The science behind Speaking in tongues
 
New scientific study shows that our Language Center of the Brain Is Not Under the Control of Subjects Who “Speak in Tongues”

And this only happens to those who know Jesus as Savior and when we worship Jesus...

WoooHooo! :jum
The TRUTH of this is exactly how I have told you folks it is, in the past...

How to Receive the Holy Ghost ?

Acts 2:4-8
4 And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.
5 And there were dwelling in Jerusalem Jews, devout men, from every nation under heaven. 6 And when this sound occurred, the multitude came together, and were confused, because everyone heard them speak in his own language. 7 Then they were all amazed and marveled, saying to one another, "Look, are not all these who speak Galileans? 8 And how is it that we hear, each in our own language in which we were born?


Hunger and thirst
The first and foremost requirement if for you to desire it, and seek for it. It make take a little time to concentrate and to completely convince yourself that this is worth taking the time for. We busy people are so self-sufficient....

Repent
Next, you must repent. This simply means turning from selfish will, and sins which are obvious to you. You know in your heart that you are not strong enough to guarantee that you will never do it again, but for a moment, for a day, and before the presence of God, you can sincerely put yourself in His hands, and agree that you need to repent.

Worship You should gravitate to either a place of intense prayer, or an atmosphere where there is dynamic, lively and sincere praise and worship. If you seek the Holy Ghost, make this kind of environment your mainstay, as much as possible.

Consecrate
Don't hang out with people who discourage you, and are very cynical. Any old mule can kick down a stall, but care is required to design and build one. Jesus Christ is the baptizer in the Holy Ghost. He is doing a careful and perfect work. Give Him honor, and separate your spirit unto His. That means neglecting some old attitudes, and some people who will try to dissuade you!

Relax,
let God have his way in your immediate life. Worship him vocally. This is important! Open your mouth, and audibly speak to God. Raise your hands. Empty your heart of everything except praise for the Lord Jesus Christ. Tell Him you love Him! Drive out distracting thoughts. Be willing to say to doubt, "I hear you, but I believe that God's word is true, and God does desire to give me his Spirit". Don't let thoughts of unworthiness condemn you. We are all unworthy of the beautiful gift of the Holy Spirit!

And ...
When you do receive the Spirit, you will begin to speak in other tongues. You must be unhindered and willing to open your mouth and to speak out the strange sounds and utterances which you feel pushing outward from within. This is perfectly right, and furthermore, it is expected. It is the resulting evidence which God provides. The utterance comes from the Spirit, but it is your tongue, diaphragm, and facial muscles which actually make the sounds. Don't force yourself to speak in tongues, rather open up, and allow it to happen as you concentrate on the beauty of the Lord Jesus Christ. And Boom, you will suddenly burst forth speaking in a language you never learned or knew before! The Spirit of Jesus will be speaking right out of your mouth!
and you will know what it is to be like the first apostils... You will know what the prophets never knew and could only foretell for you WILL be Truly Born Again!

Acts 2:16-18
16 But this is what was spoken by the prophet Joel: 17 'And it shall come to pass in the last days, says God, That I will pour out of My Spirit on all flesh; Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, Your young men shall see visions, Your old men shall dream dreams. 18 And on My menservants and on My maidservants I will pour out My Spirit in those days; And they shall prophesy.

Isaiah 28:11-12
11 For with stammering lips and another tongue He will speak to this people, 12 To whom He said, "This is the rest with which You may cause the weary to rest," And, "This is the refreshing"; Yet they would not hear.

Before you get too excited, wait for the tests of the pagans that speak in tongues and see if thier scans are the same.

Brother, beware how you refer to God's anointed! God is not Slack... :naut

with that said,
re-read the artical again...it said THERE is NO loss of self control... simply that the language centers are not in use...

Why? becuase The Holy Ghost is the one doing the talking... :thup2

they wont be...

and...
Isaiah 5:20-21
20 Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; Who put darkness for light, and light for darkness; Who put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! 21 Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes, And prudent in their own sight!

Sissy 11-22-2006 04:08 PM

Well you little turd!

I did not call you evil.
I did not call those test evil.

But if you keep this up I may change my mind.

Aaaah, but you did compare the direct act of God's Holy Spirit to that of Pagans thru witchcraft...
So in a very real sense, you cast doubt on The miricals of the Holy Spirit and lifted up the evil works of satan as equal... :eek:

Be careful.....What does the bible say about doing such things?
Matthew 12:31-37

oh, and you shouldn't talk about your brother that way.... :snoot

Sissy 11-22-2006 04:32 PM

You can blow it out your ear.

I'm done with you.
I have actually defended you to others.
But that's past now.

They were right. You have a one-track mind. It's all about YOU.

Post whatever garbage you want to about me. Have at it. I will never respond to another post of yours.

Invisible_2_no1 11-22-2006 04:44 PM

I too have defended Steadfast.

Brother, you need to repent.

Your pride is growing and your arrogance flies in His face.

Re-read your words and think about what you are saying.

You think they'll get injected with the same crap?
:mrgreen:
What kind of proof is that?
That demons can posses humans?
Of course they wouldn't say that's what it is.
It must be the "Holy Spirit"

It just gets more rediculous.
Like the crapture doctrine.

When you corner them, they make something else up to justify their stupidity.

Woah!

Invisible_2_no1 11-25-2006 03:40 PM

So is "slain in the Spirit" and "praying in the Spirit" the same as speaking tongues?

Steadfast 11-27-2006 07:57 AM

Wow, you guys really have some stinky rotten fruit when it comes to this topic!

Stan, you are way out of line, and treading spiritually dangerous ground...
In fact, by suggesting these folks are demonically possessed, in your ignorance to the things of God, you have come a breathe away from blaspheming the Spirit... Be careful!
I think Repentance is a good thing all the way around...

Thankyou for you admonishment sister...
I will take this concern to the LORD...

as for your question...

Slain in the Spirit, from what I have seen, is when someone is so overwhelmed with the glory of God they fall to the grownd in worship...

Praying in the spirit, from what I have seen, involves tongues but should be done quietly or in private... It is a time when the Spirit is ministering to you thru worship in tongues. It is meant to strengthen and edify your personal walk with God...

The gift of Tongues, from what I have seen, that is loud and in the middle of a congregation is meant to be interpreted, and always is... It is a direct form of God comunicating to a congregation... Basically jesus saying "excuse me pastor I have somthing more to say here..."

So if God were to minister to me thru tongues while I am praying to Him, how would I understand what in the blazes I was trying to tell Him?

If the Holy Spirit were to minister to me, through my quiet prayer time, how would I understand if I am speaking a language never learned?

Do as you wish...
Your Religious walk is It's all about YOU RUNNING FROM GOD'S SPIRIT anyway you can....

Post whatever garbage you want to about me. Have at it. Until you obey Acts 2:38, as seen in Acts 19:1-6, you will never Understand what truly being born again is...

Enjoy your incomplete, easy believism, religion of men...

One day, you will realize what you are throwing away!
I will pray it is not after the door is shut...
Matthew 25:1-13
