My response
Add the Masons, sorry I did not get everyone.
A little story:
My former pastor used to be holy until he blasphemed the holy ghost. My former pastor now is controller by demons and witches. I then pursued to look for another church in Montreal, Canada , I soon realised the truth about many religions. How much darkness is out there.
Your answer to speking in tongues:
Speaking in Tongues
One of the earmarks of this movement is "speaking in tongues". The word "Pentecostal" is derived from "Pentecost", the name of the day when the first incidence of "speaking in tongues" occurred. The word "Charismatic" is derived from the Greek word for gifts, which is "charisma". As implied by these names, the miraculous gifts are important to this movement. The gift of "speaking in tongues" is considered the most important by this movement, and people in the movement are taught that each Christian is to exercise this gift.
The word "tongue" in the Bible always refers to "a language". The Greek word for tongue is always the same, "glossa". Some good examples are found in Acts 2:11 and Revelation 5:9; 7:9; 10:11; 11:9; 13:7; 14:6; 17:15. In Revelation 9:11, the phrases "Hebrew tongue" and "Greek tongue" make it clear what the word means.
God worked a miracle in the lives of the early disciples and gave them the ability to preach the gospel in a language that they had not learned. In Acts chapter two, many Jews from sixteen other areas of the world heard the gospel in their own language and were saved. This was the beginning of the great church in Jerusalem. This miraculous gift was given for two very important reasons: 1) to break language barriers so many could be saved in the early days of the church and, 2) as a temporary sign to the Jews (see I Corinthians 1:22; 14:21-22) that the message of these disciples was from God, since the New Testament was not written yet (see Hebrews 2:2-4 and Mark 16:20, especially the phrase "was confirmed" in Hebrews 2:3). "Speaking in tongues" was another of the "signs of an apostle" (see II Corinthians 12:12), which are not mentioned from II Corinthians to Revelation.
Remember, this was a "gift" from God. It did not have to be taught or learned, even though many churches today "teach" people how to speak in tongues. Another important consideration is this: If the Biblical "gift" of tongues is present today, why do fervent, spiritual missionaries (even Pentecostal/charismatic ones) have to spend years learning new languages so they can preach the gospel?
It is taught by this movement that speaking in tongues is the evidence of the filling of the Holy Ghost. However, Jesus prophesied of the filling of the Holy Ghost and did not mention speaking in tongues (Luke 24:49). Acts 1:8 makes it clear that the filling was for the preaching of the gospel. Many times in the book of Acts, people were filled but they did not speak in tongues (see Acts 4:8, 31; 9:17-18; 13:9, 52). Of the seventeen times in Acts where people were saved, in only three of them was tongues involved. I Corinthians 12:28-31 makes it clear that not every Christian would be given this gift, which is listed as the "least" of the gifts.
One church in the Bible (Corinthians) was overly magnifying this gift and abusing it. This church was very carnal, so the book of I Corinthians was written as a rebuke (see II Corinthians 7:8-9) to correct them. In chapter fourteen, God gave some Biblical guidelines for speaking in tongues. These guidelines were given to make sure that everything was done decently and in order. For those who believe that the gift of speaking in tongues is still available to Christians today, these guidelines would be followed by the Holy Ghost, since He wrote them. Any church that encourages the speaking in tongues should ensure that these guidelines are being followed. Otherwise, maybe the Holy Ghost isn't the One motivating the tongues (see Deuteronomy 13:1-5; II Thessalonians 2:9-10; Matthew 24:24 which show that Satan can also work through the miraculous). These guidelines are as follows:
I Cor 14:21-23, a sign for Jewish unbelievers' benefit only (see I Cor 1:22)
I Cor 14:12, 26, for edification of others
I Cor 14:27, only two or three in a given church service
I Cor 14:27 (also vs. 23, "all"), must take turns
I Cor 14:28, must always have an interpreter present or keep silent
I Cor 14:33, 40, no confusion; decently and in order
I Cor 14:34-35, women not to participate in speaking in tongues in the churches
If you were to check, you would find that churches which have "speaking in tongues" today do not follow most of these Biblical guidelines. There must be a serious problem. If the current practice breaks these guidelines, then it cannot be from God, for He never violates His own Word. If the gift of "speaking in tongues" is available today, so must the gift of "interpretation of tongues" be available. What occurs, however, is multiple interpretations of the same unknown phrase, which would be impossible with God involved.
The Bible even warns against the common practice of "praying in tongues" because the understanding is not there (see I Corinthians 14:14-15). We must agree with Paul when he said, "in the church I had rather speak five words with my understanding, that by my voice I might teach others also, than ten thousand words in an unknown tongue", I Corinthians 14:19. This "speaking in tongues" movement is being used by Satan to unite non-Biblical churches, even churches that do not preach the gospel. Beware!
