He literally just said that tongue and language are the same. If you speak a language (Chinese in an American church) that no one understands then of course your only gonna be able to speak to God alone and your words would be mysterious among others
This is the most simple and accurate explanation of this topic I have ever heard. Thank you so much Doug! I made the critical mistake decades ago of trying to 'receive' the gift of tongues by repeating the word Hallelujah over and over. Eventually I did receive something and my tongue changed, but it was a demonic counterfeit. I can testify that Dougs message in this video is 100% correct. I wasted a large part of my life in charismatic churches chasing supposed apostolic gifts and healings. It is the greatest mistake I have ever made. In the end I had to renounce this experience to get away from the effects. I can only hope my testimony warns and helps others to avoid this false practice and these kinds of charismatic churches. Unfortunately, as the bible warns, there are many false/ unclean spirits in the world and there is often little or no protection for the unwary. Be careful folks.
Great testimony of the Spanish hitchhiker, am happy it turned out well. May God continue to bless you and grant you continued wisdom and knowledge to spread his love and the biblical truth.
* I PRAISE GOD ALMIGHTY FOR YOU!!! I’ve been researching, praying, and reading and asking the Spirit to show me!! Because I’ve known, by the Power of His Spirit, that Paul was speaking about something else, addressing the chaos that was going on in the church. Thank you so much for this video and ALL glory be TO YESHUA for your life!!!!!
@@0ixtoIt doesn't mean to babble in nonsense gibberish, that's for sure. It means in the power and will of the Holy Spirit according to God's purposes, just like doing anything else "in the spirit. "
This is very interesting to me I have gone to a church that say its Praying to God. Tell me what is 1 corth.14:4. I only want truth. I have been listening to your teaching's a lot lately and have been blown away. I have learned a lot. Some I didn't want to hear but am so very grateful to hear it. My understanding of God's word has changed. Thank you
You really cant understand just that one verse by itself you have to read the whole chapter to understand the context. Basically what he's telling the church is that tongues were to spread the Word to other countries and that speaking tongues in church is simply of no benefit to the church. I would encourage you to read the whole chapter.
This is so much right i used to wonder if tongues were okay but i knew something was wrong and i had to read the bible and research more and i came to a conclusion that brambling is wrong
I got the gift of tongues in 2006 I call it the night of penocost because it came over me at night after a long time in prayer it was many different one and with time with the Lord and his spirit teaching me I speak Korean and can read Korean German and and a few other. I only am able to speak it when the Lord wants me to teach about Jesus ... IAM sad to say I don't like in my old church anymore to since they like to show me off like I was a shinny new penny.. and I hated that . IAM in a new church now and I keep my mouth shut about my gift and only use it outside of church when the Lord allow me... IAM nothing special ... And it's the least of the gifts so really no big deal I just love hearing the true words of God for pastor's don't always have to check there doctrine so thank you for all your sermons and see you in the clouds
It says them that believe shall speak with " new tongues " have we ceased having believers? And isnt that a promise/command from the savior for "All" believers???
This is in line with a lot of other videos that go directly against the word of God. These videos almost never mention 1 Cor 14:2, which is a short verse but says a lot. It says with this tongue - we are NOT speaking to people - we are speaking to God - NO PERSON understands what we are saying - we speak MYSTERIES by the Holy Spirit So from this verse it is clear that this tongue is NOT a foreign language. Also 1 Cor 14:4 says, One who speaks in a tongue edifies himself. If we are speaking a foreign language we do not know, then we are NOT edifying ourself, we would be edifying the listeners who understand. Most videos against tongues conveniently skip these verses. I am so thankful for the gift of tongues. I don't think I would have overcome as much as I have without it

Funny how that one verse changes meaning DRASTICALLY when you cherry-pick it out of the LETTER it is part of, and twist and magnify it to meet YOUR desires to babble... The context of Paul's CORRECTIVE LETTER makes all the difference.

The gift of tongues that the 120 received in the upper room were han languages. They were given thwse gifts in order to spread the gospel to the world. Not to jibber jabber in a large group that only leads to confusion and discomfort making people want to flee because it is very disturbing.
In 1corinthians14:2 it says For anyone who speaks in a tongue[a] does not speak to people but to God. Indeed, no one understands them; they utter mysteries by the Spirit. 3 But the one who prophesies speaks to people for their strengthening, encouraging and comfort. 4 Anyone who speaks in a tongue edifies themselves, but the one who prophesies edifies the church. It clearly says no one understands them they utter mysteries to God. This is also one of the gift. There is a gift where you speak in different languages which is what is mentioned in Acts chapter 2.

