 Good evening, good afternoon. Hope you all are doing well. I want to show something to you guys. I want to start something off. I want you all to see this. And I want you to tell me what you think about this. I'm gonna go ahead and play this, and then we'll come back. All right, now I want everyone to raise your hands, and we're gonna pray in tongues. Hallelujah, let's do it. Oh, we love you Jesus. Now, my question is that there are gonna be those that believe in speaking in tongues, and there are gonna be those that do not believe in speaking in tongues. And I don't want to have an issue where we can't stand then, they can't stand us. I don't like you, you don't like, we don't want to do that. I want to be as thoughtful as possible. And we do this once a quarter at least, covering these issues of tongues. And so I've got a question for those that saw that. I would like to know, obviously, there are those that believe this, there are those that don't. And so my question is, and this is really to those that believe that that is legitimately speaking in tongues. Well, actually, I'm sorry, my question is for those who speak in tongues themselves. Matter of fact, how many of you all do speak in tongues? That should be the first question. How many of you all speak in tongues or believe that tongues, whether you do it or not, that tongues are a legitimate, the tongues that we see today are a legitimate expression of the Holy Spirit. The reason why I ask that question is because in looking at the video that we just saw, I've got a few questions. And so if I'm wrong, you can help me out. And I want to cover some things also, just in case some people who think that, I don't know what I'm talking about, could be that that's possible. That is definitely on the table who think that I feel a certain way or I lean a certain way. So I've got some questions. The first question is, were those who were in the video, were those people speaking in tongues or were they praying in tongues? That's just really the question. Were they speaking in tongues or were they praying in tongues? And it's important to ask that question because if there's a difference, because now people say that there is a differentiation between speaking in tongues and praying in tongues. There's a differentiation. Some would say there's a differentiation between the gift of tongues and praying in tongues. The gift of tongues being something that is given to us by the Holy Spirit and praying in tongues is something that differs. So let me just, I want to play a little bit more of it again. I want to play it again. And I want you guys to again tell me what you think. All right, now I want everyone to raise your hands and we're going to pray in tongues. Hallelujah, let's do it. Oh, we love you, Jesus. So, kohor, rasha, dekha. So, now, were these people speaking in tongues or were they praying in tongues? This is your opportunity that you can educate me, educate those who disagree. And so it's vitally important. I want to know which one were they doing? My other question is after you determine if they are either speaking in tongues or praying in tongues or if you feel like it's the exact same thing or there's a difference, my question is also this. Their tongues that we heard of them speaking. Question, does their tongues sound like you, sound like your tongues, or does it sound like the people at your church or others that you know who speak in tongues? And there's, I'm going somewhere with this. Does their tongues be they speaking in tongues, a gift of tongues, praying in tongues, what have you? Does it sound like your tongues, if you do indeed speak in tongues? Does it sound like those around you, those at your churches, it sound like their tongues? There's a reason why I'm asking these questions because I'm going somewhere because I believe that we ought to have a fidelity to the scriptures, a closeness to the scriptures and I could be wrong, I could be mistaken. And so this is where the people who disagree, who think that Cory you're wrong, you've missed the boat on this one, then fine. Oh, by the way, we will have a question answer session at the end of this as well. So question again, first question, were these people in the first video in the video played, were they speaking in tongues or were they praying in tongues? Is there a difference that matter you tell me? I would love, now I haven't got an answer thus far, so I'd love to know. Oh, by the way, the second question is, does their tongues sound like your tongues or does their tongues sound like the tongues at your church or those around you who speak in tongues? Now I have a pretty good idea of what the answer number two is gonna be. I have a pretty good answer, I did what the answer number two is gonna be for those that speak in tongues. Third, if you felt like, by the way, is there anyone that felt as though that those were legitimate tongues? Were those actual tongues? That's the question, were those tongues? Because the next question is, the next question is, were those tongues or not? How do you know? If you believe those were tongues, how do you know those were honest to goodness, genuine tongues? Christopher says they were praying in tongues out loud, which they should not. If you come to my church, you will not hear anyone speaking in tongues. Okay, so my question is then, Chris. So you're saying that they were speaking in tongues? Okay. Well, the next question in Chris or anyone else is, does speaking in tongues sound like praying in tongues? Were they, were those people actually speaking in tongues? That's the question. Were they speaking in tongues? And if you say yes, oh, by the way, before that, does their tongues sound like your tongues or anyone else's tongues that you know of? Have you heard other people speaking in tongues? And so the question is, do those tongues that you heard, they sound like your tongues or other tongues? Then the next question is, how do you know if they were indeed speaking in tongues? Were they speaking in tongues? If you say yes, how do you know? If you say they were not speaking in tongues, how do you know? Same question. Now, this mainly for the people that don't speak in tongues. This is for the people that do speak in tongues, not for those that don't. And so either way, how do you know if they either are legitimately speaking in tongues or if they are not speaking in tongues? Now, for those that believe that what they were doing was biblical, it was tongues and so forth, listening to that, because there are gonna be a lot of folks gonna listen to this broadcast later. So the question is gonna be then, if what you heard was legitimate tongues, did it do anything for you? Did it have anything, did it move you in any way? Did it conjure up anything? Was there some sort of, was there a spiritual movement? Did it benefit you in any way, shape, form or fashion? Now, the people that don't speak in tongues, the same question will be asked to you guys, did it benefit you? Did it move you in any way, shape or fashion? Now, this part is also important, even for the people that are not believers, I mean, not believers, for that are believers but don't speak in tongues. So for all you guys that don't speak in tongues, did those tongues move you? Was there some sort of spiritual experience where you edified, built up in any way, shape, form or fashion? We're going somewhere with all these questions. All of these questions are related to what we're talking about. All of these questions relate to the passages that anyone might want to bring up. So whether you believe in tongues or those sort of tongues, or if they are not, question, did any of those people, no matter what side of the aisle you're on, did any of those tongues do anything for you? Did it build you up or edify you at all? Was it, could you feel the spirit? Because again, it goes back to my other question, is how do you know they were tongues? Or how do you not know they were tongues? How do you know? And this is for the people that believe in tongues. How do you know that those were true, genuine tongues? How do you know that those were not tongues, if you said they weren't? Question, next question, did these people need an interpreter? So Brother Chris or anyone else, especially for those who believe in tongues, did these people need an interpreter? Now, I think I saw your statement before, Chris, so you're gonna say that yes, there should have been an interpreter, okay? So if these people needed an interpreter, whether you say yes or no, the answer is, or the next question is, why or why not? Why did they need an interpreter or why not? Now, the reason why I ask that question is because it shapes or it goes back to what you're thinking. So for example, if you answer the question to say that they absolutely did need an interpreter, that means you believe that they were speaking in tongues. Now, I don't think, I personally don't think they needed an interpreter, because I don't think that there's no such thing as an interpreter of what they were doing, but if you feel like those were legitimate tongues, or you ask, where I'm going here? This is where seeing how this kind of opens you up to one defender point, but to see what you're thinking. So if you believe they were speaking in tongues, you believe they needed an interpreter. If you don't think they needed an interpreter, is it because they were praying in tongues? Now, so, okay, I'll do that. So the question is, I've got to ask again, what is the difference between speaking in tongues for those of you that speak in tongues? What is the difference between speaking in tongues and praying in tongues? And then obviously we're going to go to the scriptures. So, and this is vitally important, guys. I'm not just throwing these questions out there, just kind of just going as fast as possible. I want you guys to see, to understand where we're going, because what we want to do here is always make a person earn their points. Make you earn a statement. If you say something about the Bible, or in this case, a spiritual gift, you need to earn it with what? Not your feelings, not your experience, but with the scriptures. So let me ask those questions again. Let me just one last time for those that might've already joined and didn't see it. Let me play this one last time. As a matter of fact, I'll play the sped-up version. I'll speed it up a little bit so you guys can see this. Now, there's a reason why I'm doing this, guys. May I ask those questions again that coincide with that? One, were these people speaking in tongues or were they praying in tongues? Number two, does it sound like your tongues or the people's tongues around you? Three, did listening to them do anything for you? I'm sorry, three, did were those tongues? Were those tongues or not? If so, how do you know? Three, four, did listening to those tongues, did it do anything for you? Did it move you spiritually? Did it edify? Did it build you up? Did it encourage you? What have you? Four, did they need an interpreter? If so, whatever your answer is, why or why not? If they need an interpreter, it's because you believe those were tongues, which means if you believe those were tongues, that means they sound like tongues that you've heard before. They sound like your tongues and others. How do you know that those were actual tongues? And if those were tongues, even if they were misused, if those were tongues, what did it do for everyone else? Did it do anything for everyone else? Because I am of the opinion that this whole belief in praying in tongues is something that's manufactured and made up. Now, I could be wrong. And so someone would have the opportunity to prove me wrong or to question me. What have you? If you want to send me a question, feel free. Go ahead and put a cue or a question in it so I can see it. If I don't catch it soon