This is False. This man John MacArthur is Absolutely, innacurate flipping the Scriptures and making the speaking of tongues Evil. I speak in tongues when i'm praying or worshipping C'mon Christians if you know and live on the Word of God, you will Discern the kind of spirit that tries to operate like the ''holy spirit'' and this man is one of them.
@jwsphoenix I agree with you. when they heard them speaking in their own language...notice it says "in their ears" so although the people were speaking in tongues, the spirit made it so they that heard it (Jews), heard it in their own language.
the holy spirit basically translated itself to those Jews....as a sign.
@amazon7 would you dare to step on snakes and scorpions too? (Luke 10.19) Because if not, you are not telling truth when you say you believe. I was first attending to a Pentecosltal/Charismatic Church and I know all those passages, I have discovered that what they say is not what you see happening. It is hypocrit people deceiving themselves whith some teachis that were not in the churches of the first century.
I have spoken in tongues, he has no clue what he is talking about. It is the most peaceful experience I have ever had. I was alone, I was speaking to God, I was in prayer, I was worshipping him, and I felt this overwhelming feeling of my faith coming over my body. I began speaking in tongues. I fell to my knees and felt this utter peace over my soul, my body, I was very coherent, I could here my self talking in another language, I was shocked and amazed, I could not stop, I felt his presence.
sorry he is reading things into scripture to fit his lack of belief in the reality of speaking in tongues which Paul did more than them all. there is nothing new here.
@shill700 have you read the whole chapter 14 of 1 Corinthians? Please do, and meditate on those words and listen to God not to your teachers. Mat 23.8
@MrHuguinski i have read the entire Bible on a number of occasions. I come from a similiar background to mr macArthur but you need revelation to move into the experience of what it says. knowing the scriptures is not the same as living in the same reality. mr McArthur is coming from a fixed position of being closed to this gift of the Spirit and only God can change that.
@shill700 I first started to attend to a Charismatic group when I came to the Lord, and I have seen that it is only circus. Shows to have people enternained every Sunday. Nothing is true and the prove of it is all the sin there's in those groups. Not saying there's no sin anywhere else but IF they are 'full'of the Holy Spirit, how come they are tha same or worse? Fruit is what will show how much the Spirit abides and controlls someone's life. Not the CIRCUS.
@MrHuguinski i largely agree with what you say about the circus and that fruit of the Spirit is more important but i still dont believe that bibilical definition of tongues ONLY equates to speaking foreign languages.. you have one person here at least that is not into the circus but who still uses a prayer language. bless you. there are many in the same boat as you but who are meeting in houses etc
I totally agree with John MacArthur,this is a total pagan philosophy,mystical experiences,outer body experiences,exstatitic gibberish talking to deities and they praticted this in the Corinthian church and the Apostle Paul addressed them about this on the book of Corinthians.It is a counterfeit of what is happening today in the modern charasmatic movement.
Why would you do such foolishness. If you want to pray to God do it like this. "Dear God thank you for this day amen". Speaking in other lang what the Bible ment is if i was an American wanting to speak to a group of Spanish people I would speak to them in their own lan with a translator. It dose not mean mumbling garbage to the Lord.
This Video looks demonic.... Tongues is a gift from God... Acts 2 read it... and Btw there is such thing as demonic tongues but you would have to be praying to satan not God and satan flees In Jesus' name.
@CarissaMarie037 yes! I was in deep spiritual prayer to God when it happened to me. Its pure, peaceful, and unbelievable. I was alone when it happened to me, its very personal.
@CarissaMarie037 Do you know where Adam and Evee were when Satan came and cause them to seen? Don't take this superficially, Satan has controll over the majority of the so called christian groups today. They all live happy in the world and the world loves them as its own. Only a remanant, a few people are really not being accepted in this world and those are the true chosen ones of God.
@dragon880102 because that is a counterfit and not the real gift. The real gift does not make one roll around. It's peaceful and with total self control.
@heartnmind1 yes! have seen ppl on tv, speak in tongues at the drop of a dime, thats not real, I see ppl rolling as you say, thats not speaking in tongues, thats bafoonery. It is something personal, and it happens only when God choses. I have seen ppl claim that you can get the gift if you pray for it, false. It is a gift only God can give, and it is only given to those he chooses to give it to. Also, a person truly speaking in tongues, is very aware of what is happening. It is incredible.
Wow with in the first 1:30 he distorts the context of the scripture at least 3 times. The first was the severity of the corinthians folly Paul encouraged them to do it in private. The second was the was when he said it was of demonic practices or false doctrine. The truth is the church was diverse thru
Romans 1:20 as above so below. They are without excuse. Why dont preachers use that sermon more, because it prooves their connection with masonry. See paul taught the same thing satan did, so the church either has to give satan his due credit or denounce paul. Of course there are 200+ articles which proove paul was a false apostle anyway.
Thank you so much for sharing this! The video on there scares the hell out of me! I've been to churches where tongues got carried away! Now there is so-called Holy laughter where people roll around on the floor laughing like idiots! The Word isn't being preached nor are these so-called movements being discerned and compared with Scripture! Satan comes as an angel of light...beware.
This message has a religious and demonic spirit in it. Do not let this MAN's interpretation deny you the privilege we ALL have to speak such a heavenly language!
