Do I Have to Speak in Tongues to Prove I Have the Holy Spirit?

- čas přidán 21. 03. 2019
- When EXACTLY does a believer receive the Holy Spirit? Is there something you have to do in order to receive the gift? Is there some time frame between when you get saved and when you get the gift? And, do you have to speak in tongues in order to show evidence that you have the gift of the Spirit? Also, what about some of the confusing passages in the book of Acts that seem to suggest that tongues is evidence of receiving the gift of the Holy Spirit? These and other questions will be answered in this video.

I felt the presence of the Holy Spirit come into me when I no longer had any doubt about God or the Bible being the true word of God. I realized my faith was confirmed. I was flooded with emotion--guilt and self awareness as a sinner, in need of a Savior. I was weeping profoundly, then almost at the same time I was overcome with the most incredible feeling I've ever felt. I felt pure love and peace all around me. I felt as if my soul was rejoicing and I was free! I was made a new person. I understood what being born again really meant. I was baptized in the Holy Spirit. I was a new person. I no longer had certain habitual sinful desires. The addiction had no power over me anymore, not even temptation. I felt filled with the Spirit and I wouldn't trade it for anything, it is powerful and so awesome. Praise God!
How did you get over the temptation I struggle with this every day ??
Praise God! Powerful testimony, Jared! Yes, it was very much the same experience with me. I was a believing but lukewarm Christian for some time. I feel the Holy Spirit was indwelling in me then but working away quietly. Yet when I completely surrendered to God and tearfully prayed for Him to take over my life and my heart, to help cleanse me of addictions and sinful behaviour, well that night I was reborn and filled with the Holy Spirit. I am now completely changed in every conceivable way. My love for God and joy in His Word has soared to the heavens, I can feel His Holy Spirit with me all the time, and all I want to do in this life is to please Him, to love Him, and to love my neighbours as Jesus commanded. His yolk is light and His commands are not burdensome. :) Hallelujah!
You have received the holy spirt!! Praise God cause without it we aren't his but you have it so now your his child you have bin adobted by the most high💖 never leave him for anything.
Jared Bajer I experienced the very same thing I was floating on air. had to go to the Bible to understand what happened to me because nobody warned me about this. But everybody around me was telling me I needed to speak in tongues which didn’t make any sense to me. Eventually did speak in tongue‘s but was more relieved that I got them off my back about it.
But about the video, People who got the Holy Spirit later in the books of acts was because Jesus hasn’t died yet and they believed in the Messiah and was baptized by John the Baptist only. But now we are all after Jesus death so every born again believer gets the Holy Spirit all at once because he has sent the comforter.
Kilix Please don’t take this the wrong way but whenever you refer to the Holy Spirit, try to refer to him as “him” not as “it.” I know it’s a minor thing but it’s not actually. The Holy Spirit is the third person of the Trinity and he should be referenced as such. OK, just wanted to let you know that. Thanks,
Way to not pick easy topics, Pastor - love what you are doing - praise God for your faithfulness. 🔥🔨
Caribbean Ín The House Wow. I’m praying that God opens up your eyes of understanding to see that you’re warped in the falsehoods of the Hebrew Israelite teachings. You continue to come on this channel and make vile comments.
@Caribbean Ín The House Salvation is made for anyone who come to Christ.
@Caribbean Ín The House where in the bible does it say Salvation is for 12 tribes of Israel?
@Caribbean Ín The House
I love you, but please do not speak against Whites like this. It is hard enough for many decent people to be part Black or fully Black when there are people out there talking against Whites this, then the Whites who have bigotry hates Blacks more and stereotype Black more because of Blacks making uncalled for remarks towards a White person doing no harm.
@Pastor Landon, from someone who is part Black, please forgive Carribean of the remarks against you when you said nothing wrong. The Good Lord's peace be with you! ☺
When I was 13-14 I used to go to a Pentecostal church whose number one priority was for people to be filled with the Holy Spirit and speak in tongues as proof as such. The people were super nice and I still remember several of them to this day (I’m 20), but it was almost as if that if you weren’t speaking tongues there was something wrong with you and you weren’t truly filled. One Pentecost Sunday was particularly traumatizing for me as I was called to the altar with several other youth to be filled “properly”, and there was about 30-40 other members praying in tongues for us and yelling in our ears that our spirit was dead. The only thing I remember praying for that entire time was for God to either get me out of that situation, or to let me speak in tongues so they’d leave me alone. For years I was tortured up until this very day by the thought that I could never truly be filled and saved without the gift of tongues. It’s a difficult mindset to overcome and the devil is a liar, but videos like this on the Spirit and reading God’s Word are slowly helping me to acknowledge that fear and work towards defeating it by the grace of His name. Thank you ❤️
the pentecostal church is a false church, biblically speaking.
I went to several churches growing up, including a pentecostal church. This particular church had a summer program in which they taught us kids how to speak in tongues.
So ppl can fake "being filled". Speaking in tongues is A sign of being filled not THE sign.
Jada , I'm going to be honest with you, I'm 21 and I've attended a penocostal church since 4. From reading your experience, it just sounds like you should find a different penocostal church to go to. I have to admit that the penocostal denomination can be aggressive and harsh however not all are. You should not be feeling like you want to leave.
