Awww!!!...lol, ok, morally wrong, yes. Cute? ABSOLUTELY!

Really? What do you mean? I'm so ignorant!

I saw another forum about Islam taking over, something about in the book of Daniel...and now I can't find the forum!!! Do you think this is the beginning of that?

This is terrible...:/ http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,422748,00.html

Floatingaxe, your patience impresses me.

:sigh: The tension is so thick, no wonder no one is being edified

lol, because I asked everyone's opinion on how far submission goes out of curiousity. "Curiosity killed the cat"!! HAHA! This cat must have more than 9 lives!!!

WOW....This is ....WOW...

I was a born again believer for 37 years before I submitted to the Holy Spirit enough to receive the gift of prayer language. I had been asking for it, but before I came to the point of asking for it, I was afraid of it due to an experience where a group of Christians outside of my church group, in a home prayer meeting, tried to force me to speak in tongues. I had expressed that I had a one-time experience in speaking in tongues when I was about 20, and wanted it again. However, now I have come to the understanding about it and its use in the Body of Christ and it is a joy to be able to speak to God through the submission of my mind and my voice to Him for His pleasure and His glory. Perfect love casts out fear, and fear is the opposite to faith. Maybe Im fearful. And I don't think I know how to be very submissive...this is a new vocabulary word for me but I'm trying hard to work on it.

-Even if it DOES come from your husband! How do you feel if the situation was just a matter of doctrinal differences? Ex. Husband believes one thing, wife believes another, both are supported with scripture. Submit then? Just wondering...

that is why I started a new thread on this topic, 107 post means that a lot has been said and a lot has been lost. That's a good idea.

can you show me in the scripture where it says that the gift of tongues are for every believer? seems to me this passage says that no Spiritual Gift is for everyone... I Cor 12:8 To one there is given through the Spirit the message of wisdom, to another the message of knowledge by means of the same Spirit, 9 to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by that one Spirit, 10 to another miraculous powers, to another prophecy, to another distinguishing between spirits, to another speaking in different kinds of tongues, and to still another the interpretation of tongues.11 All these are the work of one and the same Spirit, and he gives them to each one, just as he determines. and then the rest of the passage... 28 And in the church God has appointed first of all apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then workers of miracles, also those having gifts of healing, those able to help others, those with gifts of administration, and those speaking in different kinds of tongues. 29 Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all teachers? Do all work miracles? 30 Do all have gifts of healing? Do all speak in tongues? Do all interpret? 31 But eagerly desire the greater gifts. And now I will show you the most excellent way. which of these passages makes one think that the gift of tongues is for every believer? Outside the gift of salvation, there is no gift that is given to every believer. Runninggator- If you read through this entire thread, as well as others that are posted on this topic, you will see all the scripture that is given for those of us who believe that praying in tongues is for all believers. I didn't post this to debate otherwise, but more so to reach out and hear what anyone has to say about how they received this gift after once believing that they couldn't. Posting a bunch of scripture is sort of redundant to whateverone else has already said. But thank you.

did i write this? er, uh, no you did. i could have tho. almost all of it anyway. i'm so there, too. i have no words of wisdom, but hopefully knowing your not alone is a comfort. That does help, thank you.

I have read through this whole post as well as other posts on this topic that are now closed. I understand that many people believe different things about this topic (and was actually surprised to see some people arguing about it! We are all one in Christ, no?) I certainly believe that gifts of tongues are prevelent today. However, it wasn't until about a year ago that I was shown through scripture that tongues are for every believer. Has anyone ever had an experience where they first thought that tongues was not for them, and later received? This is something that I've been struggeling with, I've read all the scripture, all the support. I've even asked for this gift and thought I've received it yet sometimes when I think back I really do think I made up what i spoke that day. This really plays on my mind. I don't want to stifle something that God wants to give to me, but I want to walk in biblical truth. How can I accept a gift if I'm not even sure that its there for the taking? And to be honest...when I hear people speaking in tongues... I ALSO think they're making it up. And that's sad, I don't want to think that, but its almost like I can't help my thoughts sometimes. And to be even more honest, it sort of scares me. I get so mad about this topic that I can't even talk to people about it in person. I'm really struggeling, if anyone has any wisdom, words of comfort, or has ever been in this situation I would love to hear about it. (note: I DO believe tongues exist, trying to convince me otherwise does no good, and please, no more arguing! Gah!)
