Same Holy Spirit teaches all?

There is a "ministry" of speaking in "tongues" and there is a "personal" use of speaking in tongues.

1Co 14:2 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.

Personal "tongues" is for speaking directly to God.

Ministry "tongues" for speaking to men with an interpretation given by another person.

1Co 14:27 If anyone speaks in a tongue, let there be two or at the most three, each in turn, and let one interpret.
1Co 14:28 But if there is no interpreter, let him keep silent in church, and let him speak to himself and to God.
1cor. 14.2 he was saying if a person is speaking german and im american i cant understand him. But God can.
 
I am very serious in asking thisand wul really like an answer because i do not know.

In the early church, it seems everyone was on the same page.
Exceptions of course.
But if the Holy Spirit teaches all about one subject or topic in the bible,why so many interpretations.
You can ask about a certain verse or doctrine and get 100 different interpretations.
'An enemy hath done this' (Mat. 13:28)

Hello @lentz,

Paul told Timothy, in his last epistle before his martyrdom that, 'This thou knowest, that all they which are in Asia be turned away from me; of whom are Phygellus and Hermogenes.' (2 Timothy 1:15) so there was a falling away from the truth taking place even then. The Scriptures are God breathed, and pure. The interpretations are of man, and open to error.

Timothy was told to study to shew himself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, (2 Timothy 2:15), while those around him were arguing about this Scripture and that, Paul told Timothy to rise above all of that and concentrate upon rightly dividing the word of truth, and thereby be approved of God.

Thank you
In Christ Jesus

What's Pentecostal faith ?

Greetings all,

the term used, 'Pentecostal Faith', is nowhere to be found in Scripture so it is advised to be careful regarding it's use.

I do not wish to start an argument nor continue one.

If we are discussing Bible, we must be careful that we do not resort to ideologies above what is actually given for us to read and understand.


Bless you ....><>

On t

On the day of Pentecost they all spoke in a language they did not know. It was those who heard them that the interpretation was came.

I would offer. . . No such thing as a sign gifts. (Charismatism) I did it it proves it . Jesus called those who would make him into a circus seal seal a evil generation no faith (tongue of God prophecy) by which they could please or our unseen Holy God.

Tongues is prophecy. . . God's interptation to us.

As a law spoken of below its foundation is found in isaiah 28. God mocking those who mock his word called a tongue.

1 Corinthians 14:21-22 In the law (isaiah 28) 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.Wherefore tongues (prophecy) are for a sign, not to them that believe, but to them that believe not: but prophesying (prophecy) serveth not for them that believe not, but for them which believe.

God does not make noises without meaning and expect to have a witness or following. . He pronounces intelligent words Like "let there be Light" and it was good.

Same kind of faithless Jew that demanded they have a man to teach them .They had no faith in the tongue of in a unseen God . But rather mocked God falling back slain in spirit of judgment just as prophesied .

Isiah 28:9 -13 The people say, “Who does he think he is trying to teach and explain his message to? Does he think we are babies who were at their mother’s breast only a very short time ago? He speaks to us as though we were babies:

They mocking God using language without understanding.

“Saw lasaw saw lasawQaw laqaw qaw laqaw Ze’er sham ze’er sham.”


So God will use this strange way of talking,(language without understanding. ) and he will use other languages (with understanding) to speak to these people. In the past he spoke to them and said, “Here is a resting place. Let those who are tired come and rest. This is the place of peace.”

But they would not listen to him. So the Lord’s words will be senseless sounds to them:

Saw lasaw saw lasaw.Qaw laqaw qaw laqaw. Ze’er sham ze’er sham.”

When the people try to walk, they will fall backwards. They will be defeated, trapped, and captured.

I agree. This subject has nothing to do with salvation at all.
I shouldnt have allowed myself to wade so deep into the weeds.
 
1cor. 14.2 he was saying if a person is speaking german and im american i cant understand him. But God can.

I would offer. . The unknown tongue comes from our sufferings and inward moaning . . . (Romans 8:26). . . .

Only God alone knows the hearts of all mankind and prepares their hearts for growth The person speaks mysteries. . . not prophecy. . (understandable words", the declared will of God.

