The Charismatic received the gift of speaking in tongue some 100 years ago. Even earlier!
Do not forbid the Church to speak in tongue, tongue has not ceased, if you believe the Bible, the Bible has these verses,
1 Corinthians 12:28, "And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of tongues."
1 Corinthians 14:22
"Wherefore tongues are for a sign, not to them that believe, but to them that believe not: but prophesying serveth not for them that believe not, but for them which believe."
1 Corinthians 14:39
"Wherefore, brethren, covet to prophesy, and forbid not to speak with tongues."
I make another restatement here! Paul says:
1.Tongues are for a sign,
2.Forbid not to speak with tongues,
Restatement :This prove that Paul meant we must not forbid the working of sign, sign has not cease, we must not stop that sign!
Forbid not tongue, means forbid not a sign, because tongues are for a sign! How can one say sign is stopped by the perfection of the Canon! Who says that if the perfection of the Canon of the Bible, means the sign is stopped.
Paul continue to stressed one thing:
1 Corinthians 1:12, "What I mean is this: One of you says, "I follow Paul"; another, "I follow Apollos"; another, "I follow Cephas "; still another, "I follow Christ."
1 Corinthians 3:4
For when one says, "I follow Paul," and another, "I follow Apollos," are you not mere men?
Even thought the Corinthians had these trend of following man, they had divisions among themselve, but Paul says in the end, sum up his conclusions, remembers well, forbid not to speak with tongues.
Is tongues speaking not biblical?
Harden not your hearts!
