well, mr lenny just set up a blog. hahas. amazing.

and decided to pop by and hey, was really encouraged by the posts proclaiming his love for Him.

and amazingly, i started to blog hop a bit and went onto this person's link. hmm well. i dunno him personally, but i know he's the president of the Student Council during my JC days. hahas.

saw one of his recent blog post on holy spirit baptism. and hey, we were discussing this extensively during our DMM last night. we went through the whole teaching and was reading through the materials on who the holy spirit is, the manifestations of the spirit, so on and so forth.

and great! i've got another insight of another person from another church. perhaps the sharing will provide a fuller understanding. :)

and so....i kinda ripped this off fr his entry. i think he wouldnt mind eh? hahahas i mean its gd stuff! here goes the post..

"Mark 16:17 ... They will speak in new tongues..
WakIng up to a great sunday morning, as i prayed to God for some answers in tongues.. i decided to find out more...

Mark 16:17 And these signs will follow those who believe: in my name they will cast out demons, they will speak with new tongues;

in this context Jesus has risen from the dead, His perfect work have ben finished on the cross n' the Lord has risen him. Surely, from this point, its the New covenent.

Casting out demons, speakng intongues and healing all appear n other passages in e NT, and there is no scriptural warrant for their cessation before the Lord returns.

New tongues refers to supernaturally speaking a human language,

unknown to the speaker (Acts 2:1-13)or in a transrational language of heaven (1 Cor 13:1) Though i speak with the tongues of men and of angels..

1 Cor 13 then goes on tokking about LOve, How God's uncondiional love permeate your attitude, motives, thoughts, words and actions. It is this Love that authenticates spititual gifts..

erhz, cant finish, shall resume later...
take-aways:- no scriptural warrants for the cessation of speaking in tongues before He returns- Love of Lord that authenticate the speaking in tongues

1Cor 12:30 .. Do all speak with tongues? ..
Cont'd

Not all will manifest the gift of tongues in public worship. Yet, in private devotion everyone is encouraged to express themselves thru their spiritual language

1 Cor 14:5 i wish you all spoke with tongues, but even more that you prophesied;prophesied means to talk in language that ppl understand, why did Paul say "even more"? coz w/o interpretation, it is not edifying the church, n' hence he endorsed prophecy over tongues in this context

bt nevertheless, for personal 'use', one should speak in tongues. because..
1) e speaker may not know what he or she is saying, but they can be sure to whom they are speaking
2) we express praise while doing so (Acts 2:11 Cretes and Arabians, we do hear them speak in our tongues the wonderful works of God.)
3) we pray using the Understanding of God and not our own limited understanding (1cor 14.15 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.)

hEEz, tt's why i like to pray in tongues~! how many agree that its wonderful not having to know what you would need to pray for but pray in the spirit so that all that is needed will be provided n' added unto you! =)
