In most of the USA the spoken language is American English, and people
who attend English-speaking congregations go there expecting English
to be spoken because they UNDERSTAND THE LANGUAGE.

I attend such a congregation. Many folks in my congregation are
Hispanic and Spanish, Chilean, and Portugese are also spoken by those
folks. A couple who live in Portugal will have dinner at our home
tomorrow. We will speak English though they are multilingual and so
are we (different "other" languages however; only English and some
Spanish in common).

We will pray together, study together in Sunday School, and worship
together in a worship service IN ENGLISH before we come to our home.

They will understand. We will understand. God will understand. The
Holy Ghost will understand.

Checker, tongues was for the benefit of the unbelieving and those speaking
only
their native tongue, not simply to affirm to other believers that the Hoy
Spirit IS
present. It was a sign to the unbelieving of the Presence of GOD and His
Power
to make the impossible possible, to strengthen those new to the faith !


Mindless "stuff" won't come out of our mouths. It will all be
conscious thinking and understandable.

WHY SHOULD IT BE ANYTHING ELSE? God doesn't need it in these
surroundings. The Holy Ghost doesn't need it in these surroundings.
We will not be doing these things for the purpose of
self-gratification; we will be doing them for the GLORY OF GOD.

So why would we desire the modern-day "pentecostal" version of
so-called "tongues?" Mindless noises that come out of their mouths
with their minds disengaged?

There are fakes out their, this cannot be denied, and every church I've
heard of
will tell you that they are a bible believing church, but the facts are
that not all of
them are. The facts are that God has not stopped healing His people
simply because
some church member says it is so, or the misinterpretation of a few
verses.
The fact is that when someone is speaking in the true tongues that all
present can
understand it, and if they cannot then it is NOT the Gift. But the most
marked
evidence of being in the presence of true followers of Christ are willing
obediance
and fruit of the Spirit. Fruit of the Holy Spirit is a certain sign of
His Presence, and
YOU need to KNOW what that fruit IS, and how to distinguish it from the
fake
fruit.


Biblically, there is NO reason I can think of.

I gave it to you above.


in Christ Jesus,

Why Rodney, It's good to see someone in the mist of the mass of missed
understanding can be found. Amen, Praise God, Thank you Jesus!
You said it different then I see , but it does show to be the same...
At pentecost, there were different tongues that came from all over.
(Tongues= languages) When the deciples spoke, The Holy Spirit, opened
the ears of other tongues so they could hear and understand what was
being said, of, (One voice, all tongues knew what was said) Period!
So in this case, even Paul didn't understand this *right* maybe, we
can *ALL FALL SHORT* even Paul ! He was just mere man. Is this not
true? It things like this that seperates the men from the boys.
Meaning who has The Holy Spirit and who has not, But bless those who
believe that still haven't seen! If we look for God we will find him.
Where might that be? Look to what you can't see, then may you see!
(The kingdom is at your very hand, just maybe you haven't seen it
yet.)
Rodney, may God bless you, & Jesus keep you!

The fact is that when someone is speaking in the true tongues that all
present can
understand it, and if they cannot then it is NOT the Gift. But the most

Well, I went and took a looksie. I don't care a lot for tongue,
but the roast and buffalo steaks look really good. I could go
for a marinated slice of roast garnished with small onions and
mushroom gravy, and some new potatoes in butter. Of course
this isn't cooking newsgroup, but right now it doesn't sound half bad !

I'm not so certain about that ! There are so many unexplained things in
this
world and so much to experience. How do we learn about the unknown
without observing it or simply jumping right in ? Sure, with the later
you
could end up in a lot of regret, but there is at least a 99 to 1 chance
that you'll
come off knowing a little more. Now that won't mean much to a guy that
doesn't
like the odds, but I probably spent to much time in casinos between truck
stops,
and those are better odds than you'll find in some casinos.
Life doesn't always mean the same things to everyone, and for me it's
about
learning new things, about the adventure, and whether I come away with
some
thing new and useful, or totally weird.
The true tongues that was referred to in the bible hasn't appeared often
in the
last few centuries, there are just far to many fakes running around
filling there
pockets with "believers" money. Now, if you say something like this
around
or near a Pentecostal they'll assault your ears to no end, some will even
begin
to act exactly as the fakes you always knew they were; ergo making
chairs,
tables, and lamps FLY across the room at eye numbing speeds !
I think I'll be having some fun with this !

