God's gift of Tongues Are Not for Private Use

Not open for further replies.
Who is Kenneth E Hagin?

Why would God interrupt a sermon filled with scripture with uncontrollable holy laughter? He wouldn't because He is not the author of confusion.


Then you compare that video with the one about Khundalini & see that there is nothing funny about this at all

 
Titus 3:10 "If people are causing divisions among you, give a first and second warning. After that, have nothing to do with them."

We have all stepped out much further than 2 warnings, so it can only be deduced that you are unteachable concerning this matter.
Our rebuttals are sound but you cannot hear us. Your rebuttals do not fit the way that you believe they do.

When I said that the NEW CREATURE within you is the one speaking to his Father, and not the Holy Ghost, you rejected it. Although that is exactly what the private tongue is for.

I need no evidence or proof or a miracle and never did, but He gave those anyway of His own volition. I am truly sorry that you do not see this as a personal matter between
the child of God and his Father, maybe someday God will show you, but for now I guess not.

No offense here, and truly do not feel unsafe at all. But I will not keep butting my head against a SEMINARY taught disciple of whatever that thinks we need his input for a
Sunday school lesson somewhere down the road. I will only give myself a headache.

And as the Holy Ghost hath taught me, there will I abide.

Let's recap your verse;

Titus 3:10 "If people are causing divisions among you, give a first and second warning. After that, have nothing to do with them."

You started the division by speaking of another baptism with the Holy Ghost with evidence of tongues as happening apart from salvation, also known as the second blessing, did you not?

You & others were proclaiming something extra that other believers do not have. You are allowing that extra phenomenon to cause division in the body of Christ by departing from this testimony below.

1 Corinthians 12: 13 For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit.

You departed from that testimony that we are all suppose to share, The act of dividing the body of Christ is on you. I was just reminding you of what we all are suppose to share in and not to depart from that faith in Jesus Christ.

You are my brother and you are saved even if you do get left behind when the Bridegroom comes. My concern is for you & others not to miss the rapture because of the warning in Revelation 2:18-25.

I understand that you want to cling to that experience and never want to test that phenomenon by the scripture, so we can agree to disagree.
 
We are not a leaky vessel that needs a continual filling of the Spirit after salvation because we are a new creature able to hold the Holy Ghost forever thus sealed as saved as a testimony from God that we are saved by faith in Jesus Christ.
This confirms to everybody that you have absolutely no idea about what you write of. In the end you post unlearned opinion.
 
You started the division by speaking of another baptism with the Holy Ghost with evidence of tongues as happening apart from salvation, also known as the second blessing, did you not?

I did not start the thread nor did I make any claim that tongues come apart/separate from the infilling of the Holy Ghost.

You & others were proclaiming something extra that other believers do not have.

Maybe they do have it but are just convinced that to use it is not of God as you teach. I would add that many so called believers are just that, believers or scared of Hell, but not
actual KNOWERS of the Lord.

The act of dividing the body of Christ is on you.

Again I did not start the thread YOU DID.
Without the Spirit ye are none of His. Romans 8:9 ....................... Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ he is none of His". Pauls statement, not mine, though I agree with it.
Gal 4:6 And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of His Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father. I guess you portend that the crying child must not be heard
except by God?


My concern is for you & others not to miss the rapture

You know not of what you speak for the gathering occurs when the Lord returns after the tribulation. Matt 24:29-31 compared to Rev 6:9-11 Study Rev 6:11 to see what happens
to those still left alive and why. They did not miss anything as it had not occurred yet, but are still fulfilling the will of God for them. Then in Rev 6:12-17 the 6th seal is opened and
the same thing as spoken in Matthew 24:29-30 is seen, then the gathering takes place. 31

so we can agree to disagree.

Indeed.
I am Holy Ghost taught and you by self admission are Seminary taught. Therefore, we probably have little in common.
You are convinced you are a disciple of Christ. I believe you are just a disciple of the Seminary and it's teachings.

There are many, many people in this world that believe themselves to be of the Lords flock, but they have not the Spirit of Christ and are truly just "church" goers. Though well
versed they remain outside the body of Christ and are easily spotted by the doctrines they espouse.