And also some one else mentioned in the comments about learning tongues.... That's not biblical at all and is not true pentecostalism.
Jada first off I do want to acknowledge I am a Pentecostal and have been all my life and I am 17 now. No one has ever done that to me yes people have prayed for me but they never told me"my spirit was dead". I would say find a different Pentecostal church because there are some church's that are not right at all. No one should ever teach you how to speak in tongues that is not biblical at all God is the one who teaches you and gives you the power to speak in tongues. Now on to the subject of tongues, do I believe tongues is what saves you? No, not at all really that is taking away Jesus' true way of salvation because it it not tongues that saves us but it is His spirit that is in side of us that saves us. Also I am very sorry for your experience I would love for you to come to my church because we wont force you to go up and pray. We will let you decide if you wanna go up and pray and we will pray for you but we will not force you to do anything. Thank You and God Bless.
I had the same happen to me. All the kids on certain Sundays in our Sunday school class had to get down on their knees and pray(beg) God for the Holy Ghost (speak in tongues). The people praying with me (we each had 2-3 people praying with us) were all crying and yelling in my ear. I wasn’t interested at the time of even being a Christian. Nobody bothered to ask me if I even wanted to be saved. I was 10 yrs old. It’s a miracle of God I ever became a Christian (when I was 21.) I so dreaded those Sundays and if I knew it was coming I would feign being sick so I didn’t have to go to church.
I remember one day las year I was about to read the Bible and was praying as usual then out of nowhere I felt the urge to start saying in spanish (my first language).. in the name of JESUS CHRIST leave this house, body etc to all evil spirits.. when I was about to say it for the fourth time (guess) I felt that it was not me talking and the voice felt very powerful and like fluent.. different. Then I fell on my knees and felt the most amazing love, happiness and peace I've ever experienced.. I couldn't stop praying and praising my heavenly Father. Nothing has been the same since that day... I gave myself to Christ, I gave him my life. Im so grateful.. I used to be so overwhelmed by the things going on in my life and now its like even with the problems I still feel joy because I know Jesus is with me and everything will be alright.
I loooove that. I've never heard that before.
" when the Holy Spirit indwells you he is a resident when he fills you he becomes the president." THAT'S AWESOME
Thank you for that
This is a contradictory teaching. One of the fruits of the spirit is self control.
Ephesians 5:22-23a
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control
Why would the Spirit work against himself and take control of your body?
Jetmech0417 tt5t5😏🎉🎉🙏🏽
@@Jetmech1781 the Holy Spirit is not there to force you to do good things. He is there so you can let him be your boss. Your president.
@@theepicenter4106 thanks Jeff I needed this. Years now I thought I had to speak in tongue to receive the Holy Spirit. I love Christ with all my heart and serve/ worship him in Spirit and in truth but now I have a full understanding, so as a resident he reside in us, as a president we give him permission to raise up in us to lead and guide us in all we do?
Thank you brother Allen. I was just thinking about this. Unbelievable how God goes out of his way to clear up his word up.
You can't even get saved without the Holy Spirit!
Explain Luke 11:13.
Right because it is the Spirit that bears witness and causes one to believe.
@@Discipleofyeshuahamaschiach What's to explain?
Disciple of The Way she is saying that we can’t get saved unless we have the holt spirit. Once you get saved you become filled with the spirit. She is absolutely correct. She ain’t saying the gift of tongues she is saying the Holy Spirit which is workings of a lot of stuff.
You can get saved without the Holy Spirit but you can't stay saved without the Holy Spirit
Thank you for biblically breaking down this subject matter.
All believers in Christ have the Holy Spirit. Amen
Lord haven't we healed people and cast out demons in your name?
Verily I do not know you
Mason Hynes watch the video
Problem is so many dont even know what 'believe in Jesus' even means anymore as the devils also believe and tremble.
@Caribbean Ín The House God will save anyone who beliefs him by faith, who ever beliefs that he is God and he died in a cross for all of us to be saved and go to heaven and that he is the only way to go to heaven :)

“It happened that while Apollos was at Corinth, Paul passed through the upper country and came to Ephesus, and found some disciples. He said to them, “Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed?” And they said to him, “No, we have not even heard whether there is a Holy Spirit.” And he said, “Into what then were you baptized?” And they said, “Into John’s baptism.” Paul said, “John baptized with the baptism of repentance, telling the people to believe in Him who was coming after him, that is, in Jesus.” When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. And when Paul had laid his hands upon them, the Holy Spirit came on them, and they began speaking with tongues and prophesying. There were in all about twelve men.” - Acts 19:1-7 (NASB)
Thank you for a great explanation Allen. It is such an important topic and confuses many Christians. I was baptised and immediately spoke in tongues (which I never knew about beforehand). It was the most fulfilling experience, however over the years I have seen this is not necessarily the way for everyone. My brother experienced the Holy Spirit just by surrendering himself to the Lord and has an amazing experience and had a change of heart. He is saved and I am saved both with different experiences. Praise be to Jesus Christ. We are saved by Grace by believing in him as our Lord and saviour who died for our sins.