@xjetX08x Heavenly languages? How do you know that? Have you been in there? I have seen these things happening for 25 years and NOTHING is real. It is NOT from God and does not make any of those people better or obedient. The chapter 14 of 1 Corinthians says the way thngs have to be done in a meeting of the church and what the Charismatics do is an pen disobedience of those words which are God's words. Such disobedience is something God will accept?
I was demon posessed before i got saved. I spoke in tounges after. Its way different. I do believe this gift is abused and many times faked by prosperity preachers. I became so dependent on it I thought i was lost if i didnt do it on sunday. My relationship with God is deeper now and although i enjoy tounges it rarely occurs and im ok with that because i know His word and dont rely on feelings for my salvation but trust His word now. How liberating after thinking opposite for years.
"Do not forbid to speak with tongues" (1Cor.14:39). I have experienced the same thing as is written in Acts 2 and you want me to deny it? You deny the very thing that the church is in greatest need for today. Jesus said, "But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you;"(Acts 1:8). You can argue about tongues but no one can argue about the fact that they need POWER in their lives, their families etc. This is the evidence of the Holy Spirit.....Power.
Doesn't this presuppose that God couldn't validate the message without signs, that sounds ridiculous. At best this is an ad hominem attack, and it fails to recognize that men hate God, and God doesn't need signs to prove anything, we are saved by the grace of God, even when there are signs, we need God's wisdom and grace to truly believe. Although Mcarthur is sound in a lot of ways, unfortunately this is just one of his weaknesses.
I wonder, how can people who are Preachers or Pastors that are Not Catholic Have any ability in them at all since they are not of the Apostolic Succession. Pastors that got Ordained by someone that did not follow the succession of Peter are really not valid.
There is a difference between Paul and John on tongues....Paul opens the book with a salutation to the Church at Corinth...he addresses them as a church......and he says Grace and Peace to them. John (MacArthur) calls them pagans. John does nothing but faultfinding.....John says that the tongues are part of an erotic cult that involves sexual promiscuity. John says they are praying to a false God.Paul says the tongues are real and they are praying to God. Why the tension between Paul and John?
MacArthur speaks of a lot of other religions and how they experience altered states of consiousness. Of course there are....there are many kinds of altered states of consiousness.....sleep, halucinations, hypnosis, ecstasy..and so on. But here the Bible is talking of a spritual gift from God. Paul does not say the Corinthians had a demonic gift.....he said that those that pray in tongues pray to God, not to man. That he wishes they all prayed in tongues.
@prairiemark Paul wishes them to continue speaking in tongues....and he sets down guidelines for his anticipated continued excersice of the gift.......no more than one or two at a time...decently and in order....and must have an interpreter...... Paul did not oppose tongues, but MacArthur does. Why is that?
@prairiemark Are you not aware that Paul wasn't congratulating the church @ Corinth? He is rebuking them in 1 Cor 14. Greater is he that prophesieth than he that speaketh with tongues. Why don't you strive for this instead?
@filoIII Of course he was pointing out they were wrong and that they needed to change. What I was pointing out is the obvious difference between how Paul told them to behave and what MacArthur says....MacArthur claims they were praying to a false God...Paul says when they prayed in tongues they were praying to God. MacArthur says tongues was part of a pagan cult. Paul said it was part of Christianity and laid down guidelines for them to use in the future exercise of it.
@prairiemark They're not praying to God. Paul's saying that if a person speaks in an unknown tongue, which is an earthly language according to Acts 2 and not gibberish, it's doing no good and it's as if God is the only one there to hear. Tongues are an evangelistic tool. Are you charismatics trying to evangelize God. You people have a complete misreading and understanding of the Bible and what tongues is. As I said earlier, Acts 2 explains what tongues is--earthly languages people speak.
@filoIII I guess we have to let the Bible speak for itself......you say "theyre not praying to God." Read 1 Cor 14:2 For anyone who speaks in a tongue does not speak to men but to God. All the major translations done by large teams of linguistic experts agree the words mean God.....not "false God" as MacARthur falsely says.
@prairiemark The tongues in Acts 2 are completely different than in I Cor. In acts they were speaking to men. In I Cor they were speaking to God. In Acts no interpreter was needed because everyone heard the speaker in their own language.
In I Cor an interpreter was REQUIRED because no understood them.... If we are honest we have to conclude these are two different phenomenon. (And please cut out the dismisive "you people." You dont know me.
where does ot say to flop around on the ground like a fish out of water, while 'speaking tongues'???? hey i got a challenge for any pentecostal!!! any!!!! 1 thesolnians 5:21 it says prove all things....so challenge...get two interpreters and someone to speak in tongues...seperate the interpreters and ask them what was said and 100 percent chance they will say different things. proof its jot true. amen.
@cccfish10221022 I see the very very dangerous misrepresenation of what 'tongues' is and what it's purpose is. I actually attend a pentecostal church (a rather quiet reserved one).
With no doubt I have proof first hand of what you ask-proof of the falseness. Two people began to 'interpret' tongues that were given at the same time not hearing each other-both were giving completely different interpretations. One stopped, eventually hearing the other. Not a thing was said about it.
@cccfish10221022 I was also wondering why they flop on the ground. The first time I seen this stuff I thought the lady was having a episode or something..lol!
no brother Macarthur, tongues is not useless to edify, tongues is useless to edify the church, it is however USEFULL TO EDIFY yourself. you can't say and dismiss EVERYTHING. it is secondary to prophecy but you make seem like it doesn't exist at all, AND THAT IS NOT BIBLICAL.