So we can let this rest as the true pursuit is for Love (Agape) and not continual discussion over the doctrines, baptisms, etc... Heb 6:1-2 1 Co 13:1-8 All things including tongues
will fade away, but charity (Love) will remain. Therefore seek to become what God is and let the rest go, it's only noise.
 
What would you really be giving up when you can pray normally to know when you get an answer to prayer and read the scriptures to know you are getting edification and to know when you are praising God in worship? Better to know than not.
Again you have no idea or experience about the power of the indwelling Holy Spirit.
How about you reveal your church and faith for us to ramble on with endless criticisms of your failings to live the gospel.
 
I did not start the thread nor did I make any claim that tongues come apart/separate from the infilling of the Holy Ghost.

I agree that you did not start that thread but that is not what I was referring to. I am talking about how you started the division by departing from what we are all suppose to share per 1 Corinthians 12:13 by claiming to have something that other believers do not have.

Indirectly, you did start the division in this thread by citing there are professing Christians that did not have the Holy Ghost.

Samson2020 posted: I know a lot of professing Christians that do not have the Holy Ghost, they're just Bible readers, well versed, but are not part of the flock. "Without the Spirit ye are none of His"
It is this group that are held captive by the "church" and continue to be robbed every Sunday, and will be those that fall away when what they believe does not come to pass
according to the timeline they hold. Rapture that doesn't happen will cause their faith to completely fall apart.
They have no personal relationship and only believe, they do not KNOW HIM or His voice.
I realize the Bible speaks of the believer, but those who know Him are knowers, not just believers. ~~~~~~end of quote

Your statement from this post confirms it again.

Samson2020 posted: Maybe they do have it but are just convinced that to use it is not of God as you teach. I would add that many so called believers are just that, believers or scared of Hell, but not
actual KNOWERS of the Lord. ~~~end of quote

So basically you are still teaching unwittingly a division that you see in the body of Christ just because they do not speak in tongues,. but you think I and others teach them not to believe in it, is that not correct?

The thing is, you are basing your claim for having an experience that led you to believe others do not have the Holy Ghost. Therefore how can they get that experience? Seeking the infilling of Holy Ghost?

Samson2020 posted "But I received that gift at the infilling of the Holy Ghost. I never used it for anyones edification other than my own. I have never been given utterance in a group.
The spiritual son of God that is in me speaks for me. Thats it." ~~~ end of quote

Indeed.
I am Holy Ghost taught and you by self admission are Seminary taught. Therefore, we probably have little in common.

What self admission have I done in regards to being Seminary taught?

You are convinced you are a disciple of Christ. I believe you are just a disciple of the Seminary and it's teachings.

Which Seminary and what teachings?

There are many, many people in this world that believe themselves to be of the Lords flock, but they have not the Spirit of Christ and are truly just "church" goers. Though well
versed they remain outside the body of Christ and are easily spotted by the doctrines they espouse.

Did you know that former believers are still saved? Even though they deny Him for why they are at risk of being denied by Him, but even then, when left behind as denied by Him, He still abides per verse 13 of 2 Timothy 2:11-13

Paul gives an example of a former believer in 2 Timothy 2:18 but nevertheless they too are still called to depart from iniquity because of that foundation laid that is assured ( 2 Timothy 2:19-21 ) as well as the seal of adoption that is not going anywhere. Ephesians 4:30 When they depart from iniquity, they can be accepted as the vessel unto honor in His House, but if they do not depart from iniquity, they get denied and left behind to die ( Revelation 2:18-25 ) in becoming that vessel unto dishonor in His House, vessels of wood & earth but still in His House 2 Timothy 2:20

So we can let this rest as the true pursuit is for Love (Agape) and not continual discussion over the doctrines, baptisms, etc... Heb 6:1-2 1 Co 13:1-8 All things including tongues
will fade away, but charity (Love) will remain. Therefore seek to become what God is and let the rest go, it's only noise.

Maybe if you had not voiced your opinion about how some professing believers do not have the holy Ghost which Romans 8:9 says they are not saved then, I am not sure how I can let others read that and go without His love by saying that what you share just is not so.

