesus could heal me but we are not talking about Jesus.
