oh
southern baptists changed their policy on speaking in tongues
and they will now admit missionary candidates who speak in tongues
according to this article speaking in tongues is an ancient christian practice
recorded in the new testament in which people pray in a language they
do not know understand or control
let's take a look and see what the bible actually says about speaking in tongues
actually the term speaking in tongues is never found in the king james version of the bible
you have to get one of these new perversions of the bible like the niv
to find that phrase in the king james the terms we have are speak with new tongues
speak with other tongues speak in our tongue speak with tongues the term speaking in tongues
is never found let's take a look at acts chapter 2 to see what the bible says about speaking with
tongues acts chapter 2 verse 1 through 11 and when the day of pentecost was fully come they
were all with one accord in one place and suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of
a rushing mighty wind and it filled all the house where they were sitting and there appeared unto
them cloven tongues like as a fire and it set upon each of them and they were all filled with
the holy ghost and began to speak with other tongues as the spirit gave them utterance and
there were dwelling at jerusalem jews devout men out of every nation under heaven now when this was
noised abroad the multitude came together and were confounded because that every man heard them
speak in his own language and they were all amazed and marveled saying one to another behold are not
all these which speak galileans and how here we every man in our own tongue wherein we were born
parthians and meads and elemites and the dwellers in mesopotamia and in judaea and kapodosia and
pontus and asia fregia and pamphilia and egypt and in the parts of libya and sireni and strangers
of rome jews and proselytes cretes and arabians we do hear them speak in our tongues the wonderful
works of god notice that the bible defines the word tongue for us here in verse four it says
they began to speak with other tongues and in verse six it says that every man heard them speak
in his own language so tongues are languages also notice that these languages are understood
languages it is not this pentecostal gibberish that no one understands
all throughout the bible the word tongue is either the physical tongue that is in your mouth
or it is talking about a language the purpose of this miracle in acts chapter 2 was to get the
gospel of jesus christ into every nation and tongue see if we look at acts 2 verse 5 there
were dwelling at jerusalem jews devout men out of every nation under heaven so there are people
in jerusalem at that time out of every nation under heaven the bible tells us 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 but if there be no interpreter let him keep silence in the church and let him speak to
himself and to god so no more than two at the most by three and by course you know in order
take turns and let one interpret so what is an unknown tongue an unknown tongue is simply a
language that you do not speak or understand chinese is an unknown tongue to me i do not speak
or understand chinese so someone shouldn't come into the church that i go to and start preaching
in chinese unless they have an interpreter the bible is very clear here that if there isn't an
interpreter people should not speak in unknown tongues and also notice that it is by course
in order one at a time and only two are at the most by three is this what we see in the so-called
tongue speaking churches absolutely not we see a bunch of people speaking gibberish and no one
knows what they are saying the person doing the speaking doesn't even know what they are saying
for god is not the author of confusion but of peace as in all churches of the saints so if god
is not the author of confusion what is causing these people to sometimes uncontrollably speak
things that they nor anybody else understands i believe that this modern gibberish speaking
movement is either one of two things either they are faking it or they are actually demon possessed
take a look at some of these people they have no idea what they are saying and many times they
cannot even control their body movements can you fake it you can learn it if you can learn it you
can fake it some of the young people we met actually did admit to faking it at least in the beginning
all these teenagers around me had this ability that i never really understood or wanted to be
a part of and so because i felt kind of left out in the same that i didn't have it i started
faking it and it was just like make up words and just say whatever came into my head just to
because everybody was doing it but in a team prayer meeting like this one brian hepalite says
he finally got the gift the actual gift of speaking in tongues is something that's real sacred that's
between you and god that you can't fake or imitate
those who claim to have the ability to speak in tongues believe that they've been baptized
in the holy spirit but to a newcomer it's incomprehensible i probably sat about midway
through a service and then thought those two people up on the stage and that was pastor
randy and paula white are crazy looked like chaos to me people falling on the floor people praying
and things that i didn't understand and i in the band singing and everybody and i turned around
and i walked out jacqueline knight says she's not quite sure how it happened especially in light of
her sober religious background but five years ago she became a believer and now is a spokeswoman for
the church when you're praying you don't really it's not really me talking it's the spirit inside
of me communing to god but like most who speak in tongues she has no idea what she's saying
it's almost like a baby learning to talk when you're a baby and you learn to talk you have
certain sounds so when you first start speaking in the spirit there's certain sounds that you make
and you don't know what they mean i don't know what it is i'm saying but if you were to ask me
right now to say something in my prayer language yes i could pray in it do i know what words are
going to come out right now i can say did that mean anything my spirit meant something to my
spirit man
so
remember god is not the author of confusion also for god have not given us the spirit of fear but
of power and of love and of a sound mind these people are not of a sound mind be sure to like