Where is it written in the bible that God doesn't want to listen to the holyspirit speaking to him through unknown tongues, When God wants something to be intrepreted to the church, God will raise people who can edify the church. It's the groaning of the spirit, the holyspirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans.Romans 8:26. Its a divine experience you will never understand unless you experience it.
Even Paul tells that it's better to prophecy than speak in tongues, not all can prophecy. And I understand not all can interpret when a person is speaking in tongues. But it is not demonic and during worship it is okay to speak in tongues.
@@roseharini6835 If you are speaking in tongues then your right. But what most people call speaking in tongues today isnt biblical speaking in tongues. I'm sorry it's just not.
I believe if you speak in tongues by yourself your speaking directly to the Lord in spirit, because of this scripture. For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God: for no man understandeth him; howbeit in the spirit he speaketh mysteries. 1 Corinthians 14:2
Hey, nice message! I always had my doubts about that babbling in charismatic churches. Could you also talk about the issue of "being slain in the spirit" ? A phenomenal also practiced in charismatic churches?
At Bethel church in Redding CA, people like to fake that all the time. They get on stage and fall to the floor and flop around like fools. They also do all this goofy giggling over nothing and call it holy laughter.
this makes sense...I meet a lot of christians who speaks like this "babalabashababalalashahsha"...like what the heck does that mean?...is that even a language?..
Satan is the author of confusion, Tongues is present many times in False Doctrines and in Churches where Emotionalism and desiring to feel something is top of a service.
You should study this in a whole chapter approach not picking verses that suits your belief about this praying in the spirit or singing in the spirit, or speaking in tongues
@@johnmark1v17 I don’t think he is false but because someone tried to make him repeat stuff he know thinks it doesn’t exist. I speak in the baptism of the holy spirit and it changes all the time I do not force it out. When you start to pray the spirit overtakes you and you get a joy like I couldn’t explain to u. I can’t believe people are so ignorant to simply think we are making it up.
@@arrowhead9027 the example shown to us in acts 2 is so different from what we see nowadays Tongues refers to language and are a sign to show that God is not limited to language He was the one who brought different tongues at the tower of Babel Tongues are not just words you speak and claim it's the holy Spirit God is no author of confusion Read 1 cor 14 for yourself the Bible is clear on speaking in tongues Of wat essence is speaking in tongues if it cannot be interpreted Paul also made reference to tongues as languages of the world So which are you speaking? How is it of benefit ? Amen
In Acts ch.10 when the gentiles recieved the Holy Spirit and spoke in " tongues" how did the skeptical jews know that they weren't speaking in native languages that they already knew ? Because it was a distinctive spiritual language, the same one they spoke at pentecost.
Do you read the Bible at all? At Pentecost, there were 16 distinct HUMAN languages spoken by the apostles so the hearers could understand. Acts 2, 1-13, gives the EXACT details. These were NATIVE TONGUES of the hearers, NOT some mystery spiritual language. Stop twisting the Bible to justify gibberish.
@jeanclaude7018 There are a number of times that the Word will repeat something said or an event three times to: 1) Direct our attention to an important spiritual truth. 2) To set a precedent to where the same circumstance need not be repeated in as much detail elsewhere in scripture that it occurs. In Acts ch.2, after the believers recieved the Holy Spirit and began speaking in " tongues", three times the men in the crowd questioned how they were hearing the believers speaking in their native languages. Why not only once ? The reason is that the miracle for the men in the crowd was Hearing what the believers were saying in their native languages, not that the believers were speaking them.
@@robertnieten7259 I was questioning this recently, so I studied again. Is there any reason to doubt the first mention, where it says they began to SPEAK with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance? You can't just throw that out.
@jeanclaude7018 Thanks for your reply. First mention is important. In 1Corinthians, Paul only mentions two manifestations of speaking in " tongues". The first, is in private prayer for self edification. Secondly, he mentions speaking in " tongues", followed by a believer with the gift of interpretation, is for the edification of a church gathering. He calls the first, " the ( unknown) tongues that " no man knoweth"( 1Cor.14:2). Taking it literally, if no man knows this language then it isn't native to this world. He also says that this language is his spirit praying. No one is born that can speak from their spirit, but we are taught early in life to speak from our mind the words that we want to speak. As far as the gift of speaking In " tongues", requiring interpretation, why is it necessary if someone in the congregation might speak that native language ? It is necessary because speaking in " tongues" is one spiritual language. I believe that the reason that the word " tongue" is pluralized in scripture is because this spiritual language originally was the language that God confounded at the judgement at the Tower of Babel. Think about it. The Word says that God created Adam in His image and likeness. Why then give him a language that He Himself didn't speak ? Lastly, so in a sense the word " tongues", in scripture, is both singular and plural.
1 Corinthians 14:14- For if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prays, but my understanding is unfruitful. @9:10 he tries to make an attempt to explain the meaning of the verse. However, I believe that his explanation is incorrect. The reason for this is because: 1 Corinthians 14:13-14- Therefore let him who speaks in a tongue pray that he may interpret. For if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prays, but my understanding is unfruitful. From the verses above we can clearly see that the person speaking in tongues is among the persons whose mind is unfruitful together with the listeners. If that were not the case why would Paul say in verse 13 that he/she who prays in tongues should pray that he/she interpret. If you understand what you are saying you do not need to pray that you interpret, rather you would proceed to interpret. Therefore in verse 14, Paul is indeed saying that the minds of those who speak in tongues are unfruitful/ do not understand what they are saying.
@brianzvashura8504 Yes those who speak in tongues speak in known languages, but an interpreter is not always needed: Acts 2:6-11 Now when this was noised abroad, the multitude came together, and were confounded, because that every man heard them speak in his own language. 7 And they were all amazed and marvelled, saying one to another, Behold, are not all these which speak Galilaeans? 8 And how hear we every man in our own tongue, wherein we were born? 9 Parthians, and Medes, and Elamites, and the dwellers in Mesopotamia, and in Judaea, and Cappadocia, in Pontus, and Asia, 10 Phrygia, and Pamphylia, in Egypt, and in the parts of Libya about Cyrene, and strangers of Rome, Jews and proselytes, 11 Cretes and Arabians, we do hear them speak in our tongues the wonderful works of God!
Someone on this channel called me a poor TARE meaning, not wheat I am not a Seventh-day Adventist. I am a Christian I am not a Catholic. I am not a Jehovah witness or a Mormon. I am a Christian and Christians are the wheat. We are not tares every religion that came after the apostle Paul taught is called a tare and defined as a tare in the Bible
I read Corinthians chapter 14 I want you to focus on verse 14 Paul uses the word PRAY not speaking to man? He further states……..the one doing this is your spirit praying (not your carnal mind) and your carnal mind does not know what you are saying So look at verse 13 Paul is teaching that for those who speak in tongues and pray in tongues that…..that same person should pray to God for the interpretation of whatever it is that they just said. If Speaking in tongues was speaking in earthly language like German or French or whatever Then that person speaking would not be praying to God in languages like German or French, Greek etc) no (speaking in tongues) Is a gift from God and an unknown known earthly language that when spoken may have an impact on someone nearby they may hear you in their own language even though you are not speaking their language nor are you speaking your language…… you’re speaking a language that God gave you as a gift.
I tell you this day, you shall be with Me in paradise. Where should the comma go? On resurrection Sunday Scripture tells us Jesus had not yet gone to the Father. John 20:17
@@Nirky Yesss and the thief did not die that day as well. Punctuations weren't in the original text but later added. When you place the comma after the word today, the verse is in harmony with scripture.
I say unto thee today, Thou shalt be with Me in Paradise. Christ did not promise that the thief should be with Him in Paradise that day. He Himself did not go that day to Paradise. He slept in the tomb, and on the morning of the resurrection He said, “I am not yet ascended to My Father.” John 20:17. But on the day of apparent defeat the promise was given. “Today,” while dying on the cross as a malefactor, Christ assured the sinner, “You will be with Me in Paradise.” This quote is from [From Heaven With Love, p. 501.3 (Ellen Gould White)]
***Luke 23:43 And Jesus said to him, “Assuredly, I say to you, today you will be with Me in Paradise.” >>> It is "today" not "this day." >>> It means that he was with him that day in paradise. Exactly as Jesus said. Because he believed. >>> People are confused about Paradise. Paradise was not the same place as the Heaven where God the Father is. >>> Paradise was an area where the believers went to within the earth that was divided from the pit (Hades) also known as "Abraham's Bosom." >>> ***Luke 16:19 -26 19 “There was a certain rich man who was clothed in purple and fine linen and fared sumptuously every day. 20 But there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, full of sores, who was laid at his gate, 21 desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man’s table. Moreover the dogs came and licked his sores. 22 So it was that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels to Abraham’s bosom. The rich man also died and was buried. 23 And being in torments in Hades, he lifted up his eyes and saw Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. 24 “Then he cried and said, ‘Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus that he may dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame.’ 25 But Abraham said, ‘Son, remember that in your lifetime you received your good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things; but now he is comforted and you are tormented. 26 And besides all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed, so that those who want to pass from here to you cannot, nor can those from there pass to us.’
@Alvin Ochola Satan is an angel. Is he the angel tongue you're speaking about? Sure sounds like it to me. Tongues of fallen angels. Jesus spoke Hebrew, not heavenly prayer languages.
For anyone who speaks in a tongue does not speak to people but to God. Indeed, no one understands them; they utter mysteries by the Spirit. If someone does not speak to people but to God, isn't that the definition of prayer? If so, is 1 Cor 14:2 supporting the practice of praying in tongues to God in a private setting (e.g. alone in a prayer closet, etc.)?
Don't forbid speaking of tongues it is a true gift from God..read all scriptures and pray to God for the baptism of the holy spirit with evidence of speaking in tongues God bless
No one forbid speaking in tongues. Nice try though. Speaking in tongues is not the only evidence of the baptism of the Holy Spirit. You cannot choose your spiritual gifts. Only the Holy Spirit can decide which gifts you will receive.
How could we use John & Jesus as examples on this... when John the baptist was WAY before the day of pentecost... Jesus rose from the dead .... and left saying he was sending a helper... 🤔 the day of Pentecost was our gift from Jesus...
No Doug you did not receive the gift of tongues by learning Spanish during a three day ride the gift of tongues is the language of angels not of men read first Corinthians chapter 13 verse one wake up
I would like every one of you to speak in tongues, [3] but I would rather have you prophesy. He who prophesies is greater than one who speaks in tongues, [4] unless he interprets, so that the church may be edified. 1 Corinthians 14:1. There are at least 4 types of tongues. Yes, one of them is: existing lenguage = we can say for mission. But there are others=non existing lenguages. Because than why we need interpretation of them. Not translation, but interpretation! Why? Becuase the Holy Spirit prays in us, which id for people who don't have this gift need to be interpreted! With all the love of God I'm saying Mr. Bachelor is limiting this gift! The work of the Holy Spirit. I started to pray in tongues however I didn't know it is in the Bible, but the Holy Spirit felt on me one morning (hard to describe, was a powerful moment) and I started to pray in tongues and I see a huge benefit of it. Many people in my church do so. No, we are not those radical charismatics, who force people to pray in tongues. A gift can't be forced! But we see it biblical. Please, study more the Bible and diferentiate of which type of lenguage is Paul talking in the Bible to not misunderstand this gift!
Paul doesn't use the word translation because he is talking about a spoken language. Translation only applies to text. Interpretation applies to spoken language.
@@williamgunn9973 There is praying in tongues in the Bible and those tongues are not existing languages! Because Paul is writing about interpretation, not translation! Prayer in tongues is the Holy Spirit is praying in us, it is His language! My understanding is unfruitful, but my Spirit is praying in me! 1 Corinthians 14:13 "Wherefore let him that speaketh in an unknown tongue pray that he may interpret.” (KJV) 1 Corinthians 14:14 "For if I pray in an unknown tongue, my spirit prayeth, but my understanding is unfruitful.” (KJV) 1 Corinthians 14:2 “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.” (NKJV) 1 Corinthians 14:2 "For one who speaks in an [unknown] tongue speaks not to men but to God, for no one understands or catches his meaning, because in the [Holy] Spirit he utters secret truths and hidden things [not obvious to the understanding].” (AMPC)
@@gracejoylove Uh I was only addressing the meaning of translation vs interpretation. Translation is transferring written text from one language to another. Interpretation is the act of orally rendering spoken language into another language. Addressing speaking in tongues: Read the entire 1 Corinthians 14. It is contrary to what you are saying. Paul is emphasizing building up the church. In fact, that is the main theme here. Paul also points out that tongues should be used in the church in an orderly way. He mentions the importance of having an interpreter. Have you ever been able to interpret your tongues? If not it is like Paul said, unfruitful.
@@Truth-f2q ok, but an existing lenguage doesn't need interpretation! But a heavenly lenguage, what you called bubbling🥲🥲 does!🤷♀️ In Acts 2:6 it is clear from the context, that these were existing languages: "Now when this was noised abroad, the multitude came together, and were confounded, because that every man heard them speak in HIS OWN language." BUT(!) 1 Cor 14 says: For anyone who speaks in a tongue DOES NOT SPEAK TO PEOPLE but to God. Indeed, NO ONE UNDERSTANDS THEM; they utter mysteries by the Spirit. From the context the difference is crystal clear, even in both cases glossa was used. Check out for example 1Co 12:10 - To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the INTERPRETATION of tongues - yes, still glossa used, however talking about interpretation, not translation! An existing lenguage doesn't need to be interpreted, but translated! Clearly it is not an existing lenguage, but still glossa🤷♀️ Greek doesn't have different phrase for existing tongues vs. heavenly tongues. Just as English, Hungarian, Czech, Slovak, nor Spanish - it seems to be a broader "issue"🤭
Doug Speaking in tongues is not an earthly language if it were Paul wouldn’t distinguish between the two Yes in the Bible the word tongues can mean an earthly language but when it is given as a gift from God it is not in earthly language It were Paul wouldn’t be teaching that when you were praying to God and don’t know what you’re saying you pray for God to reveal to you what you have prayed This is done when you’re alone with God so it’s definitely not speaking in French or German or Greek But when spoken people in other languages hear you in their language when God wants them to The reason that you don’t have this is because of counterfeit religions Counterfeit religions do not possess the real gifts.
Paul is clearly talking about the church, not praying alone. You contradicted yourself when you went on to say "But when spoken people in other languages hear you in their language when God wants them to" because if you are alone how could others hear? And if others are present who is there to interpret?
Really? then why does Paul say speaking in tongues is the language of Angels? why did Cornelius in this household speak in tongues when in fact they all spoke the same language and so did Peter they all understand each other? what was the point of that you’re the one that needs to read your Bible

