Daily Study: Speaking in tongues is one of those Bible concepts that feels a little out there and has many doctrinal interpretations and debates, which cause some Christians to shy away from it. However, speaking in tongues is not complex and is a powerful prayer method for the success of the calling God has given you.

When you come together, each of you has a hymn, or a word of instruction, a revelation, a tongue or an interpretation. Everything must be done so that the church may be built up. 27 If anyone speaks in a tongue, two—or at the most three—should speak, one at a time, and someone must interpret. 28 If there is no interpreter, the speaker should keep quiet in the church and speak to himself and to God.29 Two or three prophets should speak, and the others should weigh carefully what is said. 30 And if a revelation comes to someone who is sitting down, the first speaker should stop. 31 For you can all prophesy in turn so that everyone may be instructed and encouraged. 32 The spirits of prophets are subject to the control of prophets. 33 For God is not a God of disorder but of peace—as in all the congregations of the Lord's people.34 Women should remain silent in the churches. They are not allowed to speak, but must be in submission, as the law says. 35 If they want to inquire about something, they should ask their own husbands at home; for it is disgraceful for a woman to speak in the church.36 Or did the word of God originate with you? Or are you the only people it has reached? 37 If anyone thinks they are a prophet or otherwise gifted by the Spirit, let them acknowledge that what I am writing to you is the Lord's command. 38 But if anyone ignores this, they will themselves be ignored.39 Therefore, my brothers and sisters, be eager to prophesy, and do not forbid speaking in tongues. 40 But everything should be done in a fitting and orderly way.
On Sunday, Ben spoke to us about speaking in tongues and how we can use this in our personal prayer lives. He shared the importance of speaking in tongues, how tongues can help us and how it allows us to speak directly to God.
Sunday, June 15, 2025 – We continue our study of the 16 Fundamental Truths of the Assemblies of God by reviewing the 7th truth and studying the 8th truth. The 7th truth is that we believe in the Baptism of the Holy Spirit, and the 8th truth is that the initial evidence of receiving this Baptism is speaking in tongues. It’s important to note that our belief in the active Gifts of the Holy Spirit is available to all believers, not just a select few. Even though speaking in tongues is noted as the initial physical evidence of the Baptism of the Holy Spirit, it is much more than just that in a person’s life. We find that Paul spoke in tongues more than anyone else, and he encouraged everyone to develop that special prayer and worship language. One might ask, why are tongues necessary? That’s a legitimate question, and we aim to address it in today’s message. Worship and study with us as we seek to learn more about the gift of the Holy Spirit.

To be marked by the Spirit means to be identified as God's own, sealed, branded, and set apart by His presence within you. It is not primarily about speaking in tongues or having emotional moments, but about receiving the promised Holy Spirit through faith in Christ.This Spirit is the guarantee of your salvation, the agent of sanctification, and the proof that you belong to God. Just like circumcision marked the people of God in the Old Covenant, the indwelling of the Holy Spirit marks believers in the New covenant.We pray that as you listen to this sermon, you grow in the knowledge of God.

The baptism of the Holy Spirit isn't just about speaking in tongues—it's about being immersed in radical love and raw power. It's not something we muster up, but something we submit to, so we can walk in supernatural compassion and authority to reform the world, not just survive it. This is the year the Spirit helps us do what we could never do on our own.

Many non-Orthodox churches are appealing to emotion by using charismatic forms and expressions. What's the Orthodox view of things like speaking in tongues, faith healing, and prophetic words of knowledge?
This week's episode, led by Andrew with Pastors Scott Kramer and Karey Schaffer, centers on Sunday's message about the promise of God's power through the Holy Spirit during Pentecost, emphasizing the baptism in the Holy Spirit, speaking in tongues, and the importance of being a witness for Christ. They discuss topics such as the difference between receiving the Holy Spirit at salvation versus the baptism in the Holy Spirit and the role of boldness and sensitivity in sharing one's faith.
Send us a textActs 10:44-48While Peter was still saying these things, the Holy Spirit fell on all who heard the word. And the believers from among the circumcised who had come with Peter were amazed, because the gift of the Holy Spirit was poured out even on the Gentiles. For they were hearing them speaking in tongues and extolling God. Then Peter declared, “Can anyone withhold water for baptizing these people, who have received the Holy Spirit just as we have?” And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. Then they asked him to remain for some days.Support the show

The Holy Spirit of God has been misunderstood and misrepresented since the day of Pentecost. When the people of the city heard the 120 in the upper room speaking in tongues and worship they supposed they were drunk. Unfortunately it is not much different today. The Holy Spirit comes for one thing and one thing only and that is to make sure Jesus is lifted up to the glory of the Father. That is what He wants to do in our lives as well. That we have the power to live our life lifting up Jesus to the glory of the Father.

