Tongues, tongues, always FALSE tongues....

The single biggest question I get throughout EVERY year is always the same, here's the latest from a sister in Africa, who's desperately trying to wade through the nonsense she's being taught:

Question: Pastor Keith, allow me ask you, can a born again christian be filled with the holy spirit but cannot speak in tongues?

Answer: LOL, of course! Speaking in tongues was merely ONE of the spiritual gifts. God gives those gifts as HE CHOOSES, not as our corrupt churches say. 1 Corinthians 12:11 is clear evidence of this. Besides, the way that "tongue speaking" is taught today is a total and complete LIE. If you read the verses in Acts regarding this matter, you will CLEARLY SEE that EACH ONE HEARD HIS OWN LANGUAGE, not some "heavenly dialect of angels" or whatever such nonsense. Thanks for your question.

1 Corinthians 12:11 - But one and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing to each one individually as He wills. 

Her reply: Thank you for taking your time to answer my question, truly you have shed light and some insight too that I needed,the church teachings today are confusing and somewhat twisted to somewhat go well with their beliefs. Bible references you quoted said it all so clearly. Again, thank you for your answer. God bless and keep you!

Please hear me, tongue speaking is just ONE GIFT of many.  To falsely believe that every TRUE Christian must PROVE they're a Christian by speaking nonsense-sounds is INSANE.  God gives out the gifts as HE WILLS, period.

If there's one post you should share this year, THIS just might be the one!

Thanks for reading, God Bless and be well!
