The Baptism in the Holy Spirit is real. It happened to me years ago. I was seeking it; I still don’t understand it. Five words in the unknown tongue were just like - dropped - into my consciousness. I spoke them out, and then it came like a torrent. I suppose I don’t pray often enough in an unknown tongue, it’s been beaten down so bad by the modern church and its supposed sophistication. But, Lord knows, we sure do need all the uplifting and edification we can get in this day and age if it was ever needed. - Lord also knows we don’t have the faith and teaching in this era that we need as Christians. - However, tongues can become little more than “sounding brass or a tinkling cymbal”. There is so much more than just tongues, and the fruit of the Spirit is what I seek to be produced in me. Love, God Himself.
EXCELLENT POINTS. THANKS FOR THIS:
