Greetings everyone.
In my church i am part of the worship team, but i am the only one who cannot speak / pray in tongues. Everyone prayed for me the other evening to fill me with the spirit and be able to come out of my comfort zone and pray in tongues. I want to pray in tongues so much but i can't. I've tried to say what i've heard but i can't even do that. I don't know what i should do, i have prayed for it but still im stuck. Does anyone have any advice ? Thank you and God bless. |

Contrary to what your church is aparently teaching there is no corrilation with tongues and receiving or having the Holy Spirit, savation or the effectiveness of prayer to God.
My advice is to stop beating yourself up and worrying over matters of no importance. Sincerely Cliff |

Hello there. Didn't Paul, in the Bible, say that not everyone would speak in tongues? And isn't it a gift? Do we need to beg God for a gift? Should others pray or plead to God on your behalf for a gift for you? These are just my opinions. Aren't God's gifts given freely and don't need begged and pleaded for? Is it an issue of salvation for you? Didn't Christ die on the cross that you may have salvation? You were bought with a price and that was Christ's blood. Aren't we given grace by believing in and accepting Christ, period? |

Quote:
In other words he would have to have demonstrated speaking or praying in tongues before he would be allowed to participate with the worship team. There are many that while not doctrinaly stating this insinuate that speaking in tongues is evidence of being closer to God, or hint that those who do are better than those who don't. Or imply that it is somehow salvational in importance. What this results in is people struggling to demonstrate sincerely and truthfuly what some have imitated in order to impress others. Sincere people ( like Godmademefunky) who doubt their faith or their salvation or even more important God because they are being pushed to accept and demonstrate something that isn't there. |

I doesn't. . . That is the point. That is the false teaching and what those who teach it will be judged by God for. I only speak of this to hopefully help a brother get from under a buren that others have place upon him. Sincerely Cliff |
