Speaking in Tongues:
I hope to show all: the importance and benefits of speaking in tongues.
(1 Corinthians 14:4-6)
4.He that speaketh in an unknown tongue edifieth himself; but he that prophesieth edifieth the church.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.
6.Now, brethren, if I come unto you speaking with tongues, what shall I profit you, except I shall speak to you either by revelation, or by knowledge, or by prophesying, or by doctrine?
In 1 Corinthians chapters:12-15,
Paul is talking controling the gifts of the Holy Spirt. People at this church were speaking in tongues with no iterpertion. These tongues come with the filling of the Holy Sprit.
(1Corinthians 14:4)
He that speaketh in an unknown tongue edifieth himself; but he that prophesieth edifieth the church.
I want to talk about the filling of the Holy Sprit; (How do you know you are filled?)
A. By faith! If you ask you shall recieve.
I want to talk about the filling of the Holy Sprit; (How do you know you are filled?)
A. By faith! If you ask you shall recieve.
(Matthew 7:8)
B.You speak in tongues. (Acts 1:5-8)
"The Apostles were not yet filled with the Holy Sprit."
5.For John truly baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence.6.When they therefore were come together, they asked of him, saying, Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel?
7.And he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power.
8.But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.
(Acts 1: 1-4)
1.And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place.2.And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.
3.And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them.
4.And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.
(John 20:19-22)
19.Then the same day at evening, being the first day of the week, when the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled for fear of the Jews, came Jesus and stood in the midst, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you.20.And when he had so said, he showed unto them his hands and his side. Then were the disciples glad, when they saw the Lord.
21.Then said Jesus to them again, Peace be unto you: as my Father hath sent me, even so send I you.
22.And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and saith unto them, Receive ye the Holy Ghost:
(1 Corinthians: 14-18)
14.For if I pray in an unknown tongue, my spirit prayeth, but my understanding is unfruitful.15.What is it then? I will pray with the spirit, and I will pray with the understanding also: I will sing with the spirit, and I will sing with the understanding also.
16.Else when thou shalt bless with the spirit, how shall he that occupieth the room of the unlearned say Amen at thy giving of thanks, seeing he understandeth not what thou sayest?
17.For thou verily givest thanks well, but the other is not edified.
18.I thank my God, I speak with tongues more than ye all:
"Tongues is the prefect pray language!"
(1 Coritnhians 13:1)
1.Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity,[Love] I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.
This is where Paul is filled with the Sprit.(Atcs9:17)
17.And Ananias went his way, and entered into the house; and putting his hands on him said, Brother Saul, the Lord, even Jesus, that appeared unto thee in the way as thou camest, hath sent me, that thou mightest receive thy sight, and be filled with the Holy Ghost.
"Yes you can be saved and not filled with the Holy Sprit."
(Acts 19:1-7)
Paul met some disciples of John the Baptist. He thought they were believers in the Lord Jesus, because they talked so much about repentance. Paul, unaware that they were only disciples of John, yet knowing something was missing in these men, asked them an obvious question,
"Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed?"
The question itself proves that Paul, including the early church, believed that it was possible to be a believer in Jesus without having received the Holy Spirit. If receiving the Holy Spirit was automatic at conversion, then why did Paul asked the question, "Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed?"