Mark 16:17-18 stands there like a solid rock. How can gifts pass away when Jesus confirms His word with them? Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever.
* was it satans presence? you know what the problem it is the problem with churches against pentacostals? they follow their manual more than the bible. for those new the faith, manuals are used as a guide for the church (ironically it was written by man). where in the bible does it imply for the church to follow the manual?
@TheBlanco951 JOHN 17:17 SANCTIFY THEM THROUGH THY TRUTH; THY WORD IS TRUTH. Which means tell the people God's Truth, which is the Word of God KJV, for English speaking people.
you know whats funny. i go to a nazarene church, for those who dont know already, the nazarene church aka district is against tongues and dancing in the name of god. miraculously, my nazarene church walks hand in hand with a pentacostal church. glory be to god for this, this is something very rare. my mom felt the love from god many years ago before she even found out about pentacostal churches. so tell me, was it satans pr
Man, do you all who commented on this call yourself Christian? Because your arguing screams Worldly to me. To all of you who do not believe in the Gift of Tongues. Cool. have fun, go serve God. To you who do believe, cool have fun, go serve God. and to all of you who believe it is demon possessed- remember the story of the Man at the graveyard. Jesus cast out his devils (very weird in his day) and the religious people called him demon possessed.
and to those of you worried about how the church looks to "outside people" stop. Jesus didnt care what the "outside people" thought of him or how he looked. IF you recall in the bible, he preached about eating his flesh and drinking his blood. which caused many to leave. The word "Christian" actually started as an insult. because people were walking around who LOOKED LIKE JESUS. (healing the sick, blind, deaf yadayada) So i would ask most of you here arguing if your representing Christ.
Tongues properly translated in greek is Language. It is not jibberish or babbling in a fashion which nobody understands. It is a gift of language that glorifys God. It has to be understandable or it is a useless gift. Pretty simple to understand.
@ HaRdzstylerR. The meaning of Charismatic meeting is praising God in worships, songs and prayers. But Protestant Christians are known to have distorted it by speaking in tongue, cried and laughed in a satanic possessed way. You're the one who's dumb and shallow.
@John MacArthur. I'm hundred percent sure the Christians who fainted, cried and laughed featured in your video were the Protestants ...definitely NOT Catholics. We Catholics believe that God's Holy Spirit is very gentle...it won't make a person cry or laugh like lunatic! Please be accurate in your speech, John!
@Samaritanable Listen stupid, if you not convinced that this Charismatics is Satanic religion click on Hillsong church and they Satanic friends 1/36 and watch every one of them then you'll see the Satanists for your self.
Regardless how many pagans engage in "ecstatic speech" or how many embrace a false religion, the Apostle Paul declared: "I speak with tongues more than ye all!" For every counterfeit put forth by Satan, there is the genuine article. Shame on Mr. MacArthur for throwing the Holy Ghost out with the Babel Water.
Actually in the book of Enoc he was told that the clouds are the first Heaven. And because your in the flesh you cannot understand the spirit nor spiritual laws, therefore you cannot understand why or how God works in the way he does except for what the mortal mind can grasp. . And sinners are not the only ones that are punished while still alive those whom believe go thru tribulation as well so we may be pureifed. Those with closed minds will never understand God or his will.
@housechurches be careful brother there is no greater triumph than what jesus christ did on the cross, there is no greater revelation than that, keep your eyes on jesus less you lose your way
Hmmm so they tried to build a tower to heaven god got scared so gave them different languages......Fast forward to what we now know.
1, there is but outer space above the clouds
2, lack of oxygen to allow workers to build any higher
3, No structure could reamain free standing that high
So with even this little knowledge then I have to ask Why god; who KNOWS everything ( points 1-3) would even have a hint of worry in a tower being built. Explain.
@stonewall1888 God does not fear anything we do because He is sovereign. In this story, God was angry with their disobedience. Genesis 11:4 says, "Then they said, “Come, let us build ourselves a city, with a tower that reaches to the heavens, so that we may make a name for ourselves; otherwise we will be scattered over the face of the whole earth.”" They were attempting to exalt themselves like gods, and they were disobeying the command God had made to scatter over the face of the earth.
@dpupke1 funny how as time goes by that we learn life skills, such as how to be assertive, in which we learn how t tlk and negotiate problems and discuss them ina manner in where evreyone is heard.....and yet GOD gets angry!!! Not a very well skilled being.
Still the tower would not reach heaven as points already said so would it not be better too let them build a tower then realise that they could not finnish it due to my previous points.....??
What about Mark 16:17; Acts 2:4 mr. McArthur ? What are you preaching ? What kind of spirit guide you ? Anyway , this is not the Holy Spirit speaking through you! This is a sin against The Holy Spirit Mc Arthur ! REPENT TODAY ! ! ! Read Acts 8:15 !
The weak need things like this. The strong do not need god as a crutch to help them. Because they are intelligent enough to know that they can handle this world themselves. You just need to expand your thoughts, so you can grasp what reality really is
John MacArthur Is so smart he's foolish on this subject.. the Holy Ghost is a gift.. a sign that the believer was filled with the spirit was evidence of speaking in tongues... he will answer to God for his blasphemy against the Holy Ghost... there is tongues for personal edification and tongues for edification of the church... its spelled out very plainly in this chapter... he has knowledge but no revelation... he has no Holy Ghost... this teaching by MacArthur is blasphemy... that's Bible!!