enough, make sure you alert the moderators. Now, before someone decides you don't have the Holy Spirit, Corey, you are against this, all of those things. Let me just go down my little checklist to help a lot of these folks out. Corey, you are just a cessationist. Well, let's check that off because no, I'm not. I am not a cessationist. Where I differ with cessationist is I do not believe the scriptures say that these gifts have ended or will end. However, that doesn't mean that those gifts are going to be used by everybody. How do I know? Because biblically, everyone did not utilize these gifts. And if you are going to have a particular pneumaticoan, a gifting by the Spirit, well then that necessarily means it has to look like the Bible. You can't invent or come up with your own way of having spiritual gifts. In other words, your healing can't be different than the healing in the Bible and you call it healing. Your prophecy or prophesying can't be different, have different sets of rules than the Bible lays out, as well as your tongues cannot be different than what the Bible lays out. So if you've got a gift, fine, according to Romans 12, as Paul says, well then basically use them. Use them accordingly. If that's the gifting that you have, then fine, use those giftings. But we have to judge you by, by the scriptures. Someone says, Corey, obviously they are praying in tongues. Okay, fine. Now, I'll come back to that. Second thing, I'm not a cessationist. As a matter of fact, one of the reasons why I say, again, there's no passage that says that those gifts will go be done away with. As a matter of fact, those gifts are linked to understanding and revealing the, revealing the savior to the world, such as tongues, knowledge, those things have to do with people who don't know Christ to know Christ. So, also there are gonna be some prophets later on. We know for a fact, there are gonna be some prophets and they're gonna prophesy. So it's not, it's not done away with. And if God wants to use them, well, then fine, no problem. But again, all we've got to do is just judge in that way. Secondly, someone's gonna say, Corey, you were taught to believe the way I believe. No, it was not. No, remember, I started off in a charismatic Pentecostal church. That's how I, but matter of fact, even before I went to a charismatic church, I was part of an ultra charismatic little prayer group on campus. So, yeah, I was, well, Corey, but you never spoke in tongues. Yes, I did. Yes, I did. I spoke in tongues. And the one of the questions that I asked was, did there, those tongues you heard on the screen, did it sound like your tongues? Because here's why I said question is, when you say that they were either speaking in tongues or praying in tongues because what they sound like is identifiable to you. And so, yeah, that's what my tongues sound like as well. My tongues sounded like their tongues. My tongues sounded like your tongues. So you can't come back and say, Corey, you didn't speak in tongues. Well, Corey, you didn't, you didn't, you weren't really, it wasn't really the spirit. You were manufacturing those tongues. It wasn't really true. Or now, if you say that, well, then wait a second. Well, then why did, still, why did mine sound like yours? And oh, by the way, how do you know when tongues are legitimate? Here's a question. Are, is there ever a point in time where tongues are manufactured? Is there ever a point in time? Or do we think that every time someone sounds like or supposedly speaking in tongues, do we believe those are actual legitimate tongues? Are we to say that there's no one that ever has ever will or ever can fake tongues? Is that, is that, is it possible? So here's my question to you tongues speaking people. And I understand the majority of folks that are gonna be in the chat and so forth and maybe for the, for fear of maybe being put on, you know, on blast, I'm not gonna blast you. But if, how do you know what real tongues are and what fake tongues are? Is there, is there a way? When was the last time that you guys have gone up to someone who was speaking in tongues and you told them that wasn't tongues? No, you missed the point, Chris. Hold on, Chris, wait a second. And I love Chris dearly. Chris, you are moving around what I'm talking about. I didn't say don't speak in tongues because they're doing it wrong. That's not what I'm saying. Now my question is, Chris, are they speaking in tongues? Were those legitimate tongues? How many times have you gone up to someone and said those aren't real tongues? Is it possible, Chris, or anyone else? Is it possible for you to know what legitimate tongues are? That's my question. Chris, and anyone else who believes in tongues, how do you know if the tongues that you hear aren't legitimate tongues? How do you determine? Do you determine? Do you just let them do what they want, ask them, who am I to judge? How do you know? Because the question then is, if there's a way to know, how can a person know? Pastor T, if it's in regards to this, if you'd like to, you can connect later on this at the end of the broadcast. I may just go ahead, because I think I'll finish this fairly quickly, I think so. I may just go ahead and put the link out. And so if anyone, I've been trying to get Christopher on here to have this discussion. So if anyone, matter of fact, yes, if anyone wants to have this discussion about tongues, let me know. I will put the link out so you can come on and we can have this conversation as well. If there's four or five, you have no problem because I want to see if you guys can fix this problem, fix the dilemma. It should not be. It should not be this difficult. It should always be that any time the move of the spirit happens, there's no debate. So that's the uphill climb that many folks have to fight in the Bible. When the move of the spirit happens, when the move of the spirit happens in the Bible, can you all name one time where the move of the spirit happens and people didn't know it? I mean, if speaking in tongues is the pneumatic cone of the Holy Spirit, is there a time where someone poking the language, poking tongues, healed, gave a prophecy, what have you, is there any time that a legitimate move of the spirit happened and people didn't know? I can't think of one. I can, matter of fact, I've always asked even, I've asked all these, I've asked people with PhDs, I've asked folks with YouTube channels, I've asked pastors, I've asked different people, is there a time, and they can't come up with one either. Why, because there's a no time in the Bible where the Lord moved and people, believers, and non-believers did not know it. So if a person is speaking in tongues, should we not know it? And if a person is faking, should we also not know it? Is there a way I submit yes and yes? Secondly, if someone says that my tongues weren't real tongues, I'll again, I'll say, sound like yours, sounds just like everyone else. As a matter of fact, when I spoke in tongues, folks hands up and people were praising God. I know they weren't real tongues. But Corey, what you're doing, you're denying the power of God. How so? Can, here's the other question to Chris and anyone else. I'm using Chris because Chris has big broad shoulders, he can handle it, and other people. Can a person stop tongues from coming upon them? It's a question, because the question I've got is, whose responsibility is it to make me speak in tongues or to pray in tongues? Is it up to me to speak in, or if you differentiate between praying in tongues and speaking in tongues, is it up to me to speak in tongues or to pray in tongues? That's my question. Oh, by the way, please hand me a passage that goes with that. Is it up to me to pray in tongues? Who causes Corey if you think Corey? I know I faked it. I said I faked it. And my faking it, my faking it sounds just like yours. Now, at the time I wasn't trying to fake it. I felt like, because you know what? You get caught up and it's not what you feel. I mean, it's not the scriptures that cause you to believe it's real. It's the feeling that you have. Folks who are speaking in tongues aren't regurgitating the scriptures. They're not. So my speaking in tongues sounds just like yours and everyone else's. If I would have spoken in tongues in front of you, you would have raised your hands and praised God and you know what you would have done. Can I tell you what you would have done if you'd have heard me speaking in tongues? You probably would have started speaking in tongues too. And then we both said there's just saying something. And none of us are being edified. Let's just come on, tell the truth, shame the devil. Let's keep it real. We piggyback off of what, again, I've been there. I've been there longer than most of you folks have. I know what it's like, you're being in an environment and you just overcome. It's just like you walk into a room. What happens guys if you walk into a room and people are laughing? What happens when you, Chris, Christina, and Thea, Hiram, Mike, Monkey Moves, Krista, what happens is for everybody. When you walk into a room and people are laughing, what do you do? You either laugh or smile. What you don't do is you don't get a scowl in your face. What do you say? This sounds like Sour Grape's blood house. So Alan, this is for you because listen, you have a biblical mandate to help me out. You cannot, ladies and gentlemen, if you disagree, you cannot name call. You can't disagree without trying to help me. If you are, I will tell you now. If you, I'm not saying just you, Alan, but it's everybody. If you disagree and you won't tell me why, I will submit to you before the entire world that you are an immature Christian and unqualified and unfit to give an opinion if you do not want to help me out. If you think I'm wrong or off, it's incumbent upon you to tell me why, help rub out. Now, we've got some fixing to do. We've got some understanding to do. Gotta understand this stuff. Corey, you're just denying the power. How am I denying the power? Again, if I'm denying the power, if I'm not submitting to the power or whatever, is it up to me to speak in tongues? Alan or Chris or anyone else, is it up to me? So let's go with that question. Is it up to me to speak in tongues? Christina, I mean Katrina. Is it up to me to speak in tongues? Is it my responsibility to speak in tongues or pray in tongues? If you differentiate from the two, if you think they're the same, either one, is it my responsibility to either speak in tongues or pray in tongues? Now we're going somewhere. So I want to move quickly. So as quickly as you can type, let me know. Henry says, yes. Are you saying yes, it's up to me to speak in tongues and pray in tongues? Okay, we're going to look at that in a second, because I'm going to tell you now, it is not up to me. It is not my responsibility for me to either speak in tongues or pray in tongues. Now, matter of fact, thank you, Chris. Chris is there. No, no, I'm not saying, listen, I'm not trying to say that you're being stark. No, no, listen, Alan, listen, listen, brother. We're grown people here. You give, I give, you take, I take. So I'm not saying that you're being snarky, no. But I need you to back, again, it's not for you because others are going to do the same thing. Trust me, it's not you. Other people are going to come back and say some things and we'll not, Cory, you're just dumb, you're just evil. You are of the devil, you're this, you're that. You want to help me out? You mean to tell me I've got all these things going on and you won't help me out? What kind, not you, Alan, not you, brother. But I would say to those folks, what kind of Christian are you? To leave me languishing, leave me ignorant of the spirit. Someone says, Cory, of course, it's up to the person to do so. Proverbs 16, 32, huh. Proverbs 16, 32, let's go to Proverbs. Let me just type it in real