[Jerry1023]

I just want to know if speaking in tongue is heavenly or earthly language,i believed Jesus Christ speak in tongue,do you guys think it's biblical that every correct born again must speak in tongue,does those people that speak in tongue understand the language they where speaking at that moment:are those who speak in tongue more spiritual or closer to God than those who do not,does every christian who receive the holy spirit speak in tongue,is there any special benefit in speaking in tongue,I pray and believe that you guys will help me to answer all this question,I detest to rely on my own understanding,A brother who newly gave his life to christ,went to a church,according to him most of the members where speaking in tongue when the prayers was going on,He was the person that asked me those question i listed above"let assume you were the one what will you tell him?

The Bible offers no evidence that Jesus spoke in tongues.There are three occasions  in the book of Acts where speaking in tongues accompanied the receiving of the Holy Spirit Acts 2:4,10:44-46 and 19:6.This is the only place in the Bible where speaking in tongues is an evidence of receiving the Holy Spirit.Tongues was a miraculous gift that had a specific purpose for a specific time.It was not,and never has been,the only evidence of receiving the Holy Spirit.

Read 1 Cor 12, and 1 Cor 14. Then, if there is something you did not understand, ask a specific question from that. Most of what you want to know can be answered from those. To fully answer your question here, would be very long, and party speculation. Mush of what people say about tongues does not come from the bible. What is said that is not biblical, is of little interest to be personally, is it to you?

I just want to know if speaking in tongue is heavenly or earthly language
  I Cr13:1
Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.

 

do you guys think it's biblical that every correct born again must speak in tongue,

I Cr 12:30 Have all the gifts of healing? do all speak with tongues? do all interpret?

 

does those people that speak in tongue understand the language they where speaking at that moment:
I Cr 14:18,19    
I thank my God, I speak with tongues more than ye all:
Yet in the church I had rather speak five words with my understanding, that by my voice I might teach others also, than ten thousand words in an unknown tongue

 

are those who speak in tongue more spiritual or closer to God than those who do not,
I Cr 12:28      
And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of tongues.

 

 

does every christian who receive the holy spirit speak in tongue,
I Cr 14:5 I would that ye all spake with tongues, but rather that ye prophesied: for greater is he that prophesieth than he that speaketh with tongues, except he interpret, that the church may receive edifying.

is there any special benefit in speaking in tongue
I Cr 14:4

He that speaketh in an unknown tongue edifieth himself; but he that prophesieth edifieth the church.

 

I Cr 14:22    
Wherefore tongues are for a sign, not to them that believe, but to them that believe not: but prophesying serveth not for them that believe not, but for them which believe.

Dear Jerry,

    God Bless you this day,my Brother....Many people interpret the Scriptures from the Book of Corinthians many different ways...rather than simply requote those verses I will just give you my interptretation.....Paul says in 1Cor13:1that there are tongues of men AND of angels....as in the day of Pentecost in the upper room many of them spoke in tongues...this was a sign for the unbeliever as they heard foreigners(who did not speak their native tongue)begin speaking in their own language that  they understood....this is  tongues of men(earthy language).......and then Paul speaks about speaking in tongues that is between you & God for your own edification(unearthy/unknown),this is the tongues of angels(he says you may or may not be able to interpret what you are saying.     Now ,if a person is speaking for the edification of the church in the tongues of angels(unknown language to men) then there must be someone present to interpret that....so as Paul is saying that when a person prays in tongues(as he did)that it is the Holy Spirit helping us to pray(as we do not know what we ought to pray for)....groaning & utterances,I do not believe necessarily means speaking a language ...

   The benefit would be that you are praying for what the Lord would have you to pray & I think also,being it is only between you & God that the enemy can not understand what you are saying(just my thoughts)and that would be a clear advantage Jerry,I do not believe that a person who speaks in tongues is any closer to God than a person who does not,God knows our hearts & knows our prayers without us even speaking.

    Those of the Pentecostal denomination believe that speaking in tongues is the outward evidence that a person has been baptized of the Holy Spirit Acts 10:46,Scripture does support that but Paul also says that not everyone receives this gift....This can be ascribed as the outward sign that the Gentiles received the indwelling of the Holy Spirit on that miraculous day in the upper room with the original Apostles & other disciples

    Jerry,again,this is my interpretation considering your questions about "speaking in tongues".....I do pray the Holy Spirit lead you & guide you in all truth,in the Name of Jesus
