What you are saying and have been saying since the first thread I read about your idea of speaking in tongues is you claim there is a supernatural power in speaking in tongues, you claim to heal people by speaking in tongues to or over them, that you can control and use this supernatural power any time you want by triggering it by speaking in tongues
Gene, I never said that one time. I never mentioned tongues heals anyone. Please don't make things up I never said or even hinted at.
Paul never taught us how to pray in tongues and no where in the New Testament do we find a supernatural power or anointing on a person speaking in tongues to heal, exorcise or anything else
Once again, I never said that. Don't be a false witness against me. Up till now i thought you were pretty awesome brother.
Paul tells us prophesying is more important than speaking in tongues
1 Cor 14:15, but you don't believe that, you refuse to believe what Paul clearly taught in
1 Cor 12:28-30 that not everyone will speak in tongues, you refuse to believe that I have taken
1 Cor 12:31 as a life verse for myself and have coveted earnestly the best gift, better than speaking in tongues, you my friend are tunneled visioned, you only see one thing and that is why I voiced my concern for you and your son concerning the rewards you will receive or have burned up at the Bema seat of Christ.
Paul said I rather ye prophesies. That is not something we choose to do but as the Spirit distributes.
You deny the authority of the Word in your life, you pick and chose what you want to believe, take your story, you prayed in tongues over a brother, a believer, and you claim the Holy Spirit answered you for him and chasing away the devils, ...but Scripture plainly states that tongues are for unbelievers
1 Cor 14:22, so which is it, was he not a believer or the Holy Spirit went against the written Word?
I deny what Gene? Really? I never said I prayed in tongues over any brother. I never said the Holy Spirit chased any devil away. I said my nose was cut by one.
It's you that are not reading all the scriptures, it would not be me. Your also claiming I said things I never even mentioned.
1Co 14:22 Wherefore tongues are for a sign, not to them that believe,
but to them that believe not: but prophesying serveth not for them that believe not, but for them which believe.
It's a sign Gene, that is it. It does not mean we just use tongues when unbelievers are around. It's just a sign.
1Co 14:39 Wherefore, brethren, covet to prophesy,
and forbid not to speak with tongues.
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.
(1Co 14:5)
Paul said He would rather we what? All speak with tongues, and if one interpret it will edify the unbelievers? No the whole church.
The scripture PLAINLY STATES tongues is just for the unbeliever?
He that speaketh in an unknown tongue
edifieth himself; but he that prophesieth edifieth the church.
(1Co 14:4)
It's a sign to the unbeliever how about it's also for Edifying yourself.
For if I pray in an unknown tongue,
my spirit prayeth, but my understanding is unfruitful. 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.
(1Co 14:14-15)
Speaking in tongues, Paul said it's called "Praying in the Spirit" That something your not interested in? We only pray in the spirit in front of unbelievers?
If therefore the whole church be come together into one place, and all speak with tongues, and there come in those that are unlearned, or
unbelievers, will they not say that ye are mad?
(1Co 14:23)
If tongues was just only for unbelievers why would they say were are mad if the whole church is praying in tongues when a unbeliever walks in?
could it be you have taken one scripture out of context to prove me wrong? I think that is the case.
So, instead of me denying the Authority of the Word of God, why don't you accuse yourself of not even taking time to read the whole chapter? That would be more the case here.
Also please stop lying and saying things I never said. I never said tongues healed anyone, I never said I chased devils away with tongues and I never said I prayed over anyone in tongues. Lying is not a good thing Gene, you should know that.
