Tongues were NOT for women

[jgb321]

I know this is a controversial subject (hence why I wrote on it), but my study into the NT, interestingly showed me that women did NOT receive this apostolic gift:

So those who were at penticost were only men...out of all that crowd there was not one female....

bible mentions only men when in referance to salvation.....so does that too mean no women can be saved....sorry your theory is well of.

but then I dont believe in speaking in tongues anyway.

Acts 2 only has MEN speaking in tongues (vs. 8 and 13) will show you this.

Since I had children I've been known to speak in tongues. Although it could also be called, censoring myself.

There are certain times of the month I speak in tongues, too. . . But I think that is hormonal not spiritual.

yep and the bible when written women were 5th below worms and not mentioned much...so this is not surprising....

now if you carry on reading the bible you will also find referances to women speaking in tongues...its right there in acts...keep reading it.

That's not right. There were women in that room when the Holy Spirit came upon them. Women were teaching in tongues alongside the men in that room.

Don't start with the heresy that women aren't to exercise that gift. God bestows all his gifts to women as well.

Acts 2:1-4

On the day of Pentecost all the believers were meeting together in one place. Suddenly, there was a sound from heaven like the roaring of a mighty windstorm, and it filled the house where they were sitting. Then, what looked like flames or tongues of fire appeared and settled on each of them. And everyone present was filled with the Holy Spirit and began speaking in other languages, as the Holy Spirit gave them this ability.

Where, oh where does it say men here? ALL believers includes female and youth. Give us all a break and cease your divisive attitude.

Please show me where in Acts this is stated?

That may be so, but it doesn't prove they spoke in tongues.

All believers means all believers, There is no proof that women and youth were not there. You are just being divisive.

Verses 14-18:

Then Peter stepped forward with the eleven other apostles and shouted to the crowd, “Listen carefully, all of you, fellow Jews and residents of Jerusalem! Make no mistake about this. 15 These people are not drunk, as some of you are assuming. Nine o’clock in the morning is much too early for that. 16 No, what you see was predicted long ago by the prophet Joel: 17 ‘In the last days,’ God says,

‘I will pour out my Spirit upon all people.

Your sons and daughters will prophesy.

Your young men will see visions,

and your old men will dream dreams.

18 In those days I will pour out my Spirit

even on my servants—men and women alike—

and they will prophesy.

It is very likely that there were at least 130 believers in that room...the whole believing community there as mentioned in Chapter 1. They were not only men.

My article proves that women were not the recipients of this gift, nor children either. The pronouns in the AV back this up.

Why is this in 'apologetics'?
