Speaking in tongues is that ,real or alive today ?

[missmuffet]

We have had the topic of speaking in tongues on several occasions.It tends to divide us and it makes some people very defensive because they are so passionate about it.I will stay away from this and not comment any further.

It only divides us because the whole truth is not understood.  We have to read all the story not just part of it.. We cannot take what people tell us for the truth we have to get into the Word of God and study it and know beyond a shadow of a doubt that God is never wrong and His Word and Truth do not divide it always unites and never causes confusion.

I am also believing ,.. on that Pentecost day... many people from many languages areas are gathered there.. 

according to Paul writing in Corinthians .. a translator is need to talk in tongues .. this is leading to show the two languages there..

I don't think tongues are need for today church.. on Pentecost day too.. those people had the different languages only.. 

Holy spirit made them to understand without translation.. that's all.. there is no other new language there.. or special language too.. 

Every mother tongue is with own Bible so we don't need with tongues..

Sinner,if you search in Worthy you will find tons of stuff about speaking in tongues..:) It has been discussed a lot!

What do you think about your question?

[Openly Curious]

Yes I believe in the gift of the Holy Spirit as well as all the other gifts of the Spirit that is found in the scriptures (1 Corinthians 12 & 14;  Ephesians 4).  I believe they are for today and God uses his gifted people as he see's fit to edify and uplift the body of Christ.

I think that , I don't go back to the old posts, because its good to hear it fresh, from the here and the now, this way, it keeps us on 

our toes, and we can always learn something new. and keeps us looking and searching Gods word.

I believe tongues, is not used today, for it does not serve a purpose, for we all understand English, and the bible is clear.

and that it was used for the purpose of Pentecost to go out, to all the different people and languages , at that time.

what would we use it for today ? but that is just my view, God is not a God of confusion, and I do not speak it, and never heard it spoke, being filled with the spirit , does not come with a attachment of tongues or any thing else,

for we know we are filled with the spirit , when we are producing the fruits of the spirit , and that is listed in the bible, good fruit,that is, so this I have no other comment for , thank you for asking ?

     God Bless you,you seem to ask a lot of very good questions,,,,,,,,I think this is one of those questions that you are truly going to have to go to the Word of God & pray the Holy Spirit give you the Understanding that you seek because you are going to get many different answers from "people",,,,,,,,many,,,,

     I believe Willa has answered most accurately & she has given you a good Scripture reference from 1 Corinthians,,,,,the Word of God does not just show us "speaking in tongues" as only one thing,,,,,,,there are actually 3 I have found,,,,there is "tongues" that were the native language of some unbelievers ,they were spoken by those that did not speak that language until the Holy Spirit emPowered them to do so,,,,Miraculously(works & wonders!!!!!).......there was/is the language of angels that no one can understand except someone(present) that is given the interpretation & then there is the language(in spirit )you are given to pray between you & God

     Do I believe this is for today,,,,yes,I do but I do believe most of what we see & hear is counterfeit,imposters,,,,,,,you & I and every Spirit Filled believer must pray discernment over these things,,,,,,,,,we must ask for God to reveal the fakes from the real deal and always look that everything that is being done is done decently & in order and in accordance with His Word,,,,,,,,,,,

     A person can be persuaded to speak"jibberish" by everyones influence & they are deceiving themselves,,,,,,,.,God is never out of order,,,,,,,,,,I have been to church when people speak(in turn),someone interprets or they pray (in spirit) without making a fuss & screaming & so on,,,,,,,,God does not "possess" people that they are taken over & cannot control themselves,,,,,,,,,,,,even His Word says "What would the unbeliever think?",,,,,,,,,

     Read about the outpouring of the Holy Spirit in the Upper Room,,,,,the baptism of 3000 after Peters sermon,,,,,,realize that audience & why this was done,,,,,& seek Gods Wisdom              With love-in Christ,Kwik

thank you , your light really shines,

Sinner, I don't really know  if speaking in tongues is for today , for myself I rather speak in English or Dutch so I know what comes out of my mouth, I did hear before of people speaking in tongues and people who did understood the language translated it as a message which was not from God. So I am  be very careful , I heard pentecostal  preachers trying to let members speak in tongues by telling them just to open their mouth and whatever they would say would be speaking in tongues , I believe this is very wrong..

They could be real tongues but I know there is fake also..

On the other hand the Spirit understand our groanings which we can do in the Spirit when we have no words ,God can also hear our prayer when we don't have the words to pray..the Holy Spirit  knows our innermost parts and desires because He dwells in and through us..

For me to be filled with the Holy Spirit is to live through Christ  who gave me boldness to preach the gospel,that is what it is all about.

Acts 4:31 

And when they had prayed, the place in which they were gathered together was shaken, and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and continued to speak the word of God with boldness

Just a thought, if some one was to talk in tongues? would they have a new revelation ,then what we already learn from the bible?

being filled with the spirit is total surrender to God and his will ,not ours, when we know its about him, then its easier to follow him, and make better decisions, for our eyes are open, and the blinders are fallen off,

but as far as the spirit groans with in us  ? and we cannot understand, it is I believe, silent, and it is not of confusion our audible  , that's what I believe, for we are washed by the word, and everyday we are cleansed, and being regenerated spiritually with in us, and tells God for us, that we are in love with him, and we want to do what we can to be pleasing in his eyes.