Yes I had been struggling to understand what being ‘filled’ with the Holy Spirit really means, how was that different from being baptized in the Holy Spirit at the moment of salvation. The explanation that being filled (in the present continuous sense), is related to being under the influence and control of the Holy Spirit, makes things much clearer. It has nothing really to do with the histrionics we witness in church, but more about walking in power and authority over sin and being able to manifest the gifts and fruit of the Spirit
I often find that folks who aren't legalistic about tongues and the other gifts are actually the ones who tend to express them in the most godly, loving, and real way. It's almost as if mandating that everyone speak in tongues is actually making tongues, which is a charisma or gift of GRACE, a work - which, in turn, seems to actually get in the way of the Spirit doing what he wants to do, and brings manufactured gifts rather than the real thing!
Living a godly life is a proof you have the Holy Spirit although we err many times we are able to get back on our feet cause the Holy Spirit in us guides and restores us. Speaking in tongues was never an evidence that one is save because it's a gift and it can be counterfeited by the devil.
josiah nissi it’s just a result of being baptized. Salvation is a process!
It is the sign of the initial filling. The presence of HolyGhost first speaks to us, causing to repent once we are baptized of water the presence of the HolyGhost comes in. The power of the HolyGhost gives us the boldness and the gifts of the spirit as in Joel and Acts. If you read the scripture in 1 Corinthians the scriptures talk about “unknown tongues” and the “tongues of men”. If you read Acts everyone in the room were filled and those who were out side knew what languages they spoke which are tongues of men. Have you actually experienced when a person speak in tongues and an interpreter exchanged in the scripture? The purpose of the interpreter(s) are to interpret the message of that God says. People speak languages of men as well as languages of angels. They’re not interpreting the language of men but of an unknown tongue to man.
The issue comes in when it comes to spiritual warfare when folks come against demons as those Jews tried to cast out they will be attacked because the demons will not recognize the power of HolyGhost.
That's why we should not judge the Baptism in the Holy Spirit by the actions of others. This pentecostal experience was a major part of churches at the time of the aposles.
That's right. People confuse the gifts of the Spirit with the fruit of the Spirit. Gods gifts are irrevocable so someone can be an apostate and excercise the gifts. The fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22) is the test of the Holy Spirit living in us. We should seek the gifts of the Spirit but they aren't necessarily evidence of salvation. We need to be led by the Spirit.
Our Lord and Savior Yahshua took a sin from me.
He TOOK it. Made it go away.
He is Salvation.
MY H3AD ...Yahshua is the born hebrew name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. There was no letter J in hebrew or the latin...so it's been transliterated into the modern Jesus. If you use the name Jesus it works just as well...but the original form Yahshua means "Salvation"...because that is essentially who He is.
Yahshua is how our very worthy King introduced himself to me when I was saved and He told me, "Tell it from the rooftops."
May the Lord bless you.
@@psalm7171 I finally found someone who uses Jesus' Hebrew name without telling everyone else that they're wrong for not doing so
@@sampeake4235 The only thing that matters is that people come to salvation. Our Father is really very good:)
Thanks bro. Teaching like these uplifts me in studying the bible and taking it more seriously. May God bless you for more like this. Love, from the Philippines.
When I focused on gifts of the Holy Spirit, I got nothing. But when I focused on Jesus, I received everything 🔥, including speaking in tongues 🔥
Can you elaborate? A couple days ago I have my life to God and was born again and experienced the Holy Spirit in full effect. But I feel I was to focused on the gift of tongues and not the actually connection to God so that’s why I wasn’t able to speak in toungues. When u said focused on Jesus and received everything what did you mean by that?
@@dankolodiychik I will reply soon my brother
tongues.
Thank you brother Allen, this topic has been weighing on my spirit for a while now. I’m very grateful for what you do.
Thank you for your insight Allen!
I have recently come across many believers who thought they weren’t saved bc they hadn’t spoken in tongues.
This video is a big confirmation for me. Thank you brother!
Wow this was so helpful, that clears up a lot of confusion I was having with the gift of tongues. Went to a Bible study that was about "10 reason why you should have the gift of tongues" heavily implying an alternative to the true gospel. My skin crawled when this was the topic. I don't have a gift of tongues and you get so much pressure to perform to have certain giftings and if you don't you are not a mature Christian or people even question your faith. It's like excuse me but I am saved by grace through faith in Christ alone. Not some gifting that some say it is a requirement. We are all one body, the body is made of different parts some have this gift some don't or may never recieve it. I also do not say this to discourage anyone who desires the gift as a I also have desires for these gifts. prophecy more so. But if you don't receive it. Don't beat yourself up like I did. Jesus is the way the truth and the life.
Thanks for the clarification. I've never spoken in tongues but I'm trying my best to live for God ✝️
Loved the resident/president comment...good stuff brother!
I tried to explain this awhile ago to a couple that was judging me because I did not speak in tongues. But brother Parr you did way better than I ..lol..lol 😂😁😁😀 Thank you keeping pressing on for Jesus such an encouraging soul you are brother Parr GOD Bless you and your family and protect you always.
Thank you for explaining this and making it more understandable.
