Spiritual Gifts

My Pastor says gift of prophecy builds up, stirs up, cheers up. Edification, exhortation, comfort.

I had forgotten about the verse, I had always thought it was strange when some churches allow speaking in tongues in the front of the church, with no interpreter, and now I know there is a Biblical basis for having someone present to interpret the speaking in tongues.

I Corinthians 14:28
"But if there is no one to interpret, let each of them keep silent in church and speak to himself and to God."

Amazing video. Preparing to teach this to the Youth group at my Church and these points that were made give me an awesome and Biblical canvas to lay out this message. God bless this ministry that is still bearing fruit for the Lord!

Thank you for sound teaching concerning spiritual gifts.

Sam Storms is an excellent teacher. Thanks for sharing this!

[garysweeten]

The name given to the 60-70’s Revival was, “The Jesus Movement” not Tongues. Second, the greatest emphasis was “Fruit of the Spirit, not gifts. Third, the Trinity was emphasized for the first time in my life. Fourth, Dr. Storm’s view was the norm by teachers, not novices. Fifth, we saw many lives deeply transformed and healed. Do it again Lord!

If you seek God, if he wills he will grant you tongues or it is His pleasure he will bestow another gift.

I have heard many incidents where some have spoken an unknown tongue to the speaker but there was others around who understood the language which in some cases was an ancient language that very few knew. I have in personal prayer remembered a name that I had never heard before found later that it was Jesus' name that Muslims use. Ultimately, our Heavenly Father wants to encourage and exhort His children which should be in the forefront of the minds of His Church.

Rarely, if ever, do we hear about the abuses of those who do not believe in or practice the Gifts of the Spirit. If one teaches that all gifts of the Spirit have ceased and denigrates those who believe that is not the case then why is that not called abusive? I have found over the last 45 years that many times what we call abuse is nothing more than an affront to our pride and makes us feel uncomfortable because we are so bound up in religion.

I'm not sure if the Corinthians had more of the Spirit 9:42 then others did - if they didn't they wouldn't have so many problems

[AJTramberg]

Listen at 13:43 where he takes 4 words from 1 Cor 12 ..."different kinds of tongues" (also translated "languages") . A second later he veers straight out of scripture into massive speculation. What would make anyone assume those 4 words mean incoherent babbling that any non-believer could mimic?

[Tengoku-RyuKarateKobujutsu]

If scripture says “to each is given the manifestation of the Spirit” why do my fellow charismatics believe there must be a “subsequent” baptism for spiritual gifts to be present?

Albeit, God may endow believers with spiritual gifts at different times “as He wills”, there does not appear to be anything in scripture that upholds the idea of a “subsequent” baptism, evidenced by tongues that is “necessary” to be empowered by the Holy Spirit with spiritual gifts.

I have a question how do I know for sure that I am indeed speaking in angelic tongues and not being deceived by my imagination, what is the standard parameter by which one says "this is an angelic tongue and this other thing isn't" ?

[joshypsalm]

Its more as the Scripture declare "But one and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing to each one individually just as He wills." It is bestowed upon by the Spirit. Not as my friend says a decision. Its not something me and you "decide" . The Spirit bestows it upon you.

@Even2TheEnd Colossians 2:16"Therefore do not let anyone judge you by what you eat or drink, or with regard to a religious festival, a New Moon celebration or a Sabbath day."

[cherubimX]

Thanks for the video. It was very interesting.

[raymondjones]

Why is the church today so divided on the subject of spiritual gifts?

[joshypsalm]

I dont think so. the sabbath has nothing to do with tongues. there are many godly people in the pentacostal movement maybe not the wisest or fine tuned in theology . but my brothers and sisters.

[stayroxy]

so then does one try to speak in tounges or does it just happen ?

[meinaim]

does not just happen, IF one speaks in tounges, it is a concious decision.
