Tongues Interpretation And Prophecy

Wherefore, brethren, covet to prophesy, and forbid not to speak with tongues. —1 Corinthians 14:39 Is everyone supposed to speak in tongues? What are the differences among “new tongues,” “other tongues,” “kinds of tongues,” and “unknown tongues”? Does the gift of prophecy always contain predictions about the future? Here are answers to the most often asked questions concerning tongues, interpretation, and prophecy. Topics include: The difference between gifts and ministries The difference between spiritual gifts and mankind’s talents The difference between praying in tongues and speaking in tongues Modern examples of speaking in tongues When to interpret tongues The gift of prophecy Don Basham also discusses why so many Spirit-baptized Christians experience only the gift of speaking in tongues and why they do not move on into other gifts.

Bringing “spiritual experience” into the domain of biblical hermeneutics, this book will certainly stimulate current debates within this field, among both Pentecostals and Christians of other traditions. The author also applies a Pentecostal hermeneutical methodology to Paul’s teaching on tongues and prophecy in 1 Corinthians 12–14, opening possibilities to a Pentecostal pneumatology that tends instead to focus on the Lukan narrative. Paul’s texts are reconsidered not as doctrinal or situational documents but as dynamic communication within a living community.

The Powerful Gifts Available to You Everybeliever has been given at least one supernatural gift of the Holy Spirit. Do you know which you have and how to operate in it? Internationally renowned Bible teacher Derek Prince explains that any believer who is not manifesting gifts of the Spirit is living far below the level of God’s provision for his life. Prince reveals how to: Minister to others through the gifts Discern the counterfeit Witness through spiritual gifts Stir up the gift within you One of our greatest necessities in the church today is to demonstrate through the power of the Spirit that Jesus is alive and that His gospel is true. The world needs to see the manifestation of the presence of God. Believers need the ministry of the body of Christ through spiritual gifts. The Gifts of the Spirit reveals how we can fulfill both of these needs—practically and powerfully.

"A vocal spiritual gift must meet three criteria: It must bring honor to Christ. It must edify the believers. It must be a positive influence on unbelievers present."--Foreword by George O. Wood.
