Amen. Praise the Lord brother!
Just as brother Paul asked John's disciples @ Ephesus in Acts 19, "unto what were ye baptized?" When they said they had not even heard of the Holy Ghost for He had not yet been poured out during the time of John the Baptist. We need to tell as many professing Christians as we can. This is how Christian's confess Christ (to others) to be saved after baptism as per Romans 10: 9, it's not a one shot deal. Praise God!
What you have witnessed I know not. What I do know is I myself have been Blessed to have received the Holy Ghost and I do not speak in tongues or "unknown tongues". The Spirit of Christ resides in me.
Where have you learned that speaking in tongues is "the gift"? Have you read ( 1 Corinthians 12? It explains "spiritual gifts". That there are diversities of "gifts" but the same Spirit. All unique members in the one body of Christ.
To try and move this to a higher level. What does speaking in "tongues" do for the Will of God? So your praise or prayer to the Lord is more important that my prayers? Because you don't know what your speaking but God does? I pray, praise, and give thanks from the heart as a loving child. If you have zeal for tongues, ok. I have zeal to follow Jesus Christ and do the Will of our Father in Heaven.
If you want to tell me I have not received the Holy Ghost because I don't speak in "tongues" know this. You do not know who you are posting to. You shall have to give account for your own words. Be careful.

Greetings in Jesus' name, Richard,
In every instance when a Christian received the gift of the Holy Ghost after the New Testament began in the book of Acts (the first Church), it was always accompanied with speaking in another tongue (Samaritans: Acts 8:16-18 , Gentiles- Acts 10:46, Jews- Acts 19:1-6).
This is the proof or earnest (token) of a Christian's inheritance ( Ephesians 1:14).
This was prophesied by the prophet Isaiah
11 For with stammering lips and another tongue will he speak to this people.
12 To whom he said, This is the rest wherewith ye may cause the weary to rest; and this is the refreshing: yet they would not hear.
With all due respect, a Christian does not receive the gift of the Holy Ghost and is not sealed thereby the moment they believe as many lying pastors/theologians teach (along with other false doctrines like the "trinity" "once saved always saved" "purgatory" etc). Likewise a feeling of peace is not evidence you have received the Holy Ghost. While I do agree there are many that speak false tongues in emulation (primarily in the "Pentecostal/Apostolic" businesses), that does not invalidate the real thing.
May I ask you Richard (in Christ), have you been baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of your sins ( Gal. 3:27)?
I was just getting ready to post a reply but I see no need to add anything to what you just said. Amen!
I think many people are being ruined today by this teaching. My personal belief is that the "tongues" that are being taught today are not the tongues of the bible!
Andrew, amen amen. It truly is Acts 2:38. As we follow Christ w love.Even the Holy Spirit asked me to tell others about having the indwelling of his Spirit. Many ppl think they have it , & they really don't. We can not live for God in the flesh. The Holy spirit indwelling is a supernatural birth from above. I spoke in tongues too. Praising Jesus daily
My small church speak in tongues. We pray in the Spirit. It is speaking to God. Only God understands. The "gifts of the Spirit" are totally separate. When receiving the Holy Ghost, THAT is the gift, not the utterance in the book of Acts. I have witnessed ppl speaking in tongues when receiving the Holy Ghost.
Just to reply on one of your statements. As living proof(myself) you do not need to speak in "unknown tongues" to know you have received the Holy Ghost. The second detail, about receiving the Holy Ghost, you stated is much more accurate and important than the first about "unknown tongues". Helping us to repent from sins of the flesh and follow the Lord walking after the Spirit.
In Acts 2 you will see it is stated "other tongues" and the people who surrounded the building understood them speaking in "our own tongues"(or their own native language). Which means it was not "unknown" babble. Also in ( 1 Corinthians 12 as it just being a specific Gift of the Holy Ghost. That not everyone receives who has the Holy Ghost. Then in ( 1 Corinthians 14 it states if "there be no interpreter" to keep silent in the church with your "tongue" gift.
It just saddens me to see some people state that you have to speak in "tongues" to know you have the Holy Ghost which is a false teaching.
Not knowing if that is what you preach. Hopefully I will receive a reply and thank you for your time.
Hi, The Holy Spirit in a believer (saved sinner) will provide peace by a lack of condemnation of inherited sin in one's soul. Questions five and six were/are part of my life.

Dear Fred,
The Holy Spirit is God the Father of the Lord Jesus Christ, the one true God ( John 17:3). You will know you have received the gift of the Holy Spirit when you speak in an unknown tongue and are filled with power to overcome sin by walking after the Spirit and not after the flesh.
