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).

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...

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.

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...

Some people have problems with their tongues twisting or sliding to the side of the ankles. They usually will twist or slide towards the outside ankle. When this happens it is usually a symptom or cause of Pronation in the ankles or a blade set too far to the inside. With every stroke the skater takes the addition of weight and then the removal of the weight when the foot it is lifted off the ice, will cause the ankles to go through the motion of Pronation.

If you receive a score of 50 or above ("Pass"), you may complete your application for a GSI position. If you score 40 or 45, you may demonstrate readiness to assume GSI duties by passing the Oral Proficiency Test (OPT). (See information on the OPT below.) If your score on the SPEAK test falls below 40, you must enroll in a Language Proficiency Program course and take the OPT at the end of the semester. See similar questions...

In the first three decades of the twentieth century the physicists succeeded to elaborate a theory much sophisticated, the quantum mechanics or wave-mechanics, that explains entirely all the atomic phenomena that the classical physics, founded on Galileo and Newton's mechanics and on Maxwell's electromagnetism, was not able to explain.

I think books ought to touch and inspire people. They should make an attempt at understanding who we are and in exploring the whole of the human condition. Only then can books define who we are and motivate us in going on and becoming better persons. That's what I mean by books that have greatness. See similar questions...

To 'Speak rortiz' is to carry on a conversation using only smilies. rortiz is a FOOL who is often elsewhere in the forums spreading his own special brand of FOOLishness.

For God so loved the world that He gave His only-begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. Because if you confess the Lord Jesus, and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you shall be saved. If you want to go to heaven and be saved all you need to do is to pray and speak the following and believe it or mean it in your heart: Dear Jesus, I confess and accept you as my Lord and Saviour. I believe that you died for my sins. See similar questions...
