TODAY'S
PRESENTATION IS AN EXCERPT FROM

THE "EVERLASTING
GOSPEL" VIDEO SERIES.
00:00:44.33\00:00:48.76
>> I WANT TO BEGIN BY
TELLING YOU A LITTLE STORY.
00:00:52.13\00:00:56.13
MORE THAN 30 YEARS AGO
WHEN I WAS A BABY CHRISTIAN,
00:00:56.13\00:01:00.20
I WAS HITCHHIKING
IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA.
00:01:00.20\00:01:03.13
I DON'T EVEN REMEMBER WHERE
I WAS GOING BUT I DO REMEMBER
00:01:03.13\00:01:04.80
I WAS PICKED UP BY A MATRONLY
LADY, VERY NICE AND SHE QUICKLY
00:01:04.80\00:01:11.83
SHARED WITH ME THAT
SHE WAS A CHRISTIAN.
00:01:11.83\00:01:15.16
AND BEFORE SHE DROPPED ME OFF
AT THE NEXT ON-RAMP WHERE I WAS
00:01:15.16\00:01:17.76
GOING, SHE SAID, "MY
HOUSE IS NOT FAR FROM HERE.
00:01:17.76\00:01:19.96
CAN I GET YOU SOME LUNCH?"
00:01:19.96\00:01:21.10
I THOUGHT THAT'D BE VERY NICE.
00:01:21.10\00:01:22.43
TOOK ME TO HER HOME, FED ME
A NICE SANDWICH OR SOMETHING.
00:01:22.43\00:01:25.53
AND SHE SAID, "NOW I NEED
TO ASK YOU, HAVE YOU RECEIVED
00:01:25.53\00:01:30.00
THE HOLY SPIRIT?"
00:01:30.00\00:01:32.73
AND I SAID--NO ONE HAD EVER
ASKED ME THAT BEFORE BECAUSE
00:01:32.73\00:01:36.76
I JUST WAS A NEW CHRISTIAN.
00:01:36.76\00:01:38.30
I ACCEPTED JESUS UP IN THE CAVE.
00:01:38.30\00:01:41.23
AND I SAID, "WELL, I BELIEVE
I HAVE BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, THE
00:01:41.23\00:01:45.46
LORD HAD BEEN GIVING ME VICTORY
OVER MY BAD LANGUAGE AND DRUGS
00:01:45.46\00:01:49.83
AND THESE DIFFERENT THINGS."
00:01:49.83\00:01:50.80
AND SHE SAID, "NO, NO, NO,
I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT THAT."
00:01:50.80\00:01:54.50
SHE SAID, "I WANT TO KNOW
HAVE YOU RECEIVED THE BAPTISM OF
00:01:54.50\00:01:56.80
THE HOLY SPIRIT, DO
YOU SPEAK IN TONGUES?"
00:01:56.80\00:01:59.43
AND I SAID, "NO."
00:01:59.43\00:02:01.23
AND SHE SAID, "WELL, THEN
YOU HAVEN'T RECEIVED THE BAPTISM
00:02:01.23\00:02:03.20
OF THE HOLY SPIRIT."
00:02:03.20\00:02:05.26
AND SHE LAUNCHED INTO A BIBLE
STUDY THAT, TO ME, SEEMED A
00:02:05.26\00:02:07.80
LITTLE BIT OUT OF BALANCE WITH
WHAT I WAS READING IN THE BIBLE.
00:02:07.80\00:02:14.60
AND IT WASN'T LONG AFTER
THAT I BEGAN TO WORSHIP, I WAS
00:02:14.60\00:02:17.33
NOT PART OF THIS CHURCH.
00:02:17.33\00:02:19.53
I BEGAN TO WORSHIP WITH A
VARIETY OF DIFFERENT CHURCHES,
00:02:19.53\00:02:22.96
MOSTLY CHARISMATIC
CHURCHES IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA,
00:02:22.96\00:02:26.63
IN PALM SPRINGS, THAT PRACTICED
THE SPEAKING OF TONGUES THE WAY
00:02:26.63\00:02:30.40
IT IS DONE IN ABOUT 50% OF
THE CHURCHES IN NORTH AMERICA,
00:02:30.40\00:02:33.73
WITH THESE ECSTATIC UTTERANCES.
00:02:33.73\00:02:36.30
AND I JUST DID NOT HAVE PEACE,
EVEN THOUGH I HAD A LOT OF
00:02:36.30\00:02:40.23
FRIENDS THERE, LOVELY PEOPLE,
THAT IT WAS WHAT I WAS FINDING
00:02:40.23\00:02:45.06
WHEN I READ THE BIBLE.
00:02:45.06\00:02:47.06
AND SO I REALLY DELVED
INTO A STUDY ON THIS SUBJECT
00:02:47.06\00:02:51.36
AND WAS VERY
SURPRISED BY WHAT I LEARNED.
00:02:51.36\00:02:54.73
NOW THIS IS SOMETHING I THINK
WE NEED TO ADDRESS BECAUSE IT
00:02:54.73\00:02:59.30
IS PERMEATING CHRISTIANITY.
00:02:59.30\00:03:02.80
A MISUNDERSTANDING OF
THIS DOCTRINE IS NOT ONLY
00:03:02.80\00:03:05.90
INFLUENCING THE ONE SUBJECT
OF THE ONE GIFT OF THE SPIRIT
00:03:05.90\00:03:09.50
DEALING WITH TONGUES, BUT A LOT
THAT IT ALSO INVOLVES IS COMING
00:03:09.50\00:03:14.56
INTO MANY OF THE
MAINLINE PROTESTANT CHURCHES.
00:03:14.56\00:03:18.10
NOW THE DEVIL HAS LAID AN EGG
IN THE CHURCH THAT IS BEING FED
00:03:18.10\00:03:24.23
AND NOURISHED, AND IT'S
DISPLACING THE OTHER GIFTS
00:03:24.23\00:03:26.36
OF THE SPIRIT.
00:03:26.36\00:03:27.36
IT BECOMES A BIG DISTRACTION,
AND IT BECOMES A COUNTERFEIT
00:03:27.36\00:03:31.00
FOR THE REAL HOLY SPIRIT.
00:03:31.00\00:03:33.86
BEFORE I TALK ABOUT
SOME OF THE CONFUSED GIFTS OF
00:03:33.86\00:03:36.00
THE SPIRIT, I WANT TO
EXPLAIN WHAT THE TRUE IS.
00:03:36.00\00:03:39.13
GOD DOES GIVE HIS PEOPLE IN HIS
CHURCH GIFTS OF THE SPIRIT FOR
00:03:39.13\00:03:42.70
THE PURPOSE OF
SHARING THE GOSPEL.
00:03:42.70\00:03:44.73
FOR INSTANCE, READ IN
EPHESIANS 4:8, "THEREFORE
00:03:44.73\00:03:49.03
HE SAYS WHEN HE ASCENDED
ON HIGH, HE LED CAPTIVITY
00:03:49.03\00:03:52.66
CAPTIVE AND
GAVE GIFTS UNTO MEN."
00:03:52.66\00:03:56.33
WHEN WE ARE MARRIED TO
CHRIST THROUGH BAPTISM,
00:03:56.33\00:03:58.93
WE GET A WEDDING GIFT.
00:03:58.93\00:04:00.40
THAT'S THE HOLY SPIRIT REPENT
AND BE BAPTIZED, AND YOU SHALL
00:04:00.40\00:04:03.33
RECEIVE THE GIFT
OF THE HOLY SPIRIT.
00:04:03.33\00:04:05.63
THAT GIFT MANIFESTS
ITSELF DIFFERENT WAYS.
00:04:05.63\00:04:08.63
THERE ARE A NUMBER
OF GIFTS OF THE SPIRIT.
