And yes, those individuals who go to the altar and seek are seeking for tongues....it's all about tongues. Without that proof, they think themselves unforgiven and bound for hell. It's all about tongues in the unscriptural behavior of going to the altar and seeking and begging, night after night. Nothing in the bible about that type of salvation plan, brother.



I agree.



Some like who? Name names.

Jeremiah 29:13

12 Then shall ye call upon me, and ye shall go and pray unto me, and I will hearken unto you.

13 And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart.

Jesus also said in the NT to ask, and it shall be given, Seek and ye shall
find, knock and the door would be open unto you.

What would cause a person to not ask or seek! Could it be PRIDE that
would cause a man or woman to humble themselves and kneel before their
Maker and ask or seek Him with their whole hearts.

We are to humble ourselves as little children (humble and open to Him).

I'd just like a scriptural example of where anyone ever behaved in 'seeking the Holy Ghost' as folks do in 'apostolic' pentecostal churches today.

Where did anyone go to an altar night after night after night, seeking and begging, and begging and seeking, repenting and crying, pleading with God to forgive them.....and waiting for those tongues.

Just cause it doesn't say they did doesn't mean that they didn't... I think thats the usual type of answer I hear regarding such questions.

My favorite question is where does the bible say those 3000 souls that were added to the church on the day of Pentecost ever spoke in tongues upon receiving the Holy Ghost. Of course they always answer, it never says they didn't.
