So Christians don't ever have to speak in tongues, correct?

Umm...no. Fundamentalists do NOT hold that all religions are equal. And none of the Fundamentalists I know hold that our purity of life/conduct is what gets us to heaven. Legalists, on the other hand ... well, I have to agree with ya there. So -- bogus statement. Let's get back to the...

Salty - not sure what you're trying to accomplish here. Are we talking about an additional forum for BB members to participate in? Or at least obtain information? What kind of format for the radio show are we talking? And how would BB members listen to or participate in it? It's not you...

May I make a suggestion? Titus 3:9 And if you feel really strongly about it, throw in Titus 3:10-11.

You do realize that their theology is taken from scripture, although reading it differently than you do -- and therefore is no more "man-made" than yours is? You know how to stop all this? Make a statement on how speaking in tongues relates to salvation.

Does she have a version of Word on her machine? If so, in the box where it shows the font size, double-click to highlight the font size number; then type 200. (In other words, don't use the drop-down box; it won't give you 200 as a choice) Should be able to use that method with just about any...

These threads prove only one thing: those that hold to tongues will not be convinced against tongues; and those that hold against tongues will not be convinced for tongues.

See Acts 2. Unbelievers heard those speaking each in their own language, magnifying God; and subsequently were receptive to the preaching. Make up your mind. First you say that I added "to ourselves" in that verse; I then proved you wrong. Now you want to say that it doesn't say we are...

Those three or four did what? See my comment at the bottom. :laugh: Point taken!!! Everything you just wrote points to you taking the man at his word; have YOU talked to that pastor? Or any of the other people involved? One of my jobs over the years was as a "security" guy; one of the...

Silly question. 1 Cor 14:22. I added nothing. 1 Cor 14:28. Anywhere he preached. The better question is: Where does scripture say Paul prayed in languages privately? Where does scripture say that the Holy Spirit prays through us? Look at the many times "pray in the spirit" is used; 1 Cor 14...

Do I know any pastor that would do such a thing? As in, have several of his church members come to him and tell him something, and he acted upon it? Why, yes, I know a lot of people, both pastors and non-pastors, who would do such a thing. Most people have a tendency, especially when taking up...

Then please explain. Why do you need a sign? You're not making any sense. If the Holy Spirit speaks for us with groanings that cannot be uttered, then of course we can't understand what the Holy Spirit is saying, because He isn't speaking through us. As for the other, I've answered that...

I got your point, and addressed it. But I'll try again, because I readily admit I don't communicate well. In the case of the Holy Spirit interceding on our behalf, there is no language in the sense of speaking in languages; as scripture says, "groanings that cannot be uttered." Thus, this is...

I'm curious: you keep talking about exposing this pastor (the one who asked the man not to come back to the church, I think) for "what he really is." What is he?

Here is the difference: "praying through you" and "praying for you." Romans 8:26 is clear that the Spirit intercedes for us, with groanings that cannot be spoken. There is NO vocalization indicated; it cannot be the Spirit praying through us. The speaking in languages mentioned in 1 Cor 14...

How do YOU reconcile the two?

Well...tell us!

I'm curious as to how YOU answer this. I have a word in mind that starts with an "L"; but please, by all means, educate us.

No, seriously; I want an answer. The guy in the video states that Mary, the mother of Jesus, spoke in tongues. I want to know where in scripture that's found.

Mary, the mother of Jesus, spoke in tongues? Where exactly does scripture say that?
