Greetings in The Name of Jesus Christ, The Gate,
Deeper Things
Tongues:
” And these signs shall follow those who believe: In My Name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues; Mark 16:17 NKJV
And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and begin to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance. Acts 2:4 NKJV
For they heard them speak with tongues and magnify God. Acts 10: 46a NKJV
to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another discerning of spirits, to another different kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues. 1 Corinthians 12:10 NKJV
I thank my God I speak in tongues more than you all; 1 Corinthians 14:18
Therefore brethren, desire earnestly to prophesy, and do not forbid to speak in tongues. 1 Corinthians 14:39 NKJV
The subject of speaking in tongues has resulted in much misunderstanding and division in the Body of Christ. The scriptures, however, are very clear about speaking in tongues. The above scriptures, along with many others, address the topic clearly. As with every subject matter, we must take God’s viewpoint over man’s.
The misunderstanding and division, concerning tongues, is due to several reasons. 1. Ignorance: People have not searched the scriptures on this subject. 2. Denominational lenses: People tend to agree with the denomination they are affiliated with. 3. Personal experience: People have had experiences with the improper use of tongues. 4. Demonic confusion on the subject: Satan does not want the Church praying in tongues.
It may come as a surprise to many that there are four manifestations of this gift. We will address these four in our next letter.
your brother in Christ
P.S. Jesus Christ is coming soon.
Do not be deceived.