Calling a gift from the Holy spirit counterfit or kundalini is blasphemy against the Holy Spirit. Be very careful. Read Cor 14, ask the Holy Spirit of THRUTH to reveal Gis Word to you, but dont blaspheme.
He did not call tongues counterfeit. He called fake tongues counterfeit. Be careful. Mocking God by speaking in fake tongues is absolute blaspheme to the Holy Spirit.
So Christian pastors told Doug he Didn’t have the Holy Spirit so he left those Christian churches and joined the SDA church where he could get all of the attention that he needs he seems to be a self appointed teacher maybe those pastors were right maybe Doug needed to go from being a baby Christian to a Christian that Paul talks about in the Bible Paul describes those Christians as Christians who eat meat and not Christians who drink milk As a baby Christian. He sounds a little biased against Christians now I know why
If he’s speaking the truth and speaking in tongues and speaking another language like German or English why does Paul write that I speak with the language of angels did you even realize this is what Paul wrote it’s not speaking German it’s not speaking Spanish nowhere in the Bible does it ever say it is a human language speaking in tongues is the language of angels and it’s a language that God understands when a Christian praise to him while speaking in tongues wake up
Really? then why does Paul say speaking in tongues is the language of Angels? why did Cornelius in this household speak in tongues when in fact they all spoke the same language and so did Peter they all understand each other? what was the point of that you’re the one that needs to read your Bible
@@shellystone3211 1 corinthians 14 20-23 Brothers do not be children in your thinking. Be infants in evil, but in your thinking be mature. In the law it is written, "By people of strange tongues and by the lips of foreigners will I speak to this people, and even then they will not listen to Me, says the Lord." Thus tongues are a sign not for believers but for unbelievers, while prophecy is a sign not for unbelievers but for believers. If therefore the whole church comes together and they all speak in tongues, and outsiders or unbelievers enter, will they not say that you are out of your minds.