Acts 19:1-7 English Standard VersionPaul in Ephesus19 And it happened that while Apollos was at Corinth, Paul passed through the inland country and came to Ephesus. There he found some disciples. 2 And he said to them, “Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed?” And they said, “No, we have not even heard that there is a Holy Spirit.” 3 And he said, “Into what then were you baptized?” They said, “Into John's baptism.” 4 And Paul said, “John baptized with the baptism of repentance, telling the people to believe in the one who was to come after him, that is, Jesus.” 5 On hearing this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. 6 And when Paul had laid his hands on them, the Holy Spirit came on them, and they began speaking in tongues and prophesying.7 There were about twelve men in all.English Standard Version (ESV)The Holy Bible, English Standard Version.

Pentecost isn't just about wind, fire, and speaking in tongues — it's about what happens next. The Holy Spirit unifies, empowers, and reveals — not only to the early church, but to us today. In this sermon, discover how the Spirit bridges divides, equips ordinary people for extraordinary love, and draws us deeper into God's presence. Whether you're curious, skeptical, or longing for more, the invitation is the same: come and see what the Spirit is doing.TEXTS: Acts 2:1-21, John 14:8-27https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Acts%202%3A1-21&version=ESVhttps://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John%2014%3A8-27&version=ESV
On this Pentecost Sunday, we're challenged to ask ourselves a profound question: 'Is this that?' Are we experiencing the same power, gifts, and manifestations of the Holy Spirit that the early church did in Acts 2? This message urges us to hunger for all that God has for us, reminding us that the baptism of the Holy Spirit isn't limited to a denomination or time period - it's a living experience available to all believers. We're encouraged to seek after the fullness of God's power, including healing, speaking in tongues, and other spiritual gifts. The central theme revolves around the outpouring of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost and its relevance for us today. This isn't just ancient history; it's an invitation to a deeper, more empowered walk with God. As we reflect on our own faith journey, let's consider: Are we settling for less than everything God wants to give us? Are we experiencing the same transformative power that changed the early church? This message challenges us to open our hearts, repent, and eagerly receive all that God has for us in this present day.

What is Second Blessing Theology, and is it biblical? Joshua Lewis unpacks the classical Pentecostal belief that Spirit baptism is a distinct, subsequent event after salvation—often evidenced by speaking in tongues. While Josh is a continuationist who speaks in tongues and values the gifts of the Spirit, he challenges key elements of Second Blessing Theology and the doctrine of initial physical evidence.
Daily Study: Each gift is meant to be helpful and serve a purpose within the body of Christ. While it is good to desire spiritual gifts, it is ultimately God who determines which gifts each person receives. The reference to speaking in tongues in Paul's writings pertains to its public expression, not the private prayer language used in personal devotion.

Send us a textWhat did Jesus mean when He declared "all the prophets and the law prophesied until John"? This provocative question sparked a passionate theological exchange that cuts to the heart of how we understand spiritual gifts today.When Jesus explicitly stated that the prophets were "until John," He established a profound theological boundary. Throughout the Old Testament, every prophet from Moses to Malachi pointed toward Christ's arrival. Their collective purpose—over 300 prophecies—converged on the coming Messiah. John the Baptist, as the final forerunner, completed this prophetic lineage by preparing the way for Jesus Himself.This discussion contrasts traditional biblical interpretation with charismatic perspectives in sometimes heated exchanges. If prophets existed primarily to foretell Christ's coming, what purpose would modern-day prophets serve when Christ has already come and His return is clearly promised in Scripture? The conversation explores how claims of prophetic gifts today often create problematic spiritual hierarchies, with some believers positioning themselves as spiritually elite based on manifestations like speaking in tongues.The episode delves into critical passages including not only Jesus's declarations about John but also examinations of figures like Agabus in Acts. Rather than supporting ongoing prophetic offices, these examples likely represent the conclusion of an era. The Scripture's sufficiency becomes a central theme—believers are "completely furnished with everything needed" through God's Word.Whether you've wondered about spiritual gifts, questioned charismatic practices, or simply want to better understand biblical prophecy, this thought-provoking discussion challenges assumptions and encourages a return to scriptural authority over experiential validation. Join us as we explore what it means when Jesus declares John as the last in the prophetic tradition.Support the show

Bible Study: (2:56) Acts 19:1 – Apollos was a Jew from Alexandria from Ephesus who had been baptized with the baptism of John and had not received the Holy Spirit. He ends up being a very important member of the Church. John baptized with a baptism of repentance and that is what we see in the Gospel of John. John the Baptist is constantly saying in the Gospel of John that he is not the Messiah. Break 1 Letters: (25:05) David – Has a question about Evangelism and introducing someone to prayer.