Each to his own I suppose, but thanks for the link ! I've had buffalo
before and it's really lean wit a stronger, better taste than beef. And,
if it's marinated in soy sauce there isn't anything that can touch it
that
I know of. But watch, someone here will know of something and chime
in, and I'll get another free recipe ! I LOVE IT ! Seriously, if there is
anything that will bring people of different beliefs togather it is food.
They
should consider using it as a tactic to get people to cooperate at the
UN.
They would have people falling over one another trying to get to the
salad bar. I'm going to recommend it in my next "you're a no good
s.o.b. letter" to the UN, let 'em haul me away in irons as long as they
serve buffet........

THE JOY OF SECTS
There are 34,000 separate Christian groups in the world. (David B.
Barrett, et al., "World Christian Encyclopedia : A Comparative Survey of
Churches and Religions in the Modern World," Oxford University Press,
(2001)).
As of 1998 there were over 1,200 Christian denominations just in North
America. ( J. Gordon Melton, Ed, "The Encyclopedia of American
Religions," 6th edition, Gale Group, (1998).)
Their names range from the Amish to The Way.
They evolve according to The Law of Sects:
“FOR EVERY SECTARIAN DOCTRINE THERE IS AN EQUAL AND OPPOSITE SECTARIAN
DOCTRINE.”
And each one is claimed to be based on the Bible.
And they typically believe that their faith group is
the "true" Christian religion, and that others are in error
and will go to hell. -- L.

The gifts of tongues serves two different purposes as there are 2
manifestations of the ability.
In one manifestation it is the ability to speak TO God in a language that
you do not understand. When this ability manifests it is because you have
either ran out of things to say to God, but you still desire to speak to
Him, so the Holy Spirit gives you words to say. Or you do not know what
you want to say to begin with so the Holy Spirit acts to get you started,
then you will probably become aware of things in your mind that God wants
you to pray about in a language known to you. Using tongues this way helps
to edify or strengthen the mind and spirit of the beliver. If you are from
a church where the majority of worshipers speak in tongues it is perfectly
acceptable to use tongues in this way as the whole church is edified when
every individual in the service is edifing themselves. An intepretation is
not required in this circumstance unless you are given one or someone who
understands the language you speak feels the need to share what you have
said. If you are in a church where the majority of the congregation DO NOT
speak in tongues it is advised that you do not speak in tongues in this
manner unless you can share an interpretation that can be confirmed by
another person, or you must be as quiet as you can be when speaking. (when
there is worship musice being played is a potentially safe time to use
tongues in this manner)
In the other manifestation it is the ability speak a message FROM God to
someone that does understand what you are saying, or to the whole
congregation. In this instance an interpretation MUST be given so that the
people who need to hear the message can be edified by you. If you are in a
church where the majority of the congregation DO NOT speak in tongues it is
advised that you do not speak in tongues unless you can give an
interpretation, so the whole church can be edified.
Paul says in chapter 14 of the second letter to the Corinthians that you
must not prohibit the use of tongues.

In most of the USA the spoken language is American English, and people
who attend English-speaking congregations go there expecting English
to be spoken because they UNDERSTAND THE LANGUAGE.

I attend such a congregation. Many folks in my congregation are
Hispanic and Spanish, Chilean, and Portugese are also spoken by those
folks. A couple who live in Portugal will have dinner at our home
tomorrow. We will speak English though they are multilingual and so
are we (different "other" languages however; only English and some
Spanish in common).

We will pray together, study together in Sunday School, and worship
together in a worship service IN ENGLISH before we come to our home.

They will understand. We will understand. God will understand. The
Holy Ghost will understand.
Mindless "stuff" won't come out of our mouths. It will all be
conscious thinking and understandable.

WHY SHOULD IT BE ANYTHING ELSE? God doesn't need it in these
surroundings. The Holy Ghost doesn't need it in these surroundings.
We will not be doing these things for the purpose of
self-gratification; we will be doing them for the GLORY OF GOD.

So why would we desire the modern-day "pentecostal" version of
so-called "tongues?" Mindless noises that come out of their mouths
with their minds disengaged?


There are fakes out their, this cannot be denied, and every church I've
heard of
will tell you that they are a bible believing church, but the facts are
that not all of
them are. The facts are that God has not stopped healing His people
simply because
some church member says it is so, or the misinterpretation of a few
verses.

The fact is that when someone is speaking in the true tongues that all
present can
understand it, and if they cannot then it is NOT the Gift. But the most
marked
evidence of being in the presence of true followers of Christ are
willing
obediance
and fruit of the Spirit. Fruit of the Holy Spirit is a certain sign of
His Presence, and
YOU need to KNOW what that fruit IS, and how to distinguish it from the
fake
fruit.



