The Holy Spirit and Tongues and Interpretation

“In giving us the gifts of tongues and interpretation it was and is God’s simple desire to communicate (or commune) with us in extravagant and personal ways… and to us our lives to communicate His words and glory…

Humanity has made tongues and interpretation odd, strange, chaotic, controversial and divisive… this was not Gods intention in giving us this gift… abuse has breed fear, and this fear and abuse has lead to disuse…

This is not an issue of Salvation… this is an issue of communing with God in His fullness…

Tongues – The God give ability to give a message from God in an unknown language in public worship… they must speak at an appropriate time in an appropriate setting…

Interpretation of Tongues – this refers to the scripturally mandated interpretation of the utterance of tongues in a public setting to a known language…

1 Corinthians 12:7 “To each is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good.”

Correction doesn’t mean that leadership is upset with the individual… We shouldn’t be so proud as to assume we know exactly how to use the spiritual gifts at all times… a mark of maturity is to be able to take correction…”
