Are you ruling out prayer in tongues or just answering the question as narrowly asked?

I promise you, I studied this one. I do not believe the Bible clarifies a "prayer language." I believe it is word play to justify what happened at the Azuza street revivals. ( A congregation of witches and spiritists who suddenly became the authority of the "Baptism of the Holy Ghost?"

Just curious as you seem to believe that Healing is still possible, but maybe not tongues.

Healing was not an "end times sign" but a work of God to those who believe. Healing is very rare and done when God wants to do it. Miracles are not at all an "end times" gift but tongues and prophecy were.

Daniel 9:24 "Seventy weeks of years are decreed concerning your people and your holy city, to finish the transgression, to put an end to sin, and to atone for iniquity, to bring in everlasting righteousness, [this is the "perfect" that came:
1 Cor 13:9 For our knowledge is imperfect and our prophecy is imperfect; 10 but when the perfect comes, the imperfect will pass away]

to seal both vision and prophet, and to anoint a most holy place.

I believe those specific gifts are gone.

Satan has you by the testicles on this one NATE. This might be one purpose of your first three day fast. If you sincerely ask God to show you if this is really for today He will do it. It isn't even a really big deal in relation to other experiences he is waiting to give those who will hunger and thirst after righteousness. I must be a witness to you that the gift of the Holy Ghost will give you the tongues experience. I know this as sure as I know anything. NATE get this: bet you never considered the literal interpretation of this verse in light of fasting?

Matthew 5:6 Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.
