At least this church asked for someone who had the gift to interpret tongues. Most places don’t do that. When I read where Paul said we need a translator when speaking in tongues, only three at a time, etc, I was floored and did a lot of thinking about things.
Actually Paul said they need someone with the gift of interpretation of tongues, not translation of tongues, but I get your point and it is very valid.
Hello, professional translator here. Translation is written words, interpretation is spoken, apart from that it's the same thing. But yes, given that, he does mean interpretation.
Absolutely! Most charismatic churches seem to overlook those verses. I went to a church years ago where messages were given in tongues on a couple of occasions, and the service did not progress until someone had given an interpretation, which they did. But then I went to a church a couple of years ago where someone gave a message in tongues - no one gave an interpretation so after a few minutes, they just carried on as if nothing had happened. I didn't go to that church again...

I did that once by quoting a verse I memorized in Korean and the Pentecostal guy was like, "Yeah, there ya go!" You should have seen his face when I told him I spoke Korean.
Since Disney has now ruined all the old Star Wars canon, I can think of no reason not to view this as a perfectly canonical part of the Star Wars universe.
I’m fine with the basics of the prequels and never really took issue with TPM or ROTS. Attack of the Clones and the lazy “comeback” of The Force Waking up is another story.
As a formal pentacostal (still Christian) you did well covering the problems with that particular faith in most cases (especially the southern Pentacostal Holiness churches)
I have the gift of interpretation. When ever I hear some one speak in tongues it sounds like the Lord is calling them to give me $10,000. I generally get a pretty negative reaction when I explain that to them.
One of the things I've never understood is why "speaking in tongues" means "gibberish". I've always felt that it meant "speaking other languages", and I feel the biblical evidences back that up.
In the New Testament, when speaking in tongues is mentioned, at least one person is present, who is not the speaker, who can understand what is said, because it is their native language, and if required, translate. It is extremely rare for contemporary speaking in tongues to be the native language of somebody present. Somewhat more common, but still fairly rare, is for it to be a second language that somebody in the audience knows. In my experience, when this is the case, the message curses both God and Heaven. In the overwhelming majority of instances, there are neither L1 nor L2 users of the language that is being spoken. Furthermore, there are no consistencies in apparent syntax, or vocabulary. That is why so much contemporary speaking in tongues is viewed as pure gibberish.
The Bible is still the authorative word of God. Study it for your self. But be careful of how others interpret it. Some pick and choose different scriptures to back up what they say without giving you the full context of the word. Most of time this comes from weekend Bible warriors who claim to be strong believers in God yet carry on as the world does on the week days. And the only time they read the word is in church with the pastor during service. We are told to work out our own salvation, by reading his whole word and going to God in prayer. The gift of tongues is still given to those God gives, His word never changes, God never changes, his people try to change him every day. And that's all churches.
@David Vogeley Have you read it? If there's something you don't understand or need to discuss, I'm sure there's someone who can have an actual civil conversation about it. Perhaps YT comments aren't the best place to find that, though. Don't go to Reddit, either.
Actually, the speaking in tongues doesn't mean speaking multiple languages but multiple people speaking in one language.It is what the apostle Paul called the " unknown tongue" and " the language of angels".In Acts ch.2 the believers at Pentecost were all speaking in this language and God allowed the people in the crowd to " Hear" what they said in their own languages.Speaking in this language happens as a result of the overflowing Spirit baptism.The reason most christians don' t speak in this language is because when they pray for the Lord to fill them with the Holy Spirit, and He does, they refuse to yield their tongue to the Spirit so He can bear witness, through their tongue, that they are " born of the Spirit" ( John ch.3).Thus they are not only not Spirit baptized but not " born of the Spirit".
I heard a story of a cradle Greek Orthodox go to a Pentecostal/Charismatic service and he said someone said “God is dead.” in Greek, and he got terrified and never went back to a place like that.
"Our translator called in sick with an unexpected case of Lutheranism." Pfft! X-D "You've ruined everything!....Thank you for Star Wars though, we love you!" ROFL!!!
Well isn't it quite possible these people have copmletely misinterprted speaking in tongues? It seems to me it the scripture simply means 'speaking foreign language'.. but not made up ones.
sorcha blake Paul also said it was better to not be married. Are you sure he wasn't just being figurative, since he didn't explain "tongues of angels" and the first Pentecostals purportedly spoke in human languages?
@David Hawley - Hello. I have. Once in a Calvary Chapel branch in Southern California, mid to late 80's. A woman stood up in the row behind us (folding metal chairs in the rented cafeteria of a school) and started going at it - blah, blah, blah,,,, she was talking in espagnol. I had lived in So. California for 20+ years by then and I know Spanish when I hear it. I mentioned it later to the pastor. I said: "She was talking in Spanish, but the Bible says "Tongues" is an unknown language. Spanish is VERY known language'. He says: "Well, she was being moved by the Holy Spirit, and we do not want to hinder God's moving". Barf! I hate it when people blame stupid, and goofy things on God. We left that place about a month later. I had been the kindergarten & 5th Grade Lord's Day school teacher there, but when the Pastor goes along with "showboats" and false stuff, it is time to find a different church/chapel.
@@gusloader123I had a similar experience with someone speaking French, granted the French was incoherent, broken, poorly pronounced, and was a collection of duolingo words, but it was French
Baptist wear shorts. Most of us are in the south and it's hot and humid down here. Sadly many wear them to church now because of seeker sensitive movement.
dosmastrify lol nahhh, Pentecostals here in Canada do not wear shorts, we baptists DEFINITELY wear shorts… to church, out of church, any time we want. God didn’t say no shorts, and definitely didn’t say no shorts in church.
JESUS made legion bow just with HIS very presence. I don't think we have much to fear when we can freely ask for help and actually expect it in those cases.
+TheUraharasensei Yeah, I got a kick out of that. For me, I consider the prequels nonexistent, though I admit I did enjoy the lightsaber fights (especially the Darth Maul fight) and ROTS did have its moments. As for the OT changes, I'm not into Han reacting to Greedo's shot or Young Anakin Force Ghost, but I found that I can live with the changes. However, if Lucasfilm ever did get around to releasing the theatrical versions for purchase, I'd definitely be in.
LOL, 😁 so true! I've been there. I'm an Orthodox Christian. For my artistic expression summer class, I went to a United Pentecostal (Oneness Pentecostal) church to study and describe a religious experience different from my own.I would never forget that the pastor would speak words like "Nolebelelelelebe!" and "Kileobemeshekebebebe!" I could imagine that even 3CPO would say those words are pure jibber-jabberish. I have autism BTW. So I used to make up strange weird words about places and people in my imaginary world when I was a kid, like "Enleecoleek!" and "Leedeedeep". So when the UPC congregation spoke in tongues, to me, they didn't sound much different from my autistic language. At one point during that service, the pastor got everybody, including me, to hold hands and make some strange gibberish words. I was holding hands with one parishner and another, a women in a long skirt making weird gibberish noises as the pastor screamed "Louder!!!! Louder!!! Praise the Lord!!! In the name of Jesus!!! In the name of Jesus!!!! (They constantly say 'In the name of Jesus', because they believe that God is NOT 3 different persons) Webuekeluekelealakalkaakaklalalklaka!" I kinda seriously thought I was going to lift off the floor and fly with the congregation, like Peter Pan! 😄 While it is true that miracles and spiritual gifts have NOT died away and are still given to certain believers today, it is not given in ways that the Pentecostals believe. For example, priests have the gifts of the Holy Spirit to administer sacraments like Baptism, particularly in an Orthodox Church. Compared to the Orthodox, I think Pentecostals and Charismatic Protestants interpret the gifts and use it like little kids, which is what the Church in Corinthians did.
@Spoonger Riley I'm not really a believer anymore but I felt like 1) They both had good points and it was, perhaps, somewhere in between... And 2) Most people probably believe the same thing essentiallu - just different terminology.
You got me with that "you have a demon" bit. Pentecostals do channel spirits but it ain't the Holy Spirit. I remember one story I heard of a little boy from Africa was adopted by a white couple and they went to a Pentecostal church once but the African boy burst into tears and begged them never to take him there again. When asked why, the African child said one of the white Pentecostal men was cursing God in his native language Also the "you ruined everything but thank you for Star Wars, we love you" was gold
Sounds made up, I have heard several versions of this same story. I have learned through alot of self inflicted pain and hard ship not to presume anything but to test all things to see what is true. Be a Berean
I'm thankful I found this video, about speaking in Tongues, I'm Pentecostal, but sorry to say I think a lot of people are frauds at church, and I take no pleasure in saying that. And God is going to separate everyone, the wheat from the chaff. But reading what Jesus said and the way he lived, it's really hard to justify the way some Pastors live, you'd have to do some mental gymnastics with the Word and logic to condone it. I have always been skeptical about speaking in Tongues, I think it does happen, but when it does, very few people will be there to witness it at all.
I loved the humor here. I have a pentecostal friend who speaks in tongues. We have had some interesting discussions about Corinthians and spiritual gifts.
I'm a Presbyterian we don't have tongues we committees on the consideration of the motion to place the motion to reconsider the creation of a committee on tongues. :D In all seriousness I don't like to look down on other people's expression of faith, though I do admit a great deal of the tongue speaking seems to be people making a spectacle of themselves rather than any true expression of faith. I'd far prefer to sit silently in the pew and say the publican's prayer "Lord have mercy on me: a sinner."
I had a friend that said he could speak in tongues, something he was being trained to do (but isn't it a gift, not a skill to learn?). I said, "Oh, really?" To which he replied in gibberish and then asked if I knew what he said. Of course I didn't. His reasoning for my ignorance: I need to be baptized in the spirit "again" at his church. So much wrong there...
