Thanku for sharing God bless you

Was it ORU?

Yes, in the early 1970’s, till 1973 when I went into the Air Force.

@@sgvern1 at the exact same time I was attending a small junior college in northeastern Colorado also seeking to speak in tongues not realizing I had done it alone years before while working on our farm while driving a tractor. I attended ORU in 85-86 in Seminary but did nor graduate.

I have just started listening to this pastor love it. Always backs up what he teaches with a bible verse

I agree❤

For sure. An amazing teacher

Absolutely agree

Amén!! Me too!!

I totally agree. He explains so perfectly!

On the day of Pentecost the Holy Spirit descended upon the disciples in the Upper Room with a physical sign of cloven tongues of fire. One of the signs is speaking in tongues (languages) among other gifts yet the evangelical world uses it as the only sign that you are anointed with the Holy Spirit. Wrong. It is ONE of the gifts. Please note this particular gift is to speak in another language and not the babbling the evangelical world speak. Paul cautions that if you wish to speak in an unknown tongue someone else should be present who can interpret it, if not you need to hold your peace because God is not the author of confusion. The Holy Spirit uses that person who speaks in another tongue to edify those who are listening.

You also are easily deluded and deceived

@Carolyn .. Jesus Christ loves you so much. He has led you to listen to His truth about tongues so that .. to assure you He loves you .. and so that you can now ASK .. and receive.... THAT YOUR JOY MAY BE COMPLETE. A good teacher of the Word of God - like this pastor - is a precious gift from God to His precious saints. It makes a great difference. It affects many people for the good. Glory to God in the highest.

You are not less than adequate because you don’t speak in tongues

I would get out of there ASAP...primarily because its pentacostal.

@rickcovington1358 The spirit prays for us. God is a spirit and those that worship him must worship in spirit and truth. The spirit prays for us. God is a spirit and those that worship him must worship in spirit and truth. when one receives the baptism of the Holy Ghost one only needs to praise God and let the spirit pray for us with sounds that no man can duplicate as we do not know what we should pray for as we should but the spirit himself makes intercession for us. Paraphrased Romans 8: 26, 27

So beautiful.. you can feel that again. Pray and worship.. God is the same yesterday ,today and always.. God bless you.

Those preachers are the ones that are confused. You don't have to feel bad because of their ignorance. The confusion is theirs not yours.

@Jean - I think those preachers you refer to are talking about those who utter gibberish, believing it to be tongues. That is what they are likely labelling as unbiblical.

In Acts 2 the evidence of receiving the Holy Ghost was tongues. People heard of all nations their own languages. God takes over our most unruly member the tongue at rebirth of the Spirit. Pastors in tongues have told men how to be saved in Spanish and other languages....God uses them mightily. Repent and be baptized in the name of "Jesus Christ" and the gift is promised to you. Gather, Son and Holy Ghost are Jesus' titles...not his name. ACTS 2:38, Matt. 28: 19...in the name of Jesus said...not plural. In Acts all baptized in Jesus name. It's the name of Salvation. Tongues is proof we got the gift also. Praying in tongues as we don't know what to pray for always. God guides our mouth.

@@TheIrishMegaphone true tongues of the spirit does sound like gibberish that no man can understand. It is more sounds than anything that we can deem as words. It is the voice of the spirit speaking a heavenly language. People think in terms of the ways of man and expect it to sound as similar to earth languages. now the gift of tongues is different than our prayer language. It is earth languages spoken through us to someone that we don't know their language. we will be speaking our language but they will hear their own.

