In the letters of Paul he says to people speaking in tongues that are not intelligible by the congregation without an interpreter to be quiet and pray in private. I Corinthians 14:27
To be honest i am scared when i see things like that. I rarely go to churches because of that. But a fact in the Bible. THOU SHALL NOT SPEAK TONGUES IN CHURCH WITHOUT A REAL INTERPRETER! Throughout all of 1 Corinthians it is said. 14:2,7,9,11,15,27,28,33. By the way in verse 11 it says Barbarian. This is not good. You'll be amazed of what is said. I love this type of things in the Bible.
Baptists believe that speaking in tongues, along with prophecy, and some of the other special gifts are not for today...they were just for back then in the Bible and that God never meant us to continue it into today. As an AG member, raised Baptist, I can say that I was missing something until I stepped into an AG church and learned about the Holy Spirit and speaking in tongues. While not essential, it is an awesome benefit. Why the Baptists seem to think there aren't those spiritual gifts today, I don't know. Not all Baptsits believe the exact same thing. Some Baptists believe that when the Bible references "speaking in tongues" it should be translated as "other languages"and that it does not refer to random noises that nobody can translate.
No. A Pentecostal church is a church that believes in speaking in other tongues. A non-denominational church is a Christian church that doesn't claim any specific denomination of Christianity. Many non-denominational churches speak in tongues, though.
As one who has belonged to a Pentecostal church for almost ten years, I can say emphatically that the answer is no. I have never met a Pentecostal who thinks so. We believe that salvation is by faith in Christ and in his death for our sins on the cross, nothing else. Belonging to an organization, Pentecostal or otherwise, has nothing to do with salvation.AnswerI do believe that you must emphatically have the pentecostal tongues as mention in the book of Acts. You must be born again!! I just want to add that to speak in tongues does not equeal being born again. One can be born-again, without speaking in tongues.Tongues is NOT a sign of being born-again. The bible tells us that the only sign of this is "fruit". In other words, if you're truly born-again, your life-style and actions will show it! Tongues is a "gift", and gifts are given out to whoever God wills to give them too, so not everybody suppossedly can/should/will speak in tongues. The bible tells us that where tongues are spoken, an interpreter should be there to interpret what is being said. Tongues are supposed to be "foreign existing earthly languages" but often that is not the case! That is why an interpreter is supposed Tobe present!
I do not know the answer to your question, but I can say something about the speaking in tongues. God blesses men to be able to speak in the language of the people they are addressing, even though they have never spoken that language before. He will also bless a people to understand what a person is saying even when he speaks in his own tongue. The one is the Gift of Tongues and the other is the gift of Interpretation of tongues. Speak not in the gift of tongues witout understanding it, or without interpretation.
Without Pentecost, Christians would not have received the Holy Spirit, as recounted in the Bible. This event is considered the birth of the Christian church and is essential to the faith. It is celebrated as a significant event in the church calendar.
Only if it is required. As speaking in tongues is the ability to speak in another language of the world for the spreading of the gospel message. True Bible tongues is only required on the mission field.
The church may forbid its members from speaking in tongues due to concerns about maintaining order and ensuring that communication is clear and understood by all. Some churches may also believe that speaking in tongues should be reserved for specific spiritual contexts or that it can be misinterpreted or misused.
Paul had much to say about tongues, most of which has been of grossly mis-interpretation. The Greek word "glossa" is interpretid "tongues" in the New Testament as has the Hebrew word "lashown" in the old and simply means language. The need for speaking in another language or tongue was most important for missionary work and for Jews comming to Jerusalem from other countries, though God is the ultimate and consumate interpreter. The importance or lack of Paul addressed clearly in the fourteenth chapter of first Corinthians. Following are a few verses: 1Cor 14:5, 6, 22, 23, 27 and 28. Instructions are here that dictate that tongues, however one may view them, are not to employed unless an interpreter is present. Tongues are a sign to unbelievers as you will read so the typical usage is mis-used and unscriptural.
Not unlike a Christian church service, without the dominance of Christianity. The services also vary....
The ones that I know of do believe that.