Growing up in the Pentecostal theology, I think you might misunderstand their conception of what tongues is. Pentecostals generally believe there is a "tongues" that is private prayer language, and then there are tongues for public exhortation, which require interpretation. Pentecostal denominations like the Assemblies of God are generally fairly strict about the use of tongues publicly, because they know it can descent into chaos without proper interpretation. The speaker isn't always the interpreter, although I've seen it be the case. My parents have also said they've witnessed it where they heard real human languages they understood. I don't see why God couldn't do that in order to increase the faith of people, even if Pentecostalism is by and large wrong ;). It also looks though that your friend misunderstands the gift of tongues as well. It's not supposed to be something you can just do on command and make up words. You're supposed to be receiving an outpouring of the Holy Spirit. Anyway....I'm in the process of converting to Catholicism, so there's that, too LOL.
which corresponds to the thesis in Acts 1:8, that the gospel will be advanced in Judea (Acts 2), Samaria (tongues are implicit in Acts 8), and the ends of the earth (Acts 10, 19). The tongues are never repeated in Jerusalem, Samaria, or after the incident in Acts 19 (which is a transition between the old and new covenant [John vs. Jesus]). if you understand the bigger picture of the redemptive-historical aspect and purpose of Acts, then you will realize these instances are descriptive (and unique to each region), not prescriptive (and repeatable) events. these events indicate that Jesus' promise in 1:8 is coming true (in response to their question in 1:6). since the Spirit has been poured out on Jews, Samaritans, and Gentiles (thus fulfilling Joel's prophecy in 2:28), and since we have in Scripture the verification of God's approval of their conversions by speaking in other languages, tongues are no longer needed to verify that God now pours out His Spirit on all who call upon the name of the Lord Jesus. Sola Scriptura!
Ryan Case Then why would Paul describe tongues as a gift of the spirit on the same level as say teaching and leadership in Romans 12:6-8? I understand your argument and respect it, but at the same time I really think that you have to ignore a ton of scripture to come to that conclusion.
Shout out to how perfectly they character-designed the parishioners. So funny and so accurate. I love that her socks match her shirt and coordinate with her lavender-striped b-ball shorts. Midwest mod.
Pure genius. Especially the snide commentary on the blandness of the Star Wars films in the text intro. Seriously, though, the critique of glossolalia here is spot-on and very biblical.
I remember someone telling me about how they visited one of these churches and the pastor started "speaking in tongues" and it just sounded like he was saying "tie my bow tie untie my bowtie" really fast over and over again. XD
I attended Hispanic Pentecostal churches for a good part of my life, and for some reason, there were people saying what sounded like “Eeya Sika manda.” For a while, I was wondering why they were professing a person by the name of Sika was in charge.
Heard a story from my Dad who attended a Pentecostal Church some time ago. They were doing the tongues, and they had a guest from some African country. He abruptly gets up and points at one of the ladies tongue speaking on stage and says "That's my language! She's blaspheming God in my language!" I think it might have been a bit much for them to kick her out after that. At least they could have checked her for a demon first. Also why it's important to have an interpreter. You never know when crazy stuff like this is happening.
Not me but I read a story about a man who had a Japanese friend who attended a charismatic church, and the "preacher" began "speaking in tongues" and the Japanese man said he was speaking blasphemy against God and confronted this so called "pastor" and the "pastor" denied it, of course, but the Japanese man quit going to that "church"
4:44 "which we'll establish in a future episode no one is actually doing" It's been three years. Any intention to follow-up on this, or did you bite off a bit more than you could chew with that one?
Loved the video! . What I find sadly ironic is church bodies will still endlessly debate whether or not speaking in tongues is "still a thing", even though it only gets referenced in a handful of verses in the Bible, but then give scant attention to the stuff Jesus himself, the Prophets, and the New Testament writers talk about 90% of the time: Saved by Grace thru Faith, forgiveness, repentance, mercy, compassion, kindness, gentleness, etc. . We get all focused on this one speck of debatable doctrine and ignore the massive tree trunk, "love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, mind and strength and love your neighbor as yourself...all the Law and Prophets hang on these" I recall God said something important about specks and logs too.... *shrugs
I'm sitting here wondering what "homeboy" is in Latin... And as a Catholic audio engineer who goes to the Latin Mass, why have I not pulled the audio from this clip and reversed it to try to figure out??
“You speak Angel?” Lol I love that line. I’ve watched this video like 10 times and i still enjoy it. God bless this ministry can’t wait for your next video!
I've been on the Internet since 1993, and the first email list I subscribed to was for jokes. As you might imagine, hardly anything I see online anymore even gives me a chuckle. But you sir, earned several literal LOLs from me with this video. Well done.
I'm not a Pentecostal, but I've never been comfortable with dismissing the possibility of a "prayer language." 1 Cor. 14:2 does say pretty plainly, "For he who speaks in a tongue does not speak to men but to God. For no one understands him; however, in the spirit he speaks mysteries." That doesn't sound anything at all like the miracle in Acts 2, where literally everyone who was present understood what was being said. I may be missing something obvious here, so... thoughts?
You realize Paul is being sarcastic pointing out that it helps nobody so it's of little or no avail because he speaks Mysteries LoL 😂 😂😂😂😂😂. EXACTLY NOBODY UNDERSTANDS And THAT IS THE FREAKING ISSUE
Keep reading. Paul goes on to explain that speaking in tongues isn't helpful to anyone but maybe the person speaking. When Paul uses the word mystery in this passage, he isn't using the word to mean "True Fact that God revealed that we don't quite understand". He's using the normal definition of "Nobody knows what that dude over there is babbling about".
I'm late to comment... I think this is a profound observation. People that use Acts 2 as a template ignore that it is just one example of tongues, while here we see another example. 2 people in this comment seems to think this second example is condemned later, but Paul says he uses this unknown tongue more than anyone, but in the church he does not use unknown tongues. I don't think the tonguecritics have a case here. We are to seek the gifts, including tongues, and this video is an example of disobedient christians mocking those who obey the Word. Sad.
'"For if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prays, but my mind is unfruitful. What then shall I do? I will pray with my spirit, but I will also pray with my mind." 1 Corinthians 14:14-15 How do you explain the "fruitless" mind when Paul is "praying in a tongue"? He doesn't understand what he is saying, it's his spirit praying. Sincerely, - A Lutheran
randomclip paul was a highly educated Roman man, he no doubt spoke multiple languages, but it would make no sense for him to speak a language to people they did not understand, just as it does not today.
Not really sure what the answer you are looking for is; but perhaps Romans 8:26-27 can shed some light. The spirit Paul speaks of here is the Holy Spirit who lives within believers and in our times of fleshly weakness and confusion the spirit will pray for us. How amazing is that?
You wanna know what's the weirdest thing than speaking in tongues is that in all of Threepio 6 million forms of communication he has Ewok as one of them. A language on the edge of the known galaxy from a non space faring species to meet anybody by in turn no space faring race knows of them. Meaning somebody not only found their planet but spend enough time with them to translate their language then got back to civilized space and added their language as one among five million ninety hundred and ninety nine thousand nine hundred and ninety nine other languages in a protocol droid's programing.
In some ways, this video reminds me of the secular media, in that it only gives a biased report in a simple way regarding a complex issue, that is, the view regarding the appropriateness of the operation of the spiritual gifts described in Pau's letter to Corinth. Since I have had some experience with these, I felt the Lord giving me the go ahead to weigh in on it, so here goes. Firstly, I would like to address the issue of whether the "graces" (original word for gifts) are what Paul considered the normal experience for the churches he established. 1 Cor 1:4-7 seems to indicate this to be the case, vs 7 reads "Therefore you do not lack any spiritual gift as you eagerly wait for our Lord Jesus Christ to be revealed." His later instructions are an elaboration on this topic. There is a reference in Eph 6:18 where Paul says "And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and supplications;" this can be viewed 2 ways, in English- either he means allowing the leading of the Spirit while making the prayers and supplications, or he means these 2 kinds of praying to be separate types. It is my opinion that he means the latter, and he is stating the same idea expressed in 1 Cor 14:13-17, vs 15 reads "So what shall I do? I will pray with my spirit, but I will also pray with my mind." In the context of this passage, it is more clear he is speaking of 2 different modes of prayer. This would seem to show that the operation of these gifts was not limited to Corinth, and implies, though not strongly, that Paul considered these a regular part of the result of people believing the gospel message. Acts 10 implies the same idea- vs 10:44-46 "While Peter was still speaking these words, the Holy Spirit came on all who heard the message.The circumcised believers who had come with Peter were astonished that the gift of the Holy Spirit had been poured out even on the Gentiles. For they heard them speaking in tongues and praising God." Luke, the author of Acts, include this account for a reason- he portrays Peter as the first to actually reach out to the Gentiles, even though Paul later features as the prominent messenger to them; however, at this point Peter is considered the chief apostle. Even so, he has to render an account to the other apostles for his actions in disregarding Jewish custom based on Mosaic covenant law. After he relates his story, vs 11:18 of Acts says "When they heard this, they had no further objections and praised God, saying 'So then, God has even granted the Gentiles repentance unto life.' There was clear consensus that this was God's work. Second I would like to address the notion of cessationism, which is the view that the gifts described in Corinthians were a temporary activity limited to the time of the early church period. I am obviously not a cessationist, as I said I have experienced the gifts myself. But I understand, to some extent, why someone would be. Before my introduction to Full Gospel Christianity, I had