We have to be born of Gods Spirit in order to go to heaven. We have to have the Holy Spirit to guide us and make that genuine change in us and guide us in our way! ❤️ I’m so thankful that God sent his Spirit to me it’s the purest thing ever and I’d be lost without it.
God bless you, I love all of your subjects on the bible. These are main topics that people struggle with interpretations. You make it easy to understand.
Thank you so much for this message! I join a holiness church, and I been so confused 🤷🏽♀️ about will I ever speak in tongues because it’s like the whole church do, and they do teach if we don’t get the Holy Ghost and speak in tongues we want make to heaven I just never believe that, I made up my mind to change my life I must say the holiness church help me out a lot about prayer and then I start having a relationship with God and that’s when I made up my made to live for him, been single going on 4 yrs now I gave my life to Christ 2015 I know now my singleness is a gift 🎁 from God, so this was just confirmation for me, that I’m on the right track I was ask God for wisdom and understanding so you just need that! Sorry about the long status and probably got off the subject but I just thank God for waiting on me! I know now my obedience is not in vain, My sacrifice is not in in vain! My waiting is not in vain! #waitongodpurposeforyou #Itscomingtogether #Ruthchallenge
I grew up holiness and the teachings are full of errors.
All your videos bring so much clarity. I pray God blesses you for blessing me and everyone who watches with understanding. ♥
Thanks so much for this video! I've always been a little confused about this and you explained it well.
Again another superb presentation my Brother. With roots in the Holiness- Pentecostal denominations, I know first hand the erroneous teaching of the need to seek and tarry for the HOLY GHOST! Spent many nights as a youngster being compelled by the "Saints" calling JESUS, on my knees just going through the motions. This bad Theology, as well as all false teaching is detrimental to the Spiritual growth of both the Church and the individual. Thank GOD for Truth and GOOD Teachers as yourself. Blessings to you brother Allen, your Family and all who listen and follow your channel.
I agree, but the old saints has limited education and resources. However, tarrying which just mean to wait, just hurt your knees. However, I did receive the gift of speaking of tongues. I would like to be able to interpret tongues
Had limited education
Come on now and tell the truth !!!!!!!!
Seriously , I think I'm a bit traumatized from my experience .
Same here! My husband and I got baptized together before getting married recently, we did so at an Apostolic church because I trusted them and had visited many times before. BUT when he didn’t “speak in tongues” after coming out of the water, it was almost like they felt they hadn’t done anything significant. I’ve been able to speak in my heavenly language since a small kid, but I tarried for it. Idk if I’d suggest that to anyone these days, but I do believe it’s a GIFT, not something we have to work for.
I was raised holiness Pentecostal too and the errors are insane. Thsnk God for this pandemic he has shown me so much error
Allen, you sure are fun to listen to. You always use the Word of God to back what you are saying. Keep it going man!!!
Thanks Allen for the PROPER interpretation of the word. I appreciate your dedication and preparation when handling the truth. I've been following you for about 2-3 months now and so far, I haven't disagreed with anything you have taught! Not saying that at some point I won't, just saying that I appreciate you and I know that you have a heart to teach! Never would have known you were a pastor had you not said it or someone pointed it out but keep doing what your doing. It's much needed especially because of what's going on IN the church today! Much love bro! I'm fully awake and looking forward to not only the rapture but the return of Christ to rule in righteousness!!
Well stated, I completely agree with the points you've mentioned here.
I was touched by the holy spirit a week ago and it’s been tripping my out ever since. It’s such an amazing feeling. I feel superhuman. Like I’m not of the flesh anymore
Have you ever heard a minister named William Branham? Listen to his sermons and be blessed.
I needed to hear this. I've been to churches that when you're filled with the holy spirit you will speak in tongues. I had a church tell me to move my mouth and tongue fast??
I felt when you are baptized in the holy spirit that God gives us many spiritual gifts. I have never spoken in tongues.
I'm literally so glad I just watched this video. Such a controversial topic . I appreciate you Pastor for being bold enough to discuss this and sharing scriptures .
The absolute BEST video of them all....being that I am former Pentecostal . I can forward this as a seed to those who will hear and watch God work. Thank you!!!
Marian Sanders yes! I grew up apostolic and I remember being depressed as a child because I couldn’t speak in tongues. I was told that I couldn’t be saved without it. I remember trying to be perfect as can be so God would let me speak in tongues to get saved 😭 I’m so glad as I got older I learned the truth for myself.
Marian Sanders Being a former pentecostal as u said, had you experienced speaking in tongues?
@@JB-ro7kq - you are so deceived my friend - growing up apostolic - you were taught scriptures - but now that you've walked away - you're believing lies. open up the KJV and search the scriptures - salvation, who JESUS is & so much more is in the bk. dnt end up in hell cause you were disappointed as a child - heaven & hell are very real - you dnt wanna end in hell for eternity. read scriptures & pray!
We receive the HOLY SPIRIT when we get saved.
You get d full package when u convert. So no need to or do an else to fin get d pack. Ok take care b humble n put God in his rightful place..