And with that Baptism section in Talk Jesus's Statement of faith the way it is, leaving doubts to professing believers that they have the Holy Ghost because they do not speak in tongues, basically you are supporting it, right?

To all the readers out there, I pray the Lord ministers to your heart that you are saved because by your believing in Him is the work of the Father for otherwise you would never be able to believe in Him, not even in His name.

John 6: 44 No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day.

Matthew 11:25 At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes. 26 Even so, Father: for so it seemed good in thy sight. 27 All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him.

John 6:37 All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out. 38 For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me. 39 And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day. 40 And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.

John 3:18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. 21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.

John 1:12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: 13 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.


Certainly not by a sign of tongues.

Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. 2 For by it the elders obtained a good report.

Galatians 3: 14 That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith. .... 26 For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. 27 For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ.

So just the fact that you are believing in Him is a work of the Father for why you should know you are saved by faith in Jesus Christ

When believers defend tongues for private use, they are ignoring Paul's teaching on gifts are not for private use & more importantly, none of those gifts are gained by having another drink of the One Spirit that we are all supposed to share in that same testimony as baptized into one body by.

1 Corinthians 12:7 But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal:

11 But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will. 12 For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ. 13 For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit. 14 For the body is not one member, but many.

19 And if they were all one member, where were the body? 20 But now are they many members, yet but one body. 21 And the eye cannot say unto the hand, I have no need of thee: nor again the head to the feet, I have no need of you.

Then Paul began using hyperboles in explaining why love is better than anything else for why tongues are not of angels since he is not like sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal

1 Corinthians 13:1Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal. 2 And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing. 3 And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing.

Paul has certainly not sold everything and given to the poor and gave his body up for burning either les he has become a ghost writer. Hyperbole. Just as referring to tongues of angels is a hyperbole, an exaggerated sense of tongues which is not being done in reality.

Then those who speak in tongues try to claim that tongues are for private use by inserting their meaning in complete disregard for why Paul is exhorting the gift of prophesy over all spiritual gifts in verse 1 ad then explained why by comparing tongues against prophesy for why prophesy is the better gift to seek after in the whole message of that chapter because tongues is not a stand alone gift for it needs interpretation for the tongue speaker to truly benefit when he understood what that tongue is saying as manifested by the Holy Ghost.

1 Corinthians 14:1Follow after charity, and desire spiritual gifts, but rather that ye may prophesy. 2 For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God: for no man understandeth him; howbeit in the spirit he speaketh mysteries. 3 But he that prophesieth speaketh unto men to edification, and exhortation, and comfort. 4 He that speaketh in an unknown tongue edifieth himself; but he that prophesieth edifieth the church. 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.

Discern with Him now.

2 Corinthians 13:1 This is the third time I am coming to you. In the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word be established.

Paul cannot claim he speak more in tongues than them all unless he had witnesses to that truth therefore not for private use as this was done in the assembly as witnessed before all.

Paul is not saying the tongue speaker is speaking to God because he is in the assembly where no man understands him but God does, as the tongue speaker speaks in mysteries to those around him but God understands that tongue. That does not mean he is speaking TO God because there are no mysteries to God for why he is not speaking TO God. Paul is meaning God understands what us being said as manifested by the Holy Ghost. God's gift of tongues can be self edifying but only when interpreted for Paul to benefit from that tongue.

12 Even so ye, forasmuch as ye are zealous of spiritual gifts, seek that ye may excel to the edifying of the church. 13 Wherefore let him that speaketh in an unknown tongue pray that he may interpret. 14 For if I pray in an unknown tongue, my spirit prayeth, but my understanding is unfruitful. 15 What is it then? I will pray with the spirit, and I will pray with the understanding also: I will sing with the spirit, and I will sing with the understanding also. 16 Else when thou shalt bless with the spirit, how shall he that occupieth the room of the unlearned say Amen at thy giving of thanks, seeing he understandeth not what thou sayest?

