John Macarthur DESTROYS Modern Speaking in Tongues 

@@benden5095 that’s not true. It’s not true at all. It can be unheard language that needs to be interpreted IF you’re preaching but NOT if you’re praying in the Spirit. Then the Holy Spirit in interceding for you.

Why would God give us unheard languages aswell

@@happydays6291 He didn't

Speaking in " tongues" is actually one spiritual language. The translators pluralized it because more than one believer at a time was speaking it. The translators didn't have the spiritual insight to tell the difference. That spiritual insight only comes when one has recieved the Holy Spirit. With myself, I had no church upbringing. On a Friday night, I recieved the Holy Spirit and spoke in " tongues" When I arrived home I decided to read a little from the Word before bed. When I opened it and began reading, I was amazed. Suddenly, it had taken much more depth and I became aware of the Spirit I had recieved guiding me in understanding what I was reading. In Acts ch.2 when the believers' recieved the Holy Spirit and began speaking in "tongues" they were all speaking in the same spiritual language. The miracle for the men in the crowd was one of hearing in their native tongues what the believers were saying in one spiritual language. That's why the Word records that the men in the crowd three times questioned how the believers were speaking in our native languages to direct our attention to that truth.

@happydays6291 Exactly ! Speaking in " tongues" is a spiritual language. It has three operations: 1)The initial evidence that one has recieved the Holy Spirit and their private prayer language for self edification( 1Cor.14:4). 2) The gift of speaking in " tongues" thats' purpose is to be interpreted in a church setting by one who has that gift for the edification of the church gathering. 3) A sign to unbelievers. Operations #1 and #3 are both operating in Acts ch.2.

Bro, speaking in tongues meant “bilingual” back then!! The word bilingual wasn’t used back then. So they called it speaking In tongues! The disciples needed a translator for the people who couldn’t understand them! They had to preach the gospel to all creation.

🙏🙏

I'm in the movement myself but I do admit that Pentecostalism has erected a dichotomy between the haves (Pentecostals) and the have-nots). But having said that I do believe, based on 1 Corinthians 12:13, that each and every true genuine born-again Christian has been baptized by the Holy Spirit into the Body of Christ

Karen, all I can say is praise God🙏

Speaking and praying in tongues is Biblical. The problems begin with the unbiblical applications and inaccurate teaching surrounding them. The story you told is typical of what is taught about tongues. It really is a shame. The Bible is very clear on the instructions of the topic. We just need to read and follow God's word!

Either the Bible is true or it is not. The Bible is pro Tongues. There is no contradiction in the Word of God. Cessationism is not scriptural and that is admitted on both sides. Granted it may not be practiced rightly, and opponents will capitalize on that, but let me tell you from my experience being a Christian since 1978 that the real thing exists. There is genuine Pentecostal fruit to be had. And just like the 10 spies who gave an evil report of the Promised Land there are those who say today God has ceased doing Wonders. Were not the 10 spies cessationists? They saw Miracles first hand, went through the Red Sea, etc. But to them God ceased doing great things and they were like grasshoppers before their foes. Don't buy into that. Hebrews 3 warns us of this type of unbelief, endangering their entering into God's rest: "So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief." You do not have to speak in Tongues but it would be grave error to come against it.

🤣🤣🤣

How do you know modern tongues speech is not real languages? The language could be extinct language or modern language somewhere in the world. Spiritual gifts were in operation during the time of the church fathers so therefore they still continued after the canon was closed

@@Rhantismos23 There are (unfortunately) absolutely no documented cases of xenoglossy - anywhere. Thousands, if not tens of thousands, of examples of tongues-speech have been studied. Not *one* was ever found to be a real rational language, living or dead. Despite this, the tongues-speaking community is rife with such examples. The frequency that they are reported suggests that tongues as xenoglossy is relatively common. Given the amount of allegedly attested examples of xenoglossy reported by Pentecostal/Charismatic Christians, if one were to apply this attestation to even a relatively small sampling of say 2,000 glossic utterances, it is more than reasonable to conclude that at minimum, a conservative estimate would suggest that at least 50 of these samples would yield a real, rational language. As stated above, this has never happened. Modern tongues speech is what it is - non-cognitive non-language utterance. Unlike gibberish, glossolalia seeks to mimic language, and in some cases does a fairly good job of it. Despite this however, glossolalia/tongues-speech is not language. I should add that I'm a linguist and have studied this phenomenon for several years. I kind of wish it were a language, that would be pretty neat and fascinating to study; but alas, it fails even the most basic test that defines 'language' itself.