No ur saved when u get the Holy Spirit
@Rafael Yes
Amen Amen
Wrong
I was at a church one time where they said to let the Spirit fill me, and I should start speaking in tongues. While I was really being open minded about it, it just wasn't happening. I could've just repeated "should'a bought a Honda" over and over, and they would've bought it, but it would've been fake. I don't go to church there, but they're still my brothers & sisters, I love 'em, but I'm not buying a Honda. I already have the Holy Spirit.
Biker4Christ SFFS I have a honda!!! lol 😂
🤣🤣💀
Too funny lol, Amen!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
You can mock the gifts of the Holy Spirit but I would not if I was you! You don't have to copy anything, you will KNOW when the gift of tongues is given to you, certainly will not be given to an unbelieving spirit, God only bestows good gifts on his children
The doctrines that I have heard in my Pentecostal experience that I have questioned you have cleared up. Thank you. Much appreciated!
Well said brother. May God continue to bless your ministry.
I’m a born again Christian and I have received the gift of speaking in tongues, I pray in tongues on my own in private prayers to God. I agree with you that you can be saved and not speak in tongues. I am so glad that I speak in tongues as I feel so peaceful and blessed when I do.
Read your Bible speaking in tongues has a different teaching
speaking in tongues is the seal of God and any Christian who doesn't have the seal is in danger
I believe, i love and i trust in my Lord and savior Jesus Christ name Amen. Thank you God for everything you done and doing in my life everyday. Thank you Allen for breaking down and answering the questions. God bless all. 🙏☺
Glad i've rewatched this video because I've been confused for months. As a new member to a new church we've talked about the holy spirit and how we should speak in tongues. It made me ashamed and made me question if I truly am saved. Thank you for this video Allen!
God bless you brother for the explanation of these crucial questions, very educative to me.
Extremely well made video. Thankyou
You don't have to speak in tongues in order to be saved. Tongues is a gift.
I applaud you in your presentation of this information. The conclusion that you have reached is the conclusion that I have come to as well. Sadly I spent far too many years believing wrongly about this. Thank you for sharing this as it will be part of what God uses to set many free from these false doctrines and free them to know, love and serve God all the better. :-)
Soo needed in these times...so very true... thanks again for backing up my known belief in scripture and opening eyes
It's super sad to hear the pentecostals demand that a person must speak in tongues to evidence that they have the Spirit or that they have been baptized by the Spirit. The demand for signs and wonders in the charismatic and pentecostal crowd is concerning. Very good video Allen.
It is very confusing
Amen pastor. God bless you and your ministry. ☺
Praying God keeps you safe and covered in His blood brother Parr. You are exposing alot of false doctrines and shaking up hell
Thanks Brother Allen , Really Love your Videos... Have been following you for last couple of years..
And thanks for this beautiful video....
This is excellent teaching, sir!!! Thank you for tackling this topic. The Word is clear, speaking in tongues is not a fruit of the spirit, it’s a GIFT of the spirit and we all have different gifts. The reality is If you cannot speak in tongues, then perhaps that’s NOT the gift you operate in! Be Blessed Man of God. Eld. K
What ifyou still dont know what it is? I'm worried this is a sign I am not baptised in the holy spirit even though i accepted Jesus as my Lord and savior
@@joselynm5634 Are you referring to “It” as the Holy Spirit or “It” as the speaking of tongues? Either way, I would caution you not to focus so much on the SIGNS that accompanied the Baptism of the Holy Spirit that you miss the big picture the Bible gives in Acts 2. The rushing wind in the room where the disciples were praying was a sign; speaking in various tongues was a sign. The Baptism of the Holy Spirit is not primarily about speaking in tongues and rushing wind, it’s about the beginning of a new creation. The Bible is clear where Paul said, “If anyone is in Christ he IS a new creation. The old has passed away; behold the new has come!” (2 Corinthians 5:17). It happens instantly at the moment of salvation! Not, if anyone is in Christ he can become a new creation after he learns a tongue. The Bible is pretty clear that every believer has received the baptism in the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 12:13), but not every believer speaks in tongues (1 Corinthians 12:27-31). Be Blessed. Eld. K
@@IAmDionneKelley I was refering to the gifts as everyone is telling me that i need topray in the spirit and they say to pray in spirit means to speak In tounges. This is confusing as Paul says not everyone can speak in tounges.
I still dont know what my gift is (although I feel like its Mercy).
🙏 AMEN in my past experiences I received the Holy Spirit when in the building tensions were so heavy, The Holy Spirit fell on me and I was asking GOD to "help us, oLORD"! To this day no minister has interpreted the meaning. What say ye!? Brother Parr.
This video saved my life literally ❤️
Thank you so much for this. I’ve been saved for a while, and even got rededicated again yesterday. I really felt the overflow of God as I wept in church in front of everyone, later on I joined the church and complied to their request of being filled with the Spirit. Nothing came out as I tried to urge myself to speak in tongues. For years I thought(and still unfortunately think) I was missing something…why am I not able to speak in tongues like everyone else? Why me? But this helps me a lot to gain confidence in my faith.
Hey Pastor! Just got hold of your Channel and loving it so far! Sending you love allll the way from Jamaica!!! I've seen two of your videos so far "The unforgivable sin" and "Phrases Christians need to Stop Saying." Solid!
