Best answer EVER!! God bless this ministry for it's convictions on the sincere truth of the Word of God!!! Sharing to my ex-church to help maybe one day them to repent of their abuse of scripture and blatant disregard for Truth
Thank you for always doing such thorough research keeping everything in context. I’ve been reading some of the comments on here and it is very clear and very sad that so many Christians have taken all of this out of context, and don’t understand the true purpose of these gifts. None of the gifts are to serve the self. They are all to serve The church as a whole. I think you did a wonderful job and I commend you. God bless you and your ministry!
Hey, just a quick note, I understand it best if i read it in a different way, read it over again and use the words "in other languages" instead of "tongues" it opened my understanding a lot. GOD BLESSES.
When I was baptized with the holy spirit I began to speak in tongues that's all there is to it, God gave me that gift for intercessory prayer, This happened when I started to go to church, When I do pray and intercede for people there is a change in their lives they repent and accept Jesus Christ as their lord and savior, Amen !
@SheepAmongGoats protestants gonna protestant. You can send them some documents to read or a video to watch about the policies of a religion and they'll just aimlessly throw it in a trashcan and say, "you know what? My emotions are telling me to do this random thing"

You've left out other scriptures by Paul 💀.. Paul said "i speak in tongues more than anyone". Paul also said "when we speak in tongues no one understands us, as we speak mysteries"... Please include these to your video
Part of the confusion concerning tongues has to do with the occasions when persons received the Holy Spirit and the onlookers realised that persons had received the Holy Spirit (cf. The Apostles in Samaria Acts 8:14-17; Peter when visiting Cornelius Acts 10:44-46; Paul in Ephesus Acts 19:4-7). Many people assume that when persons received the Holy Spirit that these persons spoke in tongues as a evidence. We understand however from 1 Corinthians 12:7-10 there is the ninefold gifting of the Holy Spirit and unless the scripture specifically mentioned that the person receiving the Holy Spirit spoke in tongues, the manifestation could have been any one of the nine gifts. Furthermore, since the nine gifts of the Holy Spirit include both speaking in tongues as well as the interpretation of tongues, this clearly shows that tongues are relevant for today's Christians. Interestingly, in 1 Corinthians 14:18, Paul said he thanked God that he spoke with tongues more than everyone else and then in verse 19 stated that in the church (i.e. amongst Christians the Greek word is ekklesia) he would rather speak five words with his understanding to teach others than ten thousand words in a tongue. This clearly shows that tongues are relevant for today, however moreso for private use UNLESS there is an interpretation in which case they can be used publicly. This is confirmed by: 1 Corinthians 14:2 NKJV - 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. and 1 Corinthians 14:4a NKJV - He who speaks in a tongue edifies himself. Based on the scriptures it seems that there are four types of tongues. 1. Tongues of another language for public use - Acts 2:4; 1 Corinthians 13:1. 2. Tongues of another language for public use - which must be interpreted - 1 Corinthians 14:27 & 28. 3. Tongues for private use for personal edification - 1 Corinthians 14:2, 4a, 5a, 14 & 15. 4. Tongues of angels - 1 Corinthians 13:1. Based on the scriptures, this MUST be our guide - Tongues SHOULD BE USED for the edifying of the body otherwise tongues should be used privately.
Thank you because I speak in tongues affluently in private. I speak to God in Christ Jesus in praise prayer and worship all the time. I just received the gift early Feb. this year.
Speaking in tongues is a form of communication to God. It is a prayer, and doing so speaks directly to God alone, according to 1 Corinthians 14:2, “For anyone who speaks in a tongue does not speak to people but God. Indeed, no one understands them; they utter mysteries by the Spirit.” Paul further emphasized this in his letter to the Corinthians, “For if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prays, but my mind is unfruitful” (1 Corinthians 14:14). Thus, the practice of speaking in tongues was important during Paul’s time to efficiently communicate with God through prayer.
Sounds like you need to find another fiance, who`s belief and christian practice runs parallel with your belief and practice. Whatever you ignore in the beginning will eventually bite you.
To me, the part about interpretation makes it confusing. If it were just another tongue why would you need an interpreter? It seems to me if it was a miracle where you spoke another language, the language you’d be speaking in is one the receiver would understand. So that to me seems to imply it’s a heavenly language, which is why someone would need to be gifted to be able to interpret.
In all the yrs of attending charismatic type churches, despite all the raving babble going on during worship, rarely did an "interpretation" pop up, even when it did, I tended not to believe it, and current babbling in churches is NOT scriptural, as theres rarely any interpretation, it pops up in pseudo "in crowd" groupees, not solid Bible knowledgeable christians.