never heard of "tongues" let alone any of the other gifts. Anything "supernatural" in my world had been connected to occult and magic practices, not part of church. My conversion to born again faith was the direct result of hearing an evangelical Full Gospel preacher, so after my conversion experience I started attending there, much to the dismay of my family, who no doubt thought I had gone from bad to worse, since up to that point I had been into partying with my friends! After a year I went off to a Bible College with Pentecostal roots, and graduated. I saw both good and poor aspects of this brand of Christianity, and quickly learned that every denomination has its strengths and weaknesses. In my opinion, those who are resistant to the idea of the supernatural in the church fail to recognize the truth of scripture- the faith of Christ is basically a supernatural ongoing truth. If you remove the supernatural components from the New Testament, you end up with gospel devoid of the power of God, just like Paul warned about in 2 Tim3:5. Is it any wonder that in the light of modern science, materialism, etc that people are loathe to see ritualistic, powerless religion as anything but archaic, irrelevant, and of no value? Much like ancient Rome, there is prosperity, no shortage of options regarding way of life, philosophies abound, as do religions of every stripe. To most, Christianity is just one among many, it offers nothing significantly different. Christianity in the ancient world turned it upside down. The power of the resurrected Jesus was evident, as Paul says in 1 Cor 2:4-5. True Christianity is not just another philosophy, it is about faith being based on the power of God to transform and heal. My third point is: all this emphasis on "tongues" is actually not biblical. When the Holy Spirit fell as recorded in Acts 4 there is just as much emphasis on speaking the word of God boldly. When Peter preached to the Gentiles in Acts 10, they were speaking in tongues AND PRAISING GOD. This doctrine that speaking in tongues is the "sign" of the gift of the spirit is all wrong. The way I see it, scripture tells us the true sign of the Holy Spirit is a fervent desire and boldness to spread the gospel message. Paul himself describes tongues as the least of the gifts- if that is so, why don't the churches promoting these gifts relegate them to proper status, and start doing what Paul said in 1 Cor 14:12, and seek to excel in the gifts that build up the church? When Christians from churches not involved with these practices observe those who are involved disregarding Paul's instruction on their proper function and use, is it any wonder that they have a problem with them? If the churches practicing these gifts exercised them according to the model Paul left, and did things "decently and in order" they could be seen as at least credible- but if they literally ignore Paul's directives in how to conduct themselves, they have only themselves to blame when they are dismissed as "those Charismaniacs." My final point is something I feel is from the Lord, being very serious now. Paul begins his letter to Corinth wasting no time getting to his primary problem with this church- divisions! Is it any wonder that so many reject the gospel when they see Christians arguing, insulting, and condemning one another, especially over positions on doctrine that aren't even close to the core truths of scripture? This subject of gifts is particularly divisive. My impression from the Lord is this- he wants his church to experience all that he has provided for us, and the gifts are a big part of that plan. However, the enemy is working very hard to make it impossible precisely because THEY ARE SO EFFECTIVE. When one country goes to war, the smart tactic is to take out the most effective weapon your enemy has, it is no different in the battle of light vs. darkness. So that's my opinion, not so short is it? Everything we humans do is complicated, so finding a simple answer is never an easy task. But here I'm going to go ahead and quote a bumper sticker- "JESUS IS THE ANSWER." God bless.
As someone who was influenced by the charismatic doctrine at my first experience with the true gospel. . . It took me almost 20 years of Bible study to discover that " tongues in today's times" was a false teaching . . . I discovered that there was a lot wrong with the charismatic / pentecostal teachings. . . I thank God that there were experiences I went through that got me back on the right path with Him. . . .
I love Donall and Connal so much that I wish I was Lutheran instead of Baptist. I also wish that the JWs that came to my house on Saturday spoke English so that I could ask them about the "true name of GOD" from a prior video. Keep on rolling, @LutheranSatire!
Wait...1 Co 14:2 says "For one who speaks in a tongue does not speak to men but to God; for no one understands, but in his spirit he speaks mysteries". So doesn't that break the premise of this video? From what I understand this chapter talks more about order in the church. As in: praying in tongues is uninteligible and personal so it shoudn't be done during the service, but if you do there must be someone who translates.
OK I read it before but just to be safe I just read it again. Did you guys read the second half of my comment? The Bible seems very clear that there is such a thing as uninteligeble prayer and that we SHOULD do it, just not during community service. Look here: "For if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prays, but my mind is unfruitful. What is the outcome then? I will pray with the spirit and I will pray with the mind also; I will sing with the spirit and I will sing with the mind also." 1 Coríntios 14:14,15
Lucas - Very good points, thank you for making them. Not sure about the "SHOULD" do part, I think Paul makes it very clear in chapters 12 - 14 that God gives different gifts to each and we should not think that our particular gifts are better or worse, more or less necessary. I think that is the main issue when it comes to tongues. People see one area of Christendom acting like tongues are All That and don't understand it, so they criticize and claim it must be all bunk, while the ones that support tongues often act like it is the be all and end all of Christianity, take to extremes often, and look down their noses at those that don't have that gifting. The truth, like most (though not all) things in the denominational divides, lies more likely somewhere in between. As Luther himself posited: most things that seem like contradictions in the Bible - faith vs. works, predestination vs. free-will, liberty vs. legalism - are more likely God's way of keeping a human race that tends to like to put things in nice neat little boxes, from going too far one extreme or the other. We just aren't comfortable with things that don't have a clear, easy explanation.
This is a very good comment. Just to clarify one thing, The tongue speakers don't think it all in all to speak tongues, the NON SPEAKERS are the ones that attack us to make us wrong, foolish, controlled by the devil, ect, so we come back to defend it. Speaking in tongues is the least of the gifts, but we spend most of our time defending it. If someone makes fun of healing, we will defend it, or prophesy, or word of knowledge, ect. We look at Christians that do this and wonder why they call themselves Christian if they haven't had a supernatural experience. We tongue speakers look at these as carnal Christians as in 1 Cor 3. Paul was always speaking to them as babies in Christ because they were always carnal and he was trying to get them into the spirit realm. If you don't have supernatural experiences in the church you attend, maybe you should look around a bit. We serve a supernatural God.
This is sadly mostly true and funny even if you’re not a cessationist. 🤷🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🙏🏻 the benefit of tongues for me in the past was clearer focus in prayer time and getting outside of my present circumstances into a spiritual frame-of-mind; and it can be very effective for that when used personally (not for corporate interpretation). Because so much shade has been thrown on it over the last decade, however, I find myself going that route less and less... and... miraculously, the Lord still speaks to my heart and directs my steps. So maybe we make too much (on both sides) of this issue. The attitude of superiority found in circles that heavily emphasize tongues (especially for salvation, which is crazy-talk), is unfortunately accurate commentary. May all the non-cessationists find grace to hear. ❤️
What about the tongues of flame and the sound of a mighty rushing wind? Shouldn't a tongue of flame appear on one's head when one is baptized in the Hoy Spirit?
If we are to take C3PO’s cessationist viewpoint literally, then I have to ask, “If all “tongues” were human languages, then why does Paul say: “For the one who speaks in a tongue does not speak to people, but to God; for no one understands, but in his spirit he speaks mysteries.” 1 Corinthians 14:2 Having said that, Yeah, Darrel has a demon...
and thats why we got prayer tongues between us and God in our private prayer time. and well actual language tongues for either sharing the gospel to someome who is of diffrent speaking and or for just some spirit filled messege that will be translated in church. and also if a person has the translation and dosnt speak it out that is on them not the tongue speaker
you guys have got to do one on slain in the spirit. LOL. now I believe tongues are for today but most of what we see and of what I've seen isn't biblical. but we can have our disagreements on if it's for today But slain in the spirit is something that never was in the Bible! It wasn't for then, its not for now! I've got funny stories to share especially of slain in the spirit that would sound like satire to prove the insanity of such a doctrine! lol. anyway, great video!
While there may indeed be people who just pretend to speak in tongues, I don't see how the creator of this video can talk about the possibility of speaking in tongues that way after reading 1 Corinthians 14:1-25. Honestly, I wouldn't lean on these videos for biblical truth after seeing how the LutheranSatire handled this topic.
In description he points out he meant Chapter 13. Not sure if that changes your opinion. This video maker is pretty spot on. However, if you are convinced that because Pent.. churches exist, then God must approve of their use of speaking in tongues. Then.... I can't help you. Plus, with all of these videos there is a balance of humor with Theological discussion. It's not always an easy thing to balance, and these videos should not be taken as 'divinely inspired' Peace
Where in The Holy Bible does it say the gift of prophecy, or of tongues, or of interpretation of tongues, or of healing, or of anything I may have missed, has ceased?
Where in this video did it claim they have ceased? From what I understood, it was merely making a (factual) point that most people who claim to be speaking in tongues are either speaking gibberish or possibly demon possessed. The one time I "spoke in tongues", I found out later that what I said was actually Arabic for "god of sinful sin"; tell me where you think that came from...
Actually in the book of Acts Everyone that heard Peter speak heard him in their own native languages. Meaning that Peter didn’t necessarily speak in multiple different languages all at once but that everyone who heard him speak were supernaturally able to hear it in their own languages by God.
One of the guys at the men's ministry I'm a part of at church (RC) was talking about this last video last week and I wanted to check it out for myself lol I died laughing.