quick and see what that says. Proverbs 16, 32, I'm pretty sure it's not saying that, but let's go to it. Proverbs 16, 32. He who was slow to anger is better than the mighty and he who rules his spirit, then he who can't. So that has to, so if I rule my spirit, I can make my spirit speak in tongues? No, sorry, sir, swing and miss. Matter of fact, let's just fix this right now. Let's fix and determine right now. If you guys have been watching the channel, you have seen, I actually covered this before. What I'm trying to get in the habit of doing is cover things and then reiterate them later, give you guys an opportunity time to kind of think about it. Let me mold this over. Let me go out and try to prove my point. So if you say that it's up to me to speak in tongues, thank you, Jesus and German Shepherds, Tony V. That is a long, Jesus and German Shepherds, Tony V. God gives a gift. How do we know so? Well, let's go to 1 Corinthians 12. And let's start in verse four. There are varieties of gifts, but the same spirit and there are varieties of ministries in the same Lord. I'm gonna speak fast, we gotta move. There are varieties of effects, but the same God who works all, who does the working? God, the word Ergon, he's the one that's doing the working, all things in all persons. So who's working it? God is, verse seven. But to each one is, here it is, is given, this word right here, guys, this is the present middle indicative. Middle means it's, God is the one that gave it for his benefit. Very important, he's given because it's a middle voice for his benefit. Each one, each one, each of these manifestations are given, why? Well, first of all, they're given to me, to you. You don't go get it yourself, you don't do it. So he says, each one is given for the manifestation of the spirit of the common good. So they're given, first of all, for everyone else, not for you, but notice what he says, for to one is given, notice it's given, you didn't get it, it's given wisdom. Another one's given knowledge, another one's given by the same faith, by the same spirit to another faith, by the same spirit to another gift of healing, another effect of miracles, prophecies, the same spirits, various kinds of tongues, but to one, look what he says now, but to one and the same spirit works, all things, all these things, here it is, here it is, distributing to each one individually, just as he wills. By the way, here's this word, belaytai, or from the word, bulamai, this is as he has planned, as he has appointed. You can't speak in tongues on your own. Let me say it again, ladies and gentlemen, if you go around thinking that a person's supposed to exercise a gift on their own, well then you got a big problem with Paul just said. This is given to you, you don't go in the store and get on your own, you don't know, you can't even exercise it. What happens is the manifestation of the spirit on you. That's why these things are called the pneumaticone. Listen guys, let me help you out. They're not actually called spiritual gifts. You can call them spiritual gifts, but technically they're called a pneumaticone, the things of the spirit or of the spirit or the spiritual things or the spiritual, however you wanna put it. It's kind of a rough English way to put it, but if you wanna say spiritual gifts, that's fine, but as long as you know these are properties, these are belonging to the spirit and he moves on you as he wills, okay? So you can't come back and say that, Cory you don't speak in tongues because you're this good, no, I don't speak in tongues because he had moved on me to speak in tongues. Here's the question, here's the question ladies and gentlemen, when the disciples or when the apostles spoke in tongues on the day of Pentecost, on the day of Pentecost, did the disciples want to speak in tongues? legitimate question. So those that have disagreed with me thus far, that's fine, you're okay because I want you to teach me, I want you to help me out. Those apostles on the day of Pentecost, did they, did they, would you say who said they can speak in tongues on their own? Someone else did, not necessarily you, someone else did. By the way, it's one of the ways I identify Katrina because she always puts the little red question mark in his mouth, I always say that, but on the day of Pentecost, these apostles are speaking in these languages. Which of them wanted to speak in tongues? Which of them were, Lord, I can't wait to speak in tongues. Man, I'm looking forward, I'm gonna speak the heck out of these tongues, I can't wait to speak. Which of the apostles did that? Thank you, Dutch, thank you, Dutch, with your, with his power sideburns, with his holy ghost anointed sideburns. Thank you. None of them had ever spoken, and they didn't know anything about it. It was a phenomenon they had never known of, never experienced. So when it happened, who moved upon them? The Holy Spirit did. They didn't desire the gift, they didn't go after the gift. All they did was, they desired the Spirit. The Spirit came upon them and moved, as the Bible says in Acts two, as he, not them, as he, the Holy Spirit gave them utterances. All they were told was the Spirit, Jesus says, and you shall receive power when the Spirit comes upon you, you shall be my witnesses. Now, were these a little bit, were these disciples, here's a question, guys, because, of course, you gotta be willed, you gotta have faith, you gotta, okay, here's my question. Were these apostles, were they gung-ho about preaching the gospel? It's a good, interesting question. I'm gonna ask you this question. Were these apostles, were they gung-ho about preaching and spreading the gospel? I'll take a sip of my drink while you answer this question. Maybe you can even figure out the fact that I asked the question, what the answer is. But were they gung-ho? Well, I can't wait to whatever this power is, because remember, in Acts one, eight, by the way, by the way, ladies and gentlemen, if you're taking the classes, if you're taking the seminary classes, you all were doing observations over Acts one eight, supposed to give 25 observations. Boy, I can't wait to give you the second part of the assignment. But they had no idea what that meant. Jesus said, you shall receive power and be my witnesses. Well, what does that mean, Jesus? Matter of fact, that wasn't even what they were thinking about. What were the disciples thinking about? Does anybody remember what the disciples of the apostles were thinking about when they met Jesus in Acts one? What was their focus? It was not, it was not spreading the gospel. That was not their focus. Does anybody remember what their focus was? And Jesus just pretty much ignored what they asked. Did anybody remember that? It kind of relates to the Acts one, eight assignment. By the way, go to Patreon, sign up for the little, you don't have to sign up, but take the little classes. They're free, our Patreon is free. But thank you, Arsenal, they asked, hey, is it at this time you're gonna restore the kingdom? We're ready, we're ready to get up out of here. They were not thinking about anybody else coming to Christ, that was not their focus. Not that they were against people coming to Christ. I'm not saying that either, but that wasn't their focus. And then the Holy Spirit came upon them and man, they are moving. But Jesus said, you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and all in Judea, both Jerusalem and Judea. So not just Jerusalem, but the region of Judea and Samaria and to the remotest or the ends of the earth or the land, question. Even with the Holy Spirit, were they gung-ho about that? No, they were not. No, they were not. Why do I say that? Because when Jesus told them that and when the apostles received the Holy Spirit, which one of the apostles went to the rest of the world to spread the gospel? Does anybody know? Can anybody name which of the apostles left Judea and probably even Samaria to go to other places to preach the gospel? Does anybody, can anybody name that? Does anyone know which apostle went out and spread the gospel? Like Jesus said they were gonna do? No, Joshua, nope. However, you're onto something with that name. Nope, nope. Thank you, Jeff, not until Paul. Remember, they stayed there. These brave souls full of the fire and Holy Spirit did not move out of Jerusalem. They didn't go, nope, until Paul came and started persecuting the church. So from Acts 1-8, he says, go and preach the gospel. Then it took them from Acts 8-1 for Paul to persecute them for them to go. You know, I think it's a good idea we go and just share the gospel in other places. Oh really, I think it's a good idea. Why did you do it before Paul persecuted? So remember, the spirit has to come upon you and move you. My whole point and saying that is don't act like the apostles were just, we were waiting for the tongues to come. They had never spoken in tongues. They weren't looking for it. They didn't know. So a person nowadays who receives the Holy Spirit, whatever the Lord does in them is whatever the Lord does in them. So if I do or do not speak in tongues, that's on him, not on me. So stop telling people, please, my dearly beloved, not knowing the scripture's kind of people, stop telling people they have to speak in tongues. You can do it if you want to. Name the person in the Bible who wanted to speak in tongues. Name that person. Let me put my watch on so I can add this dramatic pause so I can look at it while I'm saying, I'll wait. I'm waiting. Name the person who in the Bible just, I can't wait to speak in tongues. There is none. There is none. I really, really, really want to speak in tongues. Someone says, Corey, why are you fighting the Holy Ghost? How am I fighting the Holy Ghost? Feel my lovely, wonderful brother. How can I fight the Holy Ghost? Again, Phil, we just read 1 Corinthians 12. What do you want me to do, Phil? Phil, type fast, because I want to know, what do you want me to do? Do you want me to speak in tongues? Now I can speak in tongues and it will sound like your tongues, Phil. You won't know even the difference, but I can be making it like I did before. The spirit is just, let's go to Acts 2. Let's go to Acts 2, so we can, so let's just deal with this, because Phil, over here, we have to deal with scriptures. We must absolutely deal with scriptures. So the very first time the tongues came upon us, now we just read 1 Corinthians 12, that is the spirit that causes you so. 1 Corinthians 12 tells us that he distributes these gifts as he wills. Secondly, let's go to the very first time that we see tongues, people speaking in tongues. Chapter two, verse two. And suddenly, Phil and everyone else, there came from heaven a noise, a sound, like a violent Russian wind and it filled the whole house where they were sitting. And there appeared to them tongues as a fire distributing themselves. And now, notice, they're not doing this. These tongues of fire are being distributed upon them. And it says, and they rested on each one of them. Here it is. