Admin	Could we STUDY this very interesting Scripture about Speaking and Praying in spirit! Posted : 25 Dec, 2011 12:54 AM Hello everyone: The tpoic of speaking and praying in a tongue stirs up a lot of bad blood on this site. Any way,i iwll begin the stirring of the pot of beef stew ( I like beef stew). 1Co 14:10 So it may be many kinds of sounds are in the world, and not one is without distinct sound. 1Co 14:11 If, then, I do not know the power of the sound, I will be a foreigner to the one speaking, and he speaking to me, a foreigner. 1Co 14:12 So also you, since you are zealots of spiritual things, seek to build up the assembly that you may abound. 1Co 14:13 So then, the one speaking in a language, let him pray that he may interpret. 1Co 14:14 For if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prays, but my mind is unfruitful. 1Co 14:15 What then is it? I will pray with the spirit, and I will also pray with the mind; I will sing with the spirit, and I will also sing with the mind. 1Co 14:16 Else, if you bless in the spirit, the one occupying the place of the unlearned, how will he say the amen at your giving of thanks, since he does not know what you say? 1Co 14:17 For you truly give thanks well, but the other is not built up. 1Co 14:18 I thank my God that I speak more languages than all of you. 1Co 14:19 But in an assembly I desire to speak five words with my mind, that I may also instruct others, than myriads of words in a foreign language. 1Co 14:20 Brothers, do not be children in your minds, but in malice be like infants, and in your minds be mature. Let us have a few definitions of some words to help in making this clear.

I know that this seems to be a touchy subject amongst our fellow brethren and usually turns out to be a "heated" discussion in the end due to "emotional (for lack of a better word)" bias on both ends. BUT I do believe that this can easily be discussed and learned from by all who participate and read if done with love and respect from ALL sides of the fence. With that being said, I'd like to ask the topic writer to show me the first example of tongues being spoken of in Scripture with a clear and simple position that the tw (topic writer) has on the subject to show it as a clear standard to follow along in the 1 Corinthians 14 chapter. Thank you and May the light and love of out Lord and Savior be in and upon all who read, and participate in this. Sal I've stated this in your other thread and will link them together so that people will not get confused: http://www.christiandatingforfree.com/forum/forum_details.php?topic_id=13801&forum_sub_cat_id=14&start=0 Post Reply