I think you don't really understand prophecy..you wouldn't be saying these...we can prove with prophecy whatever has happened and is happening..The Bible never lies .It is very clear in the scriptures. I hope one day you find the truth for yourself..May God help you 🙏
There's is a big discrepancy in the Adventist argument for tongues. 1Cor14 dismantles this. Why did they need an interpreter if like the gift in Acts the languages were supernaturally interpreted? Why does the gift of interpretation exist? Why was Paul asking them to "get and interpreter" or shut up. Why should ordinary languages be classed as a "spiritual gift" when it needs to be learned in schools but paul says "pray to interpret". How many adventist prayed to learn a foreign language and new it instantly without years of schooling? In Acts they began to speak in togues as soon as the spirit fell, not after years of Rosetta stone. So we need to consider these things: 1. The gift has to be something supernatural and not learned because almost every account where people received the spirit they spoke in tongues immediately. Also Paul says to "pray for it". 2. Paul said the person edifies himself and not others but communicates to God ONLY and NOT TO MAN. 3. The gift is considered to be a mystery. Languages are not mysteries. Yes they are foreign but not "mysterious". 4. Paul said he did speak in tongues more than them all meaning he never discredited it but practiced it himself.

It was ok for Ellen white to fall on the floor and babble and no one interpreted her they waited for her to tell them. That’s not biblical there’s your evil spirit
read acts they were babbling everyone thought they were drunk duh! And the Bible does not say they spoke the peoples languages it says thise people heard their Ian language
Paul rebukes you Doug in Corinthians 13:1 when he defines 2 types of tongues the language of men and the language of angels. All people can speak the language of men but only those who have the gift of tongues can speak the language of angels you are always so confused
***1 Corinthians 13:1 Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal. >>> Context time: >>> _______________________________________________________ ***1 Corinthians 13: 1-3 1 Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal. 2 And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. 3 And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, but have not love, it profits me nothing. ___________________________________________________________ >>> Paul is not saying that he speaks with the tongue of angels. He's making an exaggeration to prove a point. >>> In this passage Paul lists off a few of the spiritual gifts. Prophecy, faith, and the gift of tongues. >>> Pay attention to how he describes each one. It's not just prophecy. It's understanding all mysteries and all knowledge. It's not just faith. It's faith that can remove mountains. >>> It's not just tongues. It's the tongues of angels. >>> It's saying it doesn't matter what you can do, if you're not doing it with love then you're wasting your time. No gift is greater than love.
If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels....can you speak all tongues of men? Note the word if ...meaning even though I speak in the tongues of men and angels and have not love I'm a cymbal....what if I understand all mysteries and all knowledge (impossible ,only God knows all) but Paul is saying if I have them and have not love then it's nothing When you speak in tongues do you understand what you say?...God is not the author of confusion Paul says in chapter 14 if there's no one to interpret what you said of what essence is it? The example of speaking in tongues from acts 2 is so different from what you teach... there's no example of what you claim from the Bible ...we never saw anyone speaking in the so called language of angels you claim Acts 2 and 19 point out the same method of speaking Paul never spoke in the tongues of angels he only said “if" He was trying to show how important love is....do not misunderstand what it's meant for I believe as christians we should follow the Bible and the Bible alone This is just a text too misunderstood by so many people Speaking in tongues is taken as the greatest of spiritual gifts which is so wrong as Paul said he would prefer if everyone prophesies Speaking in tongues is a sign to unbelievers of the power of God breaking barrier of languages Amen
Hello could you please clarify your response in just a few lines you mixed versus together that I don’t understand Do you realize that Paul speaks in the tongues of angels to God and speaks in the tongues of men which means different human languages? Based on this biblical fact I don’t understand your response
I love Doug but he is wrong. Speaking in tongues is biblical. The Lord gives us the gift of interpreting as well. I repent for i listen to man more than i read. Lord forgive us. Thats why its crucial to read and be lead by the Holy Spirit. I have heard and spoken in tongues. It is scripture. Tongues is not the definition of world languages. Repent.

Bible Flock Box I think Greg is stalking pastor Dough😂 just joking! Nice to see you Greg! From SA like your videos!
These exposition videos almost never mention 1 Cor 14:2 which clearly says there is a tongue that is NO human language
He literally just said that tongue and language are the same. If you speak a language (Chinese in an American church) that no one understands then of course your only gonna be able to speak to God alone and your words would be mysterious among others
WOW,So powerful teaching brother,now I know what is that speaks in tongues.i truly understand it.praised the LORD
This is the most simple and accurate explanation of this topic I have ever heard. Thank you so much Doug!
I made the critical mistake decades ago of trying to 'receive' the gift of tongues by repeating the word Hallelujah over and over. Eventually I did receive something and my tongue changed, but it was a demonic counterfeit. I can testify that Dougs message in this video is 100% correct. I wasted a large part of my life in charismatic churches chasing supposed apostolic gifts and healings. It is the greatest mistake I have ever made. In the end I had to renounce this experience to get away from the effects.
I can only hope my testimony warns and helps others to avoid this false practice and these kinds of charismatic churches.
Unfortunately, as the bible warns, there are many false/ unclean spirits in the world and there is often little or no protection for the unwary. Be careful folks.
Amen
Great testimony of the Spanish hitchhiker, am happy it turned out well. May God continue to bless you and grant you continued wisdom and knowledge to spread his love and the biblical truth.