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues or glow-sized languages as what, as the spirit was giving them utterance. So, Phil or anyone else? Phil or anyone else? Now, Phil brings up a question. Matter of fact, I wanna highlight this before we get to it, though. But question, who is giving them the utterance? Are they giving themselves the utterance? Is it there to know it's the Holy Spirit? Now, Phil says, you got two types, known and unknown. Stop, listen, this is where the King James Version kind of helps and kind of hurts because it's not unknown tongues. The word unknown in 1 Corinthians 14 is not there. The word unknown is added and maybe yours might have it italicized to give you understanding of maybe what they think Paul was speaking of. But the word unknown, and by the way, there's a Greek word for unknown, but it's not there in 1 Corinthians 14. So, what did he mean by known and unknown? Well, the reason why that your King James Version puts unknown is because the writers, the writers of the King James Version understood, first of all, no one was doing it at that time. So, my question, guys, I'm asking you, should we be praying in tongues? Corey, your cessationist, no, I'm not. Corey, you were taught to believe that? No, I was not. Again, I started off believing in a charismatic church. You never spoke in tongues. Yes, I did. My tongue sounded just like yours. You deny in the power. How can I do that? I can't tell you how often I went out and spread the gospel. So, let me ask you a question, Phil or anyone else. What caused me to spread the gospel? Was that denying? Was that denying the Holy Spirit? What caused me to spread the gospel? I would think that's the spirit. So, I'm denying the spirit, but I'm being used by the spirit. Okay. See, this is what I'm talking about. When you say reborn, I'm assuming you're speaking to me. Which is fine, again, I want to hear from you guys. I said it or maybe you didn't hear it. If, and forgive me if this is not you, but if you say sad for you, what does that mean, sad for me? How does that help me? We want to use the scriptures as best we can. Let's use the Bible. Since you got it, you ever remember in the 70s, they would say smoke, if you got it, you got the Bible, use it, you got it. Listen, only if you have the Bible, use it. That's, those are the only folks I want to use the Bible today. If you got it, if you don't have the Bible, don't worry about it. If you're not familiar with using the Bible, don't worry about it. But if you got it, if you got it, then use it. Amen. I'm going to use it. So now my question again, going back, oh, by the way, by the way, by the way, by the way, you haven't experienced the power of the Holy Spirit, which is part and parcel of the same design of the power of the Holy Spirit. You can't, you can't, you can't tell the spirit what he won't do. You can't tell him what he will do. So my question is, my question is, okay, hold on. This is a good question, Katrina, but Katrina is, I can feel the emotion coming in your typing, Katrina. She says, no, no, no, stop saying that. My tongue sound just like yours. So are you so pompous that just because you faked it, so does everyone? I didn't, you're not following. What's happening is you're getting bothered. What's happening is you're getting bothered, you're getting upset. Do you think my, do you think your tongue sound different than my tongues did? See, when I play, let's play it again. Let's play this clip again. All right, now I want everyone to raise your hands and we're gonna pray in tongues. Hallelujah, let's do it. Oh, we love you Jesus. So, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, or similar. I'm the reason why I say this is because when you hear them, Katrina and anyone else, when you hear them speaking in tongues, you identify that as tongues. We know what it sounds like. We know what to call that that we just saw. We identify that as tongues and Katrina. Mine sounded just like that, just like yours. Now, I've got some new tongues that unfortunately, people aren't interested in hearing. I've got some, it's not a matter of sound. No, my point is, how do you know it's tongues? I'm telling you how mine sounded. That's all I'm going off of. What I'm indicating you, because you're not following what I'm saying. When you hear that stuff, you think tongues. And what you don't think, Katrina, with all due respect, is you don't say, hey, I don't think those are tongues. They sound like tongues. Praise God. Matter of fact, if you were in a room, tell the truth, sweetheart, chain the devil. If you were in a room with all those people and they were speaking in tongues, you're gonna lift your hands, go to pray. You might start speaking in tongues yourself. Yes, I am monkey moose. I am ruffling feathers, because I want these people to be honest with the text. Now, my question is, because I haven't even gotten to my point yet. This is just an introduction. This all of this is a big old, one big fat introduction. Hadn't gotten to my point just yet. Oh, what's your point, Corey? What is the difference? Okay, listen, reborn, ask a question. This is why you guys need to be on time, because I covered this, I asked a question earlier. Do you think they were speaking in tongues, reborn? And anyone else that thinks they were speaking in tongues? I didn't say they were or weren't. I'm asking you, do you think they were? Because if they were, my question then is, how do you know? How do you know those folks were speaking in tongues? And if they're not speaking tongues, how do you know? How do you know that, either? Were they speaking in tongues or were they praying in tongues? What I'm doing is I'm walking you guys into a corner. I'm walking you in the corner and what it is, you don't like it. So were these people speaking in tongues, but they were just doing it in the wrong fashion? Or it was not tongues or it was tongues, it's okay. It's okay because they were praying in tongues. What's the point is that we wanna be biblical. See, here's the point that we've gotta get past reborn and everybody else that has a problem. I am so bothered. I'm not bothered by the point where I'm angry, but I'm bothered that it motivates me. When I hear people act as though this is one, that someone said a secondary issue, it's so secondary that it just takes up so much of our time. How can it be, it's literally in the Bible. It's not that much of a secondary issue when people get up. If I talk about it and it makes people upset, it's not too much of a secondary issue, is it? Phil, I answer a question. Yes, I spoke in tongues. I know you guys, maybe you guys are just now coming in. I spoke in tongues before it passed. I felt like tongues, sounded like tongues, and when I spoke in tongues, other folks spoke in tongues. Phil, if you'd have been around me, I'm not sure how old you are, Phil, but if you'd have been around me 30-something years ago when I spoke in tongues, you just started speaking in tongues too. You probably would have cried. You're like, wow, it's wonderful tongues. Cory, you have that gift. You are awesome when it comes to tongues. You got this tongues thing down. No, no, no, don't let the tongue, don't let it be exhausting, Christopher, because for the rest of your life, if you are committed to the scriptures, this is what you're gonna be doing. You don't get to pick which topic to go over today or tomorrow or next week. It's the entire, the entire Bible is at play. You guys watch sports, the entire playbook is in use. Stop that. You guys stop that. I'm gonna treat you like the person that I expect more from. I expect you to be willing to go over every issue. Matter of fact, what does Peter say? 1 Peter 3.15, sanctify Christ in the heart and always be ready to give a defense of the hope that's in you. Is that the hope that's in you? Sure it is. So stop it. You're gonna talk about it, or listen, go to one of the pop culture channels where they talk about pop culture stuff, what Jay-Z or Kanye or Beyonce or Oprah said, what Shay-Shay said, go to those channels. But we're going on with the text here because enough folks have asked about it. Again, we go over tongues probably once a quarter. Should a person pray in tongues? Because that's what we're talking about. Should a person pray in tongues? We're gonna sit with the text. Because my question is to all of you folks that believe in speaking in tongues or praying in tongues, is there, let me ask you guys a question. Well, Chris, I'm gonna focus on you today. So you said you give me scriptures because you don't deal with mine. You don't deal with mine. You walk around mine, but that's fine. We'll work together today. Christopher, is there a difference between speaking in tongues and praying in tongues? Everyone else. Is there a difference between speaking in tongues and praying in tongues? Let's start there. Especially for those who believe that there's a difference. Now most folks in the chat don't believe there's a difference. But there's a lot of folks that do believe there's a difference. So my question is, is there a difference between, especially you, Chris, between speaking in tongues and praying in tongues? Mr. I don't look at your scriptures and you better give me a scripture. I'm gonna come and find you. I mess with Christopher. He says, do not forbid speaking in tongues. I'm not forbidding anyone speaking in tongues. Matter of fact, listen, I say this. If you speak in tongues, it's tongues away. Matter of fact, I said that in Romans 12, if you got to get the healing, get the healing. If you got to get the tongues, get the tongue in. Do all that. Do everything that you're supposed to do. I'm not telling you not to. Again, I didn't say don't speak in tongues. By the way, has anyone ever heard me say don't speak in tongues? You've never heard me say don't speak in tongues. Never, ever, ever, ever, ever has anyone? Well, I'd say never, ever, ever. But you guys haven't heard me say don't speak in tongues. Speak in tongues. Now, if you speak in tongues, do I have the biblical right and the mandate to look at your tongues and to judge them by the scriptures? Do I at least have that right? Or do I have to just sit down and shut up and take what you give us? Just asking. How much contending can you do to those, to folks who don't want to believe until you don't have, what did Paul say? Christopher, what did Paul say? Preach the word. Be ready in season out of season. Reprove, rebuke, exhort. What does he say next? With all long suffering, constantly continuing. So yeah, that's how long Christopher, until you die or Christ comes back, whichever one comes first. So, how many times did Christ, did the spirit have to continue with you to get you to put your faith in Him? I'm just asking. I bet it wasn't more than once. I bet it was several times. So, my question is, and we're gonna go to the scriptures. And again, I'm gonna say this again. They're still irrefutable. They have not. All we ever get when we give the scriptures is someone says, well, I disagree or if you're gonna be like Dr. Brown, our experience is now that there's this manifestation of the spirit now. I love all the Bible, Chris. I mean, Phil. Yeah, I love tongues. I love this topic. I love salvation. I love hermeneutics. I love talking about that. I love talking about the end times. I love talking about all the gifts of the spirit. I love talking about prophecy. I love talking about walking in freedom while you cannot have a demon if you're a Christian. I love what part of the Bible do I not like talking about? Some of you guys just bother. This is what's happening. Yeah, this chat is shook right now. You're bothered. I'm gonna make you guys work for this stuff. You men, not the ladies. Not the ladies. I'm talking to the men, to the men that disagree. You're not going to, let me just bowl down here. You're not gonna punk out. You're not gonna be a sister. You're gonna be a man. You're gonna go to these scriptures. Did I bother you? I think, I hope I did. I hope I did. I want you to go to these scriptures. I want you to go to these scriptures. Now, I asked you a question, Mr. and Mrs. is there a difference? And I really want to hear from the people that believe in tongues. Is there a difference? A biblical difference? I'm waiting for your answer, Christopher. My brother's name is Chris. So I don't know whether to call you Chris or Christopher. I'll send in just a little bit reborn. Give me a second. I'll send in if you want to come on. Now, when you come on, make sure, I've got one thing, no profanity. Don't be disrespectful and make sure you show your face. Now, is there a difference between speaking in tongues and praying in tongues? That's my question. Is