Makes sense we don't have tongues now. In Acts they were introducing Christ to the crowds. If tongues existed now, it would be a dead giveaway who the true believers are and the cults wouldn't exist. God doesn't force truth, you have to want it first, and in some cases search it out.
Amen truth was spoken, sadly in our churches we have more "Gibberish" And less Tongues.. " 1 Corinthians 14:23, NIV: So if the whole church comes together and everyone speaks in tongues, and inquirers or unbelievers come in, will they not say that you are out of your mind?
I’m confused…my church says the first sign of baptism in the Holy Spirit is speaking in tongues with the Holy Spirit giving utterance and yet other believers who put their trust in the Lord says otherwise…this is just confusing. It’s like a tug of war. Then these same Christians say we are one in the Lord but we are somewhat divided. Sighh🤦🏼♀️
My church teached this too, and then I later found out it was false teaching. They act as if the Holy Spirit suddenly changed for the 21 century people and gave them a secret prayer language no one in the new testament had? Like wouldn’t they think that Jesus would mention such a thing if it was true😅Like what… I almost walked away from God thinking I wasn’t good enough because I didn’t receive this big thing everyone else seemed to have.. so glad I now know the truth. I guess this is why we always should have discernment and put Gods word over church teachings
It was needed at the time to establish the church of Christ on earth. We now have the complete revealed word of God and therefor don’t need it anymore. But people love to feel special and above others while God clearly tells us He makes no distinction between His own. Gibberish is such an offense and I repent of ever desiring it or taking part in it.
Lady…I didn’t asked to be special but after Baptism I started talking in tongues at a Wednesday prayer meeting and was taking me by surprise cause I didn’t knew I can be so fluent about it..the talk comes from the spirit outside of yourself is really hard to explain it to someone who won’t believe in it or wants to repent it.
I am sorry but it takes the empowering of being baptized in Holy Spirit to even understand and receive revelation of what speaking in tongues realy means. So sorry that many believers are missing out on the power of God and knowing Him more intimately.
Thank u for ur explanations makes total sense to me I knew it was for People to understand in their language but I have seen it in churches and wanted to know how they know
There are different types of toungues and none have ceased. Paul said 1 corinthians 14: 13 For this reason the one who speaks in a tongue should pray that they may interpret what they say. 14 For if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prays, but my mind is unfruitful. 15 So what shall I do? I will pray with my spirit, but I will also pray with my understanding; I will sing with my spirit, but I will also sing with my understanding. 16 Otherwise when you are praising God in the Spirit, how can someone else, who is now put in the position of an inquirer,[d] say “Amen” to your thanksgiving, since they do not know what you are saying? 17 You are giving thanks well enough, but no one else is edified. 18 I thank God that I speak in tongues more than all of you. We all should be praying in the spirit especially in our secret place for it edifies us.
Which was only an exception on the day of Pentecost, speaking in tongues is an unknown language to the speaker and it's for personal private prayer only, is a worship manifestation not a gift and in the body of believers it is to be interpreted, is the only time it is spoken publicly, read 1 Corinthians if you want to know what it is chapter 12 !!!
@@Matthew.._ It is translated and unknown language that's what it says that's what it means to say anything else is denying the word of God plain and simple,!!!
Clearly in `The Book of Acts` people heard what was spoken in their own Languages. If modern day tongues is not the true gift of tongues in `The Book of Acts`- then who or what are these modern day Christians praying to when they are speaking in tongues? Acts 2:6 And at this sound the multitude came together, and they were bewildered, because each one was hearing them speak in his own language. Acts 2:8 And how is it that we hear, each of us in his own native language? Acts 2:11 Both Jews and proselytes, Cretans and Arabians-we hear them telling in our own tongues the mighty works of God.
There are two options: 1. They are speaking to or being influenced by demonic forces. 2. They are in a psychological state of extasy (rush) that leads them to fabricate this gibberish. Or in other words: It comes from their own minds and has nothing to do with the Holy Spirit.
So true this is what tongues was intended for to share the good news to a man of a different region/language. 1 Corinthians 14:22 (ESV) 22 Thus tongues are a sign not for believers but for unbelievers, while prophecy is a sign not for unbelievers but for believers. Paul is saying that the purpose of speaking in tongues is to be a sign, a proof of sorts, to the unbeliever. Therefore, there is no reason for a group of believers to be speaking in tongues in this way to one another, for they already believe and do not need a miraculous sign. And if the believer's spoke a actual tongue/lingua that the unbeliever had a grasp over it would draw him to faith. But in our churches today this is not practised. In fact we doing that which is contrary to what was said by Apostle Paul.
