[quote:Vunger1:MV8zOTU2ODExXzcxNTIzODQxXzYwOTYyNzBC] i have always believed in The evidence of tongues. When i read this passage in Corinthians, i find Paul trying to make an appeal to them to not become angry about what he is about to tell them. And what he tells them is , "Tongues are for a sign , not to them that believe but to them that believe not." He even gives the reference to Isaiah 28, "with stammering lips and another tongue will he speak to this people" Which was fulfilled on the day of Pentecost. And after referencing this passage in Isaiah, he tells them "Tongues are for a sign , but not to the beliver...the only way this could have been upsetting was if this were their sign(evidence) of having received the Holy Ghost. Imagine going in a oneness church and trying to preach this, you better first appeal to them to be men in understanding, but in malice/anger be ye chidren. I think im seeing where Paul was coming from... [/quote]
Original Message
But i cant explain this scripture according to my Pentecostal doctrine.
1 Corinthians 14:20
20 Brethren, be not children in understanding: howbeit in malice be ye children, but in understanding be men.
For what reason does the writer take pause, in this scripture? A pause to make an appeal that "these brethren"(the corinthians) conduct themselves as men and not get mad at Paul.
Its almost as if he thinks what he is about to say, will anger them...so he appeals to them to not be as chidren.
Why is Paul , afraid they will be angry?