Tongue speakers ignore verse 13 and point to verse 14 as if Paul is praying in tongues when he is really praying someone will interpret that tongue. everything Paul has said about tongues is being done in the assembly and not for private use. tongue speakers for private use are inserting their tongues in there when Paul is explaining why prophesy is better than tongues because it is not for private use.

17 For thou verily givest thanks well, but the other is not edified. 18 I thank my God, I speak with tongues more than ye all: 19 Yet in the church I had rather speak five words with my understanding, that by my voice I might teach others also, than ten thousand words in an unknown tongue.

The only way Paul can say that if tongues were done in the assembly where there are more than 3 witnesses to that truth. He cannot testify of tongues for private use when there are no witnesses.

20 Brethren, be not children in understanding: howbeit in malice be ye children, but in understanding be men. 21 In the law it is written, With men of other tongues and other lips will I speak unto this people; and yet for all that will they not hear me, saith the Lord.

Verses 20-21 is Paul giving the bottom line on what God's gift of tongues are for, being of other men's lips to speak unto the people.

22 Wherefore tongues are for a sign, not to them that believe, but to them that believe not: but prophesying serveth not for them that believe not, but for them which believe.

And yet believers are using tongues as a sign or proof of salvation or proof f Gd calling them into the ministries or as the early Catholic Church claimed, proof that they are keeping the doctrines within. I cannot find that latter info again, but it is so. I would not be surprise that believers that fornicate use tongues as a sign that everything is still okay between Him & them. Is everything okay between Him & the catholic Charismatic Church? I think not. Therefore tongues are not supposed to serve as a sign nor proof to the believers about anything but to the believers.

And yet they preach another baptism with the Holy Ghost with evidence of tongues ( used to be heralded as "by that sign of tongues" ). Red flag. That is why that tongue is not coming with interpretation as it is a voice of stranger's they follow for climbing up another way John 10:1-5

Then getting back to Paul on tongues; I remind you abut verse 2 in how a tongue speaker speaks unto God but not to God but He understands what is being said as we read this below.

26 How is it then, brethren? when ye come together, every one of you hath a psalm, hath a doctrine, hath a tongue, hath a revelation, hath an interpretation. Let all things be done unto edifying. 27 If any man speak in an unknown tongue, let it be by two, or at the most by three, and that by course; and let one interpret. 28 But if there be no interpreter, let him keep silence in the church; and let him speak to himself, and to God.

How can Paul instruct someone to be silent IF that tongue was manifested by the Holy Ghost just because there was no interpretation? And yet at the end of the chapter he has written not to forbid speaking in tongues in the assembly but order and decency must be maintained?

Reread the 3 verses of 26-28. When you have 2 or 3 speak in tongues, one by one, and another interpret, when you have a practice like that in the assembly, a foreign visitor could very well stand up and speak out of turn. That is why he is to keep silence because he speaks to himself, meaning he understands what he is saying as God does too, not that he is a crazy person speaking to himself and to God.

There can be no speaking in tongues quietly to oneself when even whispering bothers people around them trying to listen to the sermon or in this case, when 2 or 3 speak in tongues for that one to interpret it.

Just another example of how tongue speakers for private use today try to insert that tongue for private use into scripture when that is not what Paul is saying. Indeed, they make Paul look like an idiot for exhorting prophesy over tongues as they are today hyping believers to seek another baptism with the Holy Ghost with evidence of tongues and not prophesy when there is no other baptism with the Holy Ghost to seek after salvation.

That is why I do not believe God's gift of tongues were ever meant for private use.
when Jesus said "tslyha

19 And if they were all one member, where were the body? 20 But now are they many members, yet but one body. 21 And the eye cannot say unto the hand, I have no need of thee: nor again the head to the feet, I have no need of you.

That is why he is to keep silence because he speaks to himself, meaning he understands what he is saying as God does too, not that he is a crazy person speaking to himself and to God.

There can be no speaking in tongues quietly to oneself when even whispering bothers people around them trying to listen to the sermon or in this case, when 2 or 3 speak in tongues for that one to interpret it.

Just another example of how tongue speakers for private use today try to insert that tongue for private use into scripture when that is not what Paul is saying. Indeed, they make Paul look like an idiot for exhorting prophesy over tongues as they are today hyping believers to seek another baptism with the Holy Ghost with evidence of tongues and not prophesy when there is no other baptism with the Holy Ghost to seek after salvation.