@@kavikv.d.hexenholtz3474 That maybe the case. I am not speaking definitely on this issue but i do believe it is the gift of speaking in tongues and i have not seen a convincing argument to the contrary

@@Rhantismos23 There is absolutely nothing mysterious about Biblical "tongues" - and there is only one type - when referring to something spoken, they are nothing more than real, rational language(s); usually, but not always, unknown to those listening to them, but always known by the speaker(s) - it’s their native language (in some cases, it is a language the speaker has learned). In contrast, the “tongues” Pentecostal and Charismatic Christians are producing today is an entirely self-created phenomenon. It is non-cognitive non-language utterance; random free vocalization based upon a subset of the existing underlying sounds (called phonemes) of the speaker’s native language, and any other language(s) the speaker may be familiar with or have had contact with. It is, in part, typically characterized by repetitive syllables, plays on sound patterns, alliteration, assonance, and over-simplification of syllable structure. It is also interesting to note that any and all phonological rules (rules governing how sounds are put together in a given language - what is allowed and what is disallowed) governing a speaker's native language, will _also_ govern their tongues-speech. Further, this subset of phonemes mentioned above typically contains only those sounds which are easiest to produce physiologically. Occasionally some speakers will use two or more subsets of phonemes to generate glossolalia, producing what, to them, sounds like two (or more) distinct “tongues languages”, thus claiming to be able to speak in “divers tongues”. There is absolutely _nothing_ that “tongues-speakers” are producing that cannot be explained in relatively simple linguistic terms. Conversely, when it comes to something spoken, there are absolutely _no_ Biblical references to “tongues” that do not refer to, and cannot be explained in light of, real rational language(s), though it may not be the explanation you want to hear, and it may be one which is radically different from what you believe, or were taught. _Nowhere in the Bible is modern tongues-speech advocated or evidenced._ “Praying in the Spirit” does _not_ refer to the words one is saying. Rather, it refers to how one is praying. In the three places it is used (Corinthians, Ephesians, and Jude), there is absolutely zero reference to 'languages' in connection with this phrase. “Praying in the Spirit” should be understood as praying in the power of the Spirit, by the leading of the Spirit, and according to His will. I'm not doubting or questioning the 'tongues experience'; glossolalia as the spiritual tool that it is, can be very powerful and, for many people, the experience is profound. As one commenter put it, “Speaking in tongues distracts the ego/analytical/conscious mind while leaving the subconscious (the heart) wide open to import the divine." Both the spiritual and physical benefits of using this tool are also well documented. Again though, it is important to note that this same statement can be made for virtually _any_ other culture that practices glossolalia. Religious and cultural differences aside, the glossolalia an Evenki Shaman in Siberia, a vodoun priestess in Togo and a Christian tongues-speaker in Alabama are producing are in no way different from each other. They’re all producing their glossolalia in the exact same way; they just have different explanations and beliefs as to why they’re doing it, and where it comes from. It is only in certain Christian denominations where is it construed as something it never was. ‘Tongues’ (read, *‘languages’* ) - the divine gift, is the God given ability to effortlessly learn to speak and be understood through real-language barriers. It is not xenoglossy, nor is it modern tongues-speech.

Amen!

Also I definitely do not defend anyone like Kenneth Copeland who is clearly false but I am only saying but there are some Godly loving people that I know that speak in tongues that are not charlatans like the false prophets such as Kenneth Copeland

What a testimony. Thanks for sharing 🙏🏾

I have never done it. I think it’s weird. My mother does it sometimes and at this new church they look at her like she crazy so I notice she rarely does it. Now at this church the past does, I have never seen the first does it. It be like the same five people does and that’s it. But my mother is not really a nice person. She is really bizarre to me and her life is full of consumerism and she has a hard time helping her adult off springs. If you can’t be there for your family as a Christian how are you doing things for outsiders not expecting anything in return. Yeah I think Apostolic teaching is cult like.