Not all speak in tongues!😊

Speaking in tongues and not understanding what you say is not fruitful for oneself nor is it fruitful for the body of Christ. There is no use for it. It was not even done until the mid-1800s with the roof starting it called the shakers that is the first time it was done, a so-called Christian sect. In 1901 Agnes Osman of the Pentecostals supposedly spoken Chinese for three days. She supposedly also wrote in Chinese for three days, and linguist came in to examine the phenomenon only To explain that it was not a language at all. It was incoherent babbling. A mission was set up after this for the Pentecostal to go and preach the Bible worldwide, because it was thought that the spirit had fallen on the people, and they would be able to speak in the language of the place where they arrived. This did not happen you had missions to India and the people were lost, unable to make out basic directions much less preach the gospel. just as other cults and religious fanatical teachers the religion then changed to suit the craziness, and it was taught that this was an angelic tongue. The gifts of tones is not a real gift folks. It was at one time when it was needed for furthering the gospel but it has since passed and has not been recorded since 150 years of the church that is 150 AD. Now there is another gift in the Hindu sect called the kundalini where people jump around and babble it is when the third eye is opened this is demonic.

Paul also goes on in the same chapter to say, although he has faith to move mountains, yeah, we don’t see Paul commanding mountains to move across continents. He was using an extreme example not a literal just an extreme.

I am paraphrasing here but the Pastor basically said... none of the Bible translations were perfect, but since he grew up with the KJV that was his go to Bible.

You also are easily deluded and deceived

A good teacher of the Word of God - like this pastor - is a precious gift from God to His precious saints. It makes a greaat difference. It affects many people for the good. Glory to God in the highest.

Thank you so much❤

1 Corinthians 14:8:9; If you do not know the meaning of the words, that you are speaking, then you are speaking into the air. (The air have no need of your speech).

​@@dmitriyp6056this verse is in the context of the gifts of the Spirit of tongues and interpretation. There are other uses of speaking in tongues taught in the Bible. Getting hung up on tongues and interpretation and ignoring the other uses is the cause of your confusion. This man is teaching this. Maybe listen?

Roger, perhaps you should also. You do recall that it says to forbid not the use of tongues, because when both tongues and the interpretation of tongues are in use its the equivalent of prophesy, right? To add....when prophesy is in play....when the unlearned and /or lost come in (to a service) that when one is prophesying the secrets of the heart are revealed, and they (the lost &/ or unlearnd) will proclaim God is with you and run to Him.

The unbeliever is speaking of Christians who don't believe in the manifestations of the Spirit, not unsaved people. The whole context is about believers coming together as a church.

It would be better to read the whole Bible and discover the other teachings on the subject of tongues.

Thank you

Your advice is good. The broader context is that of the whole book. The Corinthian church was a well established church which had gone astray and was misusing the gifts as they strived for position and prestige while ignoring blatant sin. Just as bad was their neglect of the poorer members of the church. Paul’s call is for them to set aside personal agendas and misuse of the gifts while coming together in unity. Paul didn’t wish to curtail the use of gifts, rather he desired correct understanding of their purpose. Above all is his admonishment that love reigns supreme that God’s Church not become a mockery. You did well to remind us of content and context as the basis of study. Blessings.

Yes, he is a fantastic teacher, and well anointed to do so I also learned so much from his sermons 🙏

Wonderful give me the gift

Yes, I do like a lot of Evangelical preachers as well, like Through the Bible with the late Dr. J. Vernon McGee. But I’ve notice that were against the Gifts of the HG being for now. But I had already experienced the baptism of fire!! They were too late, thank goodness.

This is going to upset some for saying so, but those who teach through intellect rather than the Spirit, usually are the one's who aren't Baptised in the Holy Spirit. As such there's always 'something they don't understand' when it comes to Scripture. Why? Because they're relying on self and or what other's have taught them....instead of the Holy Spirit (as is His job and one of his attributes).

@@cindyreeves5048 why don’t the evangelical believe in speaking in tounges I’m just trying to learn

Do not throw the baby out with the bath water. All humans are imperfect. The larger Christian world doesn’t believe in the spiritual gifts. Take what is good from preachers sermons and lay the doubtful into God’s hands. I am not a Calvinist theologian but Pentecostal by personal conviction and experience. I listen to different preachers, study Scripture, read and compare, pray and wait on answers, and continue to treat other Christians of opposite opinions with consideration where possible. As I grow older I have become more and more aware of my own ability to be wrong or misguided in my thinking. May God bless you with patience for our imperfections.

