Actually it's not, not by a long shot.
1) Testing the spirits doesn't mean what you think it does.
1 John 4:1-6 says to not believe every spirit but test them; and saved believers have experienced what they believe was the Holy Spirit coming over them apart from salvation, bringing tongues which is why it never comes with interpretation as that kind of tongue can be found in the world before Pentecost and since God is not the copycat, that tongue is not of Him. 1 John 4:5-6 is a testimony by John that there is a supernatural tongue in the world that the world speak in as from the spirit of error.
1 John 4:[SUP]
5 [/SUP]They are of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them. [SUP]
6 [/SUP]We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.
The real God's gift of tongues is of other men's lips to speak unto the people ( 1 Corinthians 14:20-22 ) and tongues are not used as a sign to already saved believers that they had received the Holy Spirit apart from salvation.
1 Corinthians 14:[SUP]
20 [/SUP]Brethren, be not children in understanding: howbeit in malice be ye children, but in understanding be men. [SUP]
21 [/SUP]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. [SUP]
22 [/SUP]
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.
2) There is no Scripture that teaches a "false practice of tongues' you made that up.
Isaiah 8:[SUP]
19 [/SUP]And when they shall say unto you, Seek unto them that have familiar spirits, and unto wizards that peep, and that mutter: should not a people seek unto their God? for the living to the dead?
1 Timothy 4:1Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; [SUP]
2 [/SUP]Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;
3) You are assuming you know what grieving the Spirit is, without using Scripture, which seems to be your normal.
Kind of hypocritical when you are not normally using scriptural reference either.
4) Walking in the Spirit of Truth is not accusing, create discord, or dissentions those are the works of the flesh and the devil.
Those who use tongues privately usually share the experience of receiving what they believe was the Holy Spirit separate from salvation in bringing that tongue which leads others to preach seeking to receive the Holy Spirit apart from salvation with the sign of tongues OR preach another baptism with the Holy Ghost with evidence of tongues, thus going against scripture when using tongues as a sign to already saved believers when they had received what they believe was the Holy Spirit apart from salvation. Tsk tsk tsk
They sow discord by separating themselves from the body of believers that had only one drink of the One Spirit that we were all baptized by at our salvation.
1 Corinthians 12:[SUP]
13 [/SUP]For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit.
2 Thessalonians 2:[SUP]
13 [/SUP]But we are bound to give thanks alway to God for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, because God
hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth: [SUP]14 [/SUP]Whereunto he called you by our gospel, to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ. [SUP]
15 [/SUP]Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold the traditions which ye have been taught, whether by word, or our epistle.
Since vain & profane babbling nonsense has been linked with the occult and exposed as being of the apostasy, is it any wonder why believers are asking you to prove everything by Jesus Christ, including the tongue that you have?
1 Thessalonians 5:[SUP]
21 [/SUP]Prove all things; hold fast that which is good.
[SUP]22 [/SUP]Abstain from all appearance of evil. [SUP]
23 [/SUP]And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. [SUP]
24 [/SUP]Faithful is he that calleth you, who also will do it.
Jesus is the same today, nowhere in Scripture does it says gifts aren't for today. You are completely against Scripture. And the Spirit of God. Do you know Him? Is He your Teacher?
But I'm done. I've written enough in this thread that the young believers will not be deceived by your blindness.
Well.. maybe I should private message this reply to you then.