@shamabeachboy have you actually ever opened the Bible? let alone, have you actually read it?
no where in the Bible does it say what you say, yet it says the opposite of what you say. I have been a part of the pentecostal church and can testify that it is wrong. What dells in those churches and people is not the Holy Ghost. If tongues was for self edification, why does everyone in the Bible it tells us to humble ourselves? humbling and edification are opposites.
That is a bunch of crap...all those people going crazy and shaking and speaking in tongues. That actually is scary and looks more like they are possessed by demons!
1 Corinthians 14 NIV 1 Follow the way of love and eagerly desire gifts of the Spirit, especially prophecy. 2 For anyone who speaks in a tongue[a] does not speak to people but to God. Indeed, no one understands them; they utter mysteries by the Spirit.--By failing to include this scripture, Mr. MacArthur teaching is not lining up with the word of God therefore it is a FALSE teaching. I encourage all viewers to do your own research for God's truth. Blessings to all!
@ladyingold777 You forget why 1 Corinthians was written, to rebuke the Corinth church. They were all seeking tongues, and nothing to edify the church. Prophecy was a gift which edified the church. If you put that verse up, then you must also include this verse
27 If anyone speaks in a tongue, it should be by two or at the most three, and each in turn, and one must interpret; 28 but if there is no interpreter, he must keep silent in the church; and let him speak to himself and to God.
This is 21rst century? people are real sick in the head.whatever they learn in science and in all the ages since Antioch and its synogues where this Paul from taursus started doing such wierd psycho somatic stunts the primitive folk then took to be sure mark of spirituality.No wonder things like scandals and mafia links get reported- when laity are like some totem pole .
@blessedwithoutmeasur READ UR WORD PLZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ, dats what i need u to do TONGUES is a gift from God and it says that in his word and when u 1st receive the gift of tongues some ppl do not understand at 1st what they are saying but understanding comes from fasting, praying, and reading that what UUUUUU need to do, u sound so ugh....sigh... i'm prayin for u!!!!!
@Tatibaby09 thats in a church servise the gift of tongues unless you have a person to explain what you just said ,I speak in tongues in my private life ,it is a prayer to God and in 1 cor 14 2 we speak mysterys it is a perfect prayer because it is designed by God, I already know about what it says about tongues been saved and babtized in the Spirit along time,
@teachmedailyGod Yes, I have attended a few churches where tongues was spoken, never an interpreter as Paul instructed. Jibberish. And the chaos in and what you see is not of God. That is at the very least, the flesh. God is a God of order.
Speaking in tonges is biblical but it is not demonic eighther. James 4:8 There is something very wrong with this video. They wanted to feel the presence of God and the devil moved in? James 4:7
the old test has little info about tongues because it didn't come till after Jesus died on the cross, Jesus said in John 14, -17 , bringing in the tower of babble is a false way to explain a new test gift as in 1corth, 14, it is either Jesus lied or mccarther did , he john must know that tongues is a prayer language, for the body of Christ ,read your bibles everything you want to know about tongues is in there,there are whole chapters on tongues , lots of mis understanding about tongues,
@blessedwithoutmeasur why would God want you to pray in a language that no one understands,not even yourself.doesnt it make since that God wants you to go and preach the gospel in other countries or to people of other countries, so therefore He bestows upon you the gift of tongues (languages) so you can accomplish His goal, or does it make more since that He we would speak in gibberish?
@charliebuck1000 1 cor 14 : we speak mysterys secrets thing that havent happend yet God can bless any one just open up to him don't be a closed door, yes it would be usefull in other countrys to preach but it is used here in my bedroom ,to pray out the mysterys of God in a private setting, It is used to pray out the plans of God ,
seen a pedophile 'act-out' in church with joy!!!! what a joke - he was faking....probably was happy, but gives 'the real thing' cause to be questioned by others
You are so wrong brother, read the book just published, "The death of a legacy of error" a prophetic word of correction to the church where it destroys the doctrine of the initial evidence, and gives clear teaching on the baptism of the Holy Spirit, and the gift of tongues in the body of Christ. Hope this helps you.
Again I say, I know Pastor MacArthur is a man of God, a true one indeed but on this issue of Tongues and also his bashing of catholics, I think he has been blinded or is in error. Remember even John the Baptist even erred corcening Christ, so it is no shock if a fellow mere human is also in error. His arguments are one sided and simply not biblical. Especially concerning healing and miracles. Pastor I love you very much but you are WRONG. Amen
@hayfronb He is wrong on these issues......and must be rebuked. His deliberate changing of I Cor 14:2 to make the Bible be inline with his theology is unexcusable.
In matthew 11 :3, i mean erred not in a magnified way but his unbelief of Christ(and that was understandable, he was rotting in Herod's jail) but then I am not making it a big issue, since I know i can never walk in the shoes of a great saint like John, the Baptist but the point being that we are human and even John after believing for such a long time, doubts came to his head as to whether Christ was the One or another was to come.
Satan always accuses people of their sin, The Baptism of the Holy Spirit is the fire of God. Mr. Mcarthur missed the fact that in the upper room there was a rushing wind. Yes you can feel, and God is engaging the spirit not the mind.
geez I always thought I was "special" to God cuz I mastered 2 languages and learning a 3rd thus I have the gift of tongues ROFL... they have nothing to do with each other.
