TONGUES

Tongues

Acts 2:1-11 

And When The Day Of Pentecost Was Fully Come, They Were All With One Accord In One Place. And Suddenly There Came A Sound From Heaven As Of A Rushing Mighty Wind, And It Filled All The House Where They Were Sitting. And There Appeared Unto Them Cloven Tongues Like As Of Fire, And It Sat Upon Each Of Them. And They Were All Filled With The Holy Ghost, And Began To Speak With Other Tongues, As The Spirit Gave Them Utterance. And There Were Dwelling At Jerusalem Jews, Devout Men, Out Of Every Nation Under Heaven. Now When This Was Noised Abroad, The Multitude Came Together, And Were Confounded, Because That Every Man Heard Them Speak In His Own Language. And They Were All Amazed And Marvelled, Saying One To Another, Behold, Are Not All These Which Speak Galilaeans? And How Hear We Every Man In Our Own Tongue, Wherein We Were Born?  Parthians, And Medes, And Elamites, And The Dwellers In Mesopotamia, And In Judaea, And Cappadocia, In Pontus, And Asia, Phrygia, And Pamphylia, In Egypt, And In The Parts Of Libya About Cyrene, And Strangers Of Rome, Jews And Proselytes, Cretes And Arabians, We Do Hear Them Speak In Our Tongues The Wonderful Works Of GOD.

1 Corinthians 14:32

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. 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? But If All Prophesy, And There Come In One That Believeth Not, Or One Unlearned, He Is Convinced Of All, He Is Judged Of All: And Thus Are The Secrets Of His Heart Made Manifest; And So Falling Down On His Face He Will Worship GOD, And Report That God Is In You Of A Truth. How Is It Then, Brethren? When Ye Come Together, Every One Of You Hath A Psalm, Hath A Doctrine, Hath A Tongue, Hath A Revelation, Hath An Interpretation. Let All Things Be Done Unto Edifying. If Any Man Speak In An Unknown Tongue, Let It Be By Two, Or At The Most By Three, And That By Course; And Let One Interpret. But If There Be No Interpreter, Let Him Keep Silence In The Church; And Let Him Speak To Himself, And To GOD. Let The Prophets Speak Two Or Three, And Let The Other Judge. If Any Thing Be Revealed To Another That Sitteth By, Let The First Hold His Peace. For Ye May All Prophesy One By One, That All May Learn, And All May Be Comforted. And The Spirits Of The Prophets Are Subject To The Prophets.

Sign: Is A General Word For Whatever Gives Evidence Of An Event—past, Present, Or Future.

1 Corinthians 14:13-19

Wherefore Let Him That Speaketh In An Unknown Tongue Pray That He May Interpret. 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. Else When Thou Shalt Bless With The Spirit, How Shall He That Occupieth The Room Of The Unlearned Say Amen At Thy Giving Of Thanks, Seeing He Understandeth Not What Thou Sayest?  For Thou Verily Givest Thanks Well, But The Other Is Not Edified. I Thank My GOD, I Speak With Tongues More Than Ye All: Yet In The Church, I Had Rather Speak Five Words With My Understanding, That By My Voice I Might Teach Others Also, Than Ten Thousand Words In An Unknown Tongue.

Tongues Are A Sign To The Unbeliever, So They Can Know That GOD Is Truly Speaking Through This Man, If There Is An Interpreter There To Speak It Plain For All To Understand, And All To Be Edified. If There Is No Interpreter Let Him Keep Silent In The Church. Some People Believe That Means That They Can Still Pray In Tongues Or Get Happy And Speak In Tongues In The Church, But The Bible Says He Is Only To Speak Between Himself And GOD, But If You Hear Him Speaking In Tongues, Then He Is Speaking Between Himself, You, And GOD.  If You Do Not Understand What He Is Saying Then You Are Not Edified, And He Is To Keep Silent, Because Of No Interpretation Of What Is Said. Yes, We Can Speak And Pray In Tongues, But Only If There Is An Interpreter So That All May Be Edified.