there a difference between speaking in tongues and praying in tongues? How can we never mention the whole context of the whole book of Corinthians? I pushed the wrong button. Where'd it go? I'm going to, hey, OG, but I didn't mean to hit you. I meant to, where is it at? I just saw, there it is. Michelle, good question. Because if you go back and look at me covering tongues in the past, I'd say the reason why Paul writes this letter. Paul writes this letter, it's a good question. Matter of fact, it's a wonderful question. Paul writes this letter because there is disunity in the body. And so he writes this letter, the whole theme of the first letter of Corinthians is for unity. He starts off by saying, I don't want there to be any divisions among you. He talks about it as relates to those people, even they choosing, kind of choosing up sides, choosing up, I'm of Paul, I'm of Paul's, I'm of this, I'm of that. But then he even goes on to family. So as we track down to chapter 12, and I'm glad Michelle brought this up, as we're tracking down in chapter 12, what does Paul say? Again, keeping with the same thing, Paul says, chapter 12, verse one. And this is why we're here on this issue. Paul says, now concerning spiritual gifts. And the word is used here, I said the word is not spiritual gifts. If we want to be biblical or biblical says, or smart Christians, we're gonna use the exact word. The word is pneumatico, the things of the spirit, the spiritual things or the spiritual. You can call it spiritual gifts, but it's the move of the spirit. Now concerning how the spirit moves in us, the things of the spirit, what does he say? I do not want you to be unaware or ignorant. So again, he's speaking of the same thing that he's been speaking of in the past. And he talks about, is where we get this whole understanding of the body. He wants us to realize that we are to be unified together. Right? Now, going back to this, oh, by the way, the whole point of the gifts are for the benefit of the body. That's how he starts off this whole dialogue about using the analogy of the body. He starts off in chapter 12 and in verse seven, says that the point of these gifts are for the benefit of the body. Oh, by the way, what are all spiritual gifts for? Ladies and gentlemen, all spiritual gifts, all spiritual gifts are as Peter says. Peter says, as each one has received a special gift, employ it how in serving one another as good stewards. By the way, as we go through chapter 14, one go through all of this, we don't have time. But as we go to chapter 14, seven, eight, nine times, does he speak about building up others? There's one case where he seems to say that you're building up yourself. And we say, see, that's what Paul means, huh? But there's a contrast. There's a word of contrast there. So, question it. So all right, there we go. There we, thank you. Thank you, Christopher. He says, no, in my opinion, there's not a difference between speaking to God and praying are the same thing. Now, some say that the public display of tongues is speaking in tongues. I don't, okay, good. Amen. Now, you're putting yourself in a hold in a box. I'll tell you why in a second. Is there anyone else that thinks that speaking in tongues and praying in tongues is different? A living sacrifice says this. And I appreciate you for giving your answer, brother. He says, praying in tongues increases your prayer life tremendously. Like, who don't want this wonderful gift? It's a gift, okay? We all run out of things to say in our own language, praying in tongues, pray, exceeds that for us. Can you give me a scripture? I wanna show you guys. All we've got to go off of, and I believe this would include you, brother, a living sacrifice, and the rest of you guys. All we have is the scriptures. All we have is the scriptures. There are two words to describe what we're talking about. Now, I've covered this enough. And so, especially all of you guys that believe, that believe, Max Locato didn't start speaking in tongues until he was 64. Cory, you still got time, bro. Yes, he's like, maybe he's like, he's on that Biden program, the older he gets. Yeah, I'm not gonna listen to him. Because guess what, between ages zero to 64, and before that, the scriptures hadn't changed, he just changed. So, here's the question. Now, again, I used to speak in tongues. So, for all of you guys that say, you always talking about this, well, fine. Help me out then. What if I said there are two words to describe what we're talking about? There's two words. There are two Greek words that describes what we're talking about, either speaking in tongues or praying in tongues. There are two words. And I like that. I like that. That's well said. That is well said. If you can speak in tongues on demand, wouldn't that be controlling the Holy Spirit? Yeah. But there are two words that I say, two Greek words that describe this phenomenon that we're talking about. Two words. I've covered this ad nauseam. Now, have I covered, is this the number one topic that I cover? No. It's probably the number three topic, maybe the number four topic. I haven't covered it in a minute, but here's another, here's it in field. Brother, love you to death. I want you to keep coming back to this channel and just labor with us in the scriptures. You made a statement. Corinthians is a gift of tongues, which everyone does not have. Everyone do get, or does get it as evidence, even just once, give a passage. Give a scripture that tells you that everyone gets to get. Matter of fact, there's more passages in the Bible where people come to faith and they don't speak in tongues. We've got more passages. So if you're going to say something, earn it. Is that a good idea? If you're going to say something about what the Bible teaches, you should give the Bible passage. Now, speaking about that, what are the two Greek words that I said every time we're talking about tongues, every time? These two words are there. The reason why I brought that up is because if a person is going to say that praying in tongues is different than speaking in tongues, then what passage is praying in tongues? Because whether it's whether it's Mark 16, whether it's Acts 2, whether it's all first, whether it's 1 Corinthians 12, the few passages in 1 Corinthians 12, whether it's the many passages in 1 Corinthians 14, the same two words are used. The same two words are used. The first word is Laleo, which is to speak, Laleo, which is to speak. The second word is Glossis, which is languages or tongues. The reason why that's important, ladies and gentlemen, if you're going to say praying in tongues is different than speaking in tongues, then the question is, why do they use the exact same two words? When a person wants to say, well, this is praying in tongues, but they're using the same two words, Laleo, Glossis, and when they say speaking in tongues, same two words, Laleo, Glossis, now obviously they're going to be different endings, but if we're talking about, what's going on there with the dog out there, if we're going to say that, then we've got speaking in tongues, the same two words used there, if we're going to say praying in tongues, the same two words there. So you can't differentiate where the Bible doesn't. The Bible calls all of that the same thing, Laleo and then Glossis, the same two things, the same two words. So there is no difference. I've asked this question over and over and over again, show me in scriptures whether there's such thing as praying in tongues. Does anyone see anywhere in the Bible where someone's praying in tongues? Yeah, of course, first Corinthians 14, before I go there, before I go, let's go to first Corinthians 14, the very beginning, and I've asked this question over and over and over again, and I have never gotten someone, even in, I recall, I remember just how it was, but I remember in our conversation with Dr. Brown, he says, well, I disagree with your interpretation, so do scholars. I said, no, they don't. You can't find a scholar that disagrees with my interpretation because it's not written that way in English. It is written that way in English. And so, and I asked him, well, what does this mean since he knows a little bit of Greek? Maybe it's just a little bit of Greek. I asked him, what does this mean? Pursue love, not pursued tongues or pursued gift, pursue love, but or yet desire earnestly the spiritual gifts. Now, is it desiring spiritual gifts? No, it's desiring the, what's that word, numitika or numitikon, the things of the spirit, but especially that you may prophesy, what does that mean, but especially that you may prophesy? So all of you guys that disagree with me, we're gonna stay here for a second. What does that mean, but especially that you may prophesy, and put it back on the screen, what does that mean, but especially that you may prophesy? I won't even go over the Greek at this point. No, the dog didn't need milk, somebody was playing with the dog outside. So what does that mean? I don't have a problem as a soldier. Question, what does that mean? Pursue love, yet desire earnestly spiritual gifts, and in the English it says, or some English versions, but especially that you may prophesy. What does that mean, but especially that you may prophesy? Now question, let's center on this word for a second. Oops, I didn't mean to do that, what I just do. Where am I, I'll push the wrong button. But this word right here that you may prophesy, let me highlight that. What does that word mean? There's two words for that, there's two meanings, right? There's two meanings, one, foretelling, two, forthtelling. Now there's gonna be a group of those that believe that it's forthtelling, giving a revelation. And then there are gonna be those that believe it's foretelling. If you believe it's forthtelling, you believe like me, and you don't believe in tongues like other folks do. If you believe in foretelling, someone said no cord, that doesn't mean to give a revelation. So you mean tell me that every time someone's speaking in tongues, if this prophecy is foretelling, and I'll just make it easy to understand, that every time someone speaks in tongue, they're telling the future, so he says, pursue love, yet desire earnestly, spiritual gifts, but especially that you may tell the future, that is an ignorant way of looking at that passage. But especially that you may tell, so every time someone's speaking in tongues, every time somebody's speaking in tongues, true tongues, it's telling the future, it's telling the future, that makes sense? So when you're telling, now think about this, I want you all to hear this. If you think it's foretelling given a prophecy, like we folks tend to think, if it's that, then here's the problem. You got a big problem on your hand now, because now you're giving prophecies, and how do we know that they're true prophecies? Is it that, could you be speaking in tongues and giving false prophecies? You don't even know yourself. You don't even know yourself, but now if you're saying that it's a revelation, if it's foretelling, you got another big problem. Who are you giving a revelation to? Who in the world are you giving a revelation to? Other than the people who speak that language. So this is what I said, and I've asked folks, and I still haven't gotten anyone who disagrees, who knows the Greek. If you disagree, find someone who knows the Greek to tell me that I'm wrong, core your wrong, then fine. Again, malan de henna, what is the word Christopher? You're saying you're studying Greek now. Christopher, what does the word henna mean? What does this word Yoda knew alpha mean? Henna refers to, it's a purpose clause, the reason why. In order of that, that's why it says in order of that, look at the bottom of the screen, guys. Don't take my word for it, look right below. Let's see if I can point to it right there. That's what the word means. In