*** (1Thessaloninans 5:21) Prove all things, hold fast to the good.
*** (Acts 17:11) And these were more noble = than those of Thessalonica, = in that they received = the Word = with all readiness of mind = and = searched the Scriptures daily to see if those things were so [or Not].
"For one who speaks in a tongue speaks not to men but to God; for no one understands him, but he utters mysteries in the Spirit." 1 Corinthians 14:2 uttering in the Spirit and pagan orgies don't seem like the same thing... I'm just saying, I think MacArthur is a little off here.
@stepanianov Thank you for that. Good to see an organized religion follower who can still use common sense and not just turn off all brain functions with the "it's God's will/doing" excuse to justify acting like a fool. I'm trying hard to give Catholicism a chance, but stuff like this is driving me far, FAR away. I'm sticking with Agnostic for now.
@cgamyes - LOL ! cgamyes = Matt 12 :35. Your reward will be a place with MacArthur for eternity. As Scripture describes, a dark place where he will be forced to preach his sermons of greed and lies on an eternal loop- unable to rest or stop. You, his disciple will be chained to a pew of sulfur forced to listen for an eternity along side applauding, squealing, demons unable to leave. An ironic eternal union with your master. The Gospel of Jesus Christ frees the Spirit- the gospel of J.M. poisons.
Satan fights so hard agains this because it is the gift of praying in the Spirit, or praying in tongues that truly exposes his wiles and all of his tricks he plays on you. The amount of wisdom you receive from God is astounding and He reveals truths to you that you KNOW you never knew on your own! Some preachers don't even have it, so they preach falsely against it. They are in the outer court.
Notice how he talks about all of the sins and goofed up sins in the people that spoke in "false" satanic tongues! Satan always has a counterfeit of the true thing that God does. But, the gift of speaking in tongues is real and it is powerful, so powerful that when the Holy Spirit-Who knows everything prays through you, your prayers are answered 100%. Satan doesn't want that to happen and some of you are believing the LIAR. I pray in tongues more than ye all! My prayers get answered!
we can absolutely BEAT this subject to death.Both sides have compelling arguments for their various viewpooints...I like SIMPLE.I'll just stick to talking with God in a non-controversial language...''ENGLISH''.God doesn't love me any less because I don't speak in tongues,I have the filling of the Holy Spirit[received at the moment of conversion/salvation] just as much as the most rabid charismatic does.I'm gonna stop worrying about this whole issue........
the truth is that if you are not from heaven and God has not given you the understanding spiritually YOU WILL NOT GET IT...That speaking is tongues looks crazy and sounds crazy but, this is what happen's when God's spirit is too strong over human body. we can't handle it so we get crazy and sound crazy. I Love to loose myself and let the Holyspirit make me go Nuts...sad for ya if you have no idea...get right... and get some!
He is not lying. And yes tongues does not edify unless interpreted.
1Co 14:5 I wish that all of you could speak in other languages, but especially that you could speak what God has revealed. The person who speaks what God has revealed is more important than the person who speaks in other languages. This is true unless he can interpret what he says to help the church grow.
1 cor 14:5 I wish you would all speak in tongues, but even more I wish you would all prophesy. The person who prophesies is greater than the person who speaks in tongues, unless someone gives an interpretation, so that the congregation can be edified. He lied when he said tongues does not edify clearly it does if there is an interpreter.
Great that someone speaks out against 'the doctrine of the initial evidence'. I am a former senior elder of pentecostalism. Click my name to find my detailed videos.
I agree with Dr John MacArthur that Pentecostal leaders should put order in churches regarding the manifestation of the Spirit like Paul did in Corinthians 14.
But he better be careful speaking about this especially if he does not know what he is talking about because he haven't experienced speaking in tongues by himself.
The Spirit cleanses, and everything that the bible says about the Spirit is true.
The bible says very clear to test the Spirits, sure not all manif. are from God.
@Cataclysm31If you don't believe in the Bible, then you have chosen your belief or a faith. Jesus is either the biggest liar or crazy man that ever lived, or He is who he claimed to be. Many religions call Him a prophet or a nice man.
@shelleyannejohnson1 Christians claim Him as the Son of God. How can one be a prophet or a nice man if he is crazy or a liar? Judaism, Buddhism, and Islam all recognize that Christ lived. One rejected Christ and the other two call him a prophet. So, either is who He claims to be (Lord), or He is a liar or lunatic.
@shelleyannejohnson1 You can't believe in just part of the Bible in order to be a follower of Christ. You must believe the whole. "All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work." 2 Timothy 3:16-17.
@shelleyannejohnson1 "Blessed is the man who always fears the LORD, but he who hardens his heart falls into trouble If the Bible is God's word." Proverbs 28:14.
If you believe there is a God, don't you think He is capable of keeping the Bible (His word) true? A wise man would be careful before calling God's word retarded. This is blasphemy. Jesus said, "I am the way and the truth and the light. No one comes to the Father except through me." John 14:6.
@shelleyannejohnson1 I've chosen to believe all of God's word, and if that makes me ignorant (in your eyes), then I'm sorry for you. I'll pray for you that God will give you a change of heart. The only difference between you and me is that I have chosen to accept Christ for who He is and He has adopted me as His own. I will have a place in His kingdom after death.
@shelleyannejohnson1 It is better than the alternative which is hell. Unfortunately, everyone will die and that is when the truth will set in for many who have chosen not to believe in God's word.
If you get a chance, read "Heaven is Real" by Todd Burpo. It will give you a child's perspective on Heaven and how real it is.
@Cataclysm31 Christians claim Him as the Son of God. How can one be a prophet or a nice man if he is crazy or a liar? Judaism, Buddhism, and Islam all recognize that Christ lived. One rejected Christ and the other two call him a prophet. So, either is who He claims to be (Lord), or He is a liar or lunatic.