I’m say confusion. I don’t trust modern Christians speaking in tongue. Speaking in tongue is simply speaking ok different languages. We always ask someone “what is your mother tongue” referring to their home spoken language.
I could be wrong, but I believe this verse is talking about people speaking in tongues incorrectly in the church of corinth, so the speakers are edifying themselves instead of God. They, therefore, require interpretation(verse 13) so that an unbeliever can understand what they are saying and the church can be built up
He is using hyperbolic language to stress the importance of showing love when speaking to others. The same goes for the next verse (1. corinthians 13:2). It‘s obvious that Paul isn‘t talking about someone‘s faith literally moving mountains.
I agree 100% gibberish, and babbling is not tongues, nor is it the move of God, because God is not the author of confusion, sadly many want to look holy, and not be holy, nor do leadership teach the difference,
Also talks of heavenly language. There is plenty of scripture and verse that draws a delineation between the gift of tongues for interpretation, and evidence of the baptism of the holy spirit. Jesus promised a comforter (holy spirit) and that it was promised for generations far off.
You're speaking in tongues right now. If you're speaking in a language that the Bible was not received, you're speaking in tongues. So all English translations are anathema. Hebrew ftw.
We have corrupt and horrible people claim to be believers and go to church and claim speaking in tongues yet they are hypocrites. Speaking in tongues is simply speaking in foreign languages.
First of all, your account of Acts 2:2-4 is so inaccurate. Nowhere in that text, did not say anything about the disciples speaking in tongues to the people. Rather, in verse 4, "they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues." In other words, because they were filled with the Holy Spirit, they began to speak, as a consequence of being filled with the Spirit. This was not done to the people. This was something the disciples were experiencing for themselves, then the people happened to hear them speak. Secondly, the scripture is very clear on what the gift of tongues is. Your explanation that tongues is a language that is communicated to someone who speaks a different language, is very wrong. In 1 Corinthians 14:2, it says, "For he who speaks in a tongue DOES NOT SPEAK TO MEN BUT TO GOD, FOR NO ONE UNDERTANDS HIM." In other words, tongues is not supposed to be understood by man. If I came to you and I never spoke french, and all of a sudden, I began speaking in french, that won't be much surprise to you. You would think Oh, I probably learnt that somewhere. It's no miracle when someone speaks a different language. The gift of tongues is supposed to only understood by God and not make sense to anyone, because according to the Apostle Paul in 1 Corinthians 14:2, tongues are not spoken to men, but to God. It is such a miracle that it requires the gift of interpretation of tongues for it to be meaningful to men. If I spoke a different language to someone who understands it, they will not require the gift of interpretation to understand what I'm saying. Paul also said, in verse 5, "I wish you all spoke with tongues." In other words, it is God's desire for all believers to speak with tongues. The only reason he speaks of prophesy in this text as being greater, was when a prophetic word is to be given, that should be given in a language everyone can understand. That is not the same thing as praying in tongues. In 1 Corinthians 14:14, Paul says, "If I pray in a tongue, my spirit prays, but my understanding is unfruitful". Then in verse 15 of that same chapter, he says, "I will pray with the spirit (pray in tongues) and I will also pray with my understanding." This is referred to as praying in tongues. So, No sir, the gift of tongues has not ceased. It is actively working. I speak in tongues and so many believers who work in the power of the Holy Ghost speak with tongues, just like the Apostles did. So study your bible more accurately
Speak with love in your attempt to rebuke. Acts 2:6-8 confirms that their tongues were in fact of an earthly language being understood by the people. 1 Corinthians does mention an “unknown tongue” that is only spoken to God. Meaning two truths can coexist, you can speak an unpracticed language as well as a holy language that is only understood by The Most High. It also is miraculous to speak in a tongue fluently that you’ve never studied; imagine receiving confirmation, prophecy or rebuke from a foreigner who is able to communicate and speak with you well though not knowing what they say… try not to put a limit on God’s capability of miracles, God can use anyone as His mouthpiece, this is evidence. From my understanding of tongues, if you speak the holy tongue, or a tongue that can not be interpreted, it should be kept to yourself, and not flaunted. I do agree that they haven’t ceased, it’s definitely still an active gift, but I do agree with it being a rarity. Many people like to be performative in the church, to make it appear they have this higher relationship with God than others. And if one has the true ability to speak the “unknown tongue”, then those who flash it around are being kinda disobedient, for that language isn’t so much for man in the first place due to having no interpreter. The video was quite informational and some parts, accurate.
