Are you going to endeavor to correct me? Perhaps reveal to me some great doctrinal error?
I have bounced some things off of men that I trust to verify or gain greater insight into but actual error? I'm pretty cautious about what I believe. I rely upon Gods word and the Holy Spirit to guide me. To date the Holy Spirit has not failed me.

you don't, eh?
5) He gives us spiritual gifts for the edification of believers.
1 Corinthians 12:4-7 There are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. There are differences of ministries, but the same Lord. And there are diversities of activities, but it is the same God who works all in all. But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to each one for the profit of all:
1 Corinthians 14:12 Even so you, since you are zealous for spiritual gifts, let it be for the edification of the church that you seek to excel.
it's scripture and it has not stopped and that which is perfect is not yet here and it was never a gift only for unbelieving Jews as you are wont to say
here come the objections
Nope just wanting to see if you have ever been wrong according the your understanding of the word of God that's all . You see you can say it because of your pride. Peter was wrong and Jesus corrected Him in a dream . And yes I have been wrong too
and been corrected . But I will never fully listen to aman who cannot say that they have been wrong in thier understanding of the word of God. that is pride and error.

I am saying that I often do know what I am praying about and have seen that is so after the fact
there are times I do not know, but I will keep asking but we do not always know
if you are praying for a missionary over in some land you have never been to, do you not trust that God hears and answers your prayer?
see, this is not babble as some would mock. this is real and as personal experience is subjective, you need to understand that the Bible is not
the main objective of God sending the Holy Spirit to indwell believers is to give them power to witness of Christ...of the gospel
it isn't tongues or another gift. the Holy Spirit always glorifies Jesus. the gifts serve a purpose. they are not an end in themselves
and as understanding what is being spoken in tongues is also a gift I would understand that at least in my own life, I do pretty much understand what is going on
but again, that is subjective, although I speak the truth
but you know, if people want to change or disbelieve scripture they will continue to do so
So you want to judge me? Well if you demonstrate from Gods word that I am in error I would be only too happy to receive the correction. Subjective interpretation will not serve as evidence that I am not in harmony with Gods teaching.
Peter was not wrong doctrinally only in some sanctification items.
Some here believe that tongues are of such magnitude that if you do not speak in tongues you are not saved. Perhaps you could devote some teaching on why that is incorrect. My teaching would obviously biased. LOL

Good list 7seasrekeyed but you left out a couple of important elements
a God given prayer language - praying in the Holy Spirit directly to the throne of grace
the Spirit of adoption wherein those truly baptized in the Holy Spirit become sons and daughters of our
Father in heaven through our Lord Jesus Christ
9 But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ,
he is none of his.
15 For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry,
Abba, Father.
16 The Spirit itself bears witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:
17 And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also
glorified together.
Romans 8:

Great idea but scripture is what has caused to confirming signs of tongues to cease. The authority of the speaker is now in the bible and no longer dependent upon the man. Apostles and prophets needed to demonstrate their authority in the early church.
Scripture in 1Cor does say that the sign of tongues is for unbelievers. Scripture also says that it is Jews that seek signs and not Gentiles. So yes it is in scripture. It just doesn't suit your narrative.
It's ok because I won't accuse you of not being saved like some would do to me as a non tongues speaker.

Complete rubbish.
In The Revival Fellowship we operate diversity of tongues followed by interpretation in full accordance with the rules
for such laid out by Paul the Apostle.
Prove to the world that there is no raising of the dead today.
Show us your evidence to support such a crass ignorant statement of unbelief.