This is very interesting to me I have gone to a church that say its Praying to God. Tell me what is 1 corth.14:4. I only want truth. I have been listening to your teaching's a lot lately and have been blown away. I have learned a lot. Some I didn't want to hear but am so very grateful to hear it. My understanding of God's word has changed. Thank you
You really cant understand just that one verse by itself you have to read the whole chapter to understand the context. Basically what he's telling the church is that tongues were to spread the Word to other countries and that speaking tongues in church is simply of no benefit to the church. I would encourage you to read the whole chapter.
Excellent and thank you
Very clear explanation... Thanks.
Your so so so so so TRUE!I really liked the way you simplified it😀😄
Amen & amen.....
This is so much right i used to wonder if tongues were okay but i knew something was wrong and i had to read the bible and research more and i came to a conclusion that brambling is wrong
I got the gift of tongues in 2006 I call it the night of penocost because it came over me at night after a long time in prayer it was many different one and with time with the Lord and his spirit teaching me I speak Korean and can read Korean German and and a few other. I only am able to speak it when the Lord wants me to teach about Jesus ... IAM sad to say I don't like in my old church anymore to since they like to show me off like I was a shinny new penny.. and I hated that . IAM in a new church now and I keep my mouth shut about my gift and only use it outside of church when the Lord allow me... IAM nothing special ... And it's the least of the gifts so really no big deal I just love hearing the true words of God for pastor's don't always have to check there doctrine so thank you for all your sermons and see you in the clouds
The miracle was on the part of the hearers in the case that you spoke of...
It says them that believe shall speak with " new tongues " have we ceased having believers? And isnt that a promise/command from the savior for "All" believers???
The 'tongues' you see in churches today is the Kundalini spirit.

Please read acts chapter 14 regarding tongues , it is clearly written
I think you have the wrong chapter.
This is in line with a lot of other videos that go directly against the word of God. These videos almost never mention 1 Cor 14:2, which is a short verse but says a lot. It says with this tongue
- we are NOT speaking to people
- we are speaking to God
- NO PERSON understands what we are saying
- we speak MYSTERIES by the Holy Spirit
So from this verse it is clear that this tongue is NOT a foreign language.
Also 1 Cor 14:4 says, One who speaks in a tongue edifies himself. If we are speaking a foreign language we do not know, then we are NOT edifying ourself, we would be edifying the listeners who understand.
Most videos against tongues conveniently skip these verses.
I am so thankful for the gift of tongues. I don't think I would have overcome as much as I have without it
He did explain 14:2 though???????

The gift of tongues that the 120 received in the upper room were han languages. They were given thwse gifts in order to spread the gospel to the world. Not to jibber jabber in a large group that only leads to confusion and discomfort making people want to flee because it is very disturbing.
Where does it say "to build our faith"? You inserted those words, unless you're quoting a loose modern Translation.
In 1corinthians14:2 it says For anyone who speaks in a tongue[a] does not speak to people but to God. Indeed, no one understands them; they utter mysteries by the Spirit. 3 But the one who prophesies speaks to people for their strengthening, encouraging and comfort. 4 Anyone who speaks in a tongue edifies themselves, but the one who prophesies edifies the church.
It clearly says no one understands them they utter mysteries to God. This is also one of the gift. There is a gift where you speak in different languages which is what is mentioned in Acts chapter 2.

Where is it written in the bible that God doesn't want to listen to the holyspirit speaking to him through unknown tongues, When God wants something to be intrepreted to the church, God will raise people who can edify the church. It's the groaning of the spirit, the holyspirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans.Romans 8:26. Its a divine experience you will never understand unless you experience it.
If I stood up in church and started speaking Chinese no one would understand me. What I said would be a mystery to them.
Even Paul tells that it's better to prophecy than speak in tongues, not all can prophecy. And I understand not all can interpret when a person is speaking in tongues. But it is not demonic and during worship it is okay to speak in tongues.
@@roseharini6835 If you are speaking in tongues then your right. But what most people call speaking in tongues today isnt biblical speaking in tongues. I'm sorry it's just not.
I believe if you speak in tongues by yourself your speaking directly to the Lord in spirit, because of this scripture.
For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God: for no man understandeth him; howbeit in the spirit he speaketh mysteries.

Hey, nice message! I always had my doubts about that babbling in charismatic churches. Could you also talk about the issue of "being slain in the spirit" ? A phenomenal also practiced in charismatic churches?
At Bethel church in Redding CA, people like to fake that all the time. They get on stage and fall to the floor and flop around like fools. They also do all this goofy giggling over nothing and call it holy laughter.
this makes sense...I meet a lot of christians who speaks like this "babalabashababalalashahsha"...like what the heck does that mean?...is that even a language?..
It means they are deceived, blabbering baby talk. Hondakawasakisuzukiyamaguchi...

I hear it just fine.
Satan is the author of confusion, Tongues is present many times in False Doctrines and in Churches where Emotionalism and desiring to feel something is top of a service.
Awesome
You should study this in a whole chapter approach not picking verses that suits your belief about this praying in the spirit or singing in the spirit, or speaking in tongues
Exactly. So many false teachers preach a fake tongues to babbling loons, by twisting scripture and taking things out of context.
@@johnmark1v17 I don’t think he is false but because someone tried to make him repeat stuff he know thinks it doesn’t exist.