Acts 2:4
All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the spirit enabled them.
Hope Love what does this passage prove in your ideology
This happened but there were also times where people got saved and did not start speaking in tongues.
@@yvonaj3493 but there was a seeing and a hearing.
This is exactly what i needed as i heard a street preacher who said that i needed to speak tounges if I am saved or reborn and baptized in the holy spirit. I still dont know what my apiritual gifts are but i do see the holy spirit bearing fruits in my life (such as love, peace, etc).
Thank you, thank you, thank you. I thank God that you have the Holy Spirit and he has taught you how to understand scripture. Scripture is very clear.
Excellent! Many people have been damaged by the erroneous teaching that if one does not speak in tongues one has no reason to believe one is saved.
We have the Holy Spirit when we are born again. The baptism of the Holy Spirit enables us to overcome sin and to move in the Spirit. I had a difficult time with speaking in tongues but received my prayer language about a year ago. Praying in tongues between God and I has been great because there are many times I don't know what to pray but the Spirit that dwells in me knows how to pray when I don't. The best thing is the devil doesn't understand these prayers and can't try to thwart them. I had someone pray in tongues and then I followed as I felt led.. some people just get it easy and some have to be willing to move in faith which was my case. I had been a believer for 18 years at the time. One thing that ALWAYS turned me off on the baptism of the Spirit was the people that acted as if they were spiritually superior. So if you don't speak in tongues please do not receive any condemnation because that doesn't come from God. I have learned much about stepping out in faith thru this. We are all being transformed from glory to glory so we MUST love people where they are at while encouraging each other to seek God more diligently.
rock solid brother I like the resident and president paradigm, i would say instead of control maybe empower since the holy spirit is a helper, comforter etc not a controller? As Paul stated to Corinth, "The spirit of the prophets of subject to the prophets" love the analogy tho 😁🤗.
This is a really good video Alan...well explained Thank you brother in Christ.
I haven’t spoken in tongues but When I asked if speaking in tongues is a requirement for salvation, I was told that it’s not a requirement it’s a gift.
I know the lord knows my heart. But I lack confidence that I’m saved/forgiven. Is it bad for me to lack confidence?
Why it is bad is because there is doubt. How come you lack confidence buy the way?
You are saved once you put your faith in Christs sacrifice on the cross. So if you believe in what God said that its by faith not by works. you are saved. IF indeed you do trust in what God said. So i must ask. Do you believe in what God said to you? Do you believe that he took away all your sins and all you have to do is trust him? Trust in God. Not yourself for you cant do anything. Its a free Gift from God to us IF we Trust in him.
Maybe you have done things you feel God is not able to forgive you for or maybe the consequences of the sin may still be around and that often times makes us feel unworthy...but when you know and believe that Christ died to forgive you it becomes clear that God has spared and loves you bro...you have to walk in confidence and in the boldness of Christ so you can also pray about that as well...cause God hasn't given us the spirit of fear but of love,power and a sound mind... So my advice is to have faith and rest assured that He has forgiven you....you could also pray for boldness as well
Jugs Mc bulge Brother it’s completely normal. The devil whispers that in our ear a lot. Just ask for God’s confirmation. Hope this helps
@@icandoallthings5326 yeah a lot, and it is annoyingg too much
Acts 2:4 - 4 And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.
Sara He has a video called "the truth about speaking in tongues". It explains this scripture and the biblical definition of the term. 🌹
Marian Sanders but what does the Word of God say? And if Paul spoke himself why would he not teach the church of believers he already knew had the HolyGhost. He even laid hands on those to receiver the same things he had.
Beat for Jesus by: Kelly M True tongues were early languages not spiritual babble
I really appreciate this video. Thank you for sharing this wisdom with us. I often question whether I am truly saved or not because I don't have the gift of speaking in tongues. i am slowly but surely starting to understand that this is just a tactic the devil uses to pull us away from christ. To make us believe that somehow we arent good enough or that the holy spirit was never with us to begin with. Thank you again for sharing it means a lot to get go through scripture together and get clarification on what God is really saying to us.
I want to say thank you for this clarification. I've been saved 20 years, several churches, ended up in another pentacostal church that preaches tongues. I told someone about what Paul said - my gift is in the prophetic. They said I have to speak in tongues, the evidence that the holy spirit is in me.
Mark 16: 15-17 - 15 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. 16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. 17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;
Sara Boooyahhhhh!!!!🔥🤪👌🏾
Do all cast out demons?
Mark Gospel Jesus hasn't died yet that time.....
@@mariojr.h.lucino697 yes Jesus ascended in heaven yet but he already told the evidence.
@@markevanks bro. im felt sorry for you.
go study John 3:8
but first pray first
Good job brother, this is one of the sacred cows. People will do what they taught. I know I was one of them. But I realized it was not the Spirit of God.
Hey everyone 2 years ago I heard the gospel and gave my life to him and fell into sin until a few months ago. I'm not sure if I have the holy spirit but I do know that I no longer want to sin I no longer am addicted to some of my most addictive sins. I gained self control and im wanting to seek god more. I think the holy spirit is in ne but when I pray I get no response. I want to hear God's voice cause I want to follow his will and do what he wants me to do
I have never gotten so much information in 10 minutes before thank you
The moment we are saved, the Holy Spirit lives inside of us. Tongues are a gift and all wont speak in them. !st Corinthians 12
Why is the not the top comment!
