Oh my friend Latour has joined! I know you will like it here, brother! Good to see you! :)

Uh oh...is angela teaching..??? :eek:

Humans do in fact fly sometimes. When I see a spider, I fly. Pretty sure my feet don't even touch the ground... And then after I calm down I rebuke the spider. I rebuke it with my shoe over and over and over again. The spider knows he's standing on holy cow ground when he sees me take my shoe off.

I kind of miss being able to look at the bottom and see who is currently in the room...:confused:

It's true that speaking in tongues and interpretation of various tongues are listed as two different gifts. But that isn't to say that one person cannot walk in more than one gift sometimes, right? I mean, paul himself spoke in tongues and ALSO healed. So it's possible that one person could...

I can honestly picture two friends present that day. One of them speaks only Hebrew. The other friend speaks both Hebrew and Greek, with greek as his first language. So when they speak together, they can only do so in Hebrew. Then the tongues start, and the man who knows both Hebrew and Greek...

We were discussing this earlier! How the first instance of tongues we are given seemed to be more something to do with the ears of those present - a combination of a manifestation through the speakers AND the ears of the hearers. Because it reads as if they WEREN"T hearing a bunch of different...

hmm...yes, I agree, but for the fact that He draws us and then opens our ears and eyes, we all at one time considered it all nonsense. It seems to read as if some marveled and others mocked. Lot's to think about with a fair amount of wonder ourselves when we read it!

Yes, that is how I understood it too. And oddly, there are some in here who seem they would have been among the mockers on that day! But, they have obviously seen some run amok tongues, to the point where they now believe tongues has ceased. I also saw it run amok but can't say for sure if it...

It reads to me as if some were marveling that they were all hearing them speak in their own language but that some others mocked them, saying they were drunk. I guess I always just thought their unbelief and mocking prevented their hearing their own language spoken as with the others. But it...

Okay, then you would say...He has never energized me to heal. He has only energized me to speak in tongues? Earlier you had said you have the ability to heal but never have because you aren't there yet/don't have enough faith. Have you changed your thought on that at all?

How on earth would you know that God has given no one the gift to interpret various tongues? Just because you may have seen a run amok gathering does not mean they all are. You're not making sense to say because you haven't seen it means it hasn't and doesn't happen...

Not sure what you're saying? Some did not mock. They heard in their own language.

It doesn't read to me as if the mockers DID actually hear anything in their own language. I believe they just heard noises and sounds. I rather thought when I read it that it sounded like some sort of drunk babbling to them. But to others, I think they heard in their own tongue. And I know it...

It doesn't actually say that...

I have never witnessed anyone interpreting at all. The only tongues I have witnessed was with no one interpreting at all. That is why I believed I was witnessing a scene gone amok. Because it says to keep silent unless there is interpretation. And it also says two or three but I heard and saw...

When I make a funny comment, it isn't with the intent of making it a sticking point. It's with the intent of pointing out the funniness (to me) of something. If anyone wants to think they heard the works of God being proclaimed in their own language but did not hear the gospel that saves in...

To another, the interpretation of various tongues...

Again, I disagree. :) 1 Cor 14: 5) I would that ye all spake with tongues, but rather that ye prophesied: for greater is he that prophesieth than he that speaketh with tongues, except he interpret, that the church may receive edifying. 13) Wherefore let him that speaketh in an unknown tongue...

Not sure why this would become a sticking point for us. Hope it doesn't anyway. The most awesome and wondrous work of God is the cross, in my opinion. The entire OT speaks of Jesus over and over. I think it would be impossible to speak of the wondrous works of God and NOT mention Jesus. :)