Yes, Amen!

​@@cindyreeves5048 Absolutley rong !

Wow I'm 73, and I had the same thought! Now that's being in one accord! 🙏 😊

​@@selahchunem8447I was aware of the Holy Spirits' presence around me and was filled with the Spirit before i ever recieved the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is recieved as the result of the Holy Spirit baptism. Thats why John made such a point of saying that he baptized with water, but he that would come after him would baptize with the Holy Spirit. A believer must fervently pray for the Lord to fill him with the Holy Spirit until He answers their prayer and does so. Then they must surrender their tongue to the Holy Spirit( When it happened for me i just opened my mouth and relaxed my tongue). Continue to do so until the Spirit confirms that you have recieved the Holy Spirit by enabling you to speak in the spiritual language that our English translation calls " tongues". What do you have to lose by trying it ? Speaking in " tongues" is the only sign given un scripture of believers recieving the Holy Spirit when they recieved. Don't let pride stop you from at least giving it your best effort friend.

Why don't you read the bible and you will have tongues explained without being stooged so well by expert agents of Satan.

Scolded? By whom? How awful. yes Pastor Allen always has me listening fully when he preaches, just wish I knew what denomination he belongs to so I could find a church /that believes in his understanding of Scripture. thanks for posting!!

Thank you for posting that testimony, and for your words of wisdom at the end about the gift not being for everyone, and it NOT meaning you're missing the Holy Spirit if He has not given you this specific gift. Thank you, and God Bless!

@@TD-wi1zh So glad you read my comment, and thank you for your kind response. I prayed about this happening many times. I truly believe that tongues cannot be forced or summoned. It happens when God wants it to happen... or not at all. Also tongues are a real language of complexity, not a mantra of ba-be-da's. May God give you peace.

Sounds great I wish that would happen to me! My name is Denise sister and I live in Portland Oregon. Please say a prayer that God will lead me on this also. This is the first teaching I've heard from this guy and yeah it made sense as far as translation and more. No I have never spoke in tongues. When I have heard others do it at least some that I have heard.. well hey who am I to judge! Bring it on my Lord and Savior! I almost died 7 years ago after being carjacked and kicked in the head a bunch of times. Traumatic brain injury. That is what it took for me to stop doing h and benzos after a couple decades of use! That is also what it took while I was lying there bleeding for me to tell God I was sorry and to please help me and I have been studying daily and listening to his words. I've been listening to living Waters ministry also and many others. Don't know why I'm sharing all this with you but you seem like well... you've seen a few things?

Did the Holy Spirit lead you here to learn the truth ? Did Christ THROUGH Paul teach wrongly ? 1 Cor 8 Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away.

Well you might continue to Wait forever without receiving any. Will you wait for a gift that's already at your disposal? No, same with the gift of Tongues, if you have faith, and ask for it then you'll get it, but you have to yield to him while He comes upon you and how do you know He's come upon you? It's by faith and by faith you receive by speaking it out by faith according to the utterances He put in you mouth. You speak it out

@@HouseOnTheRockOfChrist thanks for your response. I definitely have a lot of faith when it comes to the gifts of the Holy Spirit but one thing I know and as pastor Allen said “you cannot force it” it has to come to a person through faith. He said that he waited for 6 months if I remember correctly.