Unlikely. As much as I love this guy's work, he does seem to be intent on believing his particular bent to Christianity is the only "true" one, so he seems to have issues as much with the Catholic church as with Pentecostalism.
Exorcisms are unnecessarily lengthy and mostly unbiblical, the ones that do work invariably have a faithful person who's fasted and prayed and at some point through all the mumbo jumbo commands the demon out in the name of Jesus Christ (Which IS Biblical). Demons are subject to the Holy Spirit filled believer, and many come out immediately, though, as Jesus taught, some kinds only come out by prayer AND fasting. Ironically(considering the video), Pentecostals/Apostolics are one of the few movements that have long taken spiritual warfare and deliverance ministries seriously.
j. D. There's nothing wrong thinking your position is the true one. Without such an attitude there will never be any advance in knowledge. What is wrong is thinking others are damned for disagreeing. And I haven't heard this channel say that.
J.D., he is a Lutheran minister, so having issues with Roman Catholicism would make sense, but he has been fair in his treatment of Catholicism given his bias.
Hard to establish that when its said the Holy Spirit intercedes in groanings too deep for words through us. Its also said that anyone who has said Jesus is Lord won't soon be saying anything against Him in another tongue or any speech. But cheers to being divisive or whatever man
The Pharisees accused Jesus of casting out devils with the power of satan, when in reality he was casting out devils by the power of the Holy Spirit. Jesus told the Pharisees... All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men. - Matthew 12:31 If these people are speaking in tongues through the unction of the Holy Spirit, and you are making fun of them... You are not making fun of the people, but their underlying power, the Holy Spirit. In which, you do so at your own souls expense.