1 Kings 8:38-40King James Version What prayer and supplication soever be made by any man, or by all thy people Israel, which shall know every man the plague of his own heart, and spread forth his hands toward this house: Then hear thou in heaven thy dwelling place, and forgive, and do, and give to every man according to his ways, whose heart thou knowest; (for thou, even thou only, knowest the hearts of all the children of men;) That they may fear thee all the days that they live in the land which thou gavest unto our fathers.

1 Corinthians 14: 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. (unknowable )

I do not think it has to do with language barriers. But more how can we hear the voice of the gospel the tongue of God..

In that way signs preaching the gospel called the believers "new tongue" followed that they have been empower to both believe and go out with the good news that raises the spiritually dead. .

The key signs follow. . . not lead, not something we seek after. No different than the metaphor poison of serpents to indicate false prophecy being drank or taken in will not effect the believer as a sign that follows. . . . . as it is written (sola scriptura) The reforming authority in any generation.

Mark 16:16-18King James Version16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.

God is no longer bringing any new tongues as prophecy after any manner .We have the perfect. sealed with seven seals til the end of time..

It would seem Christians have a similar example King Saul the people's choice. . . A warning not to seek after signs to wonder after. wondering is not believing, Believing the tongue of God is believing. .


Certainly we do not seek after things to wonder after ? ? ? ? workers with familiar spirits. . . . . venerated sinners .

1 Samuel 28:6-7King James Version And when Saul enquired of the Lord, the Lord answered him not, neither by dreams, nor by Urim, nor by prophets. Then said Saul unto his servants, Seek me a woman that hath a familiar spirit, that I may go to her, and enquire of her. And his servants said to him, Behold, there is a woman that hath a familiar spirit at Endor.
 
1cor. 14.2 he was saying if a person is speaking german and im american i cant understand him. But God can.
How can a person speak in German when he is speaking in an “unknown tongue”? That would be speaking in a known tongue.
 
1 Corinthians 14: 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. (unknowable
1Co 14:13 Wherefore let him that speaketh in an unknown tongue pray that he may interpret.

I am a cessationist.
Those signs ended with Apostles.
 
1Co 14:5 I wish you all spoke with tongues, but even more that you prophesied; for he who prophesies is greater than he who speaks with tongues, unless indeed he interprets, that the church may receive edification.

Greater is he who prophecies (in a known tongue) then he who speaks in a unknown tongue UNLESS he interprets in a known tongue, then they are equal.
 
It would be unknown if the hearer is mexican
1Co 14:2 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.

speaketh not unto men but unto God…..no man understandeth him…

or an Angel.

1Cor 13:1; If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but do not have love, I have become a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal.

Mark 16:15; And He said to them, "Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation.
Mark 16:16; "He who has believed and has been baptized shall be saved; but he who has disbelieved shall be condemned.
Mark 16:17; "These signs will accompany those who have believed: in My name they will cast out demons, they will speak with new tongues;
Mark 16:18; they will pick up serpents, and if they drink any deadly poison, it will not hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.
"

Where does it say this in the Bible? This would be adding to the Bible. Besides that, there were people who weren't apostles who did these things.

Acts 6:8; And Stephen, full of grace and power, was performing great wonders and signs among the people.

Acts 11:28; One of them named Agabus stood up and began to indicate by the Spirit that there would certainly be a great famine all over the world. And this took place in the reign of Claudius.
Acts 21:10; As we were staying there for some days, a prophet named Agabus came down from Judea.

Luke 2:36; And there was a prophetess, Anna the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher. She was advanced in years and had lived with her husband seven years after her marriage,

I might be able to come up with a few more.

During early church,yes Stephen and others did miricles. But that was in starting the church. No need now.
We dont have to argue the point,as its niether here nor there.

Sorry. The words in red i couldnt read. Bad eyesight. Sorry
 
1Co 14:2 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.

speaketh not unto men but unto God…..no man understandeth him…

Thats what i said.
But let me ask this,what language does God speak? He understands my thoughts. I dont have to pray out loud. Why bother with this unknown talk? I think before i speak when talking to God. This unknown business,you may be cussing him out and not know it.
But to each his own
 
For we were all baptized by one Spirit so as to form one body—whether Jews or Gentiles, slave or free—and we were all given the one Spirit to drink.

For just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function, so in Christ we, though many, form one body, and each member belongs to all the others.