Biblically, there is NO reason I can think of.


I gave it to you above.

Hey I'm a pentecostal and I can tell you that I speak in tongues to God in
church, when I speak in tongues it is in either Macedonian, Arabic or the
one of the tribal languages that Liberian people speak. I've had this
confirmed by people in my church.
How can a baptist know the real thing if they deny the possibility that
someone they can't hear speak (the internet is a visual medium not an audio
medium) is speaking in a real language if they can't hear them?
A real language that is between yourself and God does not need
interpretation, unless it is spoken loud enough for other people to hear.
Paul himself said in his letters to the Corinthians that he spoke to God in
a language that he did not understand. The fact that you ommit this from
your rebuke proves you to be the fake.

were greatly surprised because every man was hearing the words of the
disciples in his special language.

Act 2:7 And they were full of wonder and said, Are not all these men
Galilaeans?

Act 2:8 And how is it that every one of us is hearing their words in the
language which was ours from our birth?

Act 2:9 Men of Parthia, Media, and Elam, and those living in Mesopotamia,
in
Judaea and Cappadocia, in Pontus and Asia,

Act 2:10 In Phrygia and Pamphylia, in Egypt and the parts of Libya about
Cyrene, and those who have come from Rome, Jews by birth and others who
have
become Jews,

Act 2:11 Men of Crete and Arabia, to all of us they are talking in our
different languages, of the great works of God.

Act 2:12 And they were all surprised and in doubt saying to one another,
What is the reason of this?

Act 2:13 But others, making sport of them, said, They are full of new
wine.

Act 2:14 But Peter, getting up, with the eleven, said in a loud voice, O
men
of Judaea, and all you who are living in Jerusalem, take note of this and
give ear to my words.

Act 2:15 For these men are not overcome with wine, as it seems to you, for
it is only the third hour of the day;

Act 2:16 But this is the thing which was said by the prophet Joel;




If you don't KNOW what comes out of your mouth it is fruitless. You
are like a barbarian (stranger) to the person you are speaking to, and
He is a barbarian (stranger) to you, according to the Bible.

1 Cor 14:9-12
9 So likewise you, unless you utter by the tongue words easy to
understand, how will it be known what is spoken? For you will be
speaking into the air. 10 There are, it may be, so many kinds of
languages in the world, and none of them is without significance. 11
Therefore, if I do not know the meaning of the language, I shall be a
foreigner to him who speaks, and he who speaks will be a foreigner to
me.
NKJV

The word "foreigner" in the Greek is literally BARBARIAN.

When this ability manifests it is because you have
either ran out of things to say to God, but you still desire to speak
to
Him, so the Holy Spirit gives you words to say.


Modern-day "pentecostalism" has made this up. It never happens in the
Bible that way. What the Holy Spirit does when He intercedes is he
speaks with GROANINGS THAT _CANNOT_ BE SPOKEN.

Rom 8:26

26 Likewise the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For we do not
know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes
intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.
NKJV

YOUR MOUTH cannot express them; so the modern-day fake "tongues" is
not that at all.

Or you do not know what
you want to say to begin with so the Holy Spirit acts to get you
started,
then you will probably become aware of things in your mind that God
wants
you to pray about in a language known to you.


You might as well get some rosary beads and make up your own "special
prayers" to say too, since neither they nor what you are claiming here
are in the Bible ANYWHERE. Your whole concept is MAN-MADE, not from
God at all.

Using tongues this way helps
to edify or strengthen the mind and spirit of the beliver.


Then why do non-"pentecostals" consider modern-day "pentecostals" to
be feeble-minded and stupid because they babble like little children
and like little children think they are "speaking foreign languages?"
LOL!

And to "edify" is not a mental exercise; it is a spiritual "building
up" by definition. Your word-use is sloppy.

If you are from
a church where the majority of worshipers speak in tongues it is

perfectly

acceptable to use tongues in this way as the whole church is edified
when
every individual in the service is edifing themselves. An
intepretation

is

not required in this circumstance unless you are given one or someone
who
understands the language you speak feels the need to share what you
have
said. If you are in a church where the majority of the congregation DO

NOT

speak in tongues it is advised that you do not speak in tongues in this
manner unless you can share an interpretation that can be confirmed by
another person, or you must be as quiet as you can be when speaking.

