Delivered from Charismatic Chaos/Pentecostalism/Strange Fire
I am noticing a trend, many people of God Almighty are coming out and speaking against these charismatic churches that do not teach sound doctrine. The Apostle Paul warned the Church in Corinth about abusing/misusing the Spiritual gifts. Also, if you read his books, you'll find that even in his lifetime, the Spiritual gifts given on the Day of Pentacost was starting to cease. He told Timothy to drink a little wine for his frequent illnesses and stomach issues. Paul was a great healer so why didn't he heal Timothy? Read First Corinthians 13 very carefully. I believe God heals today and we are given fruits of the Spirit and if it pleases Him, He will give someone a Spiritual gift but it may be just a one time gift, not to be forever to use us as vessels for His will. Tongues were a known language and a sign for the Jews. It started and confirmed the early Church. God will use us for His will so be open to whatever He has planned for your life. As far as tongues, I believe if needed, He'll give that gift but it will be a known language and always with an interpreter. Also, no scriptural basis for a secret prayer language either. Stay grounded in the Word and you won't be deceived. God bless and I say this with love for you and Christ Jesus!