1. Buddhism does NOT recognise the existence of Jesus Christ at all!, and furthermore Buddhism is hundreds of years OLDER than Christianity (About 500). I know this because I have studied Buddhism.
2. Christianity and Judaism stem from the same time and place in history, and share many common religious beliefs, THAT is why you both acknowledge Jesus Christ's existence.
@Cataclysm31 "christianity and Judaism stem from the same time and place in history," that is incorrect. Judaism preceeds Messianic Judaism( Judeo-christianity) by thousands of years. Christianity began in Isra'el, Judaism began Egypt.
I have a great respect for Dr John MacArthur but I find myself unable to agree with this teaching. Its a bit too one-sided. The video being shown is dealing with another issue which could be titled "excess in the church and why the church should have cameras in worship".
Check out Benny Hinn at 8:57,man,he's swinging his coat like Ken Griffey Jr swingin'for deep centerfield......If he could handle a Louisville slugger like he does his suit coat,he'd make the major leagues.......what an unabashed CHARLATAN!!!!!
1Co 14:39 Therefore, my brethren, desire earnestly to prophesy, and do not forbid to speak in tongues.
Those here who are critical of tongues, do you (1) desire earnestly to prophesy, either directly or through the interpretation of tongues, and do you (2) forbid people to pray in tongues?
I think Mr. MacArthur reads a little too much between the lines. Where in Corinthians does Paul say or accuse the Corinthians of practicing a "satanic counterfeit tongues"?
MacArthur is a cessationist....and a pretty bad one, based on his exigesis.
This is False. This man John MacArthur is Absolutely, innacurate flipping the Scriptures and making the speaking of tongues Evil. I speak in tongues when i'm praying or worshipping C'mon Christians if you know and live on the Word of God, you will Discern the kind of spirit that tries to operate like the ''holy spirit'' and this man is one of them.