That is why I do not believe God's gift of tongues were ever meant for private use.
When Jesus said "talitha cumi"
he spoke in tongues out loud in front of other people
When believers defend tongues for private use, they are ignoring Paul's teaching on gifts are not for private use & more importantly, none of those gifts are gained by having another drink of the One Spirit that we are all supposed to share in that same testimony as baptized into one body by.

1 Corinthians 12:7 But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal:

11 But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will. 12 For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ. 13 For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit. 14 For the body is not one member, but many.

19 And if they were all one member, where were the body? 20 But now are they many members, yet but one body. 21 And the eye cannot say unto the hand, I have no need of thee: nor again the head to the feet, I have no need of you.

Then Paul began using hyperboles in explaining why love is better than anything else for why tongues are not of angels since he is not like sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal

1 Corinthians 13:1Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal. 2 And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing. 3 And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing.

Paul has certainly not sold everything and given to the poor and gave his body up for burning either les he has become a ghost writer. Hyperbole. Just as referring to tongues of angels is a hyperbole, an exaggerated sense of tongues which is not being done in reality.

Then those who speak in tongues try to claim that tongues are for private use by inserting their meaning in complete disregard for why Paul is exhorting the gift of prophesy over all spiritual gifts in verse 1 ad then explained why by comparing tongues against prophesy for why prophesy is the better gift to seek after in the whole message of that chapter because tongues is not a stand alone gift for it needs interpretation for the tongue speaker to truly benefit when he understood what that tongue is saying as manifested by the Holy Ghost.

1 Corinthians 14:1Follow after charity, and desire spiritual gifts, but rather that ye may prophesy. 2 For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God: for no man understandeth him; howbeit in the spirit he speaketh mysteries. 3 But he that prophesieth speaketh unto men to edification, and exhortation, and comfort. 4 He that speaketh in an unknown tongue edifieth himself; but he that prophesieth edifieth the church. 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.

Discern with Him now.

2 Corinthians 13:1 This is the third time I am coming to you. In the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word be established.

Paul cannot claim he speak more in tongues than them all unless he had witnesses to that truth therefore not for private use as this was done in the assembly as witnessed before all.

Paul is not saying the tongue speaker is speaking to God because he is in the assembly where no man understands him but God does, as the tongue speaker speaks in mysteries to those around him but God understands that tongue. That does not mean he is speaking TO God because there are no mysteries to God for why he is not speaking TO God. Paul is meaning God understands what us being said as manifested by the Holy Ghost. God's gift of tongues can be self edifying but only when interpreted for Paul to benefit from that tongue.

12 Even so ye, forasmuch as ye are zealous of spiritual gifts, seek that ye may excel to the edifying of the church. 13 Wherefore let him that speaketh in an unknown tongue pray that he may interpret. 14 For if I pray in an unknown tongue, my spirit prayeth, but my understanding is unfruitful. 15 What is it then? I will pray with the spirit, and I will pray with the understanding also: I will sing with the spirit, and I will sing with the understanding also. 16 Else when thou shalt bless with the spirit, how shall he that occupieth the room of the unlearned say Amen at thy giving of thanks, seeing he understandeth not what thou sayest?

Tongue speakers ignore verse 13 and point to verse 14 as if Paul is praying in tongues when he is really praying someone will interpret that tongue. everything Paul has said about tongues is being done in the assembly and not for private use. tongue speakers for private use are inserting their tongues in there when Paul is explaining why prophesy is better than tongues because it is not for private use.

17 For thou verily givest thanks well, but the other is not edified. 18 I thank my God, I speak with tongues more than ye all: 19 Yet in the church I had rather speak five words with my understanding, that by my voice I might teach others also, than ten thousand words in an unknown tongue.

The only way Paul can say that if tongues were done in the assembly where there are more than 3 witnesses to that truth. He cannot testify of tongues for private use when there are no witnesses.

