yes but now days people are not speaking other languages that can be interpreted as also spoken of. What I have heard of by people speaking tongues can not be interpreted. To me that isn't tongues.

The interpretation Paul is discussing it is a safe keeping...what do I mean by that is that the Holy Spirit is giving a word to someone while in a group of believers. Sometimes in a small group sometimes in the Church during the service...and the individual will speak the words or the Holy Spirit will take over and make him or her speak the words of some unknown tongue...no possible to find an interpreter because it is supposed to be that way...

And because it is the Holy Spirit doing that, the Holy Spirit knows the interpretation. In other words the Holy Spirit will make someone else speak the message in their language, while everyone is waiting for the Holy Spirit to give the interpretation of the word spoken in some unknown language. 

Paul said, if the Holy Spirit has caused the first person to speak allowed the message in the unknown tongue the Holy Spirit will cause someone to speak allowed the message in the language of the group..if they were English spoken then it will be in English..

It was a message to the whole congregation or to the small group...

Now if someone got up and spoke in the unknown tongue and the people are waiting for the message to be spoken in their language but no one gets up to speak the message to the congregation then what...it could be that the person spoke moving by his own Spirit, or that the Lord gave the message to someone but he shy away and did not speak it...

But one time later on someone approached the Pastor and said the message came to me and I was troubled as I am visiting the church for the first time...

And I am visiting my friends here...and he said to the Pastor what it was...

Then the Pastor said no to worry because the message also came to him later on while I was preaching and I spoke about it as I incorporated the message in my preaching and it was a conformation to change my message the last moment and now I know that ut was from the Lord...

No to worry...often the Holy Spirit let's take a shot with our own understanding and later on he is helping us to understand and we grow this way...so we get to see the Holy Spirit working in our life and little by little is helping us understand..

***one time in a small group the message was spoken in tongues and the group was waiting for the interpretation and waiting and they pray fir the interpretation...then the group leader said: the Lord just spoke to me and said that he has given the interpretation to someone already...please do not be shy tells us what the Lord said and one very shy lady shaking she said " the Holy Spirit spoke to me and it is the very first time and I am very shy in speaking in public...and kept it to my self...

In the Day of Pentecost the disciples amongst other things they spoke a foreign language by the Holy Spirit or in different foreign languages even though they do not know that Language but it was for the people who were present and spoke in  their languages as to hear the word of God in their own language...

They disciples did not understand that language and after the meeting still did not understand it...but this what was needed that moment and this is what happened..

This also could be seen as a prophetic sign that the Gospel will be preached in all the languages and at that time we had people who believed when they heard the message in their own language and then they went back to their country and preached the Gospel in their own language...

Here it is something else that happened....the Lord did not give them interpreters but he gave them the message in their own language...

That what was needed at that time and those who believe brought the message of the Gospel to their place of origin and without the disciples going there...and if some of them later reach their place they would have seen that many had believed before even them going there.

this is my understanding of tongues.

1 Corin

13 Wherefore let him that speaketh in an unknown tongue pray that he may interpret.

19 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.

27 If any man speak in an unknown tongue, let it be by two, or at the most by three, and that by course; and let one interpret.

28 But if there be no interpreter, let him keep silence in the church; and let him speak to himself, and to God.

This is how I look at tongues.

Paul indeed say those things. 

But also read the other parts in the scriptures when the disciples James and John and others they went to the Samaritans after they heard that the Samaritans had received the Gospel from Philip and believed and were baptized and when they put their hands on them and were baptized in the Holy Spirit and spoke in other tongues. You can find that in the book of Acts.

You can also find in Acts the part when Paul came across some believers in Minor Asia and he asked them "have you received the Holy Spirit after you believed?" And they did not know about that and when Paul put his hands on them they were baptized with the Holy Spirit.

It's good to take into account everything so you can form a more accurate understanding..

Acts 8th Chapter KJV

The problem of Acts 8:5-25 is that it was not written that they had spoken in tongues.  Neither did the Ethiopian Eunuch in Acts 8:26-40

In both places, there was no need for it to serve as a sign to unbelievers because all the Samaritans were of one language while Philip was alone with the Ethiopian Eunuch.

Now in Acts 8:5-25, it was testified that the Samaritans had believed the "things" Philip had spoken of regarding the kingdom of Heaven and the name of Jesus, and were water baptized in His name, but they had never received the Holy Ghost yet.