I love tjis testimony, I wish I could talk to you one on one, Mark 16; 17, 1 Cor 14: 2 and 14, these are pointers and they are in the Bible. Tongues is coming directly from your spirit as a child of God. Now it doesn't mean if you don'tspeakin tongues you're not born-again.

too stupid

John McCarthur says in this video that God won’t give gifts to people with bad theology, implying his theology is better. Well Jesus says “in that day, many will come to me saying ‘Lord, Lord, did I not cast out demons in your name, heal in your name, and do many mighty miracles in your name’ and I will say to them ‘get away from me you workers of lawlessness , I never knew you.’” Well that means that God does in fact give gifts to people with bad theology because God Himself says He will do miracles through people who aren’t even saved. (King Saul for instance prophecies by the Holy Spirit in 1 Sam 19:24.) The Apostle Paul says that there are angelic tongues and that if someone speaks angelic tongue it is their spirit that is being edified, not their mind. So it’s not a tongue of men that the mind might be edified but an angelic tongue that their spirit might be edified. You can judge a tree by its fruit. I know many Christians in many denominations, and I know many Christians who have the gift of tongues. They are not faking it, and if they are not faking it they I can only assume that they have the gift by the Holy Spirit. A good tree cannot bare bad fruit and light does not have fellowship with darkness. I urge you to visit other denominations (not just charismatic but all denominations) and not just visit them but get to know people in each denomination. Have a conversation and get to know them. Know their fruit and see for yourself if those who claim the gift of tongues indeed bare good fruit. Or are they all wolves? Because frankly that is an accusation of demonic origins that has spun up a mind of its own in a church that has lost its unity.

You appeal largely to your self. Your experience is not the standard. The apostle Paul also wrote scripture, if he wrote scripture why can’t we today, right?

@@Kdubtru this is a false equivalence. I didn’t say speaking in tongues is scripture? It’s a promise and provision in scripture that’s why I believe it. I didn’t say my experience is standard but what John is saying about tongues shows me how “great theologians” can miss something that’s so clear in the Bible. If you’re humble enough you would pray to God to reveal this matter to you and study every scripture on baptism of the Spirit, and Spiritual gifts with an open heart.

@@mtgubba i have no clue what your objection is due to your first sentence then

@@KdubtruThat makes no sense. The Bible clearly is a finished book. The two don’t equate.

@@KdubtruSpeaking in tongues is outlined in scripture. So, it is scripture from the basis that the early church did it and it is a gift from God.

So I'm guessing that because of this you don't have any trials or rough times anymore. I don't do that unbiblical tongues stuff so does that mean that you are closer to God than I am or that you get special treatment or that you are more spiritual or have a better relationship with God

@@letfreedomreign3485 Don’t believe this crap. That was demon possession.

Bro! Stop twisting scripture!!! The disciples didn’t speak any other language that’s why he said new tongues! Meaning he will give them the gift of speaking in other languages they have never spoke before! Why??? Because he told them to go and preach the gospel to all creation! How can they preach if no one can understand them! Today it’s called bilingual! Back then it was called tongues! They also needed a interpreter

Just gibberish like a baby. Grow up.

I been in a Pentecostal Church for 10 years and discovered division. Those who spoke in tongues and those who did not. For those who did speak wore the badge of greater honor. Those who did not was pressured to be like an Apostle and not to be like the King of kings with with love and compassion. Jesus gave compassion but people attend Church less today because man like Kenneth Copeland has only greed to fleece the flock. Making money off the gullible. I'm not that gullible and you shouldn't be either. Bible tongues had a definite end. They ended by 70 AD, forty years after they began, when the Roman armies destroyed the Jewish nation, Jerusalem, and the temple. Tongues were primarily a sign for unbelieving Jews, because the Jews required signs (Deut 18:21-22; I Cor 1:22; 14:21-22). But once Israel was scattered in judgment, the need for tongues was gone (Acts 2:17-21).

I had a similar experience and am unsure how to feel about it

Wait, your a blood bought, born again Christian, and you say you were attacked by a demonic spirit? How does a demonic spirit have the ability to attack one who HAS the Holy Spirit within them? How did you know it was a demonic spirit, and how did you realize that an angel of the Lord came and drove the demonic spirit away? Are their examples in the New Testament of people being attacked AFTER coming to faith in Christ and receiving the Holy Spirit as their helper? One example of a saved person being attacked in the New Testament?

