Commanded to Speak in Tongues?

[Charnock]

Is there anywhere in the Bible where someone was commanded to speak in tongues?

Is there a verse in the Bible that attaches eternal destiny to speaking in tongues?

It depends on whether or not you believe that receiving God's Spirit is evidenced by speaking in tongues. I happen to believe that it does according to Acts 2:33.

Whichever way you want to believe it, you must be Spirit filled - Romans 8:9 "But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his."

I don't have to wrestle with the question or have doubts because, I have spoken in tongues as the Spirit gave the utterance - just like the Apostles and the Mother of Jesus Christ. She bore Him in her womb and obtained Him later in her heart. Awesome!

Ok, be honest; you participated in glossololia, and not xenoglossia, as is recorded.

LOL! This such a ridiculous argument. Can you imagine Paul saying - Act 19:2 "He said unto them, Have ye received the Holy Ghost since ye believed? And they said unto him, We have not so much as heard whether there be any Holy Ghost."

Now WAIT, it ACTUALLY happened this way, "He said unto them, Have ye received glossololia or xenoglossia since ye believed? And they said unto him, We have not so much as heard whether there be any glossololia or xenoglossia."

The members of the New Covenant Church are commanded to pray in the spirit.

19 These be they who separate themselves, sensual, having not the Spirit. 20 But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost, Jude 1:19-20

18 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints; Ephesians 6:18

What does it mean to pray in the spirit?

14 For if I pray in an unknown tongue, my spirit prayeth , but my understanding is unfruitful.

So yes God wants all his children praying in tongues.

Charnock,

You've come a long way since first posting.

When tongues were first introduced at Pentecost the onlookers understood what was being said. I have never been in a church service and understood what someone said when they were speaking in tongues...In the bible it clearly gives instructions in Corith on how to use tongues. I have a hard time finding scripture for the tongues I hear in church today cause 1. it's not the tongues at Pentecost or the onlookers would understand what was being said 2. It's not a prayer language cause I am hearing it and that goes against the Corith teaching...
