Speaking in tongues was one of Gods gifts to his people to help spread his message among His people. One the Day of Pentecost, in one local community there were 17 different languages spoken. They ALL heard the gospel in their own language.

I believe that tongues have ceased. The reason I believe that all tongues spoken today is a counterfeit is based on simple logic and basic commonsense. I found that as I conducted research for the book “the fake Jesus,” tongues actually DID cease as Paul told the Corinthians that they would. History reveals that tongues ceased for 19 centuriesThink about it. No Christian needed or ever heard of “a prayer language” for 1900 years!!!!!.
Why did tongues cease?
Well, because its purpose had been fulfilled.
Here is a quote from the Fake Jesus: Fallen Angels Among Us.
“God Himself brought forth many languages to hinder the building of the tower of Babel. In Genesis 11, we read that because of the people’s rebellion, God confused the language of all the earth so that the people would not be able to understand each other’s speech, How ironic and counter-rebellious on the part of Maitreya. As Satan’s representative of endtimes, Maitreya plans to do just the opposite in Mystery Babylon, which includes the organized church. Maitreya’s goal is to cause all who speak in different tongues to hear him in ONE tongue. This is a complete reversal of God’s actions to hinder the tower of Babel. This is blasphemy to the nth degree. Anyone who does not close the door to self-induced passivity is at risk of becoming reprobate.”
In the Fake Jesus, the connection of the speaking in tongues movement to Satan’s endtime agenda is exposed.

“Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away. For we know in part, and we prophesy in part. But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away” (1 Co 13:8-10).
This verse teaches that several things will either fail,cease, or vanish away. it says that prophecies shall fail, tongues shall cease, and knowledge shall vanish away.
All three of these will either fail, cease, or vanish away when, “that which is perfect is come.” To say that one of these ( prophecies, tongues, knowledge) has either failed, ceased, or vanished away is to say that the other two have taken their respective path as well, as the timing for all three of these seems to be the same.
Has prophecy failed?
Has knowledge vanished away?
Have tongues truly ceased?
If the answer to one of these questions is “no,” then the answer to all of them is “no”.
I don’t agree with your reasoning. Tongues ceased 19 centuries ago. Knowledge has not yet vanished away, nor has prophecy.
Pam 911 – It doesn’t matter how I reason. It maters what the scripture says. To say that one of these has been done away is to remove it from the timing that the scripture gives.
I see no timing that the scripture gives, Mike.