Acts 8:12 But when they believed Philip preaching the things concerning the kingdom of God, and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women. 13 Then Simon himself believed also: and when he was baptized, he continued with Philip, and wondered, beholding the miracles and signs which were done.

14 Now when the apostles which were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent unto them Peter and John: 15 Who, when they were come down, prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Ghost: 16 (For as yet he was fallen upon none of them: only they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.) 17 Then laid they their hands on them, and they received the Holy Ghost.

If you note verse 13, that may explain why the Samaritans and even Simon had not received the Holy Ghost yet as they were not coming to & believing in Jesus Christ but following Philip around out of fanfare as they were still wondering about the miracles seemingly performed by Philip in light of what Philip was preaching about.

When the notoriety in that area shifted from the infamous Simon the sorcerer whom was responsible for afflicting the people with unclean spirits, and "Philip" was "removing" them, the focus was on Philip rather than in Jesus Christ.  Even Simon was looking at Peter & John as if he could buy the power of giving others the Holy Ghost.  Simon had to be rebuked to lift his sight higher to Jesus Christ.  Indeed, the Holy Ghost had to come from others because people were exalting Philip in doing these wonders when it was Jesus Christ all along.

God was patient with them in leading them to Jesus Christ.

Afterwards, Philip was led to the Ethiopian Eunuch and he made sure he was being water baptized for the right reason, as a believer in Jesus Christ.  No miracle was done to wowed the Ethiopian Eunuch but the truth of Him in the scriptures for why he was believing in Him.  Afterwards, a miracle did take place because Philip was whisked away as in transported to another place, leaving the eunuch behind to rejoice.

As for Acts 19:1-7, the disciples that Paul had come across were not disciples of Jesus Christ after they had answered Paul's question about the Holy Spirit since they had believed by saying they did not know anything about the Holy Spirit.  This led Paul to ask another question by what water baptism they were under. which was John the Baptist's. 

So they were not believers in Jesus Christ for then they would have been water baptized in Jesus's name.  So Paul went on to tell the disciples of John the Baptist's that Jesus was the One John the Baptist's was preaching about.  Then they believed because then it was when they were water baptized in Jesus's name.  Being on a public road where other foreign travelers are on, is why tongues was manifested there as a witness to others of the wonderful works of God in others' native tongue.

So neither Acts 8th chapter can be used for tongues and neither can Acts 19:1-7 be a testimony as if believers need to seek a baptism with the Holy Ghost with evidence of tongues as if believers can be without the Holy Ghost for why they need to ask.

Tongues are not to serve as a sign towards the believers that they had received the Holy Ghost.  Faith in Jesus Christ by coming to & believing in Him is how one receives the promise of the Holy Spirit by the Father without a sign.

Matthew 12:38 Then certain of the scribes and of the Pharisees answered, saying, Master, we would see a sign from thee. 39 But he answered and said unto them, An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas: 40 For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.

John 14:16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; 17 Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.

Hebrews 11:1Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. 2 For by it the elders obtained a good report.

Galatians 3:14 That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith..... 26 For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.

We need to identify the issues one by one and to address them accordingly. 

We should consider the factual events individually and in their relation to one another...

Jesus is not going to baptise anymore who does not want and is speaking against the baptism of the Holy Spirit. 

If He makes an exception is not for me to say anything...

I understand on his own he may bless people with a measure of the Holy Spirit...without them knowing it...and I do not think that it would include people who speak against the baptism of the Holy Spirit or make a challenge to the Holy Spirit...

Jesus let us know that we should seek the baptism of the Holy Spirit in his name..

They must seek the BAPTISM of the Holy Spirit...

To be in the presence of the Holy Spirit is different. 

For the Holy Spirit to work on someone's life whether believer or unbeliever that's different than the baptism of the Holy Spirit.

By is grace & By His help, I believe I have done so in pointing out certain truths per your general reference to the scripture.

If you wish to prove otherwise, then you have to go through the scriptures in making your case as I have done by His grace & by His help.

In any iron sharpening iron ministry of His, both sides has to be open to correction and so from what I have learned by actually addressing what the scriptures says, there is no mention of speaking in tongues in Acts 8th chapter but there is in Acts 19th chapter after the disciples of John the Baptist's become believers in Jesus Christ & got water baptized in His name to become disciples of Jesus Christ.

