Then you should put on your ignore listYou make ignorant and argumenative posts unworthy of response.
I do not understand why do we have to prove that speaking in tongue is ceased or vice versa? Its not in the scripture that it is ceased for everybody. When its needed God will provide. If God stop it for some reason, for some person for a time let it be. If God gives anything than let God give. He can bring good out of evil too. Why this kind of thing bother us? Instead of that lets celebrate and share the love of Jesus with them who don't know.
Thank you for answered.
You judge my questioning this teaching as unbiblical, wirhout showing me that this teaching was taught in the bible?
Show me were it is taught to other believers that speaking in tongues is a sign that someone got the Holy Spirit In the bible.
If you cant show me, of course I hold this teaching for unbiblical.
The pentecostal movement is proud to claime that their beginning was in 1900 with Agnes Ozman, Topeka and later in Azusa Street. It is interesting that the RCC charismatic movement is also proud and see their beginning in 1901 because the Pope Leo XIll declared the century to the Holy Spirit inspired through the italian nun Helena Guerra who asked him to renew the church through a turn to the Holy Spirit and his Gifts.
You told me I am unbiblical because I said special gifts were given special people for a special time.
Samson had his Power for a special time for a special purpose.
Can you show me one Single believer today, through whom such miracles are done as from Paul? (f.e. acts 19,11-12)
Out of the montanism, which startet around in the year 160, there is not to found that speaking in tongues was practised in the churches anymore. And people join this movement because they remebered the apostolic time ( f.e. what was useual in the corinthian church) and thought it was from God.
So show me where this teaching is biblical.
Then I am glad to join your view.
Good Morning Aidan1,
Not to disregard You in anyway, but this Thread was created for other Members to bring forth the Truth -
Which they have - and i will answer any questions that they have not covered for you.
PLEASE review Posts# 50, 61, 77, 80, 81, 83, 86, 105, 128, 144, 154, 155, 158,
Good morning Dave, then maby you should make the next time a hint that this thread is only for pentecostal and charismatic believers.
I questioning this truth, if it is build up on an unbiblical doctrine. And it seems so, because you cant show me that it is biblical.
Amen, Precious friend, and The TWO Main ones that should Concern us Most?:And today there are a lot of false teachings in the church of Christ to find.
op: Cessation of gifts
Yes, agree.
As usual, your typical mocking and unbelief.
Stay off this thread since it is 'unbiblical' - otherwise show from the Scripture that which is Biblical concerning the baptism of HS7.
When i grew up we had a saying: "Put up or Shut Up"
If you don't like that and think what i just said is "un-Christ like" - let me remind you of the words of Christ.
Then Peter took Him aside and began to rebuke Him, saying, “Far be it from You, Lord; this shall not happen to You!”
But He turned and said to Peter, “Get behind Me, Satan! You are an offense to Me, for you are not mindful of the things of God, but the things of men.”
Dave you turn the words in my mouth. I have no unbelieve and also i am not mocking. I just dont believe a manmade unbiblical doctrine. And that you are not able to show me that the bible teach this, shows me that I am not wrong, about this issue.
Every person who is bornagain receives freely the Holy Spirit. And the Holy Spirit gives the believer gifts according His will to build up the church.
Speaking in tongues is a gift like every other gift, too.
But according the pentecostal/charismatic movements speaking in tongues is the proof that someone receives the Holy Spirit. What we have since 1900.
Some believe even that you need the speaking in tongues for to be saved, like the oneness pentecostals which splittet some years after Azusa Street revival.
In the beginning of the pentecostal movement this was combined with practices you will find in spiritism. And later in charismatic movements this happend too.
If you want that only pentecostal/charismatic believer join this thread, you should mention in the beginning of the thread.
But the theme of this thread sounds very open for any view.

God and His Spirit will often remain silent when in the midst of a doubters. It may not be your own doubt as much as that of the circle you are affiliated with at any given time. This has been my personal experience. God bless you, Aidan. Keep seeking the good things of the Lord. We shall all meet Him face to face someday. PTL!So, you ley your cloth on others and they healed or demons cast out?
You have confused error of certain church movements with Scripture.
When you do that, you go on your unbiblical accusations.
In my previous post #232 - i rested my case before the LORD of this evidence from your own words.
If you want to grow in the Lord, go to OP and follow the instructions set forth by the Lord which is:
“Moreover if your brother sins against you, go and tell him his fault between you and him alone. If he hears you, you have gained your brother. But if he will not hear, take with you one or two more, that ‘by the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established.’ And if he refuses to hear them, tell it to the church. But if he refuses even to hear the church, let him be to you like a heathen and a tax collector.
The Witnesses found in Scripture on the Gifts of the Holy Spirit bear witness against anyone and everyone who dare claim that the Holy Spirit has 'ceased' from bestowing the Gifts as outlined in Acts and 1 Corinthians.
Anyone who asserts that the Gift of Speaking in Tongues is of the devil will be held accountable before the Lord.
It is for you, Aidan. If you can't believe that God still does, then at least believe that God still can. Even this pleases Him very much.Good morning Dave, then maby you should make the next time a hint that this thread is only for pentecostal and charismatic believers.
All receive the Holy Spirit the moment they are Born Again. Many good Christians never speak in tongues, but that is no reason to assume that anything has ceased.speaking in tongues is the proof that someone receives the Holy Spirit.
That is not what the Bible says...Some believe even that you need the speaking in tongues for to be saved,
Satan has filled the world with fakery and fraud. We must not let this cause us to doubt the truth.practices you will find in spiritism.
Maby you should read my last post 231 again,
I go little more in Detail.
I never heared some teaching that speaking in tongues is like all other gifts, mentioned in 1. Cor 12 or Romans 12, 4-8 ( where no gift of speaking in tongues is mentioned)
Acts is not teaching about speaking in tongues. It tells from the beginning of the church through coming of the Holy Spirit. And as sign for his coming he gave the Speaking in tongues ( languages). And for the jews to know that the Holy Spirit came for all he repeat this with the Samaritans ( Acts 8) the gentiles (Acts 10) and the disciples of John the baptist( Acts 19)
Instead pentecostals and charismatics teach the gift of speaking in tongues always combined with the baptising with the Holy Spirit.
The practice of this teaching you find not before 1900. You find speaking in tongues before 1900 in the newer time almost in cults like new apostolic church.
Well, i often enough repeating this.
Because it was not taught in the bible to other believers I dont see a reason to trust this doctrine.
In opposit Paul taught very clear that not all believers will get the gift of speaking in tongues and the prefer more the gift of prphecie then the gift of speaking in tongues.