At least this church asked for someone who had the gift to interpret tongues. Most places don’t do that. When I read where Paul said we need a translator when speaking in tongues, only three at a time, etc, I was floored and did a lot of thinking about things.
Actually Paul said they need someone with the gift of interpretation of tongues, not translation of tongues, but I get your point and it is very valid.
Hello, professional translator here. Translation is written words, interpretation is spoken, apart from that it's the same thing. But yes, given that, he does mean interpretation.
Absolutely! Most charismatic churches seem to overlook those verses. I went to a church years ago where messages were given in tongues on a couple of occasions, and the service did not progress until someone had given an interpretation, which they did. But then I went to a church a couple of years ago where someone gave a message in tongues - no one gave an interpretation so after a few minutes, they just carried on as if nothing had happened. I didn't go to that church again...

One of the things I've never understood is why "speaking in tongues" means "gibberish". I've always felt that it meant "speaking other languages", and I feel the biblical evidences back that up.
In the New Testament, when speaking in tongues is mentioned, at least one person is present, who is not the speaker, who can understand what is said, because it is their native language, and if required, translate.
It is extremely rare for contemporary speaking in tongues to be the native language of somebody present. Somewhat more common, but still fairly rare, is for it to be a second language that somebody in the audience knows. In my experience, when this is the case, the message curses both God and Heaven.
In the overwhelming majority of instances, there are neither L1 nor L2 users of the language that is being spoken. Furthermore, there are no consistencies in apparent syntax, or vocabulary.
That is why so much contemporary speaking in tongues is viewed as pure gibberish.
Modern so-called tongues are gibberish because they are not languages.
The Bible is still the authorative word of God. Study it for your self. But be careful of how others interpret it. Some pick and choose different scriptures to back up what they say without giving you the full context of the word. Most of time this comes from weekend Bible warriors who claim to be strong believers in God yet carry on as the world does on the week days. And the only time they read the word is in church with the pastor during service. We are told to work out our own salvation, by reading his whole word and going to God in prayer.
The gift of tongues is still given to those God gives, His word never changes, God never changes, his people try to change him every day. And that's all churches.
@David Vogeley Have you read it?
If there's something you don't understand or need to discuss, I'm sure there's someone who can have an actual civil conversation about it. Perhaps YT comments aren't the best place to find that, though. Don't go to Reddit, either.
Actually, the speaking in tongues doesn't mean speaking multiple languages but multiple people speaking in one language.It is what the apostle Paul called the " unknown tongue" and " the language of angels".In Acts ch.2 the believers at Pentecost were all speaking in this language and God allowed the people in the crowd to " Hear" what they said in their own languages.Speaking in this language happens as a result of the overflowing Spirit baptism.The reason most christians don' t speak in this language is because when they pray for the Lord to fill them with the Holy Spirit, and He does, they refuse to yield their tongue to the Spirit so He can bear witness, through their tongue, that they are " born of the Spirit" ( John ch.3).Thus they are not only not Spirit baptized but not " born of the Spirit".

Well isn't it quite possible these people have copmletely misinterprted speaking in tongues? It seems to me it the scripture simply means 'speaking foreign language'.. but not made up ones.
1 Corinthians 13:1 If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal.
sorcha blake Paul also said it was better to not be married. Are you sure he wasn't just being figurative, since he didn't explain "tongues of angels" and the first Pentecostals purportedly spoke in human languages?
I’ve never heard anyone speaking in tongues that sounded like an actual language.
@David Hawley - Hello. I have. Once in a Calvary Chapel branch in Southern California, mid to late 80's. A woman stood up in the row behind us (folding metal chairs in the rented cafeteria of a school) and started going at it - blah, blah, blah,,,, she was talking in espagnol. I had lived in So. California for 20+ years by then and I know Spanish when I hear it. I mentioned it later to the pastor. I said: "She was talking in Spanish, but the Bible says "Tongues" is an unknown language. Spanish is VERY known language'. He says: "Well, she was being moved by the Holy Spirit, and we do not want to hinder God's moving". Barf!
I hate it when people blame stupid, and goofy things on God. We left that place about a month later. I had been the kindergarten & 5th Grade Lord's Day school teacher there, but when the Pastor goes along with "showboats" and false stuff, it is time to find a different church/chapel.

LOL, 😁 so true! I've been there. I'm an Orthodox Christian. For my artistic expression summer class, I went to a United Pentecostal (Oneness Pentecostal) church to study and describe a religious experience different from my own.I would never forget that the pastor would speak words like "Nolebelelelelebe!" and "Kileobemeshekebebebe!" I could imagine that even 3CPO would say those words are pure jibber-jabberish. I have autism BTW. So I used to make up strange weird words about places and people in my imaginary world when I was a kid, like "Enleecoleek!" and "Leedeedeep". So when the UPC congregation spoke in tongues, to me, they didn't sound much different from my autistic language.
At one point during that service, the pastor got everybody, including me, to hold hands and make some strange gibberish words. I was holding hands with one parishner and another, a women in a long skirt making weird gibberish noises as the pastor screamed "Louder!!!! Louder!!! Praise the Lord!!! In the name of Jesus!!! In the name of Jesus!!!! (They constantly say 'In the name of Jesus', because they believe that God is NOT 3 different persons) Webuekeluekelealakalkaakaklalalklaka!" I kinda seriously thought I was going to lift off the floor and fly with the congregation, like Peter Pan! 😄
While it is true that miracles and spiritual gifts have NOT died away and are still given to certain believers today, it is not given in ways that the Pentecostals believe. For example, priests have the gifts of the Holy Spirit to administer sacraments like Baptism, particularly in an Orthodox Church. Compared to the Orthodox, I think Pentecostals and Charismatic Protestants interpret the gifts and use it like little kids, which is what the Church in Corinthians did.

I'm thankful I found this video, about speaking in Tongues, I'm Pentecostal, but sorry to say I think a lot of people are frauds at church, and I take no pleasure in saying that. And God is going to separate everyone, the wheat from the chaff. But reading what Jesus said and the way he lived, it's really hard to justify the way some Pastors live, you'd have to do some mental gymnastics with the Word and logic to condone it. I have always been skeptical about speaking in Tongues, I think it does happen, but when it does, very few people will be there to witness it at all.
Same. A lot of it is just fake and phony.
That was amazing. Although I must say, C-3PO sounded more like the core from Halo