One has to discern with Him why He had Luke "bother" to give the background of the Samaritan people and of the infamous Simon the sorcerer of that area.  Simon was infamous because of the sorcery he had done on people for why they were afflicted and so when someone else comes along liberating them, they may credit Philip rather than the Lord Jesus Christ.

It would also explain why it was written that they believed "the things" regarding the kingdom of heaven and the name of Jesus for why they were being water baptized, instead of saying they believed in Jesus Christ.

It comes across to me that they believed about the Good News but their sights were on Philip instead as if he was the one doing all those miracles.

The fact that Simon had thought Peter & John were giving people the Holy Ghost and had thought he could buy that power to do this also, shows not only Simon's sight needed to be lifted higher, but so did the potential believers as well.

It is discerned for why the event with the Ethiopian Eunuch had occurred because readers may think Philip had goofed in serving Him in the ministry earlier but that was because people were looking to Philip for a sign or miracles as they regarded the Simon by his infamy for afflicting the people with unclean spirits.

To be continued... God be willing...

Romans 8:9 But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.

You either have the Holy Spirit or you do not but since you are a fellow believer in Jesus Christ, there is no question that you are always Spirit-filled as a witness from God that He has saved you.

Matthew 9:17 Neither do men put new wine into old bottles: else the bottles break, and the wine runneth out, and the bottles perish: but they put new wine into new bottles, and both are preserved.

So saved believers are not a leaky vessel for why all those who come to & believe in Jesus Christ shall hunger nor thirst to be filled any more with the Holy Spirit.

John 6:35 And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.

To do so is to deny His words above and wind up preaching another Jesus, another spirit and thus another gospel to receive.

2 Corinthians 11:1Would to God ye could bear with me a little in my folly: and indeed bear with me. 2 For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ. 3 But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ. 4 For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him.

2 Corinthians 13:5 Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?

No more filling of the Holy Spirit.

Since scripture cannot go against scripture, Ephesians 5:18 in context is just a call to remain sober as be filled ( past tense ) with the Holy Spirit & not get drunk by wine.

To be continued... God be willing....

One thing has been overlooked about Acts 2 Day of Pentecost is that after His disciples had spoken in tongues and Peter had presented the gospel, telling them of the promise of the Holy Spirit for all those that believe, the new believers of devout Jews from many nations on the earth, did not mention that they had spoken in tongues.

Acts 2:36 Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath made the same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ. 37 Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do? 38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. 39 For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call. 40 And with many other words did he testify and exhort, saying, Save yourselves from this untoward generation. 41 Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls. 42 And they continued stedfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers.

So when the event in Acts 10 had occurred, because the Gentiles did speak in tongues, it was there, that some of the Jews that were saved, had spoken in tongues as the Gentiles did, but not by hyping about the promise of the Holy Spirit or seeking a baptism of the Holy Ghost BUT by preaching believing in Jesus Christ.

Acts 10:43 To him give all the prophets witness, that through his name whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins. 44 While Peter yet spake these words, the Holy Ghost fell on all them which heard the word. 

45 And they of the circumcision which believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because that on the Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the Holy Ghost. 46 For they heard them speak with tongues, and magnify God. Then answered Peter, 47 Can any man forbid water, that these should not be baptized, which have received the Holy Ghost as well as we? 48 And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord. Then prayed they him to tarry certain days.

Since other Jews have been saved since that day at Pentecost, it would be difficult to prove the new converted Jews in Acts 2 had spoken in tongues when it was not written that they had.

But the truth of the matter is that when it came to the Gentiles, no mention of the baptism of the Holy Spirit was made, let alone to seek that by that sign of tongues for Acts 2 nor Acts 10, and so the question is;  

Is this an offense to Jesus Christ to hype that seeking a baptism with the Holy Ghost by that sign of tongues or with evidence of tongues when He has said this?

Matthew 12:38 Then certain of the scribes and of the Pharisees answered, saying, Master, we would see a sign from thee. 39 But he answered and said unto them, An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas: 40 For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.

I'd say yes.

I find 22 verses that speak of tongues. They all lead me to think when anyone speaks in Tongues it is the tongue of another human language and must be interpreted at that time. I find not one verse that indicated one can speak in a tongue that no human can interpret.
