this video was a little vague. i don't understand y u stopped seeking it. and who else speaks in tongues besides christians?

[JoelTheCalvinist]

@bassclef2012 - Pagans, Wiccans, certain Hindus, etc. have practices of speaking in tongues.

I stopped seeking the gift because 1. there are better gifts 2. I need to be happy with what God gives me.

also the time on your video 6:10 holds a lot of significance to me. I know it sounds weird and may just be a coincidence , but I've been praying about what all the 10s mean. So many strange occurrences with that number! I'll be feeling down, telling God how I feel uncomfortable in whatever situation, go to ask my fiance what the time is and boom! 10:10

It's like an "I love you!" It happens so often. We got in debt $210, prayed about it, had faith that God would take care of it....

[JoelTheCalvinist]

@thegreenestdart - A little bit of coincidences, and a lot of mysticism.

[thegreenestdart]

@JoelTheCalvinist explain? I know I might read too much into it sometimes and it sounds silly, but sometimes I really don't think so

[JoelTheCalvinist]

@thegreenestdart - What I mean is, sometimes people try to find God in decoding things, like the DaVinci Code or something, when he teaches us in Scripture.. but people overlook that. This kind of thinking is what drives people to have a very strange view of Revelation.

Not to be mean or anything, but do you happen to also like the Left Behind series?

Speaking in tongues, as what happened on the day of pentacost . Was the evidence of the presense of the Holy spirit . The problem I have is that people are ignorent. and start babbling . the mirical was everone therer that day understaood what was being said in every language f the world at once, No confusion is what people are in today when they try to speajk in tonugs.

Most new age cults do, also Charismatic Catholics and mormons also

the bible also says taht you arent supposed to speak it in church unless their is someone to translate you are very right!

[danielletracyann]

yeh i thought it was pretty cool and i asked someoen at church who did it and she said to start to coo like a baby and like be innocent like a child to god but then i was reading the bible and you arent supposed to push it............you will get the gifts you get!

I'm Pentecostal, yet Calvinist and I speak in tongues. If I had to choose one, I'd remain Pentecostal. They have more of a connection than Calvinists. Look at their passion, they way they speak, and their worship. That being said, people who received the Spirit prophesy or praised God. it also came with a rushing wind; all this was seen in the OT; speaking in tongues is the only "new" thing; this is important to note It's not selfish to worship in tongues in a service. I wish all spoke in them

Fan into flame the gift of the Holy Spirit, "be holy as I am holy",God declares. You must live in obedience or you are decieving yourself and greiving the Holy Spirit. Read parable of the ten virgins, two types of "christian", 5 filled with HS, 5 not.

[travisshel24]

Seek to be filled with the Holy Spirit daily. Paul encouraged Christians to seek all the gifts. Jesus said to be continuously filled with the Holy Spirit (whoever drinks from Me will never thirst). All gifts are from God and are good. Nonbelievers who speak in tongues speak by an evil spirit.

Pentecostals I'm afraid place way to much emphasis on that gift. I've witnessed that myself. It can be a form of spiritual pride, showing off. I've seen it on display before and could tell the person was "showing off". It was funny that as a person who came from a Baptist background I had the gift and there were Pentecostals that didn't. Paul said it was the least of the gifts if I remember correctly.
