An honest question to cessationists

Again - I refer anyone interested to watch the 19 hour Strange Fire Conference. It's enlightening and scriptural. I've said my piece - like Major, I'm done.

Apparently @Fish Catcher Jim, you think that my deciding that tongues used today doesn't match scripture gives me a bias. I say what I think is true, not what I don't think is true. Hiding my treasures in heaven does fit and is scriptural. I don't need tongues to sign I am full of the Holy Spirit. I believe without sign. That is also scriptural. I have heard tongues spoken and it's not a pretty language. Google it. I have heard clips from the 40's all the way to within the last year. I have no reason to think either you or Euphemia are not loving Christians. But I have seen where Word of Faith/Prosperity/charismatics leads. You get things like "drunk in the Spirit" special "annointing" and "Holy Spirit Hokey Pokey". I will remind you hokey pokey comes from hocus pocus - a magical occult phrase.

Paul describes both manifestations of tongues: private prayer and public prophetic.

Public Gift of Tongues
1. Spoken with interpretation to the church (Equal to prophecy-1 Corinthians 14:5)

2. To be interpreted (1 Corinthians 14:5)

3. Edifies the church (when interpreted-1 Corinthians 14:4-5)

4. A sign to unbelievers, pointing to Jesus Christ (1 Corinthians 14:22)


Personal Prayer Tongues
1. Spoken privately to God (1 Corinthians 14:2)

2. No interpretation necessary (1 Corinthians 14:28)

3. Edifies the individual believer (1 Corinthians 14:4)

4. Can be manifested when no unbelievers are present (Acts 10:46; 19:6)

5. Should be desired and practiced by Christians (Mark 16:17; 1 Corinthians 14:5; Ephesians 6:18; Jude 1:20 ).

I am not in favour of the purpose of that conference. It's a cessationist platform.

@Abdicate and @Euphemia .....sounds like you got a witnesses up in here :ROFLMAO: and the spirit of Joy :LOL:
 
Obviously Jesus here is talking about the "new birth" as he refers to the water that he will give man will result in "a well of water springing up into everlasting life"

Joh 4:13.. Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again:
Joh 4:14.. But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.

Here Jesus is NOT talking about the "new birth" but about someone who is already a believer. Jesus clearly says, "But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive:". Those who are already a believer should receive!!! Receive what? The Holy Spirit.

Joh 7:37.. In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink.
Joh 7:38.. He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.
Joh 7:39.. (But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.)

There is a huge deference between a "springing up of a well" as in the new birth, to a "flow of rivers of living water" by being baptized in the Holy Spirit with the evidence of speaking in tongues!!

You are kidding.....right????

All the way back to the very beginning, Scripture is ALL that I used my brother. Elsewise it is all opinions.
Please go back and check out comments #22, 23 and 36 on the 1st and 2nd pages. ALL SCRIPTURE.