I loved the humor here. I have a pentecostal friend who speaks in tongues. We have had some interesting discussions about Corinthians and spiritual gifts.
I'm a Presbyterian we don't have tongues we committees on the consideration of the motion to place the motion to reconsider the creation of a committee on tongues. :D
In all seriousness I don't like to look down on other people's expression of faith, though I do admit a great deal of the tongue speaking seems to be people making a spectacle of themselves rather than any true expression of faith. I'd far prefer to sit silently in the pew and say the publican's prayer "Lord have mercy on me: a sinner."
I had a friend that said he could speak in tongues, something he was being trained to do (but isn't it a gift, not a skill to learn?). I said, "Oh, really?" To which he replied in gibberish and then asked if I knew what he said. Of course I didn't. His reasoning for my ignorance: I need to be baptized in the spirit "again" at his church.
So much wrong there...
Growing up in the Pentecostal theology, I think you might misunderstand their conception of what tongues is. Pentecostals generally believe there is a "tongues" that is private prayer language, and then there are tongues for public exhortation, which require interpretation. Pentecostal denominations like the Assemblies of God are generally fairly strict about the use of tongues publicly, because they know it can descent into chaos without proper interpretation. The speaker isn't always the interpreter, although I've seen it be the case. My parents have also said they've witnessed it where they heard real human languages they understood. I don't see why God couldn't do that in order to increase the faith of people, even if Pentecostalism is by and large wrong ;).
It also looks though that your friend misunderstands the gift of tongues as well. It's not supposed to be something you can just do on command and make up words. You're supposed to be receiving an outpouring of the Holy Spirit.
Anyway....I'm in the process of converting to Catholicism, so there's that, too LOL.
Might I suggest you consider historic Catholicism (i.e., confessional Lutheranism :-)?
Or just...you know...Catholicism. ;)
which corresponds to the thesis in Acts 1:8, that the gospel will be advanced in Judea (Acts 2), Samaria (tongues are implicit in Acts 8), and the ends of the earth (Acts 10, 19). The tongues are never repeated in Jerusalem, Samaria, or after the incident in Acts 19 (which is a transition between the old and new covenant [John vs. Jesus]). if you understand the bigger picture of the redemptive-historical aspect and purpose of Acts, then you will realize these instances are descriptive (and unique to each region), not prescriptive (and repeatable) events. these events indicate that Jesus' promise in 1:8 is coming true (in response to their question in 1:6). since the Spirit has been poured out on Jews, Samaritans, and Gentiles (thus fulfilling Joel's prophecy in 2:28), and since we have in Scripture the verification of God's approval of their conversions by speaking in other languages, tongues are no longer needed to verify that God now pours out His Spirit on all who call upon the name of the Lord Jesus. Sola Scriptura!
Ryan Case Then why would Paul describe tongues as a gift of the spirit on the same level as say teaching and leadership in Romans 12:6-8?
I understand your argument and respect it, but at the same time I really think that you have to ignore a ton of scripture to come to that conclusion.

I think it might have been a bit much for them to kick her out after that. At least they could have checked her for a demon first.
Also why it's important to have an interpreter. You never know when crazy stuff like this is happening.
Not me but I read a story about a man who had a Japanese friend who attended a charismatic church, and the "preacher" began "speaking in tongues" and the Japanese man said he was speaking blasphemy against God and confronted this so called "pastor" and the "pastor" denied it, of course, but the Japanese man quit going to that "church"

What I find sadly ironic is church bodies will still endlessly debate whether or not speaking in tongues is "still a thing", even though it only gets referenced in a handful of verses in the Bible, but then give scant attention to the stuff Jesus himself, the Prophets, and the New Testament writers talk about 90% of the time: Saved by Grace thru Faith, forgiveness, repentance, mercy, compassion, kindness, gentleness, etc.
.
We get all focused on this one speck of debatable doctrine and ignore the massive tree trunk, "love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, mind and strength and love your neighbor as yourself...all the Law and Prophets hang on these" I recall God said something important about specks and logs too.... *shrugs

I'm not a Pentecostal, but I've never been comfortable with dismissing the possibility of a "prayer language." 1 Cor. 14:2 does say pretty plainly, "For he who speaks in a tongue does not speak to men but to God. For no one understands him; however, in the spirit he speaks mysteries." That doesn't sound anything at all like the miracle in Acts 2, where literally everyone who was present understood what was being said. I may be missing something obvious here, so... thoughts?
Exactly. I hate how people willingly overlook that and jump straight to straw-men arguments.
You realize Paul is being sarcastic pointing out that it helps nobody so it's of little or no avail because he speaks Mysteries LoL 😂 😂😂😂😂😂. EXACTLY NOBODY UNDERSTANDS And THAT IS THE FREAKING ISSUE
Keep reading. Paul goes on to explain that speaking in tongues isn't helpful to anyone but maybe the person speaking. When Paul uses the word mystery in this passage, he isn't using the word to mean "True Fact that God revealed that we don't quite understand". He's using the normal definition of "Nobody knows what that dude over there is babbling about".
I'm late to comment...
I think this is a profound observation. People that use Acts 2 as a template ignore that it is just one example of tongues, while here we see another example.
2 people in this comment seems to think this second example is condemned later, but Paul says he uses this unknown tongue more than anyone, but in the church he does not use unknown tongues.
I don't think the tonguecritics have a case here. We are to seek the gifts, including tongues, and this video is an example of disobedient christians mocking those who obey the Word. Sad.

'"For if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prays, but my mind is unfruitful. What then shall I do? I will pray with my spirit, but I will also pray with my mind."

How do you explain the "fruitless" mind when Paul is "praying in a tongue"?
He doesn't understand what he is saying, it's his spirit praying.

That does not answer the question about Paul himself speaking in tongues - without the mind being fruitful.
randomclip paul was a highly educated Roman man, he no doubt spoke multiple languages, but it would make no sense for him to speak a language to people they did not understand, just as it does not today.
+J N still does not answer why his mind was unfruitful.
Not really sure what the answer you are looking for is; but perhaps Romans 8:26-27 can shed some light.
The spirit Paul speaks of here is the Holy Spirit who lives within believers and in our times of fleshly weakness and confusion the spirit will pray for us. How amazing is that?
Great, but I'm not criticizing that.