Jesus said many are called but few will be chosen .."the few" are the ones who have the seal aka holy spirit
JESUS is very specific on what we must do to be saved - JESUS' plan of salvation starts with ACTS 2:38 - repentance, baptism in JESUS name (full immersion), receiving the HOLY GHOST with the initial evidence of speaking in tongues. without JESUS' salvation you cannot enter into the kingdom of heaven. today is the day of salvation. dnt wait!!!
yes sis. that's true
Jesus break it down in John 3:8
Jesus use the Wind and Sound on that scripture,. and the meaning of the Wind in original tranlation is the 3rd of the triune God which is the Holy Spirit.
and the Sound meaning in the original tranlation is voice or language.
and Jesus said "so is everyone that is born of the Spirit.
Not true at all. Born again Christians are known by the Fruits of The Spirit, NOT the Gifts of the Spirit. Speaking in tongues is a Gift, not a Fruit. Read your Bible.
Thank you for telling it so clear ! ❤️
Amen!!...thank you for clearing that up for me..thank you for posting ❤️
Acts- 10:44, 46, 47 - While Peter yet spake these words, the Holy Ghost fell on all them which heard the word. 45 And they of the circumcision which believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because that on the Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the Holy Ghost. 46 For they heard them speak with tongues, and magnify God. Then answered Peter, 47 Can* any man forbid water, that these should not be baptized, which have received the Holy Ghost as well as we?
Sara when he spoke those words they believed ...
amen.
actually that is not the only one is the scenario in the bible that the speaking in tongues is the evidence of the Holy Spirit.
actually all of the book of epistles is already a church, and once you've been called a church you've already done the 2 baptism where Jesus teaching us in John 3:5 and Acts 1:5
they believed,. yes and according to James 2:17 is faith without work (obedience) is dead.
You have great wisdom from God.
You haven't seen the latest CosmicSkeptic video, have you?
Straight from the Bible as always brother! Great video!!
Beautiful thank you brother Allen. Deep long lasting payers to Jesus for God to work his will through me fills me with inexplicable uhh satisfaction? Peace, authentic joy? The TRUTH of what we're supposed to be as a human being that's it. I recognize that joy in others and I know people see it in me. God bless.
I pray you experience the baptism of the Holy Ghost with evidence of speaking in tongues. We need his spirit!
i do belive that the initial evidence of the Holy Spirit is the speaking in toungues
because personally i do experience it
and all of my church mates entire of my country
Scripture does not say tounges is evidence 🙄
@@Serenitymommy10
But it does say utterance. Which was tongues.
Acts 2:33 This is that; what they observed that day of the birth of the church was what Joel prophecy was about; the promise of the Father.
@@Serenitymommy10 But it do say Peter knew the gentile had received the Holy Ghost because they heard them speak in tongues as they did in Acts 10:47 -48 God haven't change.
Never heard the theory that some believers had to wait. I have heard you're not saved unless you speak in tongues. LOL
Michael Urbanek read the 1 chapter in Acts Jesus told them to wait for the HolyGhost in Jerusalem. The tarried for the HolyGhost, and when they were in the upper room they received it!
Cheri Juilette
Also, the letters of Paul were addressing people who were already filled with the Holy Spirit. You can’t use that as a teaching of having the Holy Spirit.
Michael Urbanek dame dude I went 17 years b4 I found this out, I talked to my youth pastor ab it and he had no real response and told my parents I was disrupting class, apostolic churches are brainwashed all ab the show and fake !
Thank you brother for unpacking this subject!!!🙏🕊👍
I was raised in a church that did not teach speaking in tongues. My grandmother took me to her church. They did believe but they just yelled out in tongues with one or two words during praise.
I was at a church that was having a service with an evangelist from California. He arrived and we were shocked. He was dressed in jeans and a tee shirt! He was so gifted and wise we new he was for real. He explained that we did not have to get emotional or loud to speak in tongues. We just had to believe the word of God in that area. I immediately just began to speak cool and calmly. My best friend had trouble and 30 years later she still cannot speak. As soon as I started angels began to wake me up to pray in tongues for people in trouble.
Mr. Parr,
What about these Verses? Especially, Verse 4?
Acts 2:4 KJV -
1 And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place.
2 And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.
3 And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them.
4 And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, AND BEGAN TO SPEAK WITH OTHER TONGUES, as the Spirit gave them utterance.
I have to disagree with part of what you are saying. I do believe that Christians receive the Holy Spirit and it dwells in them when they get saved/receive Christ. However, there is a separate Baptism of the Holy Spirit that gives the believer power and boldness. The apostles received the Baptism of the Holy Spirit in Acts Chapter 2 and that gave them the power and boldness to spread the gospel. Speaking in tongues is one sign/gift of this but believers can receive other gifts listed in the Bible. So there is salvation when the Holy Spirit comes and dwells in the believer but there is also a baptism in the Holy Spirit and you only need to ask God for it and you will receive it as a free gift.