Eugene if you speak in tongues then it can be translated. Type your words out the best that you can.
@@arrowhead9027 the example shown to us in acts 2 is so different from what we see nowadays
Tongues refers to language and are a sign to show that God is not limited to language

Tongues are not just words you speak and claim it's the holy Spirit
God is no author of confusion
Read 1 cor 14 for yourself the Bible is clear on speaking in tongues
Of wat essence is speaking in tongues if it cannot be interpreted
Paul also made reference to tongues as languages of the world
So which are you speaking?
How is it of benefit ?
Amen
Then read 1 cor 14
In Acts ch.10 when the gentiles recieved the Holy Spirit and spoke in " tongues" how did the skeptical jews know that they weren't speaking in native languages that they already knew ?
Because it was a distinctive spiritual language, the same one they spoke at pentecost.
Do you read the Bible at all? At Pentecost, there were 16 distinct HUMAN languages spoken by the apostles so the hearers could understand. Acts 2, 1-13, gives the EXACT details. These were NATIVE TONGUES of the hearers, NOT some mystery spiritual language. Stop twisting the Bible to justify gibberish.
@jeanclaude7018 There are a number of times that the Word will repeat something said or an event three times to:
1) Direct our attention to an important spiritual truth.
2) To set a precedent to where the same circumstance need not be repeated in as much detail elsewhere in scripture that it occurs.
In Acts ch.2, after the believers recieved the Holy Spirit and began speaking in " tongues", three times the men in the crowd questioned how they were hearing the believers speaking in their native languages. Why not only once ?
The reason is that the miracle for the men in the crowd was Hearing what the believers were saying in their native languages, not that the believers were speaking them.
@@robertnieten7259 I was questioning this recently, so I studied again.
Is there any reason to doubt the first mention, where it says they began to SPEAK with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance? You can't just throw that out.
@jeanclaude7018 Thanks for your reply. First mention is important.
In 1Corinthians, Paul only mentions two manifestations of speaking in " tongues".
The first, is in private prayer for self edification.
Secondly, he mentions speaking in " tongues", followed by a believer with the gift of interpretation, is for the edification of a church gathering.
He calls the first, " the ( unknown) tongues that " no man knoweth"( 1Cor.14:2).
Taking it literally, if no man knows this language then it isn't native to this world. He also says that this language is his spirit praying. No one is born that can speak from their spirit, but we are taught early in life to speak from our mind the words that we want to speak.
As far as the gift of speaking In " tongues", requiring interpretation, why is it necessary if someone in the congregation might speak that native language ?
It is necessary because speaking in " tongues" is one spiritual language.
I believe that the reason that the word " tongue" is pluralized in scripture is because this spiritual language originally was the language that God confounded at the judgement at the Tower of Babel.
Think about it. The Word says that God created Adam in His image and likeness. Why then give him a language that He Himself didn't speak ?
Lastly, so in a sense the word " tongues", in scripture, is both singular and plural.
1 Corinthians 14:14- For if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prays, but my understanding is unfruitful.
@9:10 he tries to make an attempt to explain the meaning of the verse. However, I believe that his explanation is incorrect. The reason for this is because:
1 Corinthians 14:13-14- Therefore let him who speaks in a tongue pray that he may interpret. For if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prays, but my understanding is unfruitful.
From the verses above we can clearly see that the person speaking in tongues is among the persons whose mind is unfruitful together with the listeners. If that were not the case why would Paul say in verse 13 that he/she who prays in tongues should pray that he/she interpret. If you understand what you are saying you do not need to pray that you interpret, rather you would proceed to interpret.
Therefore in verse 14, Paul is indeed saying that the minds of those who speak in tongues are unfruitful/ do not understand what they are saying.
Tongues are listed, by Scripture, as the least of the gifts of the Holy Spirit. 1 Cor 12:28-31
My brother, is you look on those verses. It says tongues should be interpreted, so tongues are basically languages.
@brianzvashura8504 Yes those who speak in tongues speak in known languages, but an interpreter is not always needed:
Acts 2:6-11 Now when this was noised abroad, the multitude came together, and were confounded, because that every man heard them speak in his own language.
7 And they were all amazed and marvelled, saying one to another, Behold, are not all these which speak Galilaeans?
8 And how hear we every man in our own tongue, wherein we were born?
9 Parthians, and Medes, and Elamites, and the dwellers in Mesopotamia, and in Judaea, and Cappadocia, in Pontus, and Asia,
10 Phrygia, and Pamphylia, in Egypt, and in the parts of Libya about Cyrene, and strangers of Rome, Jews and proselytes,
11 Cretes and Arabians, we do hear them speak in our tongues the wonderful works of God!
I'm thinking if that can't be the Holy Ghost speaking through you, then what wrong number did you dial?🤭
Someone on this channel called me a poor TARE meaning, not wheat I am not a Seventh-day Adventist. I am a Christian I am not a Catholic. I am not a Jehovah witness or a Mormon. I am a Christian and Christians are the wheat. We are not tares every religion that came after the apostle Paul taught is called a tare and defined as a tare in the Bible
I read Corinthians chapter 14
I want you to focus on verse 14 Paul uses the word PRAY not speaking to man? He further states……..the one doing this is your spirit praying (not your carnal mind) and your carnal mind does not know what you are saying
So look at verse 13 Paul is teaching that for those who speak in tongues and pray in tongues that…..that same person should pray to God for the interpretation of whatever it is that they just said.
If Speaking in tongues was speaking in earthly language like German or French or whatever
Then that person speaking would not be praying to God in languages like German or French, Greek etc)
no (speaking in tongues) Is a gift from God and an unknown known earthly language that when spoken may have an impact on someone nearby they may hear you in their own language even though you are not speaking their language nor are you speaking your language…… you’re speaking a language that God gave you as a gift.

What did Jesus mean when he told the theif on the cross, today you will be with me in paradise
I tell you this day, you shall be with Me in paradise. Where should the comma go? On resurrection Sunday Scripture tells us Jesus had not yet gone to the Father. John 20:17
@@Nirky Yesss and the thief did not die that day as well. Punctuations weren't in the original text but later added. When you place the comma after the word today, the verse is in harmony with scripture.
Mike Oneill he made a promise THAT DAY!
I say unto thee today, Thou shalt be with Me in Paradise. Christ did not promise that the thief should be with Him in Paradise that day. He Himself did not go that day to Paradise. He slept in the tomb, and on the morning of the resurrection He said, “I am not yet ascended to My Father.” John 20:17. But on the day of apparent defeat the promise was given. “Today,” while dying on the cross as a malefactor, Christ assured the sinner, “You will be with Me in Paradise.”

