The Bible says quite clearly that a person must have the Holy Spirit to be saved. For example, "…Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his" (Romans 8:9), and "…Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God" (John 3:5). As we have said before "these signs shall follow them that believe …they shall speak in new tongues" (Mark 16:15-20). See similar questions...

In meetings, it doesn't really happen much, maybe because of that reason. I imagine it goes on more in private than in our meetings. And the few times I have heard it during a meeting, it didn't really affect the rest of the meeting one way or another. See similar questions...

Answer --- After spending over 5,000+ hours praying in the spirit, we would rather commune rationally with our Lord. Our ministry does not believe this and the other "sign" gifts are in genuine operation today. See similar questions...

Those who would wish to deny others the experience of receiving the Holy Spirit with the evidence of speaking in tongues often quote 1 Corinthians 14:11 which says (in relation to speaking in tongues) "…therefore if I know not the meaning of the voice, I shall be unto him that speaks a barbarian, and he that speaks shall be a barbarian unto me". Here Paul is not squashing the use of tongues but rather expressing concerns about the misuse of tongues. See similar questions...

we have previously discussed, speaking in tongues is designed by God for speaking to Him and to no other (1 Corinthians 14:2). In James we are told that the tongue is an unruly member that no man can tame - on the one hand we can praise God with it and the next we can curse our brother (James 3:3-13). It is not surprising that God has chosen to tame and take control of the most unruly member of our body and use it to create a new language, pure and undefiled with which we might speak to Him.

There are definitely accounts of people speaking in tongues in the Bible where no interpreter was present. For example, Cornelius and his household (Acts 10:44) and the conversions at Ephesus (Acts 19:1-4). Indeed, the comment about needing an interpreter for tongues, stems from a misunderstanding of 1 Corinthians 14 where it says "…if any man speak in an unknown tongue, let it be by two, or at the most three,…and let one interpret…".

Jesus lived under the Old Testament Law, of which tongues was not a part (although it was prophesied in it, in Isaiah 28:11). He came to usher in the New Testament, but not actually live it in person. In Acts 1 and Mark 16, Jesus indicated that tongues would be one of the signs that would follow New Testament believers. Hence speaking in tongues was neither a part of the law nor of Jesus' personal ministry. See similar questions...

Speaking and singing in tongues is a manifestation of the Holy Spirit given by God to an individual to express praise, worship, and prayer back to God in a language understood by Him, but not by the individual. For if I pray in an unknown tongue, my spirit prayeth,... I will pray with my spirit, and I will pray with my understanding also: I will sing with the spirit, and I will sing with the understanding also. See similar questions...

On the day of Pentecost, the disciples were speaking recognisable languages and God went so far as to ratify this by having many witnesses there at the day of Pentecost to testify to the fact that they were speaking identifiable languages. We are told however, that some of the languages given by God may not necessarily be identifiable by man since He said that there would be tongues of men and of angels (1 Corinthians 13:1).

The issue about speaking in "tongues" is as much a debate in mainstream Christianity as it is in the Messianic movement. There are people in the Messianic movement today who come out of the varied charismatic movements, which frequently emphasizes the gifts of the Spirit, speaking in tongues, and other so-called "signs and wonders.

Pentecostals are very much like other Evangelicals in that we proclaim the need of a personal faith in the Lord Jesus Christ for salvation. This is often referred to as receiving Jesus Christ as Saviour or being Born Again. The thing that distinguishes Pentecostals is the belief that the gifts of the Holy Spirit are still operational today. We believe in the baptism in the Holy Spirit is available to believers and is evidenced by speaking in tongues as the Holy Spirit comes upon the person. See similar questions...

A public utterance in other tongues, accompanied by an interpretation of that tongue so that the hearers may benefit. See similar questions...

It is almost foolishness to have to debate this issue, but the foolish still ask the question. Here are biblical answers as to why tongues have never ceased, and why without them, one is not in the body of Christ at all! See similar questions...

When we give evaluations, we like to focus on your progress from one speech to the next and give suggestions for improving your presentation skills. In effect, we hold up a mirror to show you what we see. By receiving evaluations, you can learn how to present yourself to match your intentions. Table Topics is an opportunity to practice "thinking on your feet." Our Topics master will ask a question and then direct to an unsuspecting member of the audience. See similar questions...

The starting place is a crowd. The goal is to develop the crowd into a church. Then the process is to move each member of the church into becoming ministers, so that every person is doing ministry in line with their gifts. From there the lay ministers are reproduced into other ministries. The crowd is not bad, it’s just that the crowd is not to be an end. You need all of these levels I just mentioned if a church is to be healthy. See similar questions...

In zsh, you need to set three variables to make sure your history is written out when the shell exits. For example, HISTSIZE=200 HISTFILE=~/.zsh_history SAVEHIST=200 $HISTSIZE tells the shell how many lines to keep internally, $HISTFILE tells it where to write the history, and $SAVEHIST, the easiest one to forget, tells it how many to write out. The simplest possibility is to set it to the same as $HISTSIZE as above. There are also various options affecting history; see the manual. See similar questions...

To be saved, you must believe in the Lord Jesus Christ (Acts 16:31). However, that's not all. Sacred Scripture clearly shows other things you must also do to be saved: You must accept the Cross (suffering). Matthew 10:38, Matthew 16:24-25, Mark 8:34, Luke 9:23, Luke 14:27. You must eat the flesh and drink the blood of Jesus Christ. John 6:51-58, I Corinthians 10:16, I Corinthians 11:23-29. Our justification comes from the grace of God. See similar questions...
