Re: Speaking In Tongues
Many people in churches that are not OP do get the baptism of The Holy Ghost. God honors faith.

What about all those with faith that don't have the Holy Ghost? Did God honor their faith or are they just not as faith-filled as Pentecostals?

Typically they just don't realize the experience is for them. Faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the word of God. If they don't hear about this, its hard to have faith in it.

If I answer this or express my thoughts, this thread will end up in the dump. I have that effect on threads where tongues are discussed. UnitedPraise, if you'd like your thread to be banished to a sub-section, I can get rid of it for you.

Vickie Yohe recently posted about this on her facebook page, and it intrigued me.

Been around the UPC for years and never heard this thought directed in general to others who were speaking in tongues.
I have heard it directed toward certain televangelists, but this is an exception not the rule.

The Bible specifically addresses this:
"have ye received the Holy Ghost, since ye believed?"

Re: Speaking In Tongues
I hate to open up this Pandora's box, but what about Gay Affirming churches that believe in speaking in tongues. Are they getting the real deal or what?

- That the Holy Ghost is for today and is received by faith with the initial evidence of speaking in tongues.
- The saint will go on to strive to live a holy life, pleasing to God.

It does not matter. In affirming homosexuality they place themselves outside the body of Christ - which is the ultimate real deal. Same is true for those who might affirm adultery or murder. They don't need tongues, they need Jesus and repentance.
There are non Christian religions that speak in tongues... I am sure they think they are getting the real deal too...
