I am going to approach this one question at a time if you don't mind. So first please give me a biblical description of what tongues is.

The way I understand it, the Scripture talks of two different kinds of tongues. First, the kind when someone is trying to witness to someone who speaks a different language, and the Holy Spirit somehow enables the person to understand what is being witnessed. The second being the one Paul said was the "tongues of Angels". I believe that to be a private "prayer language" that some people have. I see nothing in Scripture to support the "speaking in tongues" that goes on in some churches today. That's my take on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would follow that anybody who doesn't speak in tongues isn't a Christian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, it is not only pentecostal churches that practice rituals and beliefs that are not bible based. I've seen it in several 'denominations'. In fact, i'd go so far as to say that most churches have 'broken off' in just accepting denomination names, there were no denominations in the early church. I've been to churches that have said that you cant take communion if you're not baptized, how about baptizing infants, or baptizing people for those who have already passed away unsaved, etc etc etc. we could go on forever. Bottom line is, the bible does not teach that someone is not saved if they're not 'filled with the spirit/speaking in tongues'. anyone who insinuates that, is wrong, not that anyone here has... yet. and a person isnt any more or less saved because they do or do not speak in tongues.

I do believe that it was not meant here that someoen who doenst speak in tongues is not a Christian. But that you KNOW if someone has 'received the Holy Spirit' if they speak in tongues. Again not implying that if you dont speak in tongues you're not 'spirit filled' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You either have that gift or you don't. One does not need to ask God to be "baptized in the Holy Spirit". When Christ left Earth, He promised He would send the Holy Spirit to the believers. Every born again believer already has the Spirit within them. There is no separate act of receiving the Spirit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