What I believe after listening to both sides of the isle. * The gift of the Holy Spirit is promised to us. * The gift of the Holy Spirit is worth waiting for. * The gift of the Holy Spirit comes as He wills, often not according to our expectation. * The gift of the Holy Spirit can come upon not only individuals, but also upon groups * The gift of the Holy Spirit is often given as God deals with the flesh and there is a dying to self * The gift of the Holy Spirit is not given according to formula. * We can not earn the gift of the Holy Spirit by our seeking. ¶ The Gift of Tongues: * Languages that they were never taught, and they spoke these languages, speaking as the Spirit gave them utterance. ¶ The Purpose: * Given as a sign to unbelievers * a Gift of communication between the believer and God beyond the limits of knowledge and understanding * The purpose of the manifestation of the Spirit is to benefit the whole church family, not just a particular individual. * The purpose of tongues is not to prove that we are “filled with the Spirit” or to prove that we are especially spiritual ¶ Groaning * The Groaning of the Spirit is not the gift of tongues * As the creation and believers both groan for ultimate restoration, the Spirit does as well. * This work of the Holy Spirit parallels the high priestly work of intercession by the Lord Jesus on behalf of believers

You are ready when you stop putting religious requirements about deserving it. It's a gift just like salvation. You must believe you will receive it when you ask. You believe God wants you to have it, you ask, and receive. If you are born again, you qualify.

​@@HouseOnTheRockOfChrist The gifts of the Spirit are not subject to our will, and are not a matter of our faith or lack thereof. They are subject to the Spirit of God, given as He wills and ONLY as He Wills. It is not a matter of faith, and not for you or any one else to tell someone they don't have a gift because of a lack of faith. It is a matter of God choosing for someone to have the gift, nothing more or less to it. There are gifts I desperately desire, including healing and faith. I would give up the gift of tongues in a heartbeat if it meant I could have more faith or see people healed around me.

HERE IS A BETTER MESSAGE. No man can be his own teacher in regard to the soul's eternal interest. If we are daily looking unto Jesus, who is the Author and Finisher of our faith, we shall come to correct decisions. We will make straight paths for our feet. We will be following on to know the Lord. The Lord Jesus says, "I will be your teacher. Learn of me, for I am meek and lowly of heart. I will be your light." "Light is sown for the righteous, and gladness for the upright in heart." Psalm 97:11.12 We need more than human wisdom to know how to act, how to speak, how to pray, how to give counsel. Do you think Satan wants this school to be carried on where his word cannot be carried out, where you will perfect Christian characters? Does he want that? Every student here has an influence, and there is an unconscious influence that surrounds every one of you. It is as poisonous as hell, or it is from Jesus Christ. The fragrance of Christ's character makes you a savor of life unto life. We want Jesus to abide with us, and we open our soul temple and invite him in. He says, "If ye abide in me and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will and it shall be done unto you." John 15:7. There is the promise, and the condition. Can you do just as you please and think that you can come to Christ at any time and ask Him for anything that you want? No, you do not know how to pray. What we want is to know how to pray intelligently, how to speak intelligently and how to live intelligently as in the sight of God and the whole universe of Heaven. And God will help everyone of us. We need not to be destitute of His help, for God will give us grace upon grace. WHAT ARE YOU ASKING FOR WHEN YOU BABBLE??? The spiritual education of the child begins in the home. The mother, as the first teacher, should teach her children how to pray, by having them repeat a simple prayer after her. The Saviour dwells in the homes of those who teach their children to pray for His blessing to rest upon them. The saving power of the grace of God will be given to such fathers and mothers. - When Jesus was upon the earth, He taught His disciples how to pray. He directed them to present their daily needs before God, and to cast all their care upon Him. And the assurance He gave them that their petitions should be heard, is assurance also to us.CSA 26.4 Jesus Himself, while He dwelt among men, was often in prayer. Our Saviour identified Himself with our needs and weakness, in that He became a suppliant, a petitioner, seeking from His Father fresh supplies of strength, that He might come forth braced for duty and trial. He is our example in all things. He is a brother in our infirmities, "in all points tempted like as we are;" but as the sinless one His nature recoiled from evil; He endured struggles and torture of soul in a world of sin. His humanity made prayer a necessity and a privilege. He found comfort and joy in communion with His Father. And if the Saviour of men, the Son of God, felt the need of prayer, how much more should feeble, sinful mortals feel the necessity of fervent, constant prayer.

Exactly!

