Speaking in tongues is that ,real or alive today ?

[angels4u]

 

³³ For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.

1Cor.14:33

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?

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 ?

  

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.

Amen ..

Here is a round up of what the Bible says about speaking in tongues, SS.  The ones that jump out to me are Corinthians 14:22 and 27, 28.  I have heard the 'Prophet' Brian Carnes suddenly break into tongues on t.v. and THAT is totally fake.  We have to be certain of who we are listening to.  God doesn't have anyone suddenly break into gibberish which neither they, or anyone else, can understand  because He doesn't do pointless things, ever.

After Christ departed, the gospels went out to the gentiles.  The churches became mixed with Jews and gentiles so as the churches spread out, it would of included Romans, Greeks, Samaritans, Syrians, Turks etc.

So to me, it makes sense why one would stand up in a church and speak in tongues, to spread the message of the gospel, so those  speaking other languages can understand, and the interpreter would of verified what was being said.  The only benefit I can  see is it being used to spread the message of the gospel, to get it out to the gentiles.

     I understand what you are saying about praying silently & the spirit groanings(also angels said it in her post)& I do agree but I would like to add why it is so important to "speak"

     Of course we know that God knows our prayers before we even ask,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

King James Bible
Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him.
                                                                                                                                Matthew 6:8

& we know that only He can read our our thoughts,our hearts(even better than we do,,,,,

King James Bible
For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
                                                                                                                                      Hebrews 4:12

 There is nothing in the Bible that supports,as some imagine,that the enemy can read our mind but to the contrary because we are ALWAYS told to "speak" God Word( the Sword of the Spirit),this way the enemy can hear what we say. They certainly know & can predict  our reaction & our "next step"  because they’ve been at it from the beginning ,,,,,,,,many people say this is one of the reasons that God empowers us with a Heavenly language(that the enemy cannot understand),,,,,,I know not of a Scripture verse to support that but it would make perfect sense besides the fact that we not what we ought to pray,,,,,,,,,,

We know that God inhabits our PRAISE,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,what demon wants to hang around praise & WORSHIP?

Ephesians 6:10-18

The Whole Armor of God

¹⁰ Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might. ¹¹ Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil. ¹² For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. ¹³ Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand firm. ¹⁴ Stand therefore, having fastened on the belt of truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, ¹⁵ and, as shoes for your feet, having put on the readiness given by the gospel of peace. ¹⁶ In all circumstances take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming darts of the evil one; ¹⁷ and take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God, ¹⁸ praying at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication. To that end keep alert with all perseverance, making supplication for all the saints,

I agree with you , and you are on point, and that's great, but Jesus said when you pray go into your room and pray for the lord hear you in secret, for what is secret will be rewarded openly,, for if we ask he already knows what we are asking for,

so we need to really understand ,we are told by the hearing of the word of course ,brings us to God, and through seeking of the word we are saved, but in praying it is between you and God, and personal, let us shout  from the roof tops , how great our lord God is, yes, we want all to know the saving grace of God, and make a joyful noise  to the lord, and we want all to be saved, that we can guide and bring to the lord, for his anointing ,

but we see that it is spiritual, that is beyond our comprehension, and that the thoughts, and mind set , toward God is the key to being filled with the spirit , and our actions relaying the fruit of the spirit , that we know a invisible God we serve , by faith and hope, that we know he is there , and we are changed to acknowledge  that. and repent of our ways,

mind set of the believer, is the power to be tuned in with God,

There are no "buts" about it,,,,,,we are saying exactly the same thing(in our own way),,,,, in like mind & judgement just as the Body of Christ is of the same Body ,emPowered by the same Spirit!!!!!!!!!

It is a Good Word,Gods Timeless Truth,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,love your posts,to God be the Glory!!!!                       With love in Christ,Kwik

Speaking in tongues is very prevalent in Churches today.It is very popular.

[Littlelambseativy]

Speaking in tongues is for today, however to speak it publicly without anyone to interpret is useless. In acts when the a Holy Spirit fell upon those who were gathered, those who were watching heard words spoken in various languages and it was understood.

Hmmm...I didn't see that post but some of these so called 'tongues' we see on t.v. ARE gibberish.  The way I understand it from the two verses in red, above, is either the person speaking or those being spoken to have to be able to understand what is being said.  Yes, there really are those who use this practice in a fraudulent way, usually to make money.