@jwsphoenix I agree with you. when they heard them speaking in their own language...notice it says "in their ears" so although the people were speaking in tongues, the spirit made it so they that heard it (Jews), heard it in their own language.
the holy spirit basically translated itself to those Jews....as a sign.

I have spoken in tongues, he has no clue what he is talking about. It is the most peaceful experience I have ever had. I was alone, I was speaking to God, I was in prayer, I was worshipping him, and I felt this overwhelming feeling of my faith coming over my body. I began speaking in tongues. I fell to my knees and felt this utter peace over my soul, my body, I was very coherent, I could here my self talking in another language, I was shocked and amazed, I could not stop, I felt his presence.

@shill700 I first started to attend to a Charismatic group when I came to the Lord, and I have seen that it is only circus. Shows to have people enternained every Sunday.

Fruit is what will show how much the Spirit abides and controlls someone's life. Not the CIRCUS.

"Do not forbid to speak with tongues" (1Cor.14:39). I have experienced the same thing as is written in Acts 2 and you want me to deny it? You deny the very thing that the church is in greatest need for today. Jesus said, "But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you;"(Acts 1:8). You can argue about tongues but no one can argue about the fact that they need POWER in their lives, their families etc. This is the evidence of the Holy Spirit.....Power.

Doesn't this presuppose that God couldn't validate the message without signs, that sounds ridiculous. At best this is an ad hominem attack, and it fails to recognize that men hate God, and God doesn't need signs to prove anything, we are saved by the grace of God, even when there are signs, we need God's wisdom and grace to truly believe. Although Mcarthur is sound in a lot of ways, unfortunately this is just one of his weaknesses.

There is a difference between Paul and John on tongues....Paul opens the book with a salutation to the Church at Corinth...he addresses them as a church......and he says Grace and Peace to them. John (MacArthur) calls them pagans. John does nothing but faultfinding.....John says that the tongues are part of an erotic cult that involves sexual promiscuity. John says they are praying to a false God.Paul says the tongues are real and they are praying to God. Why the tension between Paul and John?

MacArthur says tongues was part of a pagan cult. Paul said it was part of Christianity and laid down guidelines for them to use in the future exercise of it.

@prairiemark They're not praying to God. Paul's saying that if a person speaks in an unknown tongue, which is an earthly language according to Acts 2 and not gibberish, it's doing no good and it's as if God is the only one there to hear. Tongues are an evangelistic tool. Are you charismatics trying to evangelize God. You people have a complete misreading and understanding of the Bible and what tongues is. As I said earlier, Acts 2 explains what tongues is--earthly languages people speak.

@filoIII I guess we have to let the Bible speak for itself......you say "theyre not praying to God." Read 1 Cor 14:2 For anyone who speaks in a tongue does not speak to men but to God.

@prairiemark The tongues in Acts 2 are completely different than in I Cor. In acts they were speaking to men. In I Cor they were speaking to God. In Acts no interpreter was needed because everyone heard the speaker in their own language.

27 If anyone speaks in a tongue, it should be by two or at the most three, and each in turn, and one must interpret; 28 but if there is no interpreter, he must keep silent in the church; and let him speak to himself and to God.

