Is Speaking in Tongues Biblical? #georgejanko #cliffeknechtle #jesus #god

I was anointed with oil and prayed upon while having stage four cancer and afterwards someone asked me, didn't that scare you? the way they were speaking while praying for I heard English the whole time. I heard those words asking for my healing. 2 weeks later I was no longer stage 4 with a 15% chance of survival but now I was a stage two with a 70% chance of survival. 18 years later I'm still here and alive to tell you this testimony. GOD IS REAL. IM ALIVE BECAUSE OF

Pentecost is the reversal of the confusion of tongues during the Tower of Babel building. God allowed them to understand each other through the Holy Spirit and the main purpose was praise and worship of the One True God.

[lucasrife]

1 Corinthians 14:28 (KJV) But if there be no interpreter, let him keep silence in the church; and let him speak to himself, and to God.

[CozetM]

I remember once I was watching a sermon. The pastor was talking about this verse. He said that once, him and some friends of his were invited to a church. During the sermon, someone suddenly stood up and started speaking "in tongues", another person stood up and started interpreting. One of the guys the pastor came with felt off about it. He had some knowledge of the Hebrew language, so he stood up and spoke a simple sentence. Some guy in the church stood up and "interpreted" what he said. It wasn't even close. The guy that spoke the Hebrew said that that was incorrect and stated what he had said. They all got up and decided to leave. Beware. Just because there is someone to speak and someone to interpret doesn't mean it was of the Holy Spirit.

There appears to be a 3rd as well. Paul said that when we speak to ourselves and to God, we speak mysteries there appears to be a tongues that is given to some that can be between just them and God.

Tongues and interpretations of tongues are real. I have experienced them many many times and it is a wonderful beautiful gift given to the body of Christ for the edification and for the comfort of the church. It is also a wonderful dynamic way to pray in private.

[kellykizer]

The most important tongue is confessing Jesus before men.

[angelstar]

I've been in the Church my entire life and it is rare that there is interpretation of unknown tongues. When sincere questions are raised those who speak in tongues get defensive. That is not the way it should be.

I experienced this blessing once. I was in my early 20s and had recently been married. We were living with her family in Illinois and they were of Pentecostal faith. I had some experience as a Methodist in my early teen years. I remember my Mom took me around to different church denominations. She grew up in the 4 Square denomination and she remembered it was very strict.

On one the first times attending in my wife’s church, we sat in the back of the church. Near the end of service the pastor asked everyone to come forward to pray for one of the partitioners. We all moved forward down the aisle to as close as we could get. The Pastor started to pray over this person and at some point he says, “And GOD told me to pray for you!”. He said this as he pointed his finger right between my eyes. He might as well have shot me with a gun as I looked him square in the eye when his booming voice rang those words out.

For someone who hasn’t experience that it is hard to communicate what happened to me. It was as if I had instantly passed out. I felt like I was at the feet of Christ. In my mind I was as low as I could be in front of Jesus and it felt as if I was singing praises to Him. I was at complete peace to the point I didn’t want to return to this world. Somehow, the rest of the parishioners brought me to the front of the church and they were all praying for me. I came to shortly after this in complete bewilderment to what had happened to me. The entire church told me I had spoke in tongues. I had never seen anyone speak in tongues before. All I knew was it was real what happened to me.

My life with my then wife, was short lived. We ended up getting an annulment against my wishes, but there was some infidelity on her part and I was willing to forgive her, but she was unreconcilable.

I went through many ups and downs in my faith ride, God preparing me for what He wanted for me.

I now attend a non-denominational church that speaks from the Bible scriptures. I love my church and now serve in the capacity of a youth leader for grades k-5. I absolutely love Gods Children and through my Air Force experience as an instructor, He uses me to preach to them. I can’t wait to be with them each Sunday. It is the highlight of my week.

What I experienced with Speaking in tongues was real and I would not change that experience one iota.

Praise God Almighty and may we all find our special gifts and use them to Glorify Jesus’ Holy name!

I lift each of you up and pray for our country to return to following Jesus.

I pray all this in Jesus Holy and precious Name! Amen and Amen.

In the Bible Paul refers to speaking in tongues as crossing language barriers to communicate the message of God to others. God is not a God of confusion and the truly spiritual can control themselves through the grace of God. If the Holy Spirit is present there is always peace and clarity, not confusion. God always wants us to understand, that’s why we should always be wary of participating in behaviors where unclarity dwells. Why do we need to speak in an unknown language to God when He already dwells in us and understands us more than we do ourselves?

[BobBob-dbxq]

I witnessed my 13 year old brother speak it😊 I was 11 and was shocked and surprised. He remembered not...so now I'm sure it was God speaking to me through my brother. I remember like it was yesterday...thank you God for showing yourself to me that glorious day...

[chirese]

My old church, a woman who knows nothing of the Chinese language. Stood up and spoke to a woman who did and it helped that woman, whatever was said

[ASwordOfTheLord]

SO WHEN I WAS BAPTIZED AT 10 YEARS OLD BY THE LAYING ON HIS HANDS AND I RECEIVED THE HOLY SPIRIT I WAS LAID ON THE FLOOR SPEAKING IN
NOBODY HAD A CLUE WHAT I WAS SAYING AND NOBODY COULD INTERPRET WHAT I WAS SAYING BECAUSE IT WAS A SPIRITUAL COMMUNICATION BETWEEN ME AND THE LORD
THAT WAS A SIGN THAT SHOW THAT I HAD RECEIVED THE GIFT OF THE HOLY SPIRIT, I ALSO RECEIVED SPIRITUAL GIFTS....

We must “exercise” this daily as such should be saved. It’s a supernatural experience. It saved me and has kept me. It’s my LIFE LINE with the ONE true living God. Do I do it daily, ? No, I strive for it though. It’s overwhelming to tap into that type of worship and praise to The Almighty. Pray in tongues ❤

[sovereignslime]

Probably should go into more detail on the last part he spoke “if there’s a break down there …”

[chellakumarthangadurai]

If you have doubts in Bible, look Jesus.
It will be cleared. Glory to God.

[rlittlefield]

I think a lot of people fake it, but I have experienced it.

[TheJaneChronicles]

I just literally love cliffe. He's so humble and breaks things down so we can understand and accept the word. He's been such a huge part of my religious grasp and growth. Thank you so much. Truly ❤

In Acts 2 they spoke in tongues of fire and God gave the multitude the ability to hear it in their own language. The disciples did not speak in their languages. You cannot speak in four different languages at the same time. They spoken in tongues, but the people heard it in their own language by way of the Holy spirit. This is why they were so amazed and this is why 3, 000 came to know Christ that day.

[belindathrasher]

Hallelujah when I received the gift of the Holy Spirit and I spoke in many languages it was Amazing and I was shocked and crying and of course I also have my prayer tongue praise Jesus
