Simply put . . . It builds you up spiritually (edifies you). It's okay if you don't understand what you are saying - God knows exactly what you are saying . . . It's your spirit speaking directly to God, who is Spirit.

"the perfect of verse 10 is the completed word of God the bible". I just don't see it because the "perfect", we will see "face to face" . . . don't see the scripture "face to face". Now we know in part but then (when that which is perfect is come) we will know even as we are known. Sounds a...

Yes, they had the witness of the Apostles . . . Amen!

Yes, so I can see that it could be hyperbolic in nature but it doesn't negate the fact that when one speaks in tongues they are "speaking the tongues of men or of angels". The context of verses is emphasizing that if I do all these things, have all these things energized by God but operate them...

Well, in all actuality, it wouldn't be humans speaking the language of angels, per se, but God energizing man to speak the language of angels. But again, if not done in love - worthless nothing!

Thank you shrume for posting the verse . . . I couldn't find it!!!

Thank you but I know what an hyperbole is . . . :giggle:

I entered in the phrase "angel from heaven preaches a different gospel" into Biblegateway and there were 0 usages of that phrase - that's why I asked you if 2 Cor. 11:4 was the verse you were speaking about. If the verse you are quoting does not exist - how can you compare the two? Are you...

The "knowledge" spoken of in 1 Cor. 13:8 has to do with another one of the manifestations of the Spirit listed in 1 Cor. 12:8-10 - message of knowledge . . . as are the other two things listed - prophecies, tongues - if we are to keep all things in context.

hyperbole - exaggerated statements or claims not to be taken literally - Why should we take this statement, "Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity (love), I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal" - as being an hyperbole? Is this the verse you...

What do we do with - "BUT the manifestation of the Spirit is given to all for the common good." . . . Manifestation is NOT the same as a gift. Gifts are given individually - those gifts listed in Romans 12:6-8 are the "distributions" in 1 Cor. 12:4,5 as are the gift ministries listed in...

New knowledge has ceased because God is no longer bringing any new revelations???? God tells me stuff all the time - driving in my car, he may direct me in another direction to avoid an accident. He lets me know what I should pray for in a given situation in a person's life. He tells me lots...

1 Cor. 12:13 shows us that all Christians have been baptized in one spirit. The only way every Christian is when they confess Jesus as Lord and believe God raised him from the dead - they are saved, i.e. made whole, born again of the Spirit. They are synonymous terms. Repent and be baptized...

In context . . . I see that if the spiritual matters spoken of in 1 Cor. 12 are not operated in love; they are nothing. Perfection will not come in a believer until Christ returns and we will shall see him as he is for we shall be like him. The Corinthians were letting pride interfere with...

Just wondering - after saying all of the above - are you saying that all 4 instances listed above are the same and received at the time one believes in Jesus Christ? "Baptized in holy spirit" = "receiving" the holy spirit = equals "sealed" with the holy spirit = "filled" with holy spirit . . ...

Tongues are a sign to those who believe not - What does it show them? If done correctly (v27,28) and not all at once (v23,24) - it shows them that the Spirit of God and the Spirit of Christ dwell in a believer via the gift of holy spirit. There are it, it may be, so many kinds of voices in...

Again, tongues is not a "gift". Every believer has the ability to operate the nine manifestations of the spirit. It is God who energizes the believer . . . all the gifts, the power, and the manifestations are given and energized by God. NO believer is better than any other believer. Yes, all...