00:04:08.63\00:04:10.73
FOR INSTANCE, 1
CORINTHIANS 12:7,
00:04:10.73\00:04:13.43
"BUT THE MANIFESTATION OF
THE SPIRIT IS GIVEN TO EACH ONE
00:04:13.43\00:04:16.60
FOR THE PROFIT OF ALL."
00:04:16.60\00:04:17.93
GOD GIVES EVERYBODY WHO BECOMES
HIS CHILD VARIOUS GIFTS OF
00:04:17.93\00:04:22.60
THE SPIRIT FOR THE PURPOSE
OF MINISTERING FOR CHRIST,
00:04:22.60\00:04:26.20
THAT CHRIST MIGHT
OPERATE THROUGH YOU.
00:04:26.20\00:04:28.93
AND IT GOES ON TO SAY HERE,
"FOR TO ONE IS GIVEN THE WORD
00:04:28.93\00:04:32.03
OF WISDOM THROUGH THE SPIRIT
TO ANOTHER THE WORD OF KNOWLEDGE
00:04:32.03\00:04:34.63
THROUGH THE SAME SPIRIT,
TO ANOTHER FAITH BY THE SAME
00:04:34.63\00:04:37.63
SPIRIT, TO ANOTHER GIFTS
OF HEALING BY THE SPIRIT,
00:04:37.63\00:04:40.53
TO ANOTHER WORKING OF MIRACLES,
TO ANOTHER PROPHECY, TO ANOTHER
00:04:40.53\00:04:44.20
DISCERNING OF THE SPIRITS,
TO ANOTHER DIFFERENT KINDS OF
00:04:44.20\00:04:47.00
TONGUES, TO ANOTHER THE
INTERPRETATION OF TONGUES."
00:04:47.00\00:04:52.10
TONGUES IS ONE OF THE
GIFTS OF THE SPIRIT, BUT IT IS
00:04:52.10\00:04:57.26
NOT THE ONLY GIFT.
00:04:57.26\00:04:59.60
THE GIFT OF TONGUES
REPRESENTS A LANGUAGE.
00:04:59.60\00:05:04.90
NOW IF WE'RE GOING TO
UNDERSTAND WHAT THE GENUINE
00:05:04.90\00:05:07.56
GIFT OF TONGUES IS, IT'S
PROBABLY A GOOD IDEA FOR US TO
00:05:07.56\00:05:10.43
READ WHAT JESUS
SAYS HERE IN MATTHEW 28.
00:05:10.43\00:05:16.10
"THE LORD TOLD THE DISCIPLES,
'GO YE AND TEACH ALL NATIONS,
00:05:16.10\00:05:21.16
GO TO ALL NATIONS PREACHING
IN THE NAME OF THE--OR BAPTIZING
00:05:21.16\00:05:26.96
THEM IN THE NAME OF THE FATHER,
SON AND THE HOLY SPIRIT.'"
00:05:26.96\00:05:29.50
IN ORDER FOR THEM TO FULFILL
THE GREAT COMMISSION AND GO TO
00:05:29.50\00:05:33.00
ALL THE WORLD, THEY WOULD NEED
SOME KIND OF AN ADDITIONAL GIFT
00:05:33.00\00:05:35.23
BECAUSE OF THE 12 APOSTLES,
HOW MANY OF THEM WERE JEWISH?
00:05:35.23\00:05:41.03
ONE HUNDRED PERCENT.
00:05:41.03\00:05:42.86
WHAT DID THEY SPEAK?
00:05:42.86\00:05:44.70
HEBREW, ARAMAIC, THEY PROBABLY
UNDERSTOOD SOME LATIN 'CAUSE
00:05:44.70\00:05:47.73
THEY DID HAVE THE
ROMANS OCCUPYING THEM.
00:05:47.73\00:05:49.76
MAYBE A LITTLE BIT OF GREEK
'CAUSE THE GREEKS HAD OCCUPIED
00:05:49.76\00:05:52.30
A FEW YEARS EARLIER.
00:05:52.30\00:05:54.03
NOW JESUS SAID, "GO
TEACH THE WHOLE WORLD."
00:05:54.03\00:05:56.46
HOW IS HE GONNA GET THESE
BRIGHT BUT MOSTLY UNEDUCATED
00:05:56.46\00:05:58.80
MEN TO PREACH THE
GOSPEL IN ALL THE WORLD?
00:05:58.80\00:06:02.36
MARK 16:17 TELLS
US WHAT HE WOULD DO.
00:06:02.36\00:06:06.80
"THESE SIGNS--" MARK
16:17, "THESE SIGNS SHALL FOLLOW
00:06:06.80\00:06:11.90
THOSE THAT BELIEVE.
00:06:11.90\00:06:13.16
IN MY NAME
THEY'LL CAST OUT DEMONS.
00:06:13.16\00:06:15.23
THEY WILL SPEAK
WITH NEW TONGUES."
00:06:15.23\00:06:18.06
NOW NOTICE SOMETHING HERE,
JESUS SAID IT WOULD BE A SIGN,
00:06:18.06\00:06:20.70
A SUPERNATURAL SIGN.
00:06:20.70\00:06:23.13
IT IS A SUPERNATURAL ABILITY
TO SPEAK TONGUES FOR THE PURPOSE
00:06:23.13\00:06:26.96
OF SPREADING THE GOSPEL.
00:06:26.96\00:06:28.36
NOW IF YOU'RE WONDERING
WHAT THE GIFT OF TONGUES IS,
00:06:28.36\00:06:30.60
THE BEST EXAMPLES ARE
GIVEN IN THE BOOK OF ACTS.
00:06:30.60\00:06:33.46
YOU LOOK AT THE
STORY AT PENTECOST.
00:06:33.46\00:06:36.10
TURN WITH ME TO ACTS 2.
00:06:36.10\00:06:38.96
THERE ARE THREE, HOW MANY?
00:06:38.96\00:06:42.50
THREE EXAMPLES OF SPEAKING
IN TONGUES IN THE BIBLE.
00:06:42.50\00:06:45.93
NOT FOUR, THERE ARE
ONLY THREE EXAMPLES OF THIS
00:06:45.93\00:06:48.70
HAPPENING.
00:06:48.70\00:06:50.33
SOME PEOPLE THINK EVERY
TIME YOU'RE FILLED WITH THE
00:06:50.33\00:06:52.26
HOLY SPIRIT, YOU
SPEAK WITH TONGUES.
00:06:52.26\00:06:54.13
THE BIBLE DOES NOT TEACH THAT.
00:06:54.13\00:06:56.16
THERE ARE 18 TIMES IN JUST THE
NEW TESTAMENT, HOW MANY TIMES?
00:06:56.16\00:07:01.13
EIGHTEEN TIMES IN THE NEW
TESTAMENT WHEN PEOPLE WERE
00:07:01.13\00:07:03.73
FILLED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT.
00:07:03.73\00:07:04.83
ONLY 3 OUT OF THE THOSE 18
WAS IT CONNECTED WITH TONGUES.
00:07:04.83\00:07:08.83
THE OTHER TIMES THEY WERE
SIMPLY PREACHING THE WORD,
00:07:08.83\00:07:11.73
AND I'LL GIVE YOU SOME EXAMPLES
OF THAT IN A LITTLE FURTHER ON.
00:07:11.73\00:07:16.50
ACTS 2:1, "WHEN THE DAY OF
PENTECOST HAD FULLY COME, THEY
00:07:16.50\00:07:22.16
WERE ALL IN ONE
ACCORD IN ONE PLACE."
00:07:22.16\00:07:25.13
ALL RIGHT, THIS IS ONLY A SHORT
TIME AFTER THE OUTPOURING OF
00:07:25.13\00:07:28.73
THE HOLY SPIRIT, OR
AFTER THE ASCENSION OF JESUS.
00:07:28.73\00:07:33.53
JESUS DID NOT TELL THE
DISCIPLES AT FIRST TO GO TO
00:07:33.53\00:07:37.33
THE WORLD AT LARGE.
