Do All Speak in Tongues?

Do all have gifts of healing? Do all speak in tongues? Do all interpret? - 1 Corinthians 12:30

For God so loved the world that he gave his ONLY begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life. {17} For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved. - Saint John 3:16-17

JESUS IS LOVE. GOD IS LOVE.  JESUS IS GOD!

     One of the most controversial doctrines of our contemporary Church fellowships of our day, is the acceptance or rejection of today's holy congregations speaking in an unknown tongue.  There are many today that believe that speaking in an unknown tongue, is still a viable means of connecting through the Beloved Holy Spirit, through Christ Jesus, to the Heavenly Tabernacle where our Holy Father dwells on His Throne.  Some have even called this unknown tongue our prayer language.

     

     With this in mind, we must look at the facts, or a better word might be our developing a zeal not simply for knowledge, but also one that appeals to as finite Christians, prayerfully reading every jot and tittle of the Holy Bible in order that we might endure a conclusion stimulating on the Truths of Our Holy God's Word (JESUS), and why the promise of speaking in new tongues was "evidently set forth" by our Heavenly Father in order that we might garner a greater understanding of the Enormity of the substance of our New Covenant of our Blessed Potentate, the Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ!

     

     If we would recall, in the Old Testament beginning of beginnings. Our friend Moses by the unction of the Holy Spirit penned in Genesis 7 that the reason JESUS, Who has always been our Everlasting Father (Isaiah 9:6) and God Almighty (St. John 20:28) came down from His Throne to confuse the people's language was because their apparent pride constituted their attempt to build a tower up to the heavens.   When Almighty JEHOVAH saw this He said, " And the LORD said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language, and this they begin to do and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do {Genesis 11:6}." Because their attempt in unity was posited in order that they might attain to an evil desire, Almighty JAH, discomfited their construction by confounding their language.

     

     Now at the last, in the last of days, with Christ Jesus in Whom all the fullness of the Godhead bodily dwells (Colossians 2:9), it seemed the time had come when because of the day of Pentecost when the Holy Ghost came upon all 120 men and women in the Upper Room, as tongues of fire on each of them (Acts 2:3), that JESUS would now send forth His Precious Gospel Message of His Triumphant Death, Burial, and Resurrection to every nation and tongue in order that all would have the loving opportunity to be saved.

    

     When asked about the legitimacy of the tongue-speaking churches of today, my beloved Pastor and Daddy exclaimed to me, that if it was "genuine" he saw no problem with it.  In fact the beloved Apostle Paul wrote by the Unction of the Holy Ghost that He wished that all spoke in tongues (1 Corinthians 14:5).  However he would go on to say that he'd rather that in the Church a few words of understanding be spoken rather than tongues, unless there is an interpreter, for how can the laymen say Amen to our giving of thanks, if they do not understand what we speak.

     

     In Summary, it is evident that Jehovah God, I believe by Faith in the Holy Word of God, all sixty-six books of the Holy Bible, that men can speak in tongues today, which is reasonable as one delves deeper into Scripture.  In reality, we can write a dissertation on Tongues being accepted or neglected in today's Christ-centered Worship Services.  

     However, I believe Today's contemporary Theologians, as well as the writers of this Wonderful Gift of the Blessed HOLY GHOST (Acts 2:3), would agree that it is reasonable to establish the truths of Scripture when it comes to the controversy of speaking in tongues.  However, the Apostle Paul said we as the 'Body of Christ" must not have divisions, but speak the same things.   Therefore as the Holy Bible says, in Church, Tongues are a sign to the unbeliever (1 Corinthians 14:22), however, some would also say as the Holy Bible states, that there are tongues spoken in private only to Jehovah God.

     So it is with the Holy Spirit's Gift of tongues, if given while Church fellowship is in progress, one must utilize one of the Gifts of the Blessed Holy Spirit, self-control{Galatians 5:22}, and if there be none to interpret, or if he cannot interpret it, he must keep silence {1 Corinthians 14:22}.  For our God is NOT the author of confusion {1 Corinthians 14:33}, as we are told that all things concerning the Church{or life, for that matter} must be done in decently and in order {1 Corinthians 14:40}.  God Bless in CHRIST JESUS
