Re: "in the Spirit"
Has no one else been praying "in the Spirit" and vacillated, as God moves, between tongues and native language, i.e. between spirit and understanding?
Does that mean, then, at every instance of change between speaking in tongues and speaking in the native language, that one goes in and out of the Spirit?
That doesn't make sense to me.
It's all "in the Spirit" if all inspired by the Spirit. Jesus prayed many times before Pentecost with the understanding in His own native tongue. Was that not "in the Spirit"?
If we ask anything according to the will of God, He hears us, correct?
And the Spirit itself makes intercession for us according to the will of God, does it not?
So, if the Spirit is making intercession for us and leading us to pray according to the will of God, and if by praying according to the will of God we can know that God hears us and that we will have the petitions we ask of Him, then by default all such praying, whether in tongues or not in tongues, is "in the Spirit".
