Tongues a Work in Progress
- Last night I attend a taping at Jewish Voice with guest Sid Roth. It was amazing to see the healing taking place, myself included. Contrary to what I have recently heard about speaking in tongues, I also want to note that Sid Roth was able to ask for healing for others through the authority of and in the name of Jesus Christ, without having spoken in tongues during the healing process. When we are filled with the Holy Spirit we can do all things through the power of Jesus, not through the power of tongues. Tongues was an outward sign of the Spirit for the purpose of providing proof for unbelievers. If you go with the flow of the Spirit and act in accordance with that leading, I believe we all have a right to stand united in faith. It is sad to divide the body over things that do not constitute reason for division.
- I found 119 verses in the New Testament dealing with prayer, or tongues. Of the 119, there are only 23 that deal with tongues and out of that 23, only 7 (6%) are positive while a full 16 (14%) are negative. But out of the verses that deal with speaking in tongues directly there is a full 70% of those verses that speak AGAINST speaking in tongues. If it is a prayer language, than it is a one on one prayer language to be used outside congregation settings, as in keeping with the word of God. 1 Corinthians 14:9 CJB It's the same with you: how will anyone know what you are saying unless you use your tongue to produce intelligible speech?