20 But there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, full of sores, who was laid at his gate,
21 desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man’s table. Moreover the dogs came and licked his sores.
22 So it was that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels to Abraham’s bosom. The rich man also died and was buried.
23 And being in torments in Hades, he lifted up his eyes and saw Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.
24 “Then he cried and said, ‘Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus that he may dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame.’
25 But Abraham said, ‘Son, remember that in your lifetime you received your good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things; but now he is comforted and you are tormented.
26 And besides all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed, so that those who want to pass from here to you cannot, nor can those from there pass to us.’
How come you never talk about all tongues in the Bible and where it tells us Paul came to us by Christ. Thank you.
@Alvin Ochola Satan is an angel. Is he the angel tongue you're speaking about? Sure sounds like it to me. Tongues of fallen angels. Jesus spoke Hebrew, not heavenly prayer languages.
For anyone who speaks in a tongue does not speak to people but to God. Indeed, no one understands them; they utter mysteries by the Spirit.
If someone does not speak to people but to God, isn't that the definition of prayer? If so, is 1 Cor 14:2 supporting the practice of praying in tongues to God in a private setting (e.g. alone in a prayer closet, etc.)?
The word unknown in 1 corin 14:1-3 was added.... Unknown babble is unbiblical
Don't forbid speaking of tongues it is a true gift from God..read all scriptures and pray to God for the baptism of the holy spirit with evidence of speaking in tongues God bless
No one forbid speaking in tongues.
Nice try though.
Speaking in tongues is not the only evidence of the baptism of the Holy Spirit.
You cannot choose your spiritual gifts.
Only the Holy Spirit can decide which gifts you will receive.
What a charismatic lie.
Doug says the person speaking should know what hes saying...why then the need for the gift of interpretation??
How could we use John & Jesus as examples on this... when John the baptist was WAY before the day of pentecost... Jesus rose from the dead .... and left saying he was sending a helper... 🤔 the day of Pentecost was our gift from Jesus...
The word unknown in 1 corin 14:1-3 was added.... Unknown babble is unbiblical
No Doug you did not receive the gift of tongues by learning Spanish during a three day ride the gift of tongues is the language of angels not of men read first Corinthians chapter 13 verse one wake up
I would like every one of you to speak in tongues, [3] but I would rather have you prophesy. He who prophesies is greater than one who speaks in tongues, [4] unless he interprets, so that the church may be edified. 1 Corinthians 14:1. There are at least 4 types of tongues. Yes, one of them is: existing lenguage = we can say for mission. But there are others=non existing lenguages. Because than why we need interpretation of them. Not translation, but interpretation! Why? Becuase the Holy Spirit prays in us, which id for people who don't have this gift need to be interpreted! With all the love of God I'm saying Mr. Bachelor is limiting this gift! The work of the Holy Spirit. I started to pray in tongues however I didn't know it is in the Bible, but the Holy Spirit felt on me one morning (hard to describe, was a powerful moment) and I started to pray in tongues and I see a huge benefit of it. Many people in my church do so. No, we are not those radical charismatics, who force people to pray in tongues. A gift can't be forced! But we see it biblical. Please, study more the Bible and diferentiate of which type of lenguage is Paul talking in the Bible to not misunderstand this gift!
Paul doesn't use the word translation because he is talking about a spoken language. Translation only applies to text. Interpretation applies to spoken language.
@@williamgunn9973
There is praying in tongues in the Bible and those tongues are not existing languages! Because Paul is writing about interpretation, not translation!
Prayer in tongues is the Holy Spirit is praying in us, it is His language! My understanding is unfruitful, but my Spirit is praying in me!
1 Corinthians 14:13
"Wherefore let him that speaketh in an unknown tongue pray that he may interpret.” (KJV)
1 Corinthians 14:14
"For if I pray in an unknown tongue, my spirit prayeth, but my understanding is unfruitful.” (KJV)
1 Corinthians 14:2
“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.” (NKJV)
1 Corinthians 14:2
"For one who speaks in an [unknown] tongue speaks not to men but to God, for no one understands or catches his meaning, because in the [Holy] Spirit he utters secret truths and hidden things [not obvious to the understanding].” (AMPC)
@@gracejoylove Uh I was only addressing the meaning of translation vs interpretation. Translation is transferring written text from one language to another. Interpretation is the act of orally rendering spoken language into another language.
Addressing speaking in tongues: Read the entire 1 Corinthians 14. It is contrary to what you are saying. Paul is emphasizing building up the church. In fact, that is the main theme here. Paul also points out that tongues should be used in the church in an orderly way. He mentions the importance of having an interpreter. Have you ever been able to interpret your tongues? If not it is like Paul said, unfruitful.
@@gracejoylove The word unknown in 1 corin 14:1-3 was added.... Unknown babble is unbiblical
@@Truth-f2q ok, but an existing lenguage doesn't need interpretation! But a heavenly lenguage, what you called bubbling🥲🥲 does!🤷♀️
In Acts 2:6 it is clear from the context, that these were existing languages: "Now when this was noised abroad, the multitude came together, and were confounded, because that every man heard them speak in HIS OWN language." BUT(!) 1 Cor 14 says: For anyone who speaks in a tongue DOES NOT SPEAK TO PEOPLE but to God. Indeed, NO ONE UNDERSTANDS THEM; they utter mysteries by the Spirit. From the context the difference is crystal clear, even in both cases glossa was used.
Check out for example 1Co 12:10 - To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the INTERPRETATION of tongues - yes, still glossa used, however talking about interpretation, not translation! An existing lenguage doesn't need to be interpreted, but translated! Clearly it is not an existing lenguage, but still glossa🤷♀️ Greek doesn't have different phrase for existing tongues vs. heavenly tongues. Just as English, Hungarian, Czech, Slovak, nor Spanish - it seems to be a broader "issue"🤭
Doug Speaking in tongues is not an earthly language if it were Paul wouldn’t distinguish between the two
Yes in the Bible the word tongues can mean an earthly language but when it is given as a gift from God it is not in earthly language
It were Paul wouldn’t be teaching that when you were praying to God and don’t know what you’re saying you pray for God to reveal to you what you have prayed This is done when you’re alone with God so it’s definitely not speaking in French or German or Greek
But when spoken people in other languages hear you in their language when God wants them to
The reason that you don’t have this is because of counterfeit religions Counterfeit religions do not possess the real gifts.
Paul is clearly talking about the church, not praying alone. You contradicted yourself when you went on to say "But when spoken people in other languages hear you in their language when God wants them to" because if you are alone how could others hear? And if others are present who is there to interpret?
Really? then why does Paul say speaking in tongues is the language of Angels? why did Cornelius in this household speak in tongues when in fact they all spoke the same language and so did Peter they all understand each other? what was the point of that you’re the one that needs to read your Bible

Corinthians talk about when you talk your brain is unfruitfull and only spirit knows so not sure you know??Bible
Jesus is coming for his wheat, not his TARES
Calling a gift from the Holy spirit counterfit or kundalini is blasphemy against the Holy Spirit. Be very careful. Read Cor 14, ask the Holy Spirit of THRUTH to reveal Gis Word to you, but dont blaspheme.
He did not call tongues counterfeit. He called fake tongues counterfeit.
Be careful.
Mocking God by speaking in fake tongues is absolute blaspheme to the Holy Spirit.
That is blasphemy of the Holy Spirit.

