Tongues is a direct message inspired by God ,God is no longer adding new messages, if he were we would simply add it to scripture as a inspired message from God.But we cannot violate God word.



The Unknown tongues Paul spoke of in 1 Corinthians 14, was man speaking to God, not God giving a direct message to man. I posted the scriptures where Paul expounds on it...you obviously are stuck in a one-frame mind and do not see the whole picture of the gift of tongues, or else you lack basic reading skills...because Paul didn't stutter. It's not just speaking in another language with direct messages from God that must have an interpreter, although God can and does speak that way. But when He does, it's not additional revelation outside of the Word as you suggest, but in agreement with what is already spoken in the Word, usually given to instruct the saints, as the Holy Spirit is our teacher, and many times for encouragement as msc mentioned, but He never speaks outside of the Word of God, for He is the Spirit of our God.

The gift of unknown tongues edifies your spirit man in a language no man can understand but God. Think of Daniel when he prayed for intervention and it took the Angel 21 days wrestling with the prince of persia to bring the answer. Satan cannot interpret or intercept a prayer to God when you're speaking in an unknown tongue, for you are speaking in a language he cannot understand.

Paul said to pray in the Spirit and pray with your understanding...He also said to sing in the Spirit and sing with your understanding. Doesn't sound like it's God sending the message but us reaching beyond our intellect into the spiritual realm communing with God in the very Holy of Holies. Both singing and praying in the Spirit edify and build up your inner man, and the gift of tongues brings you into a spiritual realm outside of the natural mind and understanding, into the very throne room of God.

You people limit the Holy Spirit by your unbelief!

Amazing to me is that the Lord sets you people free from the indoctrination and false doctrines of the Roman Catholic Church and then you go and embrace another Religion's indoctrination that still denies what the Scriptures say. Still following and embracing doctrines of men no matter how you cloak it.

Garee when knowledge has vanished away and we know and understand all things, then you can tell me the gifts have ceased. Until then, you don't have a Biblical or doctrinal leg to stand on.

I'm not hung up on tongues for your information, I just believe all the gifts are given for the Saints and are ours if we desire them to help us grow in knowledge and understanding of the deep things of God.

If any of you were handed a gift by your natural Father and then turned around and discarded it telling him you don't need it or want it, how do you think your natural father would feel. Well that is what you guys are doing with your Heavenly Father's gifts to you.

That's your choice...but don't put your individual choice on the rest of the Saints who desire ALL that God has for them.
