Creation of JCF Statement of FaithTonguesI have heard many say that you need to be Baptized in the Holy Spirit in order to receive this gift, when is one baptized by the Holy Spirit?
The Fire here represents conviction or judgment of that particular person, therefore leading Him/Her to repentance. So one is Baptized with the Holy Spirit at conversion. At the pentecost the spirit fell upon the gentiles and they began to speak in tongues, this was a sign from God demonstrating that Salvation is now for the Gentiles also and not just for the Jews. I have seen many churches that proclaim that they are the best because they speak in tongues, I also notice that they do not adhere to the rules which are stated in the Bible regarding tongues{There is no interpretor}which is an act of disobedience! The Church in Corinth did the same, they used tongues as a sign of superiority but neglected its true purpose at that time period which was to demonstrate once again that Salvation has come upon all mankind! 1 Corinthians 13:8 - 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. To say that everyone can speak in tongues is to say that everyone can prophecy and that everyone can work miracles and everyone can heal, each member of the body of Christ is given different roles to aide other members who do not share the same gifts. God Bless! |