One person considers one day more sacred than another; another considers every day alike. Each of them should be fully convinced in their own mind.

Accept one another, then, just as Christ accepted you, in order to bring praise to God

Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love.

When there are many words, transgression is unavoidable,
But he who restrains his lips is wise.

For there are many rebellious men, empty talkers and deceivers, especially those of the circumcision

Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world

Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and [that] there be no divisions among you; but [that] ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment.....

"they were not on the same page, they Gave Apostle Paul so many problems with all of their ungodly and sinful ways!" He wrote them letters because of all of their sinful ways, because they bought all of that"greek pagan God worshipping into their new found religion. and Paul, had to straighten them all out! and He let them know, he was not playing,"] They thought Apostle Paul was weak!

Exceptions of course.

The Problem with many.
Ephesians 3 KJV

14For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, 15Of whom The Whole Family in heaven and earth is named, 16That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be Strengthened with Might by HIS SPIRIT in THE INNER MAN; 17That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in [Benevolence] 18May be able to comprehend with "All Saints" what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; 19And to know the {Benevolence] of Christ, Which passeth Knowledge, that ye might be filled with all The Fulness Of God.

Many have not that "Spirit Strength". Many are Not familiar with Working Out at "THE POWER HOUSE GYM" for many do not labor at "The Parakletos" Bench Press! and Develop "
Spiritual Muscles" In GOD!

So they do not realize even in GOD you must Lift ,so one can: "be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; 19And to know the {Benevolence] of Christ, Which passeth Knowledge, that ye might be filled with all The Fulness Of God.


They, always, will "proclaim","You do not need all of that"

And call us, who do,... nothing But Fools, who waste our time. in Foolishness, by lifting The Weights of GOD's "WORD" and many get mad, when we become "Heavy", and instead of GOD's People coming Up, they want us, to come down, and be weak, and lie down on the ground.


It is a matter of Maturity in Christ Jesus !" we grow every one grow, in many different kinds of ways, the same how we learn and grow up in our natural life, some cheat and some do not, So it is in the natural some is it inThe "SpirituaL" "Types and Shadows" of that which is to come. If " you sow by cheating you will reap what you sow" "if you are lazy in your sowing you will reap what you sowed" "if you skip things and words in your sowing =, you will reap what you sowed" And if you planted Lies in your sowing, you
will reap what you sowed"


"if you planted it, you are Going to reap it"

"Study to Show GOD"

Now here is a person cheating in their studying, and they think they got someone fooled, Now read this real slow. now pray over it.

1 Corinthians 3;6
…5What then is Apollos? And what is Paul? They are servants through whom you believed, as the Lord has assigned to each his role. 6I planted the seed and Apollos watered it, but God made it grow. 7So neither he who plants nor he who waters is anything,
But Only God, Who Makes Things Grow.…:eyes:

Did you see that?


Now read this:

King James Bible Matthew 13;12
For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance: but whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that he hath.

Luke 8:18
Pay attention, therefore, to how you listen. Whoever has will be given more, but whoever does not have, even what he thinks he has will be taken away from him."

You see, I Learn this stuff by reading the Bible when I was a Young Preacher. I didn't want to miss something.:sob: I read it All over and over again and over again. I Told my wife, look at this, do you see what this say here? She would look at me like I was crazy. I would tell her, I ain't going to do that.

I read every word, i did not skip nothing!

everyone is not on the same level, A 2nd degree Black Belt in Okinawa full contact is not on the same level as A white belt, and purple belt and green belt or Blue Belt or brown belt, but they all are good fighters,,,But Once Belt belt status you do not fight, no one any more , you will not fight at all. but other ranks will, but you will never defend yourself, unless you are a killer in the The military . Many ranks do not understand that concept.. until they they reach a certain rank. I am not a killer even in Self defense,, I will not defend myself, I am not a killer.


It is all about The High ranking,,,Jesus Never defended Himself, Neither did all of the other Prophets.

why the many interpretations, it is the level of their "spiritual' wisdom and knowledge Given to us By God himself, you cannot learn The wisdom of God on your Own, It must be taught by Him, according to His Will and Not ours.



And God will make you think you are learning the things God and you are not. "whatsoever a man sows" He watches over us.