order of that, whenever you see henna, it's telling them the reason why you should do these things. So in order that you may give a fourth telling prophecy or a revelation, in order that you would give a revelation. So what's the purpose of speaking in tongues? According to 1 Corinthians 14, 1 and 1 Corinthians 14, 5. Because the same words, malan de henna, I'm sorry, malan de henna prophecy, in order that you give a prophecy or give a revelation. So what are tongues for? What were tongues for in Acts 2? What were tongues that Jesus said they were gonna do in Acts 1? When Jesus brought this up, broke this point in John 15, what did he say that was gonna happen? That they give a revelation, that they're gonna testify of Christ. Acts 2, what are they doing? Testifying of Christ. Then we get Peter gives an explanation of this testimony of Christ. However, he's rebuking them in Acts 4, I mean, in 1 Corinthians 14, because he just said, I don't want you to be ignorant. So question, if the same two words are Glowside, I'm sorry, Laleo and Glowside, different derivations of it, it can't be praying in tongues, could it? It can't be that you're praying to give a revelation because two problems, if you're praying in tongues and you're praying is to give a revelation, who are you giving a revelation to? To you or God? You're giving God a revelation? When was the last time we gave anyone in Scripture gave God a revelation? When did anyone give God a revelation? Other than never, when? And then two, if it's for you, problem is, you don't know what you just said. You're praying in tongues, you have no clue what you just said. Now, by the way, I'm still waiting for those folks that have said that it is to edify your prayer life, is to build you up and so forth, whatever, I want a Scripture, give me a Scripture. By the way, how many times, ladies and gentlemen, do we actually hear tongues in the Bible? Now, we're told of tongues a couple of times. We are told of it a few times. We're told about it in Acts 2. We assume it happened in Acts 8, Acts 10 and Acts 19. Only a few times, right? But how many times do we actually hear and know what was said in tongues? Only once, that's Acts 2. So only one time in the Bible, do we get a full description of tongues? We turn around and take that tongue, that description of tongues and put it on a shelf and then invent something different. In Acts 2, the one time that we see tongues used and it's done properly, we've got, it's in languages, it's to unbelievers and we even have the only one time also an interpretation, which the Bible, the word is, means literally to explain. It's part of the word where we get the word hermeneutics from, the, I may not. It's where we, it's part of the word that we have for hermeneutics, our explanation, interpretation. That's what this word is. It's not saying something word for word. No, it's giving, if you hear this, now you're explained to the people that heard something. So my question to all of those, and I'm still waiting, I'm still waiting. I'll go, okay, read 1 Corinthians 14, I'll get there in just a second then. My question is, what does this Greek mean? Pursue love, desire, the pneumaticone in order that you prophesy, in order that you bring a revelation. Bring a revelation who? Well, what he's been talking about, all the spiritual gifts before for the building up of the body, which is just how we saw in Acts 2. But wait a minute, Corey. But the one who speaks in the tongue does not speak to men, but to God, for no one understands in the spirit. He speaks mysteries. So again, he didn't even know what he was saying. Paul just said, I don't want you to be ignorant. When we drop down a little further, we're gonna see that you don't know what you're talking about. Not you, but the people that are doing this. You guys don't know what you're saying. And Paul gives a solution for them, not knowing what they're saying. Pray that you have interpretation. Pray that you get understanding and explanation. So pray in, as he says, an intelligible words. Pray in the intelligible words. Now, let's continue. But the one who prophesies, this is giving a revelation, what does he do? Speaks to men for edification and ever to agitation and consolation. Notice what separates the two. Notice what separates the two, this word, day, or but. But is a, I got you, Christa, but is a word of contrast. That's to say, how is it, how is it? It's funny. That's to say, vanilla ice cream is good, but. I just gave a positive for vanilla ice cream. And I followed that up with a but. Is that but going to be positive as well? Well, no, it's not gonna be positive as well. Because I, why? Because I use the but, same thing here. Same thing works in Greek, same thing works in Hebrew. What was the evidence? This will feel, feel, feel, come back to the channel every day, come to this channel every day. What was the evidence in the Old Testament people being filled with the spirit? Well, anyone can have none. There was nothing, there was none filled with the, now the spirit came upon people, came upon Saul and left him, came upon David, came upon Solomon, left him. But the being feel, we don't have that Dewey. We don't have that Dewey, as a matter of, there's a promise to be feel in Ezekiel and Jeremiah and Deuteronomy. We don't have that. So let's continue. The one who speaks in the tongue edifies himself. The one, now this is where you guys have the unknown tongue. Your King James Version is trying to help you out here, but the word unknown, look over here. Let me speak in some tongues right for a second. How long, low size, you tone, you document. The word unknown is not there. The word unknown tongue, unknown, the word tongue is there, low size. By the way, there's two words, like long, low size, this is a singular, so the one that's speaking is a singular tongue. All you're doing is edifying yourself. What have you always been told to do to edify the body, not you, because he goes on to say even after this about six, seven more times to edify the body. Now I wish that you all spoke in these, notice the difference by laying low size. Notice his shift from singular that he's dealing with in verse four to verse five, plural tongues, which our language is. Why in order that you bring a revelation? Now you said, what you said go to look at what verse, first Corinthians 14, 18. Let's drop down to first Corinthians 14, 18. Now go to your verse, Christa. And then if reborn, if you want to come on for a brief second, I thank God I speak in tongues more than you. Notice, lilo and glow size, these are plural tongues. I thank God I speak in tongues more than all of you. Now, is that to prove a point? Is that to say that, see, we're supposed to speak in tongues? No, because Chris, what if I'm correct and tongues are languages? Did Paul speak in more languages than virtually everybody else? Yes, so that's not proving your point. By the way, Matt, hold on. I'll just try to, I'll just sound to you with what this was pointing to. Because you know what this really didn't say though, Chris? You know what this passage really isn't saying? I won't make this a definitive point, but it says, I thank God that I speak in tongues more than all of you. The word that would seem to indicate that he's speaking of a lot of different tongues, if you're speaking more often, I don't think that's the word that would be used more often than you do. I don't think that this word is more my loan is that's not the word for more often. I won't make too big of a point right there, so that doesn't make your point at all. I thank God I speak in tongues more often than you or more than you. I think he's speaking of tongues plural because he spoke in different tongues. He says, however, in the church, I desire to speak, I would desire to speak in five words with my mind knowing that's the same word for not being ignorant, the opposite of it, so that I might instruct others. Again, we want to instruct others. Chris says, go to 1 Corinthians 14, 14. For if I pray in a tone, my spirit prays, but my mind is unfurly. Ladies and gentlemen, let me ask you guys a question. Is it possible? Is it possible to be zealous and ignorant at the same time? And ignorant at the same time? Is it possible to be zealous and ignorant at the same time? Just yes or no. Everyone, I won't go any further until you guys answer this question. Is it possible to be zealous of the Lord? Meaning sincere and ignorant at the same time? Is it possible to be zealous? I'm trying to say something. Is it possible to be zealous and ignorant at the same time? Is it possible to be zealous and ignorant of the Lord? You got to say, yeah, matter of fact, even Mike Todd says so. You can be saved and stupid. Treat that, you can be saved and stupid. Yeah, and you're right, Winnie, because the Bible says that Paul did what he did with a zeal, but not according to knowledge. What he did, he was zealous, but didn't know. And so Paul even says to these people, you guys have this zeal, but you're ignorant. You guys have this zeal, but you're ignorant. Chris and anyone else, how were they speaking in tongues? Were they speaking in tongues where they themselves or anyone else understood? Did anybody understand the tongues that they were speaking, Chris? Did anybody in Corinth understand the tongues that anyone else was speaking? No, that's why he's, if you can, no one, no one, that's why he says only God knows what you're saying. You're just speaking mysteries in the air, only God knows what you're saying. Would I, if I said, Chris, all you do to speak to the air, you wouldn't be happy about that. So if every time this word tongues comes out, if every time we read in the scriptures tongues, we see those two words, laleo and glossize in some form, then there is no difference between speaking in tongues and praying in tongues. And if they're the same, it's required that there be understanding or interpretation. Now, the Bible doesn't say if the interpretation has to come from somebody else or from the person themselves. In other words, if I got up and started speaking in these languages, can I also get up and give an explanation as well? The Bible doesn't say I can't, it just says pray that you have explanation or understanding or interpretation. So I could probably do so, that it does not preclude me from doing so, or somebody else. And who is the target of these tongues? According to the scriptures, it's the non-believer. Because, and by the way, we know it's a language. Is there anybody that disagrees and believes that tongues is not a language? Well, tongues is an angelic language. Says who? Do we have an example of anyone ever praying in tongues or speaking in an angelic language? No, we don't have one example. What we do have though, is in this very chapter when Paul is speaking about tongues, he refers to it as a language from Isaiah 28. How do I, so let's go to Isaiah 28. Isaiah 28 says, indeed he will speak to this people who Israel. Through stammering lips and a foreign tongue, a foreign language. This word right here is the same word for language. And so, what is Paul speaking of in 1 Corinthians 14? A language. What do we see it acts to? A language. And so, when someone comes back and says, this is where it gets funny. It's a language, but that doesn't mean that everyone knows it. What do you know it? Because if you don't know it, then you're ignorant of your own language. And then, yeah, but it's a private prayer language between me and God. Really, what does that do? It's an angelic language so that the devil can't hear it. But wait a second, wait a second. I seem to recall the devil being an angel. A fallen one, but an angel nonetheless. I seem to recall that. Is it some sort of cold? Some sort of morse cold or something like that? Well, I seem to recall Daniel praying and his prayers were still interrupted or