You are very ignorant and arrogant! You should check yourself? No, not everyone should speak in tongues but we should all love and share the truth of the gospel message with this dying world as this is how God regenerates people by the hearing of the gospel of Jesus Christ and faith comes by hearing and hearing the word of God. Give some grace to this brother as you were given grace.
God does not change on neither does his word she is faithful and consistent to maintain his word, songs was not a sign of judgment for the Jews and it did not end in 87 ad with destruction by the Roman army of Israel or I should say Jerusalem and the temple !!!
You were wrong in the first line 😂... Acts doesn't say they spoke different languages, how is that possible ? They spoke in a language that made them sound drunk, yet everyone heard it in their language
Speaking in tongues can be a language of men or of angels it's intended purpose is for perfect prayer, it is not for witnessing, and if it is the language of men somebody on the planet will understand it but as I said that's not its intended purpose, and also be the language of angel which means no one on the planet will understand it, intended purposes for prayer and edification of the individual speakers, if interpreted during a believer's meeting it is then used for the edification of the body of Christ that's present at the meeting !!!

@@ifthatthenthis3797 Religion uses brainwashing to convince people that they do not matter and that facts of science are heresy. Religion in general is a primitive way of thinking that causes people to oppose any change for good. Humans developed religion as a method of trying to cover up the shocking fact that there is nothing controlling the world, which they could not comprehend… ”because there must be some purpose to life!”. In the real world, science (and not just science, but simple fact-checking of even the integrity of the words within the Bible itself, constantly in contradiction, such as the time when supposedly Elijah, or Josiah, went to Heaven even though Jesus later said no one ever had, clearly meaning he did not know everything, or lied, and therefore he was imperfect and not “God”) has provided unbelievable evidence against the possibility of anything happening under Jesus’ name in the Bible to be a “miracle,” but rather a normal scientific process, or rather, an illusion or mistelling of events. Religion is damaging, transphobic and homophobic for no reason whatsoever (and is the number one source of the nonsensical thing that is homophobia / transphobia), and teaches people that you can’t be wrong, leading to either unhealthy belief narcissism or crisis when they end up finding out otherwise.

Also talks of heavenly language. There is plenty of scripture and verse that draws a delineation between the gift of tongues for interpretation, and evidence of the baptism of the holy spirit. Jesus promised a comforter (holy spirit) and that it was promised for generations far off.
You're speaking in tongues right now. If you're speaking in a language that the Bible was not received, you're speaking in tongues.
So all English translations are anathema. Hebrew ftw.
We have corrupt and horrible people claim to be believers and go to church and claim speaking in tongues yet they are hypocrites. Speaking in tongues is simply speaking in foreign languages.
You are half right 😂
First of all, your account of Acts 2:2-4 is so inaccurate. Nowhere in that text, did not say anything about the disciples speaking in tongues to the people. Rather, in verse 4, "they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues." In other words, because they were filled with the Holy Spirit, they began to speak, as a consequence of being filled with the Spirit. This was not done to the people. This was something the disciples were experiencing for themselves, then the people happened to hear them speak. Secondly, the scripture is very clear on what the gift of tongues is. Your explanation that tongues is a language that is communicated to someone who speaks a different language, is very wrong. In 1 Corinthians 14:2, it says, "For he who speaks in a tongue DOES NOT SPEAK TO MEN BUT TO GOD, FOR NO ONE UNDERTANDS HIM." In other words, tongues is not supposed to be understood by man. If I came to you and I never spoke french, and all of a sudden, I began speaking in french, that won't be much surprise to you. You would think Oh, I probably learnt that somewhere. It's no miracle when someone speaks a different language. The gift of tongues is supposed to only understood by God and not make sense to anyone, because according to the Apostle Paul in 1 Corinthians 14:2, tongues are not spoken to men, but to God. It is such a miracle that it requires the gift of interpretation of tongues for it to be meaningful to men. If I spoke a different language to someone who understands it, they will not require the gift of interpretation to understand what I'm saying. Paul also said, in verse 5, "I wish you all spoke with tongues." In other words, it is God's desire for all believers to speak with tongues. The only reason he speaks of prophesy in this text as being greater, was when a prophetic word is to be given, that should be given in a language everyone can understand. That is not the same thing as praying in tongues. In 1 Corinthians 14:14, Paul says, "If I pray in a tongue, my spirit prays, but my understanding is unfruitful". Then in verse 15 of that same chapter, he says, "I will pray with the spirit (pray in tongues) and I will also pray with my understanding." This is referred to as praying in tongues. So, No sir, the gift of tongues has not ceased. It is actively working. I speak in tongues and so many believers who work in the power of the Holy Ghost speak with tongues, just like the Apostles did. So study your bible more accurately
I don’t trust anything I ever read from this site
Speak with love in your attempt to rebuke.
