I don't think "private use of tongues - Speaking in tongues to yourself and to God" is even a real thing no? Does scripture ever indicate that ever happens? And what would be the point?

Ok great, thank you guys!

I am a member of multiple online Christian forums. I am wondering if it is okay to cross post sermons/devotionals/texts that inspire discussion/videos that edify etc.? All that I have made personally of course.

I'm not speaking against Enoch the prophet nor the book of Jude, I am speaking against the legitimacy of the book of Enoch actually being from the prophet Himself.

We don't know that the book of Enoch was written by Enoch just because Enoch himself was quoted in it. If I wrote the "Epistle of Enoch" and made up a bunch of stuff and then quoted Enoch the prophet a couple times, would you say the entire epistle was written by Enoch?

"The angels that sinned.—Better, the angels for their sin: it gives the reason why they were not spared, and points to some definite sin. What sin is meant? Not that which preceded the history of the human race, commonly called the fall of the angels—of that there is no record in the Old Testament; and, moreover, it affords no close analogy to the conduct of the false teachers. St. Jude is somewhat more explicit (Jude 1:6); he says it was for not keeping their own dignity—for deserting their proper home; and the reference, both there and here, is either to a common interpretation of Genesis 6:2 (that by “the sons of God” are meant “angels”), or, more probably, to distinct and frequent statements in the Book of Enoch, that certain angels sinned by having intercourse with women—e.g., Enoch vii. 1, 2; cv. 13 (Lawrence’s translation). Not improbably these false teachers made use of this book, and possibly of these passages, in their corrupt teaching. Hence St. Peter uses it as an argumentum ad hominem against them, and St. Jude, recognising the allusion, adopts it and makes it more plain; or both writers, knowing the Book of Enoch well, and calculating on their readers knowing it also, used it to illustrate their arguments and exhortations, just as St. Paul uses the Jewish belief of the rock following the Israelites. (See Note on 1Corinthians 10:4.)" -Ellicott commentary on 2 Peter 2:4 If it actually was quoted, it was likely used not in support of it but to the contrary?

One verse in Jude quotes Enoch the prophet. Just because the book of Enoch may have quoted Enoch the prophet as well, likely to make the book seem more legitimate, does not actually make it inspired. You have to look at the work as a whole and when you do that you see that there are things contrary to what we already know are the inspired words of God.

If this message is actually saying this isn't the end of the world/end times it is completely false. It most certainly is.

1 John 2:17 KJB "And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever."

We are saved by faith. Not by saying a prayer. You must repent from your sins, meaning to acknowledge your wicked ways, have a change of mind and turn from them completely, accepting and doing the will of God. But remember God warns us that you can have a dead faith instead of a saving faith. James 2:17 KJB "Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone." And a couple of my favorite passages that may help you: Hebrews 5:9 KJB "And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him;" Revelation 22:14 KJB "Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city." This faith requires much more than mere profession.

Please remember to do your own diligent research on doctrines/prophecies that God has given us. Make sure everything lines up with what God has revealed to you. I may be wrong and do not want anyone to believe something as not %100 true, so please do your further research of your own and let God teach you.

I still do not believe the mark of the beast is a physical mark that is visible on ones body but exactly what it is I do not know for sure. Please do your own research and let God teach you.

After further research I have concluded that I need to do even further research on the man of sin/son of perdition spoken of in 2 Thessalonians 2:3 as I am not entirely sure whether he truly is a single man or really just a succession of men or a mass movement (group). We all need to thoroughly research the word of God, the Holy Bible, and let God lead us.

The Antichrist will be a man, as the name man of sin indicates. Satan will enter him as he did Judas Iscariot.

Why do you think the antichrist will be a Jew? Also do you believe modern day Jews are really Jews?