@blessedwithoutmeasur why would God want you to pray in a language that no one understands,not even yourself.doesnt it make since that God wants you to go and preach the gospel in other countries or to people of other countries, so therefore He bestows upon you the gift of tongues (languages) so you can accomplish His goal, or does it make more since that He we would speak in gibberish?

You are so wrong brother, read the book just published, "The death of a legacy of error" a prophetic word of correction to the church where it destroys the doctrine of the initial evidence, and gives clear teaching on the baptism of the Holy Spirit, and the gift of tongues in the body of Christ. Hope this helps you.

Again I say, I know Pastor MacArthur is a man of God, a true one indeed but on this issue of Tongues and also his bashing of catholics, I think he has been blinded or is in error. Remember even John the Baptist even erred corcening Christ, so it is no shock if a fellow mere human is also in error. His arguments are one sided and simply not biblical. Especially concerning healing and miracles. Pastor I love you very much but you are WRONG. Amen

In matthew 11 :3, i mean erred not in a magnified way but his unbelief of Christ(and that was understandable, he was rotting in Herod's jail) but then I am not making it a big issue, since I know i can never walk in the shoes of a great saint like John, the Baptist but the point being that we are human and even John after believing for such a long time, doubts came to his head as to whether Christ was the One or another was to come.

You, his disciple will be chained to a pew of sulfur forced to listen for an eternity along side applauding, squealing, demons unable to leave. An ironic eternal union with your master. The Gospel of Jesus Christ frees the Spirit- the gospel of J.M. poisons.

Satan fights so hard agains this because it is the gift of praying in the Spirit, or praying in tongues that truly exposes his wiles and all of his tricks he plays on you. The amount of wisdom you receive from God is astounding and He reveals truths to you that you KNOW you never knew on your own! Some preachers don't even have it, so they preach falsely against it. They are in the outer court.

Notice how he talks about all of the sins and goofed up sins in the people that spoke in "false" satanic tongues! Satan always has a counterfeit of the true thing that God does. But, the gift of speaking in tongues is real and it is powerful, so powerful that when the Holy Spirit-Who knows everything prays through you, your prayers are answered 100%. Satan doesn't want that to happen and some of you are believing the LIAR. I pray in tongues more than ye all! My prayers get answered!

He is not lying. And yes tongues does not edify unless interpreted.
1Co 14:5 I wish that all of you could speak in other languages, but especially that you could speak what God has revealed. The person who speaks what God has revealed is more important than the person who speaks in other languages. This is true unless he can interpret what he says to help the church grow.
MrJsravin 6 months ago
1 cor 14:5 I wish you would all speak in tongues, but even more I wish you would all prophesy. The person who prophesies is greater than the person who speaks in tongues, unless someone gives an interpretation, so that the congregation can be edified. He lied when he said tongues does not edify clearly it does if there is an interpreter.

I agree with Dr John MacArthur that Pentecostal leaders should put order in churches regarding the manifestation of the Spirit like Paul did in Corinthians 14.
But he better be careful speaking about this especially if he does not know what he is talking about because he haven't experienced speaking in tongues by himself.
The Spirit cleanses, and everything that the bible says about the Spirit is true.
The bible says very clear to test the Spirits, sure not all manif. are from God.

@shelleyannejohnson1 Christians claim Him as the Son of God. How can one be a prophet or a nice man if he is crazy or a liar? Judaism, Buddhism, and Islam all recognize that Christ lived. One rejected Christ and the other two call him a prophet. So, either is who He claims to be (Lord), or He is a liar or lunatic.

@shelleyannejohnson1 You can't believe in just part of the Bible in order to be a follower of Christ. You must believe the whole. "All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work." 2 Timothy 3:16-17.

@shelleyannejohnson1 "Blessed is the man who always fears the LORD, but he who hardens his heart falls into trouble If the Bible is God's word." Proverbs 28:14.
If you believe there is a God, don't you think He is capable of keeping the Bible (His word) true? A wise man would be careful before calling God's word retarded. This is blasphemy. Jesus said, "I am the way and the truth and the light. No one comes to the Father except through me." John 14:6.

@shelleyannejohnson1 I've chosen to believe all of God's word, and if that makes me ignorant (in your eyes), then I'm sorry for you. I'll pray for you that God will give you a change of heart.

1. Buddhism does NOT recognise the existence of Jesus Christ at all!, and furthermore Buddhism is hundreds of years OLDER than Christianity (About 500). I know this because I have studied Buddhism.
2. Christianity and Judaism stem from the same time and place in history, and share many common religious beliefs, THAT is why you both acknowledge Jesus Christ's existence.
