I've had heretics tell me that, if I don't speak in tongues, it means I'm not saved. So I told him, "What about a deaf mute? He doesn't speak at all." No way. Don't let these show-offs trip you up. God never moved me to "speak in tongues," though God did give me the desire to actually learn foreign languages, the hard way. David In a message dated 9/13/2008 12:13:18 P.M.

I would agree with you and just recently I heard an area pastor on the radio explain that part of Acts that same way which was comforting to me personally. ----- Original Message ----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]) To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (mailto:[email protected]) Sent: Saturday, September 13, 2008 11:52 AM Subject: {dbilg} Re: The safest prayer! devotional from streaming faith Sept.13 In the book of Acts, "speaking in tongues" referred to a sudden, miraculous ability to speak a foreign language. Or it was also the disciples speaking Hebrew, while foreigners heard it in their language. Until the New Testament was completed, it was necessary for preachers to get some help from God, or from other Christians, to be understood. However, by the time the Apostle John had written the last book of the Bible (Revelation), there were enough preachers for every language, so God withdrew this "tongues" gift. Today, people do not have the gift of tongues. It was strictly for the Jews. It will not be used again until after the Rapture, when Israel will have 144,000 evangelists preaching the Gospel.