You can know God‘s will by reading the Bible. God gave his word so that all might know him and believe. It’s an instruction manual for those who seek his will. Think of it this way if God gave you an instruction manual would it be wise to ignore it and keep asking him for personal teaching? When you don’t know the Bible meaning seek wise counsel for further explanation God is faithful and will reveal his will to you.

God's will is in the bible. Reading his word will reveal to you his will. * God's will to be done on earth 🌎 as it already is in heaven * WE are to walk in King Jesus's Dominion- kingdom. * Spread the gospel of Christ * Make disciples for Christ and mentor people . * WE are to heal the sick *WE are to cast out demons * WE are to be a blessing to others Etc

​​@@mkaealcThere's an awful lot of scripture in the Bible. The question is, which verse is the one that God says applies to the situation that you need to pray about? You could hazard a guess and be completely wrong. You could arbitrarily pick the first verse that comes to your mind, based on your human intellect and reasoning. But scripture warns us not to do that although that's exactly what we do. When you ask the Lord and you hear from the Lord, then you know which scripture to apply. Or if the Holy Spirit gives you the utterance of tongues, then it's not going to be anything less than 100% the will of the Lord.

​@@craigfryer7167 in order it's... Spread the Gospel, (i.e. speak / say the gospel "In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, the virgin born son of God, who takes away the sins of the world." ) Cast out demons, Heal the sick, cleanse the leper, & speak in new tongues. And I say this bc the order can be imperative sometimes to success. Sometimes you cannot heal until you cast out a spirit. 🕊🔥🙌🏽🙏🏼

So you dont agree with the clear teaching in scripture?

That's a weird story. But his faith as our needs to be centered in Christ. Not men. Perhaps God told him about the pastor in his own Japanese. He showed the truth to warn him. Pray for him that he finds faith in Christ alone.

That definitely was NOT the Holy Spirit that so called preacher was being spoken through, but a devil, your friend was right to leave that church. Only the devil would make one speak blasphemy against God.

Same with Nazarenes and many other denominations.

Same here. But in Baptist Churches (in Brazil) we take a little more seriously speaking in languages because the Bible says it should always be followed by someone translating it. So, in addition, in many cases, people use this gift for pride, so we always expected someone with the gift of translating it (which is nearly never the case).

Have you ever seen someone translate it?? In another room? and tested it??

Can anyone miraculously “speak in tongues” today, in the biblical sense? Absolutely not! Since no one can speak in tongues in the biblical sense, then obviously what people who claim they can are doing something other than biblical tongue speaking. Therefore, should we encourage anyone who thinks he can speak in tongues to go ahead and do so anyway? The answer is NO!

See Matt:7:11; Luke 11:13; please read and study.

​@@kac0404I agree except I do let GOD be GOD. If HE put the gift on me & the Holy Spirit empowered me to do so itvwould happen. Doing it on my own as I prayed & waited for the Spirit to take control of my tongue was a mistake.

I am sure that there are those that are vessels for GOD that are used to heal or even speak in another language but it is no way like the charasmatic & pentacostal church

@earlwhite3760 In the epistles, speaking in tongues is discussed only in I Corinthians. It is listed as one of the “spiritual gifts” in I Corinthians 12:10, 28, 30. Paul mentions speaking “in the tongues of men and of angels” (I Corinthians 13:1) in comparison with love, pointing out the absolute necessity of love. Then the apostle plainly teaches that the miraculous spiritual gifts, including “tongues” would pass from the scene when that “which is perfect is come.” “Love never fails; but if {there are gifts of} prophecy, they will be done away; if {there are} tongues, they will cease; if {there is} knowledge, it will be done away. For we know in part, and we prophesy in part; but when the perfect comes, the partial will be done away” (1 Cor 13:8-10). When the full revelation of God’s will for man was complete (the Lord’s last will and testament) then there would no longer be any need for the temporary measures designed to assist the early church in its infancy. But while the church was in its infancy, and before God’s revelation was completed, there was a need for special help to be given by God. This need was supplied by the exercise of the spiritual gifts.
