To all a Happy Pentecost! About 3400 years ago, God gave His Law and made a covenant with the people of Israel at Mt. Sinai written on tables of stone. Then about 2000 years ago, God gave His called out ones--the church---His Holy Spirit and wrote the spiritual aspects of His Law on the hearts of all believers. Happy birthday to the Ekklesia. Celebrate the salvation we have through Jesus our Lord.

Tongues are not the gift. The holy spirit is the gift. The word gift in the king james is italicised and that means it was added by men and void of Gods authority. God calls tongues a manifestation and their are nine of them. All believers have them as God says he is no respecter of persons. Tongues is an enablement and has over a dozen benefits including being perfect prayer. It also is Gods marking that you have the gift of holy spirit. It was tongues as witnessed by peter and six others that caused the christians of jewish lineage tonaccept that the gentiles had also received and were now members of the one body. It has not gone away. Every single person I know in our home fellowships world wide speak in tongues. You can too. I recommend a book called receiving the holy spirit today by dr. Victor paul weirwille. He did a fantastic job of laying it out. My kids grewnupnwithnit and tjey all four donit, all.mu grandkids 6 years old or more already do it. Its Gods will we all do it.