00:07:37.33\00:07:39.90
HE SAID, "YOU'LL RECEIVE
THE HOLY SPIRIT, AND I WANT YOU
00:07:39.90\00:07:41.80
TO START PREACHING
IN JERUSALEM AND JUDEA."
00:07:41.80\00:07:45.60
THOSE ARE JEWISH, "THEN SAMARIA
THEN THE UTTERMOST PARTS OF
00:07:45.60\00:07:48.93
THE EARTH."
00:07:48.93\00:07:49.73
BUT THEY WERE TO BEGIN NOT
GOING TO THE GENTILES BUT GOING
00:07:49.73\00:07:54.33
FIRST TO THE LOST
SHEEP OF THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL.
00:07:54.33\00:07:56.90
THEY WERE NOT COMMANDED
TO GO TO THE GENTILES UNTIL
00:07:56.90\00:07:59.70
THE STONING OF
STEPHEN AND THE SUPREME COURT
00:07:59.70\00:08:02.36
OF THE JEWISH NATION
PLUGGED THEIR EARS AND REJECTED
00:08:02.36\00:08:05.26
THAT WONDERFUL
PRESENTATION OF THE GOSPEL.
00:08:05.26\00:08:08.86
SO DURING PENTECOST, JEWS CAME
FROM ALL OVER THE ROMAN EMPIRE,
00:08:08.86\00:08:13.20
BUT THEY DIDN'T
ALL SPEAK JEWISH.
00:08:13.20\00:08:14.76
LISTEN, "NOW SUDDENLY
THERE CAME FROM HEAVEN THE SOUND
00:08:14.76\00:08:19.10
OF A RUSHING, MIGHTY WIND
AND IT FILLED THE HOUSE WHERE
00:08:19.10\00:08:22.43
THEY WERE ALL SITTING.
00:08:22.43\00:08:23.86
THEN THERE APPEARED UNTO THEM
DIVIDED TONGUES, CLOVEN TONGUES
00:08:23.86\00:08:27.06
OF FIRE AND IT SAT
ON EACH ONE OF THEM.
00:08:27.06\00:08:31.03
AND THEY WERE ALL FILLED WITH
THE HOLY SPIRIT AND THEY BEGAN
00:08:31.03\00:08:33.16
TO SPEAK WITH OTHER TONGUES."
00:08:33.16\00:08:35.16
WHAT DOES THAT
WORD "TONGUES" MEAN?
00:08:35.16\00:08:37.23
LANGUAGES.
00:08:37.23\00:08:38.40
"AS THE SPIRIT
GAVE THEM UTTERANCE."
00:08:38.40\00:08:40.70
IN OTHER WORDS, THE HOLY SPIRIT
WOULD INSPIRE DIFFERENT ONES TO
00:08:40.70\00:08:44.50
SPEAK AT DIFFERENT TONGUES
AND SHARE A MESSAGE ABOUT JESUS
00:08:44.50\00:08:49.36
AND THE GOSPEL.
00:08:49.36\00:08:51.03
"NOW THEY WERE DWELLING--"
THEY WERE ABIDING OR CAMPING
00:08:51.03\00:08:54.23
IN JERUSALEM.
00:08:54.23\00:08:56.10
JEWS, WHO?
00:08:56.10\00:08:58.43
THEY WEREN'T GOING
TO THE GENTILES YET.
00:08:58.43\00:09:00.43
"DEVOUT MEN OUT OF--"
THESE WERE THE JEWS WHO WERE
00:09:00.43\00:09:04.40
DEVOTED ENOUGH TO
COME TO THE ANNUAL FEAST.
00:09:04.40\00:09:07.80
"DEVOUT MEN OUT OF
EVERY NATION UNDER HEAVEN."
00:09:07.80\00:09:12.33
JEWS HAD BEEN DISPERSED
ALL OVER THE WORLD, NOT ONLY
00:09:12.33\00:09:15.03
BECAUSE OF THE ROMANS
BUT BECAUSE OF THE GREEKS.
00:09:15.03\00:09:18.03
THEY WERE MERCHANTS AND
THEY WERE ENTREPRENEURS AND
00:09:18.03\00:09:21.26
TRAVELERS AND THEY WERE
ALL OVER THE ROMAN EMPIRE.
00:09:21.26\00:09:24.03
SO GOD IS GETTING READY TO
DO SOMETHING BRILLIANT HERE.
00:09:24.03\00:09:29.80
"THERE WERE DEVOUT
JEWS DWELLING IN JERUSALEM."
00:09:29.80\00:09:32.60
THEY'RE THERE FOR THE FEAST
OF PENTECOST, "FROM EVERY NATION
00:09:32.60\00:09:34.93
UNDER HEAVEN.
00:09:34.93\00:09:36.00
AND WHEN THE SOUND OCCURRED,
THE MULTITUDE CAME TOGETHER."
00:09:36.00\00:09:39.50
THEY HEARD THE MIGHTY, RUSHING
WINDS AND ALL THE CROWD CAME
00:09:39.50\00:09:41.63
NEAR THE UPPER ROOM AND
THERE MUST HAVE BEEN A COURTYARD
00:09:41.63\00:09:43.76
PRESENT.
00:09:43.76\00:09:46.00
"AND THEY WERE CONFUSED
BECAUSE EVERYONE HEARD THEM,"
00:09:46.00\00:09:48.86
THE DISCIPLES,
"SPEAK IN HIS OWN LANGUAGE.
00:09:48.86\00:09:53.46
THEY WERE ALL AMAZED AND THEY
MARVELED AND THEY SAID TO ONE
00:09:53.46\00:09:55.40
ANOTHER, 'LOOK, ARE NOT ALL
THESE WHO SPEAK GALILEANS?'"
00:09:55.40\00:09:59.76
THAT MEANS THEY SPOKE
THE LANGUAGE OF THE GALILEANS
00:09:59.76\00:10:02.10
WHICH WAS ARAMAIC.
00:10:02.10\00:10:04.43
"HOW IS THAT WE HEAR EACH
MAN OUR OWN LANGUAGE IN WHICH WE
00:10:04.43\00:10:09.13
WERE BORN?
00:10:09.13\00:10:10.53
PARTHIANS AND MEDES AND
ELAMITES AND THOSE DWELLING
00:10:10.53\00:10:13.53
IN MESOPOTAMIA, JUDEA, AND
CAPPADOCIA IN PONTUS AND ASIA.
00:10:13.53\00:10:17.03
PHRYGIA, PAMPHYLIA, EGYPT
AND THE PARTS OF LIBYA ADJOINING
00:10:17.03\00:10:20.40
CYRENE, VISITORS FROM
BOTH ROME, JEWS, PROSELYTES."
00:10:20.40\00:10:24.26
THESE ARE CONVERTS TO
JUDAISM WHO WEREN'T EVEN JEWISH
00:10:24.26\00:10:26.93
BY BLOOD, THE PROSELYTES.
00:10:26.93\00:10:28.86
"CRETIANS AND ARABIANS--"
LISTEN, "WE HEAR THEM BABBLING
00:10:28.86\00:10:32.66
INCOHERENTLY
ECSTATIC UTTERANCES.
00:10:32.66\00:10:36.13
WE HEAR THEM UTTERING
ALL KINDS OF GIBBERISH.
00:10:36.13\00:10:38.40
WE DON'T KNOW
WHAT THEY'RE SAYING."
00:10:38.40\00:10:40.03
THAT'S NOT WHAT THEY SAID.
00:10:40.03\00:10:41.40
"WE HEAR THEM SPEAKING IN
OUR LANGUAGES, OUR TONGUES
00:10:41.40\00:10:45.23
THE WONDERFUL WORKS OF GOD."
00:10:45.23\00:10:47.56
DID THEY KNOW
WHAT THEY WERE SAYING?