Tongues is very real ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-GKTnJhe496c.htmlsi=vd_8phTBNeZkTqhq You can still repent. Blaspheming the holy spirit is unforgivable when someone doesn't repent but otherwise it is

Nothing is wrong with asking questions to gain understanding. But if you were condemning in ignorance that’s something else.

That's your opinion...

Thank you for admitting my position is logical

I agree with you... people don't understand.. they use their brains to debunk everything that doesn't make sense to them, idk how they believe in an invisible God or a savior who died for them and rose from the dead🤷🏾‍♀️

1 Corinthians 13:1 "If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal." The scripture does say there are angelic tongues though!

​@@the9thlionpeople don't read the Word anymore

The charismata is for today. A former Assemblies of God Bible College instructor told me that after she spoke in tongues at a public street meeting at a tourist site in The Bahamas, a German last came over and asked her where did she learn to speak German. My instructor was astonished. She knew nothing about German. In fact, the only language she knows is English. Does this incident mean that these people in the video were operating in the genuine gift of the Holy Spirit? No. My instructor's story is one of the rarest of rare moments in church history that God had chosen to bestow His glossalalia gift (check spelling) to arouse the attention of a few German unbelievers

​@Kdubtru. Perfect response my brother..Perfect response! it's a more godly thing to have the written instruction of the scriptures to back up our experiences or traditions and not have our experiences or traditions manipulate ,nullify or make the scriptures none-effectual....👍🏿❤️🙏

​@bespiritfilledNo where in scripture is it taught that the gift of tongues is a prayer language. No gift of the Spirit is for private edification and there in no such thing as a secondary baptism of the Spirit.

@bespiritfilled We are baptized in the Holy Spirit when we are born again. There is no secondary baptism of the Holy Spirit. Also the Apostle Paul never said He prayed it tongues. He said he thanked God he spoke with tongues. He could not have carried out his ministry without tongues as he ministered to foreigners who spoke numerous languages. No gift of the Holy Spirit was given for personal edification. Tongues were actual languages not incoherent gibberish. Tongues were a sign unto the Jews that gentiles were given the Holy Spirit.

And charismatics abuse scripture. Speaking in tongues is a real language according to acts 2.

Nope, you speak without knowledge. 1 Corinthians 14:2 is something you have never experienced, yet you think you know about it. Typical Pharisee!

@@CommandoJenkins yea he sure did 🤦

No one should teach anyone how to speak in tongues because it is a gift of the spirit!

@@ao4514 I believe that there is error in many places regarding the Gifts, and I do not defend that. If someone teaches that Gifts come JUST by the act of instruction, they are in error. I believe the Gifts can come at the initial time of believing Jesus (Acts 10:44-46) or at a later time to an existing believer by receiving a special "application" from Holy Spirit, who is already living inside them. (as we see in Paul's example in Acts 19:6) I believe the Gifts are guaranteed to any believer who asks in faith, and a part of releasing faith centers around what one believes, and instruction regarding the Gifts allows the believer to get past their "programmed" doubts. The problem with your comment is that every disciple wanting to grow in the Christian life needs instruction in almost everything. The enemy and the world have "put down" speaking in tongues for a long time, and social media has made it easy to do. In Acts 2, there were mockers "making fun of it", but there were enough wise people there to listen to Peter and ignore them. (The Bible ALWAYS ridicules mockers.) JMcA and others would have fit in well with the Acts 2 mockers. Proper instruction allows a person to know what to expect and how the Gifts apply in daily life, which then helps to open their mind and get the "roadblock" of the natural mind out of the way . Remember that "The natural person does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are folly to him, and he is not able to understand them because they are spiritually discerned." (1 Corinthians 2:14) So, while instruction on the Gifts, alone, does not instill the Gifts, it is as relevant and and as viable as preaching the Gospel, especially in a time of so much ridicule of the Gifts coming from the spiritual enemy that has infiltrated the church.