there was a fight because the demons still knew. So, because you pray in Spanish, Swahili, English, or gibberish, whatever, you're not stopping the demon from not knowing. Cory replied, I suggest this, which I don't wanna do, I suggest this to the text. He doesn't say you're speaking to the air, not in, I didn't say that. I didn't say I was speaking just about 1st, 1st and 14th too. I'm speaking elsewhere. I wasn't talking about just, the whole chapter is in play. So, where does he say you're just speaking into the air? Well, let's go find that then. Let's go find it from my brother, Christopher. Let's see. Let's start right here. Let's start in verse six, shall we? But now, brother, if I come to you speaking in languages, what will I profit you unless I speak to you? Because who's speaking to the speaker? The tongues seem to be outward going. What will I profit you unless I speak to you either by way of revelation or by knowledge or prophecy, which say revelation or teaching, yet even lifeless things, either flute or harp in producing a sound, if they do not present, produce a distinction in the tongue, how will it be known what is played on the flute or on the harp? For if the bugle produces an indistinct sound, an indistinct sound, an unknown sound, a sound that's indistinct, who will prepare himself for battle? Here it is, Chris. So also you, unless you utter by the tongue speech that is clear, how will it be known what is spoken for you will be speaking into the air? So if you're doing this, if you're speaking these tongues, if you've got these tongues and there's no distinction, there's no understanding, what does he say you're doing, Christopher? You're just speaking into the air. So Christopher, when you pray, do you know what you're saying, Christopher? Christopher, everyone else? When you're praying in tongues, speaking in tongues, do you know what you're saying? Because if you don't, you are just speaking to the air. And then Paul brings up this issue. He says there are perhaps great, a great many kinds of languages in the world, and no kind is without meaning. Why is he bringing this up talking my tongues if it's not a language? If then I do not know the meaning of the language, I will be to the one speaking, which could be yourself, a barbarian. And to the one who speaks will be a barbarian to me. So also, since you are zealous, since you are zealous for spiritual gifts, look what he says. Christopher, since you're zealous, seek to abound for the what? The building up of yourself. No, for the building up of the church. Therefore, let one who speaks in a tone, pray that he may, here it is, the Hermeneu, I'm sorry, the Hermenei, which is to give an order. This is through hermeneutics. That's kind of the basis of the word. But to bring about an interpretation explanation, pray that he may interpret. Why does he, Christopher, Katrina, whomever else, reborn? Why does he want you to interpret if it's not important for you to know what you're saying? For if I pray in a tone, my spirit prays, but my mind is unfruit, my spirit prays, but my mind is unfruit, my spirit prays, but I'm ignorant. You can be saved and stupid. Treat that, you can be saved and stupid. My spirit prays, but my mind is ignorant. What is the outcome? What's the solution, Christopher? What's the solution, sister soldier? What's the solution, feel? I will pray with the spirit and I will pray with my mind. No, A. What did he say in 1 Corinthians 12? It's a chapter, two chapters over. I don't want you to be agnoing. So when you pray, you better interpret. You better have explanation. Oh, by the way, he's not, he's not even bringing up praying in the spirit, but if you want to do that, fine, you better interpret, you better understand. Otherwise, if you bless in the spirit only, how will the one who feels the place of the ungifted, by the way, this word for the ungifted is the idiot. That's learning what the word says. Idiot to say the amen. How can you say amen when you pray in the spirit? You can't, can you? You can't even, how sad would that be? You pray, you can't even say amen. You can't even say amen because you have no clue what you just said. Well, the Lord knows my heart. All right. If you're gonna pray in the spirit and you don't know what you're saying, why pray? Since the Lord knows what you have need before you even ask it, why even pray? Okay, you have the interpretation of your tongues. Since you have, Christopher, since you have the interpretation of your tongues, why not just pray in English? Since you have the interpretation of your tongues, why not just pray in English? And again, where in the Bible? And we're gonna get ready to close if we're born and still there and he wants to come on. Cause I didn't promise that. Where in the Bible, Christopher, or anyone else? Where in the Bible, where in the Bible does it say, does it teach praying in tongues? Give me a passage. Now, what Katrina just brought up, this passage here, I think this maybe what she's getting at. In the same way, the spirit also helps in our weakness but we do not know how to pray as we should, but the spirit himself intercedes for us with groanings to do for words. Is this tongues? It's too deep for words. The word is the magnum voice, which means it's unuttered. It's silent. And by the way, this is about salvation. So, I'm disappointed in some of you guys though. I really am. Some of you guys are like, I don't wanna talk about this anymore. Why? It's the Bible. I don't wanna talk about this anymore. This is, you know why you don't want to? I'm just gonna be honest with you. You know why some of you guys get bothered by this? Cause I'm doing what you're not doing. I'm using the scriptures. You bring your scriptures and I cover it but you don't, Chris, notice, Chris hadn't answered my passages yet. Chris hadn't given me a passage that says that praying in tongues, there's a passage for that. Chris hadn't answered what does 1 Corinthians 14.1 or five means, but he's not by himself cause neither did Dr. Michael Brown or any other person knows the Greek, cause you can't. Cause if you answer what it literally means, if you answer what it literally means, you are forced to come to the conclusion and not say what it says outside of the text. He says he answered the text. So let's go back to it then, Mr. Let's see if you did answer. 1 Corinthians 14. Therefore the one, I'm sorry, verse 14. If I pray in a tongue, ladies and gentlemen, what do we see here in verse 14, verse, yeah. If I pray in a tongue, by the way, if I pray in a tongue, this is the middle subjunctive. So it could be if a person prays in tongue but let's say Paul, if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prays fine. I get that. I believe that folks that speak in tongues, they are legitimate. They are serious. They mean that. But I still say they're ignorant. I say so cause Paul literally says this guys, Christopher, do you not see in this chapter where Paul is literally saying the person does that is doing so ignorantly. But my mind is unfruitful, Christopher. If I pray in a tongue, my spirit prays but my mind is unfruitful. So Christopher, matter of fact, let's do this. Ladies and gentlemen, any of you guys are, Cory, don't teach false doctrine. I don't think I do. But if you think so, then tell me. Christopher, aren't you in Bible class, Bible college or seminary? Aren't you in Bible college? By the way, the rest of you guys that are taking the class and you have to give an observation of the text. Let's do that. Let's apply this observation to the text. Let's go to verse 14. We can observe this. If I pray in a tongue, my spirit prays but my mind is unfruitful. Whose mind is unfruitful? That's a good question, by the way, last sauce. I'll answer that question just a second. Whose mind is unfruitful? What does Paul say, Christopher? Katrina, is this a soldier feel? What does Paul say the outcome of the person that prays in tongue in this passage? If this is your go-to passage to say that we should pray in tongues. If this is your go-to passage, I want you guys to pay attention. I want you to be what Paul says, stop being babies with the scripture. Look what it says. For if I pray in a tongue, what is this conclusion about praying in a tongue? Does anyone see this? Is it just me? What does it say here? If I pray in a tongue, this is why I need you guys to come in. If I pray, as a matter of fact, let's do this. If I pray in a tongue, let me just highlight this. What's it say? I'm going to read 15 also. Let's put, I have it underlined as well. If I pray in a tongue, what is the result of, as he says, praying in tongues? Anyone see this? The result of praying in a tongue, my mind is unfruitful. Christopher, Mr. I pray in the tongue all the time. Then your mind is unfruitful. If that's the passage you want to use, then according to Paul, my mind is unfruitful. Your mind is a, Paul says so. His is, yours is too. My mind is unfruitful. There's no fruit to it. No carp watch, no results. What then is the outcome? So he says, I will pray with the spirit, which we all should do. And I will pray with my mind also. Did he say I will turn around and pray in the spirit again? Why, I'll wait. Oh, wait, oh, okay, wait. All right, Christopher. Unfruitful is not a bad thing. Unfruitful is not a bad thing. Let me pause for a second. Christopher, you just disappointed me, young brother. You just disappointed me. Unfruitful is not a bad thing. I'll leave that right there. I'll just leave that right there, Christopher, until you come back and say, okay, I didn't really mean that. That's not what I meant to say. Okay, what I really mean. Unfruitful is not a bad thing. All right, name something else in the Bible that you can be unfruitful for and be, you know what, good job, you're unfruitful. Your walk is unfruitful, like Galatians 5. That's the same word that's used there for Galatians 5, walking in the spirit, the fruit of it, fruitful. Unfruitful is not a bad, wow. You need a phone friend, you can get some, no, Christopher, don't do, and I love Christopher, because Christopher is usually with the text, but Chris has a bias as he is attached to it and he is gonna fight, like, fight like hell to keep it. Oh, wait, hold on, hold on. Christopher says there is, wait a second. There is no negation in the text. Yes, it is Christopher. Yes, it is Christopher. Can we go to the Greek, Christopher? What's the word unfruitful? Let's highlight over here, guys. Y'all see that? This word is highlighted. Christopher, you know that word? That word is, I, Carpus. You know what the I is, Christopher? Christopher, do you know what the I is? The I is the negation. Like when Paul says, let's go to the first time that we see the I. Now concerning spiritual gifts, brother, I do not want you to be, look at the word. Here's the two words that's written right here. No aim, which is to know. And then the I, not know, that's the negation. I, we go back to Acts 14. I mean, first of all, there's 14. I, Carpus, is the negation. Not fruitful. So Christopher, you're wrong. There is a negation in the word. The word implicit in the word is that Christopher, don't do that, brother. Just say, huh. Or to say, this what I would say is helpful. This is what I would say is helpful. This is what I say, I'll say is helpful. If you're not totally sure, then don't rush to give an answer to defend yourself. Now, Chris comes back and says, not in the context of tongues, Corey, it's not. Give the positive affirmation that Paul has given to them. Christopher, give the positive affirmation that Paul has given. Who does he say in any of 1st Corinthians 14 or 12, you're doing a great job. This is a, remember guys, this is a letter of rebuke. I'm starting to see why the Marcus Rodgers of the world will not have this conversation. I'm starting to see what the others will not have it because