20 Brethren, be not children in understanding: howbeit in malice be ye children, but in understanding be men. 21 In the law it is written, With men of other tongues and other lips will I speak unto this people; and yet for all that will they not hear me, saith the Lord.

Verses 20-21 is Paul giving the bottom line on what God's gift of tongues are for, being of other men's lips to speak unto the people.

22 Wherefore tongues are for a sign, not to them that believe, but to them that believe not: but prophesying serveth not for them that believe not, but for them which believe.

And yet believers are using tongues as a sign or proof of salvation or proof f Gd calling them into the ministries or as the early Catholic Church claimed, proof that they are keeping the doctrines within. I cannot find that latter info again, but it is so. I would not be surprise that believers that fornicate use tongues as a sign that everything is still okay between Him & them. Is everything okay between Him & the catholic Charismatic Church? I think not. Therefore tongues are not supposed to serve as a sign nor proof to the believers about anything but to the believers.

And yet they preach another baptism with the Holy Ghost with evidence of tongues ( used to be heralded as "by that sign of tongues" ). Red flag. That is why that tongue is not coming with interpretation as it is a voice of stranger's they follow for climbing up another way John 10:1-5

Then getting back to Paul on tongues; I remind you abut verse 2 in how a tongue speaker speaks unto God but not to God but He understands what is being said as we read this below.

26 How is it then, brethren? when ye come together, every one of you hath a psalm, hath a doctrine, hath a tongue, hath a revelation, hath an interpretation. Let all things be done unto edifying. 27 If any man speak in an unknown tongue, let it be by two, or at the most by three, and that by course; and let one interpret. 28 But if there be no interpreter, let him keep silence in the church; and let him speak to himself, and to God.

How can Paul instruct someone to be silent IF that tongue was manifested by the Holy Ghost just because there was no interpretation? And yet at the end of the chapter he has written not to forbid speaking in tongues in the assembly but order and decency must be maintained?

Reread the 3 verses of 26-28. When you have 2 or 3 speak in tongues, one by one, and another interpret, when you have a practice like that in the assembly, a foreign visitor could very well stand up and speak out of turn.

Where is that in scripture? And was it not a foreign language of men? Can't be gibberish nonsense as found in the world of pagan's supernatural tongues because what would be the point if no one understood it, including Himself??

Not everyone that drive drunk gets in an accident, and so the same for those who text and drive, even though they do cause accidents. Please drive safer by not texting and driving, brother.
 
So just the fact that you are believing in Him is a work of the Father for why you should know you are saved by faith in Jesus Christ
None of your scriptures that you post deny Pentecostal faith and worship for today.
You have read the scriptures with a closed mind and use them to support your doctrine.
I read the same scriptures and understand them through the indwelling Holy Spirit and rejoice that I am Pentecostal.
As for the false claim of senseless gibberish that is only your unlearned opinion - God understands my prayers perfectly well.
Pentecostal Christians enjoy signs, wonders and miracles that confirm the truth of the full gospel of salvation by the power of God.

Romans 15:18 For I dare not speak aught save the things which Christ wrought through me, for obedience of the nations, by word or deed,
19 in power of signs and wonders, in power of the Holy Spirit; so that from Jerusalem, and round about even unto Illyricum, I have fully preached the gospel of the Christ;

1Cor 4:20 For the kingdom of God is not in word, but in power.

The signs, wonders, & miracles is a result of preaching the gospel of the Christ

1Cor 4:20 For the kingdom of God is not in word, but in power.

I see this as repeating this truth earlier.

1 Corinthians 2:3 And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling. 4 And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power: 5 That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.

1 Corinthians 3:5 Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers by whom ye believed, even as the Lord gave to every man? 6 I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase. 7 So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase.

If you want to glory in those moments where supposedly miracles happen that exalts you over other saved believers, and yet you see believers are falling down in a loss of self control, you do so by ignoring Jesus's warning, brother.

Matthew 7:21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. 22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? 23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

24 Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: 25 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock. 26 And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand: 27 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.

Proverbs 25:26 A righteous man falling down before the wicked is as a troubled fountain, and a corrupt spring. 27 It is not good to eat much honey: so for men to search their own glory is not glory. 28 He that hath no rule over his own spirit is like a city that is broken down, and without walls.

