Bible Discussion Thread

Whether or not a person believes, speaking in tongues is right. If it were not so then God would not have let it be written in the Bible. A question was asked on the day of Pentecost and an answer was given by Peter, Acts 2. There are examples in the Bible. I have not read anywhere where Jesus stated that baptism alone saves you. I have not read anywhere where Jesus stated that all you need is to be baptized and you are saved. What I have read is where Jesus stated that you must be born again of water and of spirit in order to enter and see into the kingdom of God. In regard to Paul, 1 Corinthians 14: 39 Wherefore, brethren, covet to prophesy, and FORBID not to speak with tongues. These tongues he is referring to is the evidence that a person has when they are filled with the Holy Ghost. The word covet means to want ardently esp. something that another person has . If I can say it like this, Paul was saying to us and the Corinthian church that we should want this gift and evidence of speaking in tongues. In the end, do we throw away part of the Bible or do we believe the whole Bible?