Acts 2:6-8 confirms that their tongues were in fact of an earthly language being understood by the people.
1 Corinthians does mention an “unknown tongue” that is only spoken to God. Meaning two truths can coexist, you can speak an unpracticed language as well as a holy language that is only understood by The Most High. It also is miraculous to speak in a tongue fluently that you’ve never studied; imagine receiving confirmation, prophecy or rebuke from a foreigner who is able to communicate and speak with you well though not knowing what they say… try not to put a limit on God’s capability of miracles, God can use anyone as His mouthpiece, this is evidence. From my understanding of tongues, if you speak the holy tongue, or a tongue that can not be interpreted, it should be kept to yourself, and not flaunted.
I do agree that they haven’t ceased, it’s definitely still an active gift, but I do agree with it being a rarity. Many people like to be performative in the church, to make it appear they have this higher relationship with God than others. And if one has the true ability to speak the “unknown tongue”, then those who flash it around are being kinda disobedient, for that language isn’t so much for man in the first place due to having no interpreter. The video was quite informational and some parts, accurate.
@@HJasmine10 Amen!
@@HJasmine10 You both are right.
You are very ignorant and arrogant!
You should check yourself?
No, not everyone should speak in tongues but we should all love and share the truth of the gospel message with this dying world as this is how God regenerates people by the hearing of the gospel of Jesus Christ and faith comes by hearing and hearing the word of God. Give some grace to this brother as you were given grace.
So can 2 grandmas in church talk to each other in tongues??
Yes they can if I'm Spain and your English we have to speak in "tongues" so we can understand us
@@corneliodyck2276 are you serious???
Thank you!! Today's use of "tongues" is a scam.
God does not change on neither does his word she is faithful and consistent to maintain his word, songs was not a sign of judgment for the Jews and it did not end in 87 ad with destruction by the Roman army of Israel or I should say Jerusalem and the temple !!!
Soooooo what is Speaking in Tongue ???
If your main language is English and you speak in German, your speaking in "tongues"
My friend says she speaks in tongues when praying to God or for a family member. This doesn't seem to fit with the explanation in the Bible.
advise her of 1 Cor. 14, if there b no interpreter, keep quiet....
You were wrong in the first line 😂... Acts doesn't say they spoke different languages, how is that possible ?
They spoke in a language that made them sound drunk, yet everyone heard it in their language
Speaking in tongues can be a language of men or of angels it's intended purpose is for perfect prayer, it is not for witnessing, and if it is the language of men somebody on the planet will understand it but as I said that's not its intended purpose, and also be the language of angel which means no one on the planet will understand it, intended purposes for prayer and edification of the individual speakers, if interpreted during a believer's meeting it is then used for the edification of the body of Christ that's present at the meeting !!!
A Possible Answer To Life's Biggest Question “What is the meaning of life”...
Understanding that since we are made of exploded Stars and it's Dust. We somehow have become at least one way the Universe has come to know ITSELF...
No all things were made for the glory of God you me all the stars.
The meaning of life is to give glory to the creator. Love and obey HIM
@@ifthatthenthis3797 Religion uses brainwashing to convince people that they do not matter and that facts of science are heresy. Religion in general is a primitive way of thinking that causes people to oppose any change for good. Humans developed religion as a method of trying to cover up the shocking fact that there is nothing controlling the world, which they could not comprehend… ”because there must be some purpose to life!”. In the real world, science (and not just science, but simple fact-checking of even the integrity of the words within the Bible itself, constantly in contradiction, such as the time when supposedly Elijah, or Josiah, went to Heaven even though Jesus later said no one ever had, clearly meaning he did not know everything, or lied, and therefore he was imperfect and not “God”) has provided unbelievable evidence against the possibility of anything happening under Jesus’ name in the Bible to be a “miracle,” but rather a normal scientific process, or rather, an illusion or mistelling of events. Religion is damaging, transphobic and homophobic for no reason whatsoever (and is the number one source of the nonsensical thing that is homophobia / transphobia), and teaches people that you can’t be wrong, leading to either unhealthy belief narcissism or crisis when they end up finding out otherwise. (THE TRUTH)