Do not revel in nor own those phenomenon when you have been warned by the apostle John not to believe every spirit but test them and knowing the Holy Spirit has been in you since salvation is why that phenomenon that happened later in your life as a saved believer, that was not the Holy Spirit. 1 John 4:1-6 Even Paul warned you 2 Corinthians 11:1-4 & 2 Corinthians 13:5 You are preaching something else in His name and it is the same as preaching another calling as in another gospel.

2 Peter 1:1Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have obtained like precious faith with us through the righteousness of God and our Saviour Jesus Christ: 2 Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord, 3 According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue: 4 Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.
 
Like I wrote before you have no understanding of the baptism of the Holy Spirit and of walking in the Spirit.
Your collection of many scriptures are indicative of your ignorance.
 
If you want to glory in those moments where supposedly miracles happen that exalts you over other saved believers,
So is it jealousy then??
You are in a church where there are NO miracles, healings, signs and wonders. Therefore all others who enjoy these in the Spirit-filled church must then be brought down to your level.
A church where nothing much happens.
 
Where is that in scripture? And was it not a foreign language of men? Can't be gibberish nonsense as found in the world of pagan's supernatural tongues because what would be the point if no one understood it, including Himself??
It is found in Mark 5:41. Jesus spoke in tongues, in public. Jesus is our example ..
and if it was a known language the Bible interpreters would have flat out translated it...instead of simply writing out the syllables and sounds of what He said. .." Talitha Cumi". Look up the verse...I think you will see my point :)
 
Why do Pentecostal Spirit-filled churches enjoy numerous gifts of the Holy Spirit, including faith, healings and miracles ??
Luke 4:17 And he [Jesus] was handed the scroll of the prophet Isaiah. And he opened the scroll, and found the place where it was written,
4:18 The Lord’s Spirit is upon me, Because he anointed me to preach good tidings to the poor; Hath sent me to proclaim release to captives, and sight to the blind, To set free the bruised,
4:19 To proclaim the Lord’s acceptable year.
 
So is it jealousy then??

No. Hardly jealous at all if all I have to do is follow after you.

Miracles happen here in Matthew 7:21-23 and yet Jesus denied them for being workers of iniquity. You need to ask Jesus what that iniquity is for why believers lose self control and fall for not heeding His words that Jesus is the only way to come to God the Ftaher by in worship; not by way of the Holy Ghost.

John 14: 6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

John 10:1 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber.

John 5:22 For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son: 23 That all men should honour the Son, even as they honour the Father. He that honoureth not the Son honoureth not the Father which hath sent him.

Matthew 7:13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: 14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. 15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. 16 Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?

21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. 22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? 23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

24 Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: 25 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock. 26 And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand: 27 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.

and if it was a known language the Bible interpreters would have flat out translated it...instead of simply writing out the syllables and sounds of what He said. .." Talitha Cumi". Look up the verse...I think you will see my point :)

Mark5:41 Holding her hand, he said to her, “Talitha koum,” which means “Little girl, get up!”

Mark 5: 41 And he took the damsel by the hand, and said unto her, Talitha cumi; which is, being interpreted, Damsel, I say unto thee, arise.

Not necessarily so, brother.

What is the meaning of talitha cumi?

" Talitha cumi or talitha koum is a transcription of an Aramaic phrase found in Mark 5:41. Jesus spoke this when He raised Jairus’s daughter from the dead (Mark 5:21–43). Aramaic was the common, everyday language in Israel at that time. Mark interprets the sentence for us: “Little girl, I say to you, get up!” The account of the healing is also found in Matthew 9 and Luke 8, but only Mark records the Aramaic words that Jesus spoke, talitha cumi. "

More evidence from scripture of Aramaic usage interpreted.

John 1: 41 He first findeth his own brother Simon, and saith unto him, We have found the Messias, which is, being interpreted, the Christ. 42 And he brought him to Jesus. And when Jesus beheld him, he said, Thou art Simon the son of Jona: thou shalt be called Cephas, which is by interpretation, A stone.