(when

there is worship musice being played is a potentially safe time to use
tongues in this manner)


If you are from a church where the majority of worshippers "speak in
tongues" then you are in a church where fakery and poor teaching
abound. All of these DOCTRINES OF MAN that you are espousing here are
NOT from God.


In the other manifestation it is the ability speak a message FROM God
to
someone that does understand what you are saying, or to the whole
congregation. In this instance an interpretation MUST be given so that

the

people who need to hear the message can be edified by you. If you are
in

a

church where the majority of the congregation DO NOT speak in tongues
it

is

advised that you do not speak in tongues unless you can give an
interpretation, so the whole church can be edified.


More man-made doctrine. You really SHOULD STUDY your Bible a bit
better.


Paul says in chapter 14 of the second letter to the Corinthians that
you
must not prohibit the use of tongues.

We Baptist Christians would NEVER "prohibit" the use of tongues, but
we DO NOT accept fakes and counterfeits as the real thing.

Modern-day "pentecostals" practice fake and counterfeit tongues; not
the real thing.

in Christ Jesus,

How can a baptist know the real thing if they deny the possibility that
someone they can't hear speak (the internet is a visual medium not an audio
medium) is speaking in a real language if they can't hear them?

Since I have visited about 39+ "pentecostal" churches, ranging from
UPC churches to "apostolic" churches, to most other kinds of
"pentecostal" churches over the years and have NEVER ONCE heard a REAL
LANGUAGE spoken, but have heard mindless babbling in every one where
"tongues" was supposedly spoken (some don't do it in church, so heard
nothing there), THAT is how I can say what I have observed. I have
several friends who have visited many multiple churches of that type
and they report hearing the same things.
REAL languages have inflection, form, syntax, etc. What we hear in
"pentecostal churches" do not.


A real language that is between yourself and God does not need
interpretation, unless it is spoken loud enough for other people to hear.

That is true IF YOU WANT TO BE A STRANGER, A BARBARIAN to God.
1 Corinthians 14:8 For if the trumpet give an uncertain sound, who
shall prepare himself to the battle?
9 So likewise ye, except ye utter by the tongue words easy to be
understood, how shall it be known what is spoken? for ye shall speak
into the air.
10 There are, it may be, so many kinds of voices in the world, and
none of them is without signification.
11 Therefore if I know not the meaning of the voice, I shall be unto
him that speaketh a barbarian, and he that speaketh shall be a
barbarian unto me.

Paul himself said in his letters to the Corinthians that he spoke to God in
a language that he did not understand. The fact that you ommit this from
your rebuke proves you to be the fake

Paul gave a HYPOTHETICAL statement (one that is not necessarily true,
but makes a point) about speaking without understanding. He did NOT
say he did so.
IF pigs could fly, we would have pork on the wing.
THOUGH pigs could fly, we would have pork on the wing.
BOTH HYPOTHETICAL STATEMENTS. NEITHER is true.
Gotta git; work is calling.

Many of us (including myself) have visited MANY "pentecostal" churches
and have heard the mindless babbling that is passed off as "tongues"
in those churches.

If YOU don't understand it, then YOU are not saying it, OR IT IS
MINDLESS GIBBERISH and not language at all. God can talk to Himself
all day long (if He ever wanted to) WITHOUT USING YOUR FLAPPING LIPS
AT ALL! Tongues has NOTHING TO DO WITH GOD TALKING TO GOD.
And if all YOU do is flap your lips, then YOU are not saying anything
at all; you are just jabbering mindlessly.

Paul himself said in his letters to the Corinthians that he spoke to God in
a language that he did not understand. The fact that you ommit this from
your rebuke proves you to be the fake.

TRY AGAIN. He made a HYPOTHETICAL statement, NOT A FACTUAL STATEMENT
to that effect.
1 Corinthians 14:14 For if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prays, but my
mind is unfruitful.
15 What is the outcome then? I will pray with the spirit and I will
pray with the mind also; I will sing with the spirit and I will sing
with the mind also.
16 Otherwise if you bless in the spirit only, how will the one who
fills the place of the ungifted say the "Amen" at your giving of
thanks, since he does not know what you are saying?
17 For you are giving thanks well enough, but the other person is not
edified.
IF statements. . .IF I pray. . .IF you bless. . .
HYPOTHETICAL STATEMENTS. Statements that MAY OR MAY NOT BE TRUE.
Sorry, but you have difficulty reading with understanding.

Most of the people in my church are either immigrants from outside of
Australia (where the official language is english) or the children of
immigrants and actually do speak and understand languages other than
english.