As to the issue of sin and God fixing it, He sent His son to die for our sins. Peter preached the new testament gospel (as the NT didn't begin until the day of Pentecost) in Jerusalem to many of the same Jews that crucified Jesus. This Gospel is: Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. - Acts 2:38
Hallelujah! This is how one's (past) sins are remitted (in baptism, calling on the name of Jesus Christ and not the titles F,S&HS) and how one can receive power to live in victory over sin (receiving the gift of the Holy Ghost).
How do u know, what the spirit of the holy is? Is it a feeling, a revelation of some sort? A visit from an outsider? Perhaps a dream ,if so how to interpret it. Being cursed with sin, how can we interpret these things? Is the holy one, the new creature within us? Guiding and directing our path? How do we become one with the spirit? Praying seems fruitless, waiting for his answers, seems unending! Or , how about the times when we think we are in the spirit, and it is nothing more than our self-righteousness! How do we understand these questions, concerning these things of the holy! We are born into sin, our condition is beyond repair, how will God fix it? He must be the one to repair it! We can't. This would be a miracle, if all he had to do is snap his fingers! One thing I know, is I have a free will, How I use it depends on me!
God Himself instituted the 7th day sabbath since creation, since the foundation of the world. (No other people involved in the presence of God, save Adam and Eve) Jesus said He is Lord of the sabbath. The Pharisees expect Jesus to go by their law they made surrounding the sabbath and assume Jesus was just a mere man. Either they were ignorant focused on their own law or they missed something in the scroll.
The following portions of Scripture relate to the coming day when the Jews will recognize their Messiah, the One they first rejected - and still do.
Romans 11:25-27: "For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in. And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob: For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins." And verse 26 cross references to Isaiah 59:20,21.
Zechariah 12:10: "And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn."
When our first ancestor Adam disobeyed God, the entire human family was sold into slavery to the devil. Anyone who "sells their soul" is only acting out what is already the case, further deceiving themselves. None of us even owns our own soul, we are either a child of God by faith in Jesus Christ, or a child of the devil:
For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin. ( Romans 7:14)
In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth; And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will. ( 2 Timothy 2:25-26)
We know that whosoever is born of God sinneth not; but he that is begotten of God keepeth himself, and that wicked one toucheth him not. And we know that we are of God, and the whole world lieth in wickedness. ( 1 John 5:18-19)
Jesus Christ came to redeem us from bondage to sin and the devil:
Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ; Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works. ( Titus 2:13-14)
Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers; But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot: Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you, Who by him do believe in God, that raised him up from the dead, and gave him glory; that your faith and hope might be in God. ( 1 Peter 1:18-21)
Hello, God is the judge and He knows people's hearts and motives. Can someone who commits the sickest most wicked acts make a turnaround? Yes. Paul did- he wrote more of the New Testament books than anyone else.
So, we're not the judge. We only see one side. We see injustice and want justice, right? God see's the whole picture and knows exactly what is fair for each individual. Nothing is hidden. We also want God to treat us fairly too, right, and not harshly?
The Word says blasphemy of the holy spirit is the only unforgiveable sin. In my view, I think it's having knowledge of the truth, and still deliberately turning your back on God, and denying Him and Jesus. It's possible that Judas did that. But I personally believe people who don't know better, who have grown up in a dysfunctional environment and were brainwashed to not know right from wrong and who have lived a life of sin will indeed be forgiven if they genuinely turn to follow Jesus. God knows if its genuine or not. He knows our heart.
If a person sells their soul to the devil and kills animals,and babies bad goes through all of the weird rituals and sells babies to torture and eat and make billions please tell me they will burn in bell forever and can never be saved. Can anyone who sells their soul to the devil be saved?
"But Jesus withdrew himself with his disciples to the sea: and a great multitude from Galilee followed him, and from Judaea," What would be a rough estimate of a "great multitude"?

Mark 3:28-29
Verily I say unto you, All sins shall be forgiven unto the sons of men, and blasphemies wherewith soever they shall blaspheme:
BUT he that shall blaspheme against the Holy Ghost hath NEVER FORGIVENESS , but is in DANGER of eternal damnation:
Luke 12:10
And whosoever shall speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but unto him that blasphemeth against the Holy Ghost it shall not be forgiven.
2 Timothy 3:2
For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
The Work of the Holy Spirit. John 16
"I did not say these things to you from the beginning, because I was with you. 5But now I am going to him (Father) who sent me, and none of you asks me, 'Where are you going?' 6But because I have said these things to you, sorrow has filled your heart. 7Nevertheless, I tell you the truth: it is to your advantage that I go away, for if I do not go away, the Helper (HOLY SPIRIT) will not come to you. But if I go, I will send him to you. 8And when HE comes, HE will convict the world concerning sin and righteousness and judgment: 9concerning sin, because they do not believe in ME; 10concerning righteousness, because I go to the Father, and you will see me no longer; 11concerning judgment, because the ruler of this world (Satan) is judged.
