That is what you do via your postings here day after day . Not because you speak in tongues but because you are over the top about it pushing it .
I believe what Paul said.

Chopping up Scripture to make your points ,
How have I chopped up scripture?

how about letting the whole of Scripture speak?
I try my best.

Like my mean grandma who said in other ways ... no tongues no salvation
I do not believe that, nor have I ever stated it.

It seems your involvment with SDA has soured you on tongues. It's too bad.

Mean Grandma made the best cinnamon rolls ... :)
Yum!

Note that disagreeing with you is not disagreeing with scripture


NOTE : ---Your NOT disagreeing with ME ---Your showing Unbelief in and disagreement with God's word ---


This is the Scripture separating the 2-----John 20 and Acts 2 ------

In John 20 -----Jesus goes to His Disciples ----and indwelles them with the Holy Spirit by breathing on them -----it is not until Acts that the Disciples receive the infilling of the Holy Spirit --------

John 20 AMP----this is after Jesus was Resurrected ----the Tomb was empty --and he goes and appears to His Disciples -----

Jesus among His Disciples

19 So when it was evening on that same day, the first day of the week, though the disciples were [meeting] behind barred doors for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood among them, and said, “[i]Peace to you.”

20 After He said this, He showed them His hands and His side. When the disciples saw the Lord, they were filled with great joy.

21 Then Jesus said to them again, “Peace to you; as the Father has sent Me, I also send you [as My representatives].”

22 And when He said this, He breathed on them and said to them, “Receive the Holy Spirit.

23 If you forgive the sins of anyone they are forgiven [because of their faith]; if you retain the sins of anyone, they are retained [and remain unforgiven because of their unbelief].”


This is where the Disciples receive the Infilling of the Holy Spirit --------

Acts 2

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

2 And when the day of Pentecost had fully come, they were all assembled together in one place,

2 When suddenly there came a sound from heaven like the rushing of a violent tempest blast, and it filled the whole house in which they were sitting.

3 And there appeared to them tongues resembling fire, which were separated and distributed and which settled on each one of them.

4 And they were all filled (diffused throughout their souls) with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other (different, foreign) languages (tongues), as the Spirit [a]kept giving them clear and loud expression [in each tongue in appropriate words]


2 different Events ---not the same thing -------

There are indications that people did speak in tongues privately and were built up by it. However, when they did so, they were still speaking a human language, not ecstatic utterances. In the assembly, there wasn't to be any speaking in tongues unless there was an interpreter so all could understand and be edified.
not ecstatic utterances : you know of people who use shock wave therapy to Speak in Tongues?
Tell em, stand in a door way frame, hold their tongue between top and bottom rows of teeth, close their eyes tight, count to Specifically 17, when they say around number 15, drill em with the open door until you get it closed shut, lock the door, toss them keys, RUN run run run run!!!!!!!

So if someone prays in say Greek or something, and a German like yourself does not understand it, does it somehow negate that prayer?

There are such big holes in constantly saying what you say above, that a universe could squeeze through :giggle:
Note that in 1 Cor 14, NOBODY understood the tongues, and "interpretation" was required. God's NOT a "one trick pony" you know.

Where did that come from? What makes you think i have ever been part of SDA? Never been SDA .In your words what soured me on tongues was the pushing the AofG has done, hearing things like he is not saved he does not speak in tongues. O the cheep fakers .

I'm disagreeing with your understanding of God's word.

It's too bad that you can't handle that without accusing me of being of Satan, or saying that I have never spoken in tongues.

I was responding to someone who insists otherwise. I speak and pray and sing in tongues myself and understand how it operates.

Thanks

We all tend to cherry pick including you and you post parts of scripture trying to make you points read your posts for what they say not what is in your head .

My old eyes are struggling today

How have I cherry picked scripture? Is quoting scripture cherry-picking it?

I believe all the verses having to do with tongues carry just as much weight as John 3:16, or any other scripture.

Paul is comparing speaking in tongues in public without interpreting to an "uncertain sound." It's a legit comparison.

Your sig: Please note chapter and verse are quoted so the context is only a click or two away,

..you did not post the book, chapter, or verse... :)

It's an open question. Anyone can answer. :)

..stuff to do. Back later.
I must say I have not seen anything of your post in this thread that I disagree with :) and If I have, I think I may have already posted on it.
