Religious Cults & False Prophets~ Discussions and DebatesCritical Identity of BaptismOf course "tongues" are a sign to the unbeliever. I never claimed otherwise. But "tongues" is also the sign of Spirit baptism which is why "tongues" can be called a "sign" to the unbeliever. But if no one speaks in tongues then how can there be that sign to the unbeliever? There has been times when I prayed for non-Christian co-workers on the job by the laying on of hands. As I prayed and laid hands on them I began praying in tongues as part of the prayer. By doing so I demonstrated in real life the sign to the unbeliever. I did not demonstrate the gift of tongues with interpretation. I demonstrated the power of the Holy Ghost. Two of those co-workers came to the Lord. The spiritual gifts of 1 Corinthians chapter 12 do not happen often in the assembly but only when the need arises for the edification of the assembly and not for the unbeliever. What value is the gift of tongues as sign to the unbeliever if it seldom occurs and when it does occur it is most often in church where there are no unbelievers to benefit from it? Unbelievers do not go to church. The spiritual gifts of 1 Cortinthians chapter 12 are for the benefit of believers not unbelievers. The signs that follow believers are for the benefit of the unbelievers. That is what the difference is. |