00:10:47.56\00:10:49.66
THEY WERE SPEAKING
REAL LANGUAGES OF THE WORLD
00:10:49.66\00:10:52.00
FOR THE PURPOSE OF
PREACHING THE GOSPEL.
00:10:52.00\00:10:54.13
YOU SEE WHEN MAN REBELLED
AGAINST GOD, HE CURSED THEIR
00:10:54.13\00:10:56.83
TONGUES AND IT BECAME
CONFUSION IN BABBLING.
00:10:56.83\00:10:59.90
WHEN THE HOLY SPIRIT WAS POURED
OUT, IT REVERSED THE CONFUSION,
00:10:59.90\00:11:03.73
NOW THERE'S COMPREHENSION.
00:11:03.73\00:11:05.53
THEY UNDERSTAND THE STORY
OF JESUS BEING THE MESSIAH,
00:11:05.53\00:11:08.46
THOUSANDS WERE CONVERTED
DURING THAT WEEK, 3,000 THEN
00:11:08.46\00:11:11.96
5,000 A FEW DAYS LATER.
00:11:11.96\00:11:13.53
THEY THEN GO AWAY FROM
THE FEAST, THEY FAN OUT ACROSS
00:11:13.53\00:11:16.93
THE ROMAN EMPIRE, THEY TAKE BACK
TO THEIR RESPECTIVE COUNTRIES
00:11:16.93\00:11:20.96
THE TRUTH THAT THE MESSIAH
HAD COME, HIS NAME WAS JESUS.
00:11:20.96\00:11:23.90
SO THE JEWS WERE THE FIRST
ONES TO SPREAD THE GOSPEL AROUND
00:11:23.90\00:11:27.73
THE WORLD BECAUSE THEY
HEARD IT IN THEIR OWN TONGUE.
00:11:27.73\00:11:30.90
THE LORD HAD TO DO SOMETHING
MIRACULOUS TO GIVE THEM THAT
00:11:30.90\00:11:33.23
ABILITY TO BE ABLE TO PREACH
THE GOSPEL EVERYWHERE, RIGHT?
00:11:33.23\00:11:37.16
THAT'S THE GIFT OF TONGUES.
00:11:37.16\00:11:40.06
WHAT YOU'RE SEEING IN MILLIONS
OF CHURCHES AROUND THE WORLD
00:11:40.06\00:11:46.80
MASQUERADING AS THE GIFT OF
TONGUES IS REALLY RANK PAGANISM
00:11:46.80\00:11:50.63
THAT HAS FOUND ITS WAY
INTO THE CHURCH AND HAS CAUSED
00:11:50.63\00:11:53.93
CONFUSION.
00:11:53.93\00:11:54.90
AND AGAIN, I WANT TO EMPHASIZE
GOOD PEOPLE, DEAR PEOPLE, SOME
00:11:54.90\00:11:57.56
OF THEM ARE HERE TODAY.
00:11:57.56\00:11:59.23
I KNOW SOME ARE LISTENING THAT
HAVE COME OUT OF THESE CHURCHES
00:11:59.23\00:12:02.46
LIKE MYSELF THAT ARE
BEING CONFUSED BY THIS.
00:12:02.46\00:12:07.40
NOW I SAID THERE'S THREE
EXAMPLES OF SPEAKING IN TONGUES
00:12:07.40\00:12:09.33
IN THE BIBLE.
00:12:09.33\00:12:10.36
THE OTHER EXAMPLE IS CORNELIUS,
AND I'M NOT GONNA HAVE TIME
00:12:10.36\00:12:13.00
TO READ ALL THESE IN DEPTH.
00:12:13.00\00:12:14.26
IF YOU READ IN ACTS 10,
YOU'LL READ WHERE CORNELIUS
00:12:14.26\00:12:20.86
WAS A ROMAN CENTURION.
00:12:20.86\00:12:23.70
NOW THE GOSPEL'S
GOING TO THE GENTILES.
00:12:23.70\00:12:25.66
THIS IS AFTER THE
STONING OF STEPHEN.
00:12:25.66\00:12:27.90
PETER GOES TO THIS
HOUSE, IT'S THE FIRST TIME HE'S
00:12:27.90\00:12:30.56
PREACHING TO A GENTILE.
00:12:30.56\00:12:31.76
CORNELIUS IS A
CENTURION FROM THE ITALIAN BAND.
00:12:31.76\00:12:35.96
WHAT LANGUAGE DO
YOU THINK THEY SPOKE?
00:12:35.96\00:12:38.56
LATIN, ITALIAN, RIGHT?
00:12:38.56\00:12:40.36
HE'S GOT
SERVANTS IN HIS HOUSEHOLD.
00:12:40.36\00:12:43.20
THE SERVANTS IN THE ROMAN
EMPIRE COULD BE FROM ANYWHERE.
00:12:43.20\00:12:45.80
THEY SPOKE OTHER LANGUAGES.
00:12:45.80\00:12:47.56
PETER WHO SPEAKS JEWISH NOW
IS BEING INVITED BY THE SERVANTS
00:12:47.56\00:12:51.20
IN CORNELIUS' HOUSEHOLD TO
GO AND AN ANGEL SAID, "PETER'S
00:12:51.20\00:12:54.70
GONNA COME AND HE'S
GONNA TEACH TO YOU."
00:12:54.70\00:12:56.73
PETER BEGINS TO TALK,
THEY UNDERSTAND PARTIALLY
00:12:56.73\00:12:59.80
WHAT HE'S SAYING.
00:12:59.80\00:13:00.53
IT'S NOT THEIR NATIVE TONGUE.
00:13:00.53\00:13:01.80
WHILE PETER IS PREACHING
ABOUT JESUS IN ARAMAIC,
00:13:01.80\00:13:05.46
THE HOLY SPIRIT FALLS UPON THEM.
00:13:05.46\00:13:08.36
VERSE--ACTS 10:44, "WHILE
PETER YET SPAKE THESE WORDS,
00:13:08.36\00:13:14.86
THE HOLY GHOST FELL ON
THEM WHICH HEARD THE WORD.
00:13:14.86\00:13:18.73
THOSE WHO WERE OF THE
CIRCUMCISION WHICH BELIEVED
00:13:18.73\00:13:21.06
WERE ASTONISHED BECAUSE AS
MANY CAME WITH PETER--" THE JEWS
00:13:21.06\00:13:24.06
WOULD COME, "WERE SURPRISED
THAT ON THE GENTILES ALSO WAS
00:13:24.06\00:13:28.36
POURED OUT THE GIFT OF
THE HOLY GHOST FOR THEY HEARD
00:13:28.36\00:13:30.96
THEM SPEAK WITH TONGUES."
00:13:30.96\00:13:32.36
THAT MEANS THEY UNDERSTOOD
THEM SPEAKING WITH TONGUES
00:13:32.36\00:13:35.30
AND MAGNIFY GOD.
00:13:35.30\00:13:37.13
THAT MEANS THEY COULD
UNDERSTAND WHAT THEY WERE
00:13:37.13\00:13:38.90
SAYING IN THOSE TONGUES,
THEY WERE MAGNIFYING GOD.
00:13:38.90\00:13:41.26
THEY WEREN'T JUST BABBLING.
00:13:41.26\00:13:43.03
DOES THAT MAKE SENSE?
00:13:43.03\00:13:44.13
THE SAME WAY THE HOLY
SPIRIT WAS POURED OUT IN ACTS 10
00:13:44.13\00:13:47.03
IS THE SAME GIFT
THAT YOU FIND IN ACTS 2.
00:13:47.03\00:13:49.53
IF YOU DON'T BELIEVE
PASTOR DOUG, YOU READ IN
00:13:49.53\00:13:52.03
VERSE 15, PETER--AND
THIS IS CHAPTER 11 OF ACTS.