Tongues isnt taught, that statement is unbiblical, its supposed to come from the Holy Spirit, He is your helper, NOT your Pastor.

@@robbyrockets1 I do not suggest giving people "words to say" (Holy Spirit does that), but there is nothing wrong with instructing people on what to expect and to not be scared of the gifts. If you read 1 Corinthians 12-14, Paul is teaching about the proper use of the Spiritual gifts. If Holy Spirit was in control of the use of the gifts, why would Paul have had to correct the Corinthians? Yes, the gifts are from Holy Spirit, who communes with my spirit, but also remember that my spirit is subject to my soul. Holy Spirit does not override my will, and with tongues, I must choose to participate with Holy Spirit by moving my mouth. "For you can all prophesy one by one, so that all may learn and all be encouraged, and the spirits of prophets are SUBJECT TO THE PROPHETS. For God is not a God of confusion but of peace." (I Corinthians 14:31-33) BE BLESSED!

Acts 2 (KJV) ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ ⁸ And how hear we every man in our own tongue, wherein we were born? ⁹ Parthians, and Medes, and Elamites, and the dwellers in Mesopotamia, and in Judaea, and Cappadocia, in Pontus, and Asia, ¹⁰ Phrygia, and Pamphylia, in Egypt, and in the parts of Libya about Cyrene, and strangers of Rome, Jews and proselytes, ¹¹ Cretes and Arabians, we do hear them speak in our tongues the wonderful works of God.

@@bijbelstudienederland4017 Once again, cherry picking. Did you not read the scriptures beforehand? It says that the Spirit (Holy Ghost) gave the utterance. They did not speak in tongues on their own accord. Also, I never said that it was evidence that you believe in God. Even the devil's believe in One God and tremble.

Nothing

​@Kdubtr😂😂😂😂

You guys don't read the Word at all it seems..

yeah those claiming tongues is gibberish, are lying.

​@@Kdubtruand you encourage their nonsense, so you're just as bad

It's personal between him and God, he is praying to God

@shanelawler1 speaking in tongues allows the spirit man, the part of us, indwelled and empowered by the Spirit of God to access Gods presence...we can then pray in the spirit effectively.

Tongues has ceased. Babies still slobber for attention.

​​@@gemmeerobinson1803stop with your devilish nonsense....keep your satanic projections to yourself.

@jamesmg4694 Isn’t the scriptures clear on the specifics on how it is to be practiced? It must be able to be translated. Otherwise, it seems like deception to attempt to anger the Most High, if not practiced in the way laid out in scriptures

@@joelmonteclaro9977 The bible says that if there is no one to interpret then the speaker should be silent, I agree. Paul says he speaks in tongues more than anyone and I doubt if most of that was interpreted. The other part is 'The one who speaks in a tongue edifies himself, ' - and that private but effective. So public tongues is for the edification of the church (if interpreted) and private speaking in tongues for personal edification. Most private tongues is not interpreted but the edification surely follows. Many blessings.

​@jamesmg4694 thank you

In otherwords do it in private, not amongst other believers because it only causes confusion, and God is NOT the author of confusion, that would be Satan.

Modern day speaking tongues all are like this, babble. Tongues is a real language. And what’s the difference between speaking in tongues and the gift of speaking in tongues. Since speaking in tongues is a gift, seems like a distinction without a difference

@@Kdubtru I Corinthians 12 deals with the 9 gifts of the Spirit with speaking in tongues being one of the 9. This gift of the Spirit is always accompanied with the gift of interpretation and it is for the building up of the body, for correction and direction. Paul tells us to "pray in the Spirit on all occasions".. and Paul also says the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us"... this type of tongues is not the gift of tongues and does not need interpretation. I hope this helps you on your journey with God.

@@lstmex3795 how is that different than what’s in acts 2 tho?

@@Kdubtru Acts 2 was a very unique event. why? It was personally commanded by Jesus. Acts 1:4-5 Peter in Acts 2:16-21 declared it was the fulfillment of the prophet Joel. These are still "the last days" and I believe God is still pouring out His Spirit on all people.

Like I said, I like your content. I subscribe to your channel - you do have a lot of good things to say and it was nice chatting with you. good night.

Is this a joke

I have. I have decided biblically gibberish isn’t a Christian virtue