Is it okay for me to laugh at people who babble and pretend to speak in tongues? It’s so cringe after you know the truth about speaking in tongues
So Christian pastors told Doug he Didn’t have the Holy Spirit so he left those Christian churches and joined the SDA church where he could get all of the attention that he needs he seems to be a self appointed teacher maybe those pastors were right maybe Doug needed to go from being a baby Christian to a Christian that Paul talks about in the Bible Paul describes those Christians as Christians who eat meat and not Christians who drink milk As a baby Christian. He sounds a little biased against Christians now I know why
He spoke absolute biblical facts in this video.
You should study your Bible.
If he’s speaking the truth and speaking in tongues and speaking another language like German or English why does Paul write that I speak with the language of angels did you even realize this is what Paul wrote
it’s not speaking German it’s not speaking Spanish nowhere in the Bible does it ever say it is a human language speaking in tongues is the language of angels and it’s a language that God understands when a Christian praise to him while speaking in tongues wake up
Really? then why does Paul say speaking in tongues is the language of Angels? why did Cornelius in this household speak in tongues when in fact they all spoke the same language and so did Peter they all understand each other? what was the point of that you’re the one that needs to read your Bible
@@shellystone3211 1 corinthians 14 20-23 Brothers do not be children in your thinking. Be infants in evil, but in your thinking be mature. In the law it is written, "By people of strange tongues and by the lips of foreigners will I speak to this people, and even then they will not listen to Me, says the Lord." Thus tongues are a sign not for believers but for unbelievers, while prophecy is a sign not for unbelievers but for believers. If therefore the whole church comes together and they all speak in tongues, and outsiders or unbelievers enter, will they not say that you are out of your minds.
@@shellystone3211 read 1 cor 14:10
Your story about learning a little Spanish in a three day ride is not speaking in tongues it is a language of angels read 1 Corinthians 13:1

Paul said in the Bible I SPEAK IN TONGUES MORE THAN ALL OF YOU!!!!
But you should know even if you beleive in such tongues God is not the Author of confusion , Only one being is...
and you completely misunderstand what is meant by blasphemy against the holy spirit.
***1 Corinthians 14:18-19
18 I thank my God I speak with tongues more than you all;
19 yet in the church I would rather speak five words with my understanding,
that I may teach others also, than ten thousand words in a tongue.
2300 days in The book of Daniel means exactly what it says 2300 days those 2300 days have already come and passed and Jesus celebrating them in the book of John chapter 10 and anyone including false prophets that teaches you anything different is just that a false prophet
I think you don't really understand prophecy..you wouldn't be saying these...we can prove with prophecy whatever has happened and is happening..The Bible never lies .It is very clear in the scriptures. I hope one day you find the truth for yourself..May God help you 🙏
Its spirit brother you missing so much
The word unknown in 1 corin 14:1-3 was added.... Unknown babble is unbiblical
There's is a big discrepancy in the Adventist argument for tongues. 1Cor14 dismantles this. Why did they need an interpreter if like the gift in Acts the languages were supernaturally interpreted? Why does the gift of interpretation exist? Why was Paul asking them to "get and interpreter" or shut up. Why should ordinary languages be classed as a "spiritual gift" when it needs to be learned in schools but paul says "pray to interpret". How many adventist prayed to learn a foreign language and new it instantly without years of schooling? In Acts they began to speak in togues as soon as the spirit fell, not after years of Rosetta stone.
So we need to consider these things:
1. The gift has to be something supernatural and not learned because almost every account where people received the spirit they spoke in tongues immediately. Also Paul says to "pray for it".
2. Paul said the person edifies himself and not others but communicates to God ONLY and NOT TO MAN.
3. The gift is considered to be a mystery. Languages are not mysteries. Yes they are foreign but not "mysterious".
4. Paul said he did speak in tongues more than them all meaning he never discredited it but practiced it himself.

Bible says it's an unknown tongue. I speak in tongues.
If You don’t repent and find a good Christian church that teaches the true gospel you’ll follow false teachers to hell.
Oh and another thing you don’t lay in the grave asleep your spirit will come out of your body the minute you take your last breath and you will see your body you need to study the Bible that’s what the Bible teaches

So unbiblical...
Unknown babble is unbiblical.
It was ok for Ellen white to fall on the floor and babble and no one interpreted her they waited for her to tell them. That’s not biblical there’s your evil spirit
A lot of fake pastors here in the philippines speaking gibberish. Dadadada dididid rarbababra etc
read acts they were babbling everyone thought they were drunk duh! And the Bible does not say they spoke the peoples languages it says thise people heard their Ian language
Paul rebukes you Doug in Corinthians 13:1 when he defines 2 types of tongues the language of men and the language of angels. All people can speak the language of men but only those who have the gift of tongues can speak the language of angels you are always so confused

If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels....can you speak all tongues of men? Note the word if ...meaning even though I speak in the tongues of men and angels and have not love I'm a cymbal....what if I understand all mysteries and all knowledge (impossible ,only God knows all) but Paul is saying if I have them and have not love then it's nothing
When you speak in tongues do you understand what you say?...God is not the author of confusion
Paul says in chapter 14 if there's no one to interpret what you said of what essence is it?
The example of speaking in tongues from acts 2 is so different from what you teach... there's no example of what you claim from the Bible ...we never saw anyone speaking in the so called language of angels you claim
Acts 2 and 19 point out the same method of speaking
Paul never spoke in the tongues of angels he only said “if"
He was trying to show how important love is....do not misunderstand what it's meant for
I believe as christians we should follow the Bible and the Bible alone
This is just a text too misunderstood by so many people
Speaking in tongues is taken as the greatest of spiritual gifts which is so wrong as Paul said he would prefer if everyone prophesies
Speaking in tongues is a sign to unbelievers of the power of God breaking barrier of languages
Amen
Hello could you please clarify your response in just a few lines you mixed versus together that I don’t understand
Do you realize that Paul speaks in the tongues of angels to God and speaks in the tongues of men which means different human languages?
Based on this biblical fact I don’t understand your response
Real is known language of the twelve tribes of Israel
John Rider 😇😇😇
I love Doug but he is wrong. Speaking in tongues is biblical. The Lord gives us the gift of interpreting as well. I repent for i listen to man more than i read. Lord forgive us. Thats why its crucial to read and be lead by the Holy Spirit. I have heard and spoken in tongues. It is scripture. Tongues is not the definition of world languages. Repent.
He never said tongues wasn't biblical.