00:13:52.03\00:13:56.60
ACTS 11:15, YOU
MIGHT WANT TO LOOK THAT UP.
00:13:56.60\00:13:59.80
WHEN PETER REPORTS BACK TO THE
COUNSEL IN JERUSALEM HOW GOD IS
00:13:59.80\00:14:03.23
NOW SENDING THE HOLY SPIRIT
ON THE GENTILES, LISTEN TO WHAT
00:14:03.23\00:14:06.03
PETER SAYS, "THE HOLY GHOST
FELL ON THEM AS IT FELL ON US AT
00:14:06.03\00:14:12.40
THE BEGINNING."
00:14:12.40\00:14:13.63
SO WHAT KIND OF GIFT OF
TONGUES DO THEY GET IN ACTS 10,
00:14:13.63\00:14:16.66
SOMETHING NEW, A NEW VARIETY?
00:14:16.66\00:14:18.23
OR IS IT THE SAME KIND OF GIFT
OF TONGUES PETER SAYS THAT WE
00:14:18.23\00:14:20.56
HAD AT THE BEGINNING?
00:14:20.56\00:14:22.10
RIGHT?
00:14:22.10\00:14:23.86
IT'S LANGUAGES
THAT CAN BE UNDERSTOOD.
00:14:23.86\00:14:26.40
THEN YOU'VE GOT THE THIRD
EXAMPLE OF SPEAKING IN TONGUES
00:14:26.40\00:14:29.10
THAT YOU'RE GOING
TO FIND IN ACTS 19.
00:14:29.10\00:14:33.63
THIS ALSO IS A PLACE
WHERE IT TALKS ABOUT REBAPTISM.
00:14:33.63\00:14:37.10
THE 12 EPHESIAN DISCIPLES.
00:14:37.10\00:14:39.80
WE ALL KNOW THAT JESUS
HAD 12 JEWISH DISCIPLES.
00:14:39.80\00:14:43.53
DO YOU KNOW AFTER THE
GOSPEL WENT TO THE GENTILES,
00:14:43.53\00:14:45.70
YOU FIND A STORY WHERE
THERE'S 12 GENTILE DISCIPLES?
00:14:45.70\00:14:49.23
ACTS 19, PAUL PREACHES TO THESE
12 EPHESIANS WHO WERE BAPTIZED
00:14:49.23\00:14:54.23
BY JOHN THE BAPTIST.
00:14:54.23\00:14:56.06
THEY HAD NOT HEARD
THE STORY ABOUT JESUS YET.
00:14:56.06\00:14:58.43
HE PREACHES TO THEM ABOUT JESUS.
00:14:58.43\00:15:00.50
HE LAYS HANDS UPON THEM.
00:15:00.50\00:15:02.63
I'M IN ACTS 19:6, "THE
HOLY GHOST CAME ON THEM
00:15:02.63\00:15:06.63
AND THEY SPOKE WITH
TONGUES AND PROPHESIED."
00:15:06.63\00:15:09.33
NOW WHAT DOES PROPHESIED MEAN?
00:15:09.33\00:15:11.60
IT MEANS THEY PREACHED.
00:15:11.60\00:15:13.50
PROPHESIED DOESN'T MEAN YOU
WALK AROUND GIVING ASTROLOGICAL
00:15:13.50\00:15:15.80
FORTUNE COOKIES.
00:15:15.80\00:15:17.63
PROPHESY MEANS THAT YOU PREACH.
00:15:17.63\00:15:20.80
AND SO COULD THEY UNDERSTAND
WHAT THEY WERE SAYING IN THESE
00:15:20.80\00:15:23.20
TONGUES?
00:15:23.20\00:15:24.20
YEAH, IT SAYS THEY
WERE PROPHESYING, THEY WERE
00:15:24.20\00:15:25.80
PREACHING.
00:15:25.80\00:15:27.00
WERE THERE DIFFERENT
LANGUAGE GROUPS PRESENT?
00:15:27.00\00:15:28.70
YOU'VE GOT PAUL.
00:15:28.70\00:15:29.30
YOU GOT LUKE.
00:15:29.30\00:15:30.10
YOU'VE GOT EPHESIANS.
00:15:30.10\00:15:31.96
SO THERE'S SEVERAL LANGUAGE
GROUPS THAT ARE PRESENT THERE,
00:15:31.96\00:15:34.26
THEY NEEDED THE GIFT OF TONGUES.
00:15:34.26\00:15:36.76
THEY RECOGNIZED THERE
WAS A DIFFERENCE OF TONGUES.
00:15:36.76\00:15:38.80
THE VERY FACT THAT LUKE DOESN'T
SAY, "THE HOLY SPIRIT FELL ON
00:15:38.80\00:15:41.33
THEM A WHOLE DIFFERENT WAY,
THEY GOT A DIFFERENT KIND OF
00:15:41.33\00:15:43.63
GIFT OF TONGUES."
00:15:43.63\00:15:44.83
HE DOESN'T SAY THAT WHICH MEANS
IT'S THE SAME KIND OF GIFT OF
00:15:44.83\00:15:48.70
TONGUES THAT YOU SAW IN ACTS
10 AND THAT YOU SAW IN ACTS 2.
00:15:48.70\00:15:52.40
THERE YOU HAVE IT, FRIENDS.
00:15:52.40\00:15:53.33
WE'VE LOOKED AT ALL OF THE
EXAMPLES OF SPEAKING IN TONGUES
00:15:53.33\00:15:55.90
IN THE BIBLE AND NOWHERE
DO YOU SEE AN EXAMPLE OF THIS
00:15:55.90\00:16:01.56
INCOHERENT MUTTERING AND
BABBLING WHERE THE PERSON
00:16:01.56\00:16:04.56
SPEAKING MAY NOT EVEN
KNOW WHAT THEY'RE SAYING.
00:16:04.56\00:16:08.03
THERE'S A COUNTERFEIT
THAT HAS BEEN INTRODUCED.
00:16:08.03\00:16:11.60
FOR EVERY TRUTH OF
GOD-- FOR EVERY TRUTH OF GOD
00:16:11.60\00:16:14.90
SATAN HAS A COUNTERFEIT.
00:16:14.90\00:16:16.46
IS THERE COUNTERFEIT LOVE?
00:16:16.46\00:16:19.73
IS THERE A
COUNTERFEIT FOR THE HOLY SPIRIT?
00:16:19.73\00:16:24.23
YOU CAN BET THERE IS.
00:16:24.23\00:16:25.30
DOES GOD HAVE A COUNTERFEIT
LAW, A COUNTERFEIT SABBATH?
00:16:25.30\00:16:30.20
THE DEVIL I MEAN.
00:16:30.20\00:16:31.26
THE DEVIL'S GOT A COUNTERFEIT
FOR EVERY TRUTH OF GOD.
00:16:31.26\00:16:33.56
SHOULDN'T SURPRISE US THAT
HE NOT ONLY HAS A COUNTERFEIT
00:16:33.56\00:16:35.76
FOR TONGUES.
00:16:35.76\00:16:36.76
THERE'S A TRUE GIFT OF TONGUES.
00:16:36.76\00:16:37.70
I WANT TO REITERATE I BELIEVE
IN ALL THE GIFTS OF THE SPIRIT.
00:16:37.70\00:16:40.43
I BELIEVE IN MIRACLES.
00:16:40.43\00:16:41.43
I BELIEVE IN HEALING.
00:16:41.43\00:16:42.46
I BELIEVE IN CASTING OUT DEVILS.
00:16:42.46\00:16:44.16
I BELIEVE IN PROPHECY.
00:16:44.16\00:16:45.06
I BELIEVE IN ALL
THE GIFTS OF THE SPIRIT.
00:16:45.06\00:16:46.53
BUT THERE'S BEEN A
COO-COO BIRD EGG THAT'S BEEN
00:16:46.53\00:16:51.06
LAID IN THE CHURCH THAT
IS NOT THE GIFT OF TONGUES.