A language on the edge of the known galaxy from a non space faring species to meet anybody by in turn no space faring race knows of them. Meaning somebody not only found their planet but spend enough time with them to translate their language then got back to civilized space and added their language as one among five million ninety hundred and ninety nine thousand nine hundred and ninety nine other languages in a protocol droid's programing.
Yeap that linguist who studied Ewok must have been truly dedicated!
In some ways, this video reminds me of the secular media, in that it only gives a biased report in a simple way regarding a complex issue, that is, the view regarding the appropriateness of the operation of the spiritual gifts described in Pau's letter to Corinth. Since I have had some experience with these, I felt the Lord giving me the go ahead to weigh in on it, so here goes.
Firstly, I would like to address the issue of whether the "graces" (original word for gifts) are what Paul considered the normal experience for the churches he established. 1 Cor 1:4-7 seems to indicate this to be the case, vs 7 reads "Therefore you do not lack any spiritual gift as you eagerly wait for our Lord Jesus Christ to be revealed." His later instructions are an elaboration on this topic. There is a reference in Eph 6:18 where Paul says "And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and supplications;" this can be viewed 2 ways, in English- either he means allowing the leading of the Spirit while making the prayers and supplications, or he means these 2 kinds of praying to be separate types. It is my opinion that he means the latter, and he is stating the same idea expressed in 1 Cor 14:13-17, vs 15 reads "So what shall I do? I will pray with my spirit, but I will also pray with my mind." In the context of this passage, it is more clear he is speaking of 2 different modes of prayer. This would seem to show that the operation of these gifts was not limited to Corinth, and implies, though not strongly, that Paul considered these a regular part of the result of people believing the gospel message. Acts 10 implies the same idea- vs 10:44-46 "While Peter was still speaking these words, the Holy Spirit came on all who heard the message.The circumcised believers who had come with Peter were astonished that the gift of the Holy Spirit had been poured out even on the Gentiles. For they heard them speaking in tongues and praising God." Luke, the author of Acts, include this account for a reason- he portrays Peter as the first to actually reach out to the Gentiles, even though Paul later features as the prominent messenger to them; however, at this point Peter is considered the chief apostle. Even so, he has to render an account to the other apostles for his actions in disregarding Jewish custom based on Mosaic covenant law. After he relates his story, vs 11:18 of Acts says "When they heard this, they had no further objections and praised God, saying 'So then, God has even granted the Gentiles repentance unto life.' There was clear consensus that this was God's work.
Second I would like to address the notion of cessationism, which is the view that the gifts described in Corinthians were a temporary activity limited to the time of the early church period. I am obviously not a cessationist, as I said I have experienced the gifts myself. But I understand, to some extent, why someone would be. Before my introduction to Full Gospel Christianity, I had never heard of "tongues" let alone any of the other gifts. Anything "supernatural" in my world had been connected to occult and magic practices, not part of church. My conversion to born again faith was the direct result of hearing an evangelical Full Gospel preacher, so after my conversion experience I started attending there, much to the dismay of my family, who no doubt thought I had gone from bad to worse, since up to that point I had been into partying with my friends! After a year I went off to a Bible College with Pentecostal roots, and graduated. I saw both good and poor aspects of this brand of Christianity, and quickly learned that every denomination has its strengths and weaknesses. In my opinion, those who are resistant to the idea of the supernatural in the church fail to recognize the truth of scripture- the faith of Christ is basically a supernatural ongoing truth. If you remove the supernatural components from the New Testament, you end up with gospel devoid of the power of God, just like Paul warned about in 2 Tim3:5. Is it any wonder that in the light of modern science, materialism, etc that people are loathe to see ritualistic, powerless religion as anything but archaic, irrelevant, and of no value? Much like ancient Rome, there is prosperity, no shortage of options regarding way of life, philosophies abound, as do religions of every stripe. To most, Christianity is just one among many, it offers nothing significantly different. Christianity in the ancient world turned it upside down. The power of the resurrected Jesus was evident, as Paul says in 1 Cor 2:4-5. True Christianity is not just another philosophy, it is about faith being based on the power of God to transform and heal.
My third point is: all this emphasis on "tongues" is actually not biblical. When the Holy Spirit fell as recorded in Acts 4 there is just as much emphasis on speaking the word of God boldly. When Peter preached to the Gentiles in Acts 10, they were speaking in tongues AND PRAISING GOD. This doctrine that speaking in tongues is the "sign" of the gift of the spirit is all wrong. The way I see it, scripture tells us the true sign of the Holy Spirit is a fervent desire and boldness to spread the gospel message. Paul himself describes tongues as the least of the gifts- if that is so, why don't the churches promoting these gifts relegate them to proper status, and start doing what Paul said in 1 Cor 14:12, and seek to excel in the gifts that build up the church? When Christians from churches not involved with these practices observe those who are involved disregarding Paul's instruction on their proper function and use, is it any wonder that they have a problem with them? If the churches practicing these gifts exercised them according to the model Paul left, and did things "decently and in order" they could be seen as at least credible- but if they literally ignore Paul's directives in how to conduct themselves, they have only themselves to blame when they are dismissed as "those Charismaniacs."
My final point is something I feel is from the Lord, being very serious now. Paul begins his letter to Corinth wasting no time getting to his primary problem with this church- divisions! Is it any wonder that so many reject the gospel when they see Christians arguing, insulting, and condemning one another, especially over positions on doctrine that aren't even close to the core truths of scripture? This subject of gifts is particularly divisive. My impression from the Lord is this- he wants his church to experience all that he has provided for us, and the gifts are a big part of that plan. However, the enemy is working very hard to make it impossible precisely because THEY ARE SO EFFECTIVE. When one country goes to war, the smart tactic is to take out the most effective weapon your enemy has, it is no different in the battle of light vs. darkness.
So that's my opinion, not so short is it? Everything we humans do is complicated, so finding a simple answer is never an easy task. But here I'm going to go ahead and quote a bumper sticker- "JESUS IS THE ANSWER." God bless.
Was hoping they'd just be saying weird stuff this whole time, and having weird translations. "My neck hair brings all the boys to the yard."
“... And, which we will establish in a future video, no-one is doing." -2 years ago..
"You sure that wasn't Russian or something?" "No."
As someone who was influenced by the charismatic doctrine at my first experience with the true gospel. . . It took me almost 20 years of Bible study to discover that " tongues in today's times" was a false teaching . . . I discovered that there was a lot wrong with the charismatic / pentecostal teachings. . . I thank God that there were experiences I went through that got me back on the right path with Him. . . .
Didn't the apostles also understand each other when they spoke in different languages?
I love Donall and Connal so much that I wish I was Lutheran instead of Baptist. I also wish that the JWs that came to my house on Saturday spoke English so that I could ask them about the "true name of GOD" from a prior video. Keep on rolling, @LutheranSatire!
Wait...1 Co 14:2 says "For one who speaks in a tongue does not speak to men but to God; for no one understands, but in his spirit he speaks mysteries". So doesn't that break the premise of this video?
From what I understand this chapter talks more about order in the church. As in: praying in tongues is uninteligible and personal so it shoudn't be done during the service, but if you do there must be someone who translates.
Keep reading.
Read at-least verses 1-25 in 1 Cor 14. You are missing a LOAD of context.
OK I read it before but just to be safe I just read it again. Did you guys read the second half of my comment?
The Bible seems very clear that there is such a thing as uninteligeble prayer and that we SHOULD do it, just not during community service.
Look here:
"For if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prays, but my mind is unfruitful. What is the outcome then? I will pray with the spirit and I will pray with the mind also; I will sing with the spirit and I will sing with the mind also."
1 Coríntios 14:14,15
