Does God Correct False Doctrine Through Gifts?
Has anyone experienced God correcting a church on false doctrine through tongues and interpretation? Both Trinitarian and Oneness churches exeperience the gifts, how come God isn't correcting them all on their false doctrines?
I've never heard an interpretation or prophesy that sounded like it was correcting false doctrine. The closest I have heard to confirming doctrine was an evangelist preaching Acts 2:38, baptism in Jesus name. At the end of his message there was tongues and interpretation that said essentially "My prophet speaks the truth to you today, why do you not obey?" But I've never heard one that was doctrinal, mostly just warnings and encouragements about following Him

Re: Does God Correct False Doctrine Through Gifts?
I have NEVER heard tongues and interpretation that confirmed doctrine. I have ONLY heard tongues and interpretation that encouraged the assembly.

Re: Does God Correct False Doctrine Through Gifts?
So is doctrine not that important to Him?

Re: Does God Correct False Doctrine Through Gifts?
I heard one woman who consistently would end her interpretation of tongues by saying, "I am your God, and Jesus is my name." The first time I heard it, it sent glory shivers down my spine. But I found out she did that over and over again, and it lost its impact.
The fact is that the gifts do not determine spirituality, for one thing. So I would not depend upon the gifts for correction in doctrine, to say the least!
The corinthians were not lacking in any gift, but they were carnal and incredibly immature. 1 Cor 1:7, 1 Cor 3.

Re: Does God Correct False Doctrine Through Gifts?
It wasn't a correction of doctrine but I did deliver tongues and interpretation once many years ago when I was attending church that basically told the assembly to 'be still and know I am God'. It happened at a prayer meeting and there had been quite a bit of exhortation from the pastors before that we needed to take action. I don't remember the circumstances on what we were being led to take action on, but it pretty much stopped it cold.

Was the develoment of different languages at the Tower of Babel God-ordained or accidental?

Prophecy and tongues and interpretation are not infallible.
The person speaking conveys his/her own prejudices, ignorances, doctrine.
I remember reading one of the old books by one of the early pioneers, I think it was Bro. Fauss but I'm not sure. He told about in the early days of the Holy Ghost outpouring they would have short term Bible Schools for the ministers. He told of one where the teaching was conducted using tongues and interpretations. One of the things taught was that it is wrong to eat pork. That just showed the bias of the one giving the interpretation.

I think you are correct. The evidence points to this being the case. So it now brings other questions.
Is there an inordinate emphasis placed on any particular interpretation?
Knowing the "message" being delivered is corrupted (at least to some degree) how does what is being spoken carry greater significance than any sermon or message spoken by the same individual without a pretense of supernatural gifting?