00:16:51.06\00:16:55.46
GOD IS NOT THE AUTHOR OF
CONFUSION, THE PANDEMONIUM
00:16:55.46\00:16:58.86
AND THE BEDLAM AND THE CACOPHONY
OF NOISE THAT'S DONE IN THE NAME
00:16:58.86\00:17:02.10
OF THE LORD.
00:17:02.10\00:17:03.00
BY ANY DEFINITION, THE
DISJOINTED, REPETITIVE,
00:17:03.00\00:17:05.66
GIBBERISH THAT YOU
OFTEN HEAR IS NOT A LANGUAGE.
00:17:05.66\00:17:09.83
I'LL TELL YOU A ANOTHER LITTLE
STUDY THAT WAS DONE BY THE SAME
00:17:09.83\00:17:11.96
GENTLEMAN FROM NEW YORK
WHO DID THE STUDY ON TONGUES.
00:17:11.96\00:17:16.10
THEY TOOK AN EXCERPT OF
SOMEBODY SPEAKING IN TONGUES IN
00:17:16.10\00:17:18.60
A WORSHIP SERVICE, GOT A CLEAR
RECORDING, AND THEY WENT TO
00:17:18.60\00:17:21.40
100 DIFFERENT CHARISMATIC
MINISTERS THAT BELIEVE THAT
00:17:21.40\00:17:24.70
THEY HAD THE GIFT OF TONGUES.
00:17:24.70\00:17:26.43
AND THEY WENT UNDER THE GUISE
OF "WE'RE CHRISTIANS AND WE'VE
00:17:26.43\00:17:31.00
GOT A RECORDING OF
SOMEONE SPEAKING IN TONGUES,
00:17:31.00\00:17:32.80
AND WE'D LIKE TO KNOW
WHAT THIS MESSAGE IS."
00:17:32.80\00:17:34.73
THEY PLAYED THE TAPE.
00:17:34.73\00:17:36.00
AND THE PASTOR WOULD SAY, "OH,
THUS SAITH THE LORD," AND HE'D
00:17:36.00\00:17:38.16
SAY WHAT THE MESSAGE WAS
AND THEY'D WRITE IT DOWN.
00:17:38.16\00:17:40.43
THEY TOOK THE SAME TAPE OF
SOMEONE SPEAKING IN TONGUES TO
00:17:40.43\00:17:45.36
100 DIFFERENT MINISTERS.
00:17:45.36\00:17:46.90
GUESS HOW MANY DIFFERENT
INTERPRETATIONS THERE WERE?
00:17:46.90\00:17:50.76
ONE HUNDRED DIFFERENT
INTERPRETATIONS WHICH MAKES IT
00:17:50.76\00:17:55.03
VERY DUBIOUS OR
A SUSPICIOUS GIFT.
00:17:55.03\00:17:58.63
IF THE DEVIL WAS GONNA
COUNTERFEIT THE HOLY SPIRIT AND
00:17:58.63\00:18:00.46
HE WAS GONNA TRY AND MARKET IT,
WOULD HE WANT YOU TO FEEL BAD
00:18:00.46\00:18:03.06
OR WOULD HE WANT
YOU TO FEEL GOOD?
00:18:03.06\00:18:06.13
I MEAN WHO WOULD WANT TO
DO IT IF HE DIDN'T FEEL GOOD?
00:18:06.13\00:18:09.46
SO IS THAT OUR CRITERIA?
00:18:09.46\00:18:10.83
WHAT'S OUR CRITERIA TO MEASURE
WHETHER SOMETHING'S TRUE OR
00:18:10.83\00:18:13.10
NOT?
00:18:13.10\00:18:14.30
WHAT DOES THE BIBLE SAY?
00:18:14.30\00:18:16.26
"PURSUE LOVE AND DESIRE
SPIRITUAL GIFTS BUT ESPECIALLY
00:18:16.26\00:18:20.13
THAT YOU MIGHT PROPHESY."
00:18:20.13\00:18:21.56
SO OF THE GIFTS THAT WE SHOULD
DESIRE, WHAT GIFT DOES PAUL SAY
00:18:21.56\00:18:24.46
THAT WE SHOULD
ESPECIALLY FOCUS ON?
00:18:24.46\00:18:26.70
PROPHECY.
00:18:26.70\00:18:27.80
AND PROPHECY, LIKE I SAID,
IT'S NOT TALKING ABOUT YOUR
00:18:27.80\00:18:29.63
GOING AROUND LIKE
ELIJAH OR JOHN THE BAPTIST
00:18:29.63\00:18:31.60
MAKING PREDICTIONS.
00:18:31.60\00:18:33.56
PROPHECY HERE IN 1 CORINTHIANS
IS THE GREEK WORD MEANS
00:18:33.56\00:18:36.03
TO SPEAK IN BEHALF OF
SOMEONE ELSE, MEANS TO PREACH OR
00:18:36.03\00:18:38.96
TO SHARE, TO TEACH FOR
CHRIST THE GIFTS OF PROPHECY.
00:18:38.96\00:18:42.10
"FOR HE WHO SPEAKS IN A TONGUE
DOES NOT SPEAK TO MEN BUT TO
00:18:42.10\00:18:45.40
GOD FOR NO ONE UNDERSTANDS HIM.
00:18:45.40\00:18:47.40
HOWEVER IN THE
SPIRIT, HE SPEAKS MYSTERIES."
00:18:47.40\00:18:49.73
OKAY, WE GOTTA STOP
HERE AND EXPLAIN SOMETHING.
00:18:49.73\00:18:52.66
MOST OF WHAT PAUL SAYS ABOUT
TONGUES IS IN 1 CORINTHIANS.
00:18:52.66\00:18:56.60
NO, ALL OF WHAT PAUL SAYS ABOUT
TONGUES IS IN 1 CORINTHIANS.
00:18:56.60\00:19:00.30
PAUL WROTE MOST
IN THE NEW TESTAMENT.
00:19:00.30\00:19:02.06
HE ONLY TALKS ABOUT
TONGUES IN ONE BOOK, NOT EVEN
00:19:02.06\00:19:05.30
IN 2 CORINTHIANS.
00:19:05.30\00:19:07.30
MATTER OF FACT,
MATTHEW NEVER MENTIONS TONGUES.
00:19:07.30\00:19:11.30
JOHN NEVER MENTIONS TONGUES.
00:19:11.30\00:19:13.30
LUKE NEVER MENTIONS
TONGUES EXCEPT IN ACTS,
00:19:13.30\00:19:15.80
HE DOESN'T IN HIS GOSPEL.
00:19:15.80\00:19:17.50
PETER NEVER MENTIONS TONGUES.
00:19:17.50\00:19:19.73
JAMES NEVER MENTIONS TONGUES
AND YET IN SPITE OF THE SILENCE
00:19:19.73\00:19:22.63
OF ALL THESE OTHER BIBLE
WRITERS, IF YOU GO TO MANY
00:19:22.63\00:19:25.43
CHARISMATIC CHURCHES, YOU WOULD
THINK THAT THAT WAS ALL THEY
00:19:25.43\00:19:27.80
TALKED ABOUT.
00:19:27.80\00:19:29.83
AND WHEN THE GIFTS OF
THE SPIRIT ARE LISTED, THEY
00:19:29.83\00:19:32.63
TYPICALLY TURN THE LIST
UPSIDE DOWN WHERE HE TALKS ABOUT
00:19:32.63\00:19:36.10
THE MOST IMPORTANT GIFT IS
PROPHESY, THE LEAST IMPORTANT
00:19:36.10\00:19:38.36
IS TONGUES.
00:19:38.36\00:19:39.70
NOW BACK TO CORINTH.
00:19:39.70\00:19:42.00
CORINTH WAS A BOOMING NEW BABY
CHURCH THAT PAUL HAD PLANTED.
