msc said "But this leads to a new and unbiblical doctrine among them: Certain gifts ceased but others didn't. Error begets error."Amen to that. If the gift of healing stopped for instance, why do they bother praying for healing? Is James 5:14-15 now considered unscriptural as, God forbid, someone got healed when a prayer was offered for them? And why do they make such a hullaballoo over tongues and healing? Last I checked there were 9 gifts of the Spirit in total: A word or utterance of wisdom (1), of knowledge(2), the gift of faith (3), healing (4), the working of miracles (5), the gift of prophecy (6), discernment or distinguishing between spirits (7), tongues (8) and the interpretation of tongues (9). |

Remo said "1 Corinthians 14:5 I would that ye all spake with tongues, but rather that ye prophesied: for greater is he that prophesieth than he that speaketh with tongues, except he interpret, that the church may receive edifying. "except he interpret" end again your mis understanding." Let's try that verse in Modern English shall we? From the ESV: "The one who prophesies is greater than the one who speaks in tongues, unless someone interprets, so that the church may be built up." Now what he is saying is that the one who prophesies is greater than he who speaks in a tongue, unless that tongue is interpreted, then the one who had the interpreted tongue would be greater than the one who prophesied. Paul is not saying "don't speak in tongues for surely I tell you, after John dies all tongues shall be of the devil!" Rather he is saying that it would be better for the churh that is currently gathered in that one place to hear words spoken in their langauge that they might understand, ie, don't bring the sermon in tongues or bring a word in tongues cause what's the point, noone will understand! He is not forbidding the use of tongues as a private prayer language nor as a means of worship, he's exhorting us to bring order into the church. |