Lucas - Very good points, thank you for making them. Not sure about the "SHOULD" do part, I think Paul makes it very clear in chapters 12 - 14 that God gives different gifts to each and we should not think that our particular gifts are better or worse, more or less necessary. I think that is the main issue when it comes to tongues. People see one area of Christendom acting like tongues are All That and don't understand it, so they criticize and claim it must be all bunk, while the ones that support tongues often act like it is the be all and end all of Christianity, take to extremes often, and look down their noses at those that don't have that gifting. The truth, like most (though not all) things in the denominational divides, lies more likely somewhere in between. As Luther himself posited: most things that seem like contradictions in the Bible - faith vs. works, predestination vs. free-will, liberty vs. legalism - are more likely God's way of keeping a human race that tends to like to put things in nice neat little boxes, from going too far one extreme or the other. We just aren't comfortable with things that don't have a clear, easy explanation.
This is a very good comment. Just to clarify one thing, The tongue speakers don't think it all in all to speak tongues, the NON SPEAKERS are the ones that attack us to make us wrong, foolish, controlled by the devil, ect, so we come back to defend it. Speaking in tongues is the least of the gifts, but we spend most of our time defending it. If someone makes fun of healing, we will defend it, or prophesy, or word of knowledge, ect. We look at Christians that do this and wonder why they call themselves Christian if they haven't had a supernatural experience. We tongue speakers look at these as carnal Christians as in 1 Cor 3. Paul was always speaking to them as babies in Christ because they were always carnal and he was trying to get them into the spirit realm. If you don't have supernatural experiences in the church you attend, maybe you should look around a bit. We serve a supernatural God.
I wish I could share this on FB, but it would upset my family.
This is sadly mostly true and funny even if you’re not a cessationist. 🤷🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🙏🏻 the benefit of tongues for me in the past was clearer focus in prayer time and getting outside of my present circumstances into a spiritual frame-of-mind; and it can be very effective for that when used personally (not for corporate interpretation).
Because so much shade has been thrown on it over the last decade, however, I find myself going that route less and less... and... miraculously, the Lord still speaks to my heart and directs my steps. So maybe we make too much (on both sides) of this issue. The attitude of superiority found in circles that heavily emphasize tongues (especially for salvation, which is crazy-talk), is unfortunately accurate commentary. May all the non-cessationists find grace to hear. ❤️
What about the tongues of flame and the sound of a mighty rushing wind? Shouldn't a tongue of flame appear on one's head when one is baptized in the Hoy Spirit?
Almost fell out of my chair at the " I think you have a demon"
I just ran across this channel. For the amount of time it has existed, I am surprised it does not have more subscribers.
If we are to take C3PO’s cessationist viewpoint literally, then I have to ask, “If all “tongues” were human languages, then why does Paul say:
“For the one who speaks in a tongue does not speak to people, but to God; for no one understands, but in his spirit he speaks mysteries.” 1 Corinthians 14:2
Having said that, Yeah, Darrel has a demon...
and thats why we got prayer tongues between us and God in our private prayer time. and well actual language tongues for either sharing the gospel to someome who is of diffrent speaking and or for just some spirit filled messege that will be translated in church. and also if a person has the translation and dosnt speak it out that is on them not the tongue speaker
You guys are beyond brilliant. Sincerely- a baptist brother.
Your doctrine here is sound regarding speaking in tongues and this is a hilarious medium to use in conveying the Truth. Well done!
The intro looks like something I would've written when I was 11
"Pretty sure you got a demon there..." pretty much sums up most speaking in tongues sessions that I've seen.
Shine on, you crazy diamonds! I love your videos. Make more! Do it now! :-D
I love how I got an ad with this video titled "how to drive out demons".
OH MY GOSH A NEW LUTHERANSATIRE
Ok, I knew exactly how this bit was going to play out, except for that "We do not have a demon" part at the end. Freaking hilarious.
That's was the funniest thing I have seen in days Keep them coming
You should have made one of them say "I shoulda boughta honda, but I boughta Kia."
you guys have got to do one on slain in the spirit. LOL. now I believe tongues are for today but most of what we see and of what I've seen isn't biblical. but we can have our disagreements on if it's for today But slain in the spirit is something that never was in the Bible! It wasn't for then, its not for now! I've got funny stories to share especially of slain in the spirit that would sound like satire to prove the insanity of such a doctrine! lol. anyway, great video!
Lol
Please brother share...!
I’m just now seeing this. The end makes me feel seen.
While there may indeed be people who just pretend to speak in tongues, I don't see how the creator of this video can talk about the possibility of speaking in tongues that way after reading 1 Corinthians 14:1-25.
Honestly, I wouldn't lean on these videos for biblical truth after seeing how the LutheranSatire handled this topic.
In description he points out he meant Chapter 13. Not sure if that changes your opinion.
This video maker is pretty spot on. However, if you are convinced that because Pent.. churches exist, then God must approve of their use of speaking in tongues. Then.... I can't help you.
Plus, with all of these videos there is a balance of humor with Theological discussion. It's not always an easy thing to balance, and these videos should not be taken as 'divinely inspired'
Peace
Where in The Holy Bible does it say the gift of prophecy, or of tongues, or of interpretation of tongues, or of healing, or of anything I may have missed, has ceased?
1 Corinthians 13:8
@@mjazzguitar this verse does not say they have ceased, it says they will. Which, of course, is true. Everything we know will cease at some point.
Where in this video did it claim they have ceased?
From what I understood, it was merely making a (factual) point that most people who claim to be speaking in tongues are either speaking gibberish or possibly demon possessed.
The one time I "spoke in tongues", I found out later that what I said was actually Arabic for "god of sinful sin"; tell me where you think that came from...
That was hilarious and I shall pass this on. I have a niece who thinks she can speak in tongues, lol.
Actually in the book of Acts Everyone that heard Peter speak heard him in their own native languages. Meaning that Peter didn’t necessarily speak in multiple different languages all at once but that everyone who heard him speak were supernaturally able to hear it in their own languages by God.
Oneness pentecostals, holiness churches, and similar "denominations" are not real pentecostals! Stick to the Word!
Excellent! 💥💯 May the Lord God bless you in all ways. ☝🏻🙏🏻
One of the guys at the men's ministry I'm a part of at church (RC) was talking about this last video last week and I wanted to check it out for myself lol I died laughing. Padre said it was a little irreverent but not completely blasphemous. I know it's all in good humour 😊 Ya gotta roast every now and then.
"Yeah, I'm pretty sure you have a demon there, Daryl." Pr Fiene, you never fail to deliver.
3:02 sounds like stitch from the cartoon Stitch.
"You just Satan is my homeboy in backward Latin"
I can’t deal with how funny Lilly Bullington’s delivery is. I laugh just thinking about ‘I’m feelin’ it!’ The innocent enthusiasm adds unexpected cuteness too ;)
"Thank you for Star Wars, though, we love you!"
Hilarious video! And then that ending.... hahahaha.
Retrofitting the pulldown screen to cover half the window is perfect.
And thus the next episode continues with C-3PO calling a Catholic priest to exorcise Daryl.
Unlikely. As much as I love this guy's work, he does seem to be intent on believing his particular bent to Christianity is the only "true" one, so he seems to have issues as much with the Catholic church as with Pentecostalism.
Everyone makes fun of the Catholics until they need a demon exorcised....
Exorcisms are unnecessarily lengthy and mostly unbiblical, the ones that do work invariably have a faithful person who's fasted and prayed and at some point through all the mumbo jumbo commands the demon out in the name of Jesus Christ (Which IS Biblical). Demons are subject to the Holy Spirit filled believer, and many come out immediately, though, as Jesus taught, some kinds only come out by prayer AND fasting. Ironically(considering the video), Pentecostals/Apostolics are one of the few movements that have long taken spiritual warfare and deliverance ministries seriously.
Colossians2v8 wrong.
j. D. There's nothing wrong thinking your position is the true one. Without such an attitude there will never be any advance in knowledge.
What is wrong is thinking others are damned for disagreeing. And I haven't heard this channel say that.
J.D., he is a Lutheran minister, so having issues with Roman Catholicism would make sense, but he has been fair in his treatment of Catholicism given his bias.
Don't mess with the Holy Ghost.
Lmfao
Did that future video mentioned by C3PO ever get made? 😅
esse sim é o verdadeiro C-3PO todo dourado.
Hard to establish that when its said the Holy Spirit intercedes in groanings too deep for words through us. Its also said that anyone who has said Jesus is Lord won't soon be saying anything against Him in another tongue or any speech. But cheers to being divisive or whatever man
The Pharisees accused Jesus of casting out devils with the power of satan, when in reality he was casting out devils by the power of the Holy Spirit. Jesus told the Pharisees...
All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men. - Matthew 12:31
If these people are speaking in tongues through the unction of the Holy Spirit, and you are making fun of them... You are not making fun of the people, but their underlying power, the Holy Spirit. In which, you do so at your own souls expense.
I have used phrase "Unexpected case of Lutheranism" and "Terminal case of Lutherism" for my midlife crises that drug me from Merican Evanjellism to doctrine/practice of confessional Lutheran Christianity