00:19:42.00\00:19:50.03
IT'S A SEAPORT IN THE ROMAN
EMPIRE WHERE IT WAS A MELTING
00:19:50.03\00:19:54.36
POT OF PEOPLE AND SLAVES
FROM ALL OVER THE ROMAN EMPIRE.
00:19:54.36\00:19:59.13
NOW SOME OF THEM HAD COME
FROM NORTHERN AFRICA AND SOME OF
00:19:59.13\00:20:01.56
THEM HAD MAYBE COME FROM INDIA.
00:20:01.56\00:20:03.06
SOME OF THEM HAD COME
FROM SPAIN AND FROM CARTHAGE
00:20:03.06\00:20:05.26
AND THEY WERE FROM ALL OVER.
00:20:05.26\00:20:06.66
THEIR SERVICES WERE OFTEN VERY
CONFUSING BECAUSE THERE WERE
00:20:06.66\00:20:11.90
PEOPLE FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD
AND THEY ALL SPOKE DIFFERENT
00:20:11.90\00:20:14.66
LANGUAGES.
00:20:14.66\00:20:16.23
NOW I'VE BEEN IN CHURCHES LIKE
THAT WHERE YOU NOT ONLY HAVE
00:20:16.23\00:20:20.40
THE MOTHER TONGUE OF THE PEOPLE
THAT YOU'RE WITH, BUT YOU'VE
00:20:20.40\00:20:22.43
GOT OTHER PRIMARY TONGUES
AND NOBODY WANTS TO TOTALLY FEEL
00:20:22.43\00:20:25.16
LEFT OUT.
00:20:25.16\00:20:26.23
AND SO YOU GOT SOME PEOPLE
THERE WHO MIGHT SPEAK ENGLISH,
00:20:26.23\00:20:28.56
AND SOME PEOPLE THERE WHO MIGHT
SPEAK KOREAN AND SOME SPEAK
00:20:28.56\00:20:31.00
CHINESE AND SOME SPEAK MANDARIN.
00:20:31.00\00:20:34.23
AND SO DURING THE SERVICES,
THEY'LL HAVE THE GUEST SPEAKER.
00:20:34.23\00:20:37.33
EVERYONE WANTS TO
KNOW WHAT'S BEING SAID.
00:20:37.33\00:20:39.63
I SEE IT HAPPENING HERE
AT CENTRAL ALMOST EVERY WEEK.
00:20:39.63\00:20:42.90
I'LL SEE SOMEBODY LEANING
OVER TO A BROTHER OR SISTER THAT
00:20:42.90\00:20:45.30
SPEAKS ALMOST ONLY SPANISH
OR ALMOST ONLY ROMANIAN OR SOME
00:20:45.30\00:20:49.70
OTHER LANGUAGE AND THEY'RE
TRYING TO WHISPER QUIETLY
00:20:49.70\00:20:52.20
TO THAT PERSON WHILE I
TEACH, AND THAT'S GREAT.
00:20:52.20\00:20:55.00
BECAUSE OTHERWISE YOU KNOW
WHAT HAS TO HAPPEN IS I'D SAY
00:20:55.00\00:20:57.83
SOMETHING IN ENGLISH, SOMEBODY
ELSE WOULD BE HERE AND THEY'D
00:20:57.83\00:21:00.40
HAVE TO SAY IT IN JAPANESE.
00:21:00.40\00:21:01.60
THEN A THIRD PERSON WOULD HAVE
TO SAY IT IN KOREAN AND SOMEONE
00:21:01.60\00:21:04.70
ELSE WOULD HAVE
TO SAY IT MANDARIN.
00:21:04.70\00:21:07.10
AND SO THE SERVICES IN CORINTH
WERE GETTING VERY CONFUSING
00:21:07.10\00:21:09.63
'CAUSE PEOPLE WERE STANDING UP
WHETHER THERE WAS A TRANSLATOR,
00:21:09.63\00:21:11.80
AN INTERPRETER OR NOT, AND
THEY WERE PREACHING AND PRAYING
00:21:11.80\00:21:14.26
AND PRAISING GOD AND TESTIFYING.
00:21:14.26\00:21:15.70
WHAT GOOD WOULD IT DO YOU RIGHT
NOW IF I SHOULD START PREACHING
00:21:15.70\00:21:18.63
THE REST OF THE SERMON IN A
LANGUAGE YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND?
00:21:18.63\00:21:22.33
WOULD GOD UNDERSTAND IF IT
WAS A LANGUAGE OF THE WORLD,
00:21:22.33\00:21:25.56
WOULD HE UNDERSTAND?
00:21:25.56\00:21:26.76
YEAH.
00:21:26.76\00:21:27.76
SO I'M SPEAKING
MYSTERIES IN THE SPIRIT.
00:21:27.76\00:21:30.30
IT'S NOT PROFITING YOU.
00:21:30.30\00:21:31.93
THIS IS WHAT WAS HAPPENING.
00:21:31.93\00:21:33.90
THAT'S WHAT PAUL
IS TALKING ABOUT.
00:21:33.90\00:21:35.56
ONCE YOU UNDERSTAND THAT AT
THE OUTSET, IT ALL MAKES SENSE
00:21:35.56\00:21:38.26
AND IT FALLS INTO PLACE.
00:21:38.26\00:21:39.56
HE'S CHASTISING THIS CHURCH
FOR THEIR SPEAKING WITHOUT
00:21:39.56\00:21:43.83
ORGANIZATION IN THEIR SERVICES
AND LANGUAGES THAT PEOPLE
00:21:43.83\00:21:46.36
COULDN'T UNDERSTAND.
00:21:46.36\00:21:47.50
THEY WERE PREACHING AND PRAYING
IN SOME OF THEIR TONGUES THAT
00:21:47.50\00:21:49.96
THEY'D RECEIVED.
00:21:49.96\00:21:50.86
SOME MIGHT HAVE
NORMAL LANGUAGES THEY GREW UP
00:21:50.86\00:21:52.53
LEARNING.
00:21:52.53\00:21:53.73
OTHERS THEY MIGHT
HAVE RECEIVED MIRACULOUSLY.
00:21:53.73\00:21:55.66
DOESN'T MATTER.
00:21:55.66\00:21:57.43
THE PEOPLE
LISTENING DIDN'T UNDERSTAND.
00:21:57.43\00:22:00.06
KEEP IN MIND AT THE DAY OF
PENTECOST, IT WAS NOT THE GIFT
00:22:00.06\00:22:03.46
OF HEARING, IT WAS
THE GIFT OF SPEAKING.
00:22:03.46\00:22:08.70
THEY WERE NOT EARS OF FIRE
THAT LANDED ON THEIR HEADS.
00:22:08.70\00:22:13.13
THEY WERE TONGUES
OF FIRE, IS THAT RIGHT?
00:22:13.13\00:22:15.83
NOW IF THERE'S ANYTHING THAT'S
CLEAR FROM 1 CORINTHIANS 14,
00:22:15.83\00:22:20.66
IT'S THAT HE WANTS THEM
TO UNDERSTAND WHAT OTHERS
00:22:20.66\00:22:22.86
ARE SAYING.
00:22:22.86\00:22:23.50
LET ME JUST GIVE YOU A
COUPLE HIGH POINTS BECAUSE WE'RE
00:22:23.50\00:22:25.56
MOVING RIGHT ALONG HERE.
00:22:25.56\00:22:27.40
FOR INSTANCE, VERSE 7,
"EVEN THINGS WITHOUT LIFE
00:22:27.40\00:22:30.76
WHETHER FLUTE OR HARP, WHEN THEY
MAKE A SOUND, UNLESS THERE'S
00:22:30.76\00:22:33.70
A DISTINCTION IN THE SOUND,
HOW WILL IT BE KNOWN WHAT IS
00:22:33.70\00:22:37.13
PIPED OR PLAYED?
