Why should it have to be part of the Bible? If could be just God wanting to reveal something to that person!
You ignore Scripture. You really need to go and take a year of basic bible courses at a sound Bible college.
Hebrews 1:1 God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets,
2 Hath in these last days spoken unto us by
his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;
Notice how God spoke to the OT saints: through the prophets in various ways: dreams, visions, audible voices (eg. Samuel), and in different other ways.
But today (vs.2), He speaks to us through His Son. The Word of God has revealed to us the Lord Jesus Christ. That is the way he speaks to us today, not in various experiences that the Charismatics claim.
--Over and over again we are commanded to:
Study to show ourselves approved unto God.
Search the Scriptures.
Meditate upon the Word.
Take heed unto the doctrine.
Contend for the faith.
--These oft repeated commands of Scripture infers that one know doctrine, and doesn't base their life on their experiences.
I do not limit God! He has never spoken to me in an audioble voice...but I will never say that he can not!
That is a lame statement. Again, Heb.1:1,2: God already has limited himself. He doesn't work in the way he did in the OT--speaking in an audible voice as he did to Samuel. He just about spells that out for you and yet you don't believe!
Here is more Scripture
2 Peter 1:16 For we have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of his majesty.
17 For he received from God the Father honour and glory, when there came such a voice to him from the excellent glory, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.
18 And this voice which came from heaven we heard, when we were with him in
the holy mount.
--"The holy mount" refers to the Mount of Transfiguration. In these 3 verses Peter just described the greatest experience that he or any other human could ever have--meeting the glorified Christ along with Elijah and Moses. There could be no greater experience than that.
Now he warns these believers that experiences are not the most important thing. See what he says next--more important than such experiences.
2 Peter 1:19 We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts:
--This verse to the end (vss.20,21), speak of the Scripture that we have.
Scripture is more reliable than any experience we have, including Peter's eyewitness account of the Transfiguration. We can trust the Word of God. We can't trust people's tongue-speaking experiences, nor what other experiences they may have, but we can trust the Bible. That is what Peter is teaching.
Today, God speaks to us through His Word.
No, I do not! I have shared on many threads the ministry of the Holy Spirit but that does not mean it diminishes Christ in anyway!
It is a simple yes or no question. Which person of the trinity do you talk about most? If we allow the other posters to answer for you, what do you think they will say?
There are sooooo many churches that go by Baptist and everyone of them will differ on several doctrines!
That is ok. You stand aloof calling 1900 years of church history and doctrine as false. You are not the one to criticize!
Lets see what the Word says about that and not DHK...
1 Cor. 14:1 "Follow after charity, and desire spiritual gifts, but rather that you prophesy." (Prophesy is a gift and it tells us to desire spiritual)
Prophesy, according to 1Cor.13:8 has ceased.
The spiritual gifts, other than love, have also ceased. The letter was written to the Corinthian church in ca. 55 A.D. before the gifts had ceased.
vs. 12 " Even so ye forasmuch as ye are zealous of spritual gifts, seek that ye may exel to edifying the church." He said we are zealous of spiritual gifts..just use them to edify the church.
Who is zealous....? The Corinthian church.
Who is to seek? The Corinthian church!
He did not say YOU were to be zealous of these gifts.
vs. 18 "I thank my God, I speak with tongues more than ye all:"
What has that got to do with you. God gave Paul the gift more than them all. He was one of the apostles and it was an apostolic gift. Are you claiming to be greater than the Apostle Paul?? Now that is arrogance!
vs. 39 "Wherefore brethren, covet to prophesy, and forbid not to speak in tongues.
Spoken to the first century Corinthian church, and not applicable to us today.
Here is an example:
Acts 19:14 And there were seven sons of
one Sceva, a Jew,
and chief of the priests, which did so.
15 And the evil spirit answered and said, Jesus I know, and Paul I know; but who are ye?
16 And the man in whom the evil spirit was leaped on them, and overcame them, and prevailed against them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded.
--Perhaps you are like one of the seven sons of Sceva, trying to imitate Paul. Read and see what happened. It is dangerous to imitate gifts that aren't yours; gifts that ceased at the end of the first century.
THis is what you accused me of..."On the other hand what you describe as the work of the Holy Spirit are mindless and selfish experiences that are not Biblical and are not found in the Bible.
The modern tongue movement started in 1905. By the most modern and scholarly linguistics, those tongues that you are so familiar with are not languages as the Bible speaks of tongues. Your tongues are gibberish--nonsense syllables strung together. They don't make sense, not even to God.
--A mindless, selfish, emotional experience that doesn't edify anyone but your own self.
They don't edify anyone but yourself, and that only because it gives you a good feeling. But the Bible condemns even that. We don't run our lives by our feelings" ....and I repeat! YOu have no idea of how the Holy Spirit works through me or who else is benefited by it.
I do know what the Bible teaches about tongues.
I know what you have said about tongues.
And I repeat that your gibberish is not tongues. In fact if you do not know what you are saying, it could be a demon saying it. How would you know? You just empty your mind and allow whatever to come and fill it--a dangerous practice.
You put yourself ad judge of peoples heart and lives! Just because I believe in the manifestation of the Holy Spirit and walk in it, you accuse me of being selfish...that is almost funny how you get selfish out of that!
I judge all things by the Word of God.
The Holy Spirit does not work through "gifts" that have ceased.
I have repeatedly challenged you to give me actual documented sources of examples where Biblical tongues, or the Biblical gift of healing, or the Biblical gift of miracles are being exercised today. But you can't do it. You claim they are for today, but there is no evidence of it. So what you say is pure hypocrisy.
Where does God give people languages so they don't have to learn them?
Where does God give people the gift of healing as in Acts 5:16?
Who has the gift of miracles today?
You have never been able to provide any evidence of these things.
It is all a big act; hypocrisy.
No, it come across more like bragging on the thread. So before you take the splinter out of my eye..take the log out of yours first!
When you brag that you can speak in tongues but you really can't, what do we call it?