12"I still have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now. 13When the Spirit of truth comes, HE will guide you into all the truth, for he will not speak on his own authority, but whatever he HEARS, he will speak, and he will declare to you the things that are to come. 14He will glorify me, for he will take what is mine and declare it to you. 15All that the Father has is mine; therefore I said that he will take what is mine and declare it to you.
My comment: if the Holy Spirit is not calling you (in your born again spirit), to return to Jesus, you are in danger of blaspheming.
There have been many opinions on this verse, indeed on this letter. The truth of the matter is that we don't know her name - it's not given anywhere in Scripture, & some even believing that the 'elect lady' actually refers to a Church & 'her children' being the congregation.
Those that have attempted to give her a name, have simply used the Greek definition for "elect" (eklekte) & "lady" (Kuria) & so named her. But there is no certainty of this. We could also see a similar use of naming folk in Mark 3:17: "And James the son of Zebedee, and John the brother of James; and he surnamed them Boanerges, which is, The sons of thunder." Because of their 'thunderous boldness' ( Luke 9:54, Mark 9:38), Jesus referred to them as 'Boanerges' (Ben-regesh).
One could also assume that John referred to the "elect lady" (Eklekte Kuria) as such because it was not common to refer to women directly by name in a personal letter but he did so inferring her piety & kindness shown other believers, particularly to itinerant preachers passing by her way. Thus the warning also goes out to her about false Christs bringing false doctrines & teaching, even as he warned believers in his first epistle. Yet in his third epistle, John openly referred to Gaius (a man) by name with a similar testimony of his service as was shown by the elect lady in 2 John.
Blasphemy is speaking against the Word of God, and speaking profanely about God. Man can be saved from every thing except blasphemy against the Holy Ghost. St. Mark 3:228-29: "All sins shall be forgiven unto the sons of men, and blasphemies wherewith soever they shall blaspheme. But he that shall blaspheme against the Holy Ghost hath never forgiveness, but is in danger of eternal damnation." This is truly unforgiving. Be warned never, never commit this act.
Bible doesn't say "don't paint eyes," but it is vain meaning it is not important. What is important is the spirit and good works. So you can paint your eyes if you want, but it is better to show people God in your life. Modesty is important.
Jeremiah 4:30 And when thou art spoiled, what wilt thou do? Though thou clothest thyself with crimson, though thou deckest thee with ornaments of gold, though thou rentest thy face with painting, in vain shalt thou make thyself fair; thy lovers will despise thee, they will seek thy life.
Proverbs 31:30 Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain: but a woman that feareth the LORD, she shall be praised.
First Timothy 2:9-10 In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array; But (which becometh women professing godliness) with good works.
Well, some may offer comment that the Bible does state this, but really, there is no direct command for women not to 'paint up'. Rather, it was well known in the olden days (& even now), that 'ladies of the night' were the ones who usually beautified themselves so as to attract customers.
So, with that in mind, including other enhancements to the face, hair, clothing, etc., the warning went out by apostle Paul to Timothy in 1 Tim 2:9, 10: "women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array. But (which becometh women professing godliness) with good works."
And Peter said in 1 Pet 3:3, 4: "Whose adorning let it not be that outward adorning of plaiting the hair, and of wearing of gold, or of putting on of apparel. But let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price."
I think that it has to be a personal understanding & conviction as to what to do in this regard, as it would be sin & vanity for any other reason other than to enhance one's appearance yet maintaining the demeanour of a woman practising godliness in both appearance & what she may inadvertently convey to men.
Just as brother Paul asked John's disciples @ Ephesus in Acts 19, "unto what were ye baptized?" When they said they had not even heard of the Holy Ghost for He had not yet been poured out during the time of John the Baptist. We need to tell as many professing Christians as we can. This is how Christian's confess Christ (to others) to be saved after baptism as per Romans 10: 9, it's not a one shot deal. Praise God!

Those that have attempted to give her a name, have simply used the Greek definition for "elect" (eklekte) & "lady" (Kuria) & so named her. But there is no certainty of this. We could also see a similar use of naming folk in Mark 3:17: "And James the son of Zebedee, and John the brother of James; and he surnamed them Boanerges, which is, The sons of thunder." Because of their 'thunderous boldness' ( Luke 9:54, Mark 9:38), Jesus referred to them as 'Boanerges' (Ben-regesh).