you're not, I'm just gonna go to the text. Not your feelings. This is a wonderful experience. Your prayer life opens up this, okay, but you won't give a passage. If I prayed a tongue, my spirit prays, but my mind is, that's a negative statement, Christopher. What is the outcome then? I will pray. So what is Paul's solution? Pray, pray, I see it, Brian. I will pray in the spirit and I will pray with my mind. Why? Cause what's the word? Look at this word here. This word I will pray with my mind. It's the positive, noe, not the agnoe, amen. All right, let me go ahead and get through some of these last questions and we'll go ahead and move on. I'm having fun. I'm having fun. And by the way, don't take me as being angry with you guys, but this is one of those times where I'm gonna make you stick to the text. You're either gonna stick to the text and prove your point, prove me wrong, or say, you know what? I might have to. Let me at least rethink it. Let me at least go back and find out some more. That's what I did. Christopher, I was at the exact same spot when someone was saying, no, Cory, no, Cory, here's the text. Nope, nope, nope. I was fighting to the nail, but at some point in time, I had to lay down. Oh, I can't get past that. That was another issue also was brought up too little, like that it says that their tongues were pagan, Babylonian gibberish, heavenly tongues might just be biblical teachings that only those with the Holy Spirit understand. I might be wrong. The only problem is we don't have a text to go with that. So if now, if there is an angelic or heavenly language, we've never heard it. Because every time that someone spoke, every time an angel spoke, how did the angel speak? To what the person is speaking to, could understand it. Thank you, Monologon and Trey for the super chat. As well as, that scatter brings, thank you so much as well. Cory, you do agree that Paul spoke in tongues, right? Yes, I do. For he did say, I think guy that I speak in tongues, yes, he did. And I think the tongues he's speaking of because he's using the plural glow size, that's where the grammar comes in. He's using the plural glow size. If Paul were saying that I speak in more, that I speak in tongues more than you, the grammar of that statement would be different. And he would have used a singular glow size. But in this case, I'm speaking in more tongues, period, more languages, period. Are you with me? And again, I'm not saying don't speak in tongues. I'm not, I'm not forbidden. I'm not forbidden tongues. I'm, I promise you I'm not. Thank you, Doris for the super sticker as well. Let's see. Tongues comes in acts at the same exact moment at the time of the Gentiles has come in. These were known language to bring them up all. Now, remember, and I've covered this before. Why do we have tongues in acts and why does it come in these stages? Remember, Jesus says, I want you to be witnesses in Jerusalem and Judea, that's the Jews, Samaria, that's the Samaritans, and then to the rest of the world, that's the Gentiles. And how does it happen? Just like that, why? Because the Jews could not be like they have a tendency to be, or like we all do, have a tendency to be kind of racist, racial prejudice. Well, you're saved, but we have the Holy Spirit. No, because what do the Jews see? The Jews get the outpouring on them first. That's why it says, cry lots to the Jews first and then the Gentiles. So the Jews get it first. Then they see they witnessed the Samaritans getting it. Peter and John come down and lay hands on those, give approval over or validity over those in Samaria so that now the Jews have to say, we as Jews have it. So to do the Samaritans also have the Holy Spirit. Then where they really get thrown a loop is when the Gentiles get the Holy Spirit and we see them speaking in tongues. That's why it says, and those Jews that were with them, marvel that even the Gentiles received the Holy Spirit. So now we've got every people group, and then John's disciples get it, every people group receiving the Holy Spirit so they know that everybody who is in Christ has the Holy Spirit. And that way, and the reason for the tongues was for two reasons. There was two reasons for the tongues. Don't miss this point, guys. One, as we see there, to witness to the people, because when the first tongues come out, what happens? They're given glory about this testimony of Christ. They're telling them what they heard. And then two, what was told? The prophecy from the Old Testament and the New Testament that it would be a sign to these Jews as well. And so what did the Jews begin to see? They see that other people, unlike that aren't Jewish, also receive the Holy Spirit. And it would be just what Paul brings up in 1 Corinthians 14, he brings up Acts 28, that this sign of these other people speaking these languages to you, you ain't gonna even accept it. So we know it's a language, and we know that Israel sees this and many of them are going to reject it. It would be a sign against them. So those are the two reasons the Bible brings up, and it's the two reasons that we have today. Unless those two reasons are present, why are you doing it? You can't tell me that my English tongues are different or less off than yours. Amen. By the way, while I'm lovely, Jersey Bill and John Ford, thank you so much for the super chat. So guys, let me just say this and be clear with it. If you're gonna say what your point is, if you're gonna say that this is praying in tongues, give a scripture, you can't give one. I don't care how it makes you feel. I don't care if it makes you just feel Jim Dandy, wonderful, awesome. I don't care if you don't have a scripture. It's just an experience. Just like you thought that you was in love with Bob or Mary. Did Peter, John, and the believers in acts no Parthians, me, no sir. Their mind was unfruitful that no, no, no, no. Christopher, do yourself a favor. You are just dishing out Ailes. You're getting Ailes a day. Let's go to that pastor. I love you, brother. I love you. That's why I'm on you. He says, did Peter, John, and the believers in acts no Parthians and me. Couple things, Chris. Let's go to this passage. And as the spirit gave utterance to them to speak, they were what? First of all, Chris, they were speaking languages. That didn't bode well for you because you guys aren't speaking languages. They were speaking languages. Now they were living in Jerusalem, devout men from every nation under heaven. And they began speaking as verse seven. They were amazed and astonished, saying, why are not all these who are Galileans? And how is it that we hear each of them in our own language, which we were born? He goes through the list of them, verse 12. And they all continue in amazement and great perplexity saying to one other, what does this mean? But others were mocking. So here come the mockers saying, then Peter gets up. What does Peter know? How do we know that Peter understood what he was saying? Because now he's going to explain to everyone else. But Peter's taking a stand with the 11, raised his voice and declared to them, men of Judea and all you who live in Jerusalem, let it be known to you and give heed to my words for these men are not drunk as you suppose, for it is only the third hour. But this is what was spoken through the prophet Joel. And then what does he say? Your spirit will be poured out and they shall prophesy. Question, did they prophesy, Chris? Did they prophesy? Yes, they did. They brought a revelation because you said yourself is a fourth telling revelation. So Peter knows what he's saying and he goes on to do what? To give them what he said. Men of Israel listen to these words. Jesus of Nazaring, a man of test to you by God. So what is he doing? With the Holy Spirit giving the gospel in their language and the other language. It's the only time in the Bible, Christopher and everyone else. It's the only time where we see language being spoken, the actual language, the only time that we see tongues being spoken and what was said. Cause we don't know what was said in Acts eight. We don't know what was said in Acts 10 or 19. We know what was said here. And then they followed up with the rule. The rule is there must be an explanation. Is there an explanation here? If you think that what Peter is giving is not an explanation, well then you don't know what an explanation or interpretation is. Cause that's literally what he's saying. He's saying what they said, the people in other languages said that they said. Now he's giving detail. Guys, Christopher, just say, you know what? Let me think about this some more. And I'm always, listen, I'm always willing for you to come back and hit me with something else. More than welcome. But if you're going to say this, you gotta give a scripture and back that up. Amen? So here's the question or to the question, should you pray in tongues? Absolutely not. There is no passage that says you should. There is no example of anyone that does. The only one that people can point to is where he says, my mind is unfruitful. And Paul just said, I don't want you to be unfruitful or ignorant. I want you to know what you're saying. Now let me answer this question that Last Sauce asked is a very important question. He says, Corey, when should tongues be used? Don't go on it. You know what I had? Wait a second, wait a second. I never use it. Where is it? Where is it? Where is it? Hold on, hold on guys. We figured this out. We figured this out. It's on here somewhere. It's on here somewhere. There it is. There it is. I never use these little things, but AKA, that's the question all along. That is the question all along. When should we speak in tongues? 1 Corinthians 12, 10, 11 tells us when we should speak in tongues. 1 Corinthians 12, verse 11. 11, but one of the same spirit works all these things distributing to each one individually just as he wills. When the Holy Spirit wheels and we see the examples when he does and there's some benefit to the other people because he says all of these gifts should be for the building of the body. At some point in time, I'm sorry man, let me get up here. At some point in time, there might be someone who will need to hear the gospel in different language and the spirit can come over you. I don't know. I don't know. But if English suffice, if I wanna praise God or give a revelation of God to someone who doesn't know the Lord, I'm gonna do it in the language that I know, in the language that I know. If we both speak English, I'm not gonna speak in tongues that person. How does that benefit anyone else? Like Paul says. So guys, it's fine to disagree. It is perfectly fine to disagree. Disagree with the scriptures. Disagree and listen. This is where it has to be, it's incumbent upon you to at least be humble. Cory, you're not humble about this. Again, I started off on that other side, fighting tooth and nail about loss of salvation, about tongues. Nope, you can speak in, I'll never forget that. I was told you shouldn't be, no, of course not tongues. And if I got off the phone hung up, I started speaking in tongues. Just I'm gonna show you. I've got to let the spirit drive and I've got to let the word determine if what I'm doing that I think is by the spirit. Cause it's possible to think something is of the spirit. It's possible. But how you know so is by the word of God. If it doesn't lie with the word of God, it ain't, it's just your feelings, just your opinion, just your emotion, just your imagination. Just your imagination run away from you. Some of y'all get that later anyway. Anyway guys, love you so much. I know there's gonna be a lot of disagreement. If there is, fine, so be it. I will engage with you on the disagreements. We'll go through the scriptures or go watch one of the other 30 or 40 videos that I've done on tongues. In the meantime guys, love you so much. See you all. God bless you.