Randy Ashman yes!
Randy Ashman you are right. This doctine has been corrupted by false teachers saying that it is a requirement for salvation. We know that it is not. it is a gift given freely to the believer by God in order for us to be edified. What is disingenuous is when one does not possess this gift and denies it for that reason. Doctrine is exemplified by narrative. If that were not the case we would have to throw most of the Bible away.
You left out the Baoptism of fire
Well yeah once you receive the Holy Spirit you have the power of boldness. Since speaking in tounges is a gift NOT THE GIFT. God dispeneses them as He pleases.
Amen. I believe the Book of Acts was an example of how God works. Acts 1: 4-8
Love the topics! Thank you Pastor
Revelation 1
[3]Blessed is the One who reads aloud the words of this prophecy, and Blessed are Those who hear it and take to heart what is written in it, because the time is near.
So good brotha. To many spreading that false teaching...
Could you please cover Romans 9: 18-25? I don't get it
Rom9:18-25 talks about God having the soversign decision.Meaning that we should not question God's decision concerning our lives.The verse which says that God loved Jacob and hated Esau means that God decides what he wants because he has all the power. This does not necessarily mean he hated Esau because our God is a loving God and everything he does is out of love.
It just means that God had different plans for Esau. If you read Genesis 33 when Jacob meets Esau you will see that Esau was also favoured by God and Genesis 36 tells us of his numerous descendants so I believe God also blessed him.
Verse 23 is saying that everything decision God makes is for a good reason. It could be for his glory. So we shoulf not question him because he loved all of us equally
Read Rom 8: 28 may God help you understand
I love you brother. Thank you so much for your devotion!
Thank you for this enlightenment!!!
So explain this passage in Acts. The timeline for Acts is 64 A.D. and being this is the second half of Acts would put it further down the line than many of his epistles. So when this particular event occurred, it wasn’t right at the transitional period.
“It happened that while Apollos was at Corinth, Paul passed through the upper country and came to Ephesus, and found some disciples. He said to them, “Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed?” And they said to him, “No, we have not even heard whether there is a Holy Spirit.” And he said, “Into what then were you baptized?” And they said, “Into John’s baptism.” Paul said, “John baptized with the baptism of repentance, telling the people to believe in Him who was coming after him, that is, in Jesus.” When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. And when Paul had laid his hands upon them, the Holy Spirit came on them, and they began speaking with tongues and prophesying. There were in all about twelve men.” - Acts 19:1-6 (NASB)
Sure! Those disciples were baptized under John the Baptist and not in the name of Yeshua. Since they had not truly heard the "Gospel" they did not fully know Yeshua nor did they understand that Yeshua died for those that would go on to believe in him. The Baptism of the Holy Spirit is essentially baptism in the name of Yeshua where the Spirit that Yeshua carried is awakened in us as we are reborn with the Divine DNA.
The Bible calls them “disciples,” Paul says “when you believed” not “did you believe” and John’s baptism came with the anticipation of the savior. So these weren’t ignorant people. They were believers in the same way the apostles and other disciple were believers before the death and resurrection of Christ and Old Testament saints who didn’t have a full knowledge of the gospel.
Brandon Springle I don’t think baptism was the reason for my comment. I’ll have to go back and listen to the video to see why I posted it. It was probably because I feel like he left it out of the discussion. At least deal with it instead of leaving it out.
Very good my bro
We are saved by the blood of Jesus Christ
He died for our sins and it is by grace through faith we receive righteousness
We all have fallen from the grace of God but because he loved us he sent his son to TAKE our place (SIN) and give us his righteousness
God who knew no sin made himself sin for us
Mostly Pentecostal movement will say no one is saved unless they speak with new tongues
And this cause many believers to drop faith in God
Bottom line is in Matthew the word of God says
There will be many who will be in this position on judgment day
Matthew 7:22-24
22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
We are saved by grace the book of acts is a translational book it changes
Thank you Pastor Allen🙏🏻❤️ God bless!
FINALLY👏🏻 THANK 👏🏻 YOU 👏🏻 this helped me a lot. It’s confusing. Thank you thank you thank you.
There's no record in the Bible that Jesus spoke in tongues. I don't like this idea that if you can't speak in tongues "you haven't accepted Jesus as whole". It's a ridiculous comment, the Holy Spirit gives us gifts such as joy and self control but these come over time and strengthen over time as our relationship with God deepens. Do not be discouraged if you can't speak tongues, not everyone receives this gift nor is it required for Salvation. Preach the Gospel, strengthen your relationship with The Lord and love one another as He loves us. That's all that matters brothers and sisters.
If all has the holy spirit then what came in Pentecostal day????
As all disciples already believed in Jesus.
POWER
@@yeshuaisisaiah9650 where there is Holyspirit there is power- it cant be separated from each other.
Don't listen to the video, he's confused. The Holy Spirit came on the day of Pentecost. Peter in Acts 11 said that Cornelius had "recieved" the gift just as he had. Which means he recieved it when he spoke in tongues just as Cornelius did.
Thank you for talking about topics that most dont cover
Brilliantly clarifying, as usual. Thank you!
"as usual"...