00:22:37.13\00:22:39.13
FOR IF THE TRUMPET MAKES
AN UNCERTAIN SOUND, WHO WILL
00:22:39.13\00:22:41.90
PREPARE HIMSELF FOR BATTLE?"
00:22:41.90\00:22:44.23
SO WHAT IS PAUL SAYING?
00:22:44.23\00:22:45.86
THERE NEEDS TO BE A DISTINCTION
IN THE SOUND, OR WHO'S GONNA
00:22:45.86\00:22:48.73
KNOW WHAT'S
BEING PIPED OR HARPED?
00:22:48.73\00:22:51.16
ARE YOU SEEING, IN SOME OF
THE CHURCHES, SOMETHING BEING
00:22:51.16\00:22:53.86
DONE CALLED TONGUES AND THERE'S
NO DISTINCTION IN THE SOUND?
00:22:53.86\00:22:57.33
YOU DON'T KNOW
WHAT'S BEING SAID?
00:22:57.33\00:22:59.00
LISTEN HERE, VERSE
14--OH WAIT, WAIT, WAIT.
00:22:59.00\00:23:02.36
VERSE 9, UNDERLINE THIS.
00:23:02.36\00:23:04.80
IF YOU FORGET EVERYTHING ABOUT
1 CORINTHIANS 14, DON'T MISS
00:23:04.80\00:23:06.56
THIS VERSE AND
YOU WON'T BE CONFUSED.
00:23:06.56\00:23:08.76
"SO LIKEWISE, UNLESS YOU UTTER
BY THE TONGUE WORDS EASY TO
00:23:08.76\00:23:15.10
UNDERSTAND, HOW WILL IT
BE KNOWN WHAT IS SPOKEN?
00:23:15.10\00:23:19.20
YOU WILL BE
SPEAKING INTO THE AIR."
00:23:19.20\00:23:23.80
BINGO, SLAM DUNK.
00:23:23.80\00:23:27.23
THIS IS WHAT PAUL
IS SAYING IN THIS BOOK.
00:23:27.23\00:23:29.90
THIS IS THE EVIDENCE
OF BABYLON, AND I'D LIKE
00:23:29.90\00:23:33.33
TO MAKE AN APPEAL.
00:23:33.33\00:23:35.16
I'VE GOT FRIENDS OUT THERE,
I USED TO WORSHIP WITH THESE
00:23:35.16\00:23:37.40
PEOPLE, AND THEY SAY,
"PASTOR DOUG, I'VE SPOKEN
00:23:37.40\00:23:39.93
IN TONGUES.
00:23:39.93\00:23:40.76
IT FEELS SO GOOD.
00:23:40.76\00:23:41.53
I KNOW WHAT IT'S LIKE.
00:23:41.53\00:23:42.30
HOW CAN YOU TELL
ME IT'S NOT REAL?"
00:23:42.30\00:23:43.56
I'M NOT DENYING THAT IT'S REAL.
00:23:43.56\00:23:46.10
I'M SAYING IT'S
COMING FROM THE WRONG SOURCE.
00:23:46.10\00:23:48.90
SOME OF IT
MIGHT BE SELF-INDUCED.
00:23:48.90\00:23:50.90
SOMETIMES YOUR MIND CAN
PLAY GAMES ON YOUR OWN BODY.
00:23:50.90\00:23:54.46
SOME OF IT MIGHT JUST
BE PLAINLY ANOTHER SPIRIT,
00:23:54.46\00:23:57.36
AND THE WRONG SPIRIT.
00:23:57.36\00:23:59.20
AND DON'T FORGET THE
DEVIL, IF HE DOES ANYTHING WELL,
00:23:59.20\00:24:01.93
HE TRIES TO MASQUERADE
AS MESSENGERS OF CHRIST.
00:24:01.93\00:24:07.10
AND I HAD MORE THAN ONE PERSON
WHO SAID, "PASTOR DOUG, WHEN I
00:24:07.10\00:24:10.53
HEARD THIS MESSAGE, EVEN THOUGH
I SPOKE IN TONGUES, I SAID THIS
00:24:10.53\00:24:13.90
MAKES SENSE BIBLICALLY.
00:24:13.90\00:24:15.66
LORD, IF I'M DOING SOMETHING
AND THIS IS NOT ACCORDING
00:24:15.66\00:24:18.33
TO YOUR WILL,
TAKE IT AWAY FROM ME."
00:24:18.33\00:24:22.26
I KNOW AN ADVENTIST MINISTER
RIGHT NOW PRAYED THAT PRAYER,
00:24:22.26\00:24:24.80
USED TO SPEAK IN TONGUES.
00:24:24.80\00:24:27.03
AND HE SAID IT WENT
AWAY AND NEVER CAME BACK.
00:24:27.03\00:24:29.30
OF COURSE HE WASN'T
A MINISTER BACK THEN.
00:24:29.30\00:24:31.20
HE IS NOW.
00:24:31.20\00:24:32.70
GOD JUST TOOK IT AWAY FROM HIM.
00:24:32.70\00:24:33.53
A LOT OF PEOPLE
HAVE TOLD ME THAT.
00:24:33.53\00:24:36.30
YOU JUST SAY, "LORD, IF THIS
IS NOT FROM YOU, I WANT TO GO BY
00:24:36.30\00:24:38.60
THE BIBLE."
00:24:38.60\00:24:40.60
AND IF YOU FOLLOW
THE BIBLE, YOU'RE SAFE.
00:24:40.60\00:24:43.83

FOREHEAD OR THE MARK

OR THEIR FOREHEAD.
00:24:56.10\00:24:57.23
BUT EVERYBODY IS MARKED, THAT
OUGHT TO TELL YOU SOMETHING.
00:24:57.23\00:25:00.36
A LOT OF THE CHRISTIAN
WORLD HAS BEEN BAMBOOZLED INTO
00:25:00.36\00:25:02.50
THINKING THE DEVIL IS GONNA
LINE EVERYBODY UP WITH THIS
00:25:02.50\00:25:04.56
BIG RUBBER STAMP AND GO,
"KA-CHIK! KA-CHIK! KA-CHIK!"
00:25:04.56\00:25:07.20
PUT "666" ON
EVERYBODY'S FOREHEAD.
00:25:07.20\00:25:09.36
AND THEN PEOPLE SAY, "I'M NOT
GETTING THE MARK OF THE BEAST,
00:25:09.36\00:25:11.90
'CAUSE AS SOON AS SOMEONE COMES
AFTER ME WITH A RUBBER STAMP,
00:25:11.90\00:25:14.63
I'M RUNNING."
00:25:14.63\00:25:16.56
AND THEY MIGHT RUN RIGHT
INTO THE ARMS OF THE BEAST.

>> THE BIBLE SPEAKS
ABOUT SEVERAL SPIRITUAL GIFTS
00:26:40.06\00:26:42.20
THROUGHOUT THE NEW
TESTAMENT THAT GOD HAS GIVEN
00:26:42.20\00:26:44.46
TO HIS PEOPLE.
00:26:44.46\00:26:45.73
BUT THE GIFT OF TONGUES
IS ONLY MENTIONED A FEW TIMES
00:26:45.73\00:26:48.40
IN THE NEW TESTAMENT.
00:26:48.40\00:26:50.00

00:26:50.00\00:26:52.36
THE CHRISTIAN WORLD
REGARDING THIS PARTICULAR GIFT.
00:26:52.36\00:26:55.73
SO WHAT DOES THE GIFT
OF TONGUES REALLY MEAN?
00:26:55.73\00:26:58.70
SOME WITHIN THE CHURCH IDENTIFY
THE GIFT OF TONGUES AS A
00:26:58.70\00:27:02.30
SPIRITUAL CONVERSION
OR EVEN A TEST OF FAITH.
00:27:02.30\00:27:05.63
