Speaking in tongues Christanon 01/22/18 (Mon) 19:03:05 ae669b No.592609

I already asked in the QTTDTOT-thread this question, but I want to see both sides to it: What's the deal with speaking in tongues? In 1. Corintians chapter 14 Paul says that he wishes that the members of the church may speak in tongues. I am discussing this topic with a friend of mine, who is in a church that practices this - in my opinion still unbiblical - practice and I disagree on speaking in tongues, or at least in the way they do it, which goes as every other charismatic church: everyone prays/speaks loudly in tongues who is "gifted" by the Holy Spirit, even the women, which goes against what Paul said. He said that only 2 to 3 men should practice it and then also translate it to the church, and, as everyone (should) know, it is a shame that a woman speaks in church. I'd like to read the opinions of supporters as well as opposers of speaking in tongues.

The problem with the Pentecostal interpretation of this chapter is that they imply that an "unknown tongue" is a language that's completely unknown to anyone except God.

If 1 Corinthians 14 was talking about the ecstatic utterances of the Pentecostals it would be the one and only passage where "tongue" was anything other than a real, human language (or the organ in your mouth). Of course God provided a miracle at Pentecost and again in the book of Acts, but both those times the miracle was to allow men to speak in foreign languages for the furtherance of the gospel.

>muh heavenly language

>muh prayer language

<22 Wherefore tongues are for a sign, not to them that believe, but to them that believe not: but prophesying serveth not for them that believe not, but for them which believe.

So just as in Acts, tongues are a tool to spread the message to people who speak tongues strange to us.

I've visited a few of these churches myself and from my experience they usually view their babbling as a "sacrament" citing Acts 2:38 and implying "ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost" refers to tongue talking.

Sorry but they sound completely crazy… I don't want to be mean but it makes me very uncomfortable.

It should, it's heresy according to most churches. The idea of continued revelation is condemned by Apostolic and most Protestants.