Sunday, June 1, 2025 – As we continue our series on the 16 Fundamental Truths of the Assemblies of God, we are focusing on Tenant #7: The Baptism of the Holy Spirit. Today, we will learn that this belief, along with the Initial Evidence of Speaking in Tongues, differentiates a Protestant church from a Protestant Pentecostal church. Most, if not all, Protestant churches agree on the first six Fundamental Truths we’ve already discussed; it’s when we discuss the Baptism of the Holy Spirit that the differences arise. It’s crucial to realize that for a person to acknowledge their sins and receive forgiveness, the Holy Spirit is the active agent who convicts and leads them to Jesus for forgiveness. At that moment, the Holy Spirit is welcomed into that person's life and takes residence within them. That’s the saving power of the Holy Spirit, but it’s not the Baptism of the Holy Spirit. It’s the same Holy Spirit with a different purpose and result. The Baptism is a distinct and subsequent act following salvation. That’s what we’re going to learn today. Worship and study along with us.

Screams echoed from behind cloistered walls… and the Devil was said to answer. In 1633, a quiet French convent in Loudun became the unholy battleground for one of history's most shocking cases of mass possession. The Ursuline nuns—once devout and cloistered—began speaking in tongues, writhing with violent fits, and accusing a local priest of inviting Satan into their sacred space. Was it true possession? Mass hysteria? Or something even darker? Join Anne and Renata on True Hauntings as they uncover the disturbing events that rocked the Church, scandalized a nation, and ended in fire and blood.

Garth Heckman The David Alliance TDAgiantSlayer@Gmail.com How do you get good at anything? You practice… that seems obvious. But how do you get really good at something… like expert level. Well you practice but you practice under duress. Doctors who came back from war were far better at their jobs having practiced under war time conditions. The Benefits of Military Medical Experience include…. Trauma and Emergency Care Expertise: Military doctors, especially those who have served in combat zones, gain unparalleled experience in managing severe trauma, critical injuries, and mass casualty events under high-pressure, resource-limited conditions. This experience can be invaluable in civilian trauma centers and emergency departments. Adaptability and Resourcefulness: Military physicians are often trained to work in diverse and sometimes austere environments, using whatever resources are available. This fosters a high degree of adaptability, problem-solving skills, and the ability to remain calm in chaotic situations. Leadership and Teamwork: Military medicine emphasizes strong leadership, teamwork, and a clear chain of command. These skills are highly transferable to civilian healthcare settings, particularly in managing teams and coordinating care. Exposure to Diverse Patient Populations: Military physicians often change stations frequently and may be exposed to a wide variety of patient populations globally, broadening their clinical perspective. Focus on Pure Medicine (less administrative burden): In some military settings, doctors can focus more on patient care without the same concerns about insurance or billing that civilian doctors often face, allowing them to hone their clinical skills. Innovation: Many medical innovations and practices, such as triage systems and specialized surgical teams, have originated or been refined in military settings and have had a significant impact on civilian healthcare. When you don't let anyone in your emotions, your faith or your mind… you build your Spiritual strength or should I say your spiritual armor. Wether it is a person or a circumstance or even a physical health issue - these aren't just proving grounds, they are paving grounds for your life. You are learning to pave your walk in life in a straight and narrow. When emotions, doubt, anger, bitterness… when these emotions attack you it can cause an uphill and uneven walk… with pitfalls and roadblocks… but they are of your making because you don't choose to the right response. Silence is your Protection Scripture is your weapon Faith is your push back into the darkness Silence protects you a few ways… You do not give your adversary any more ammo to pull your strings or trigger you. You keep them guessing You ultimately make them give up You create a sense that you know something they don't and it makes them feel vulnerable, more likely to expose their motives and their faults. Scripture is your weapon. I just had a conversation with a young man who said he does not believe in speaking in tongues and the HS gifts for today… I said show me in scripture where it says that. He started to say “well I think… I cut him off immediately and told him he was either incredibly stupid, naive or arrogant or he was God. Because no one who serves God should care what another man thinks if it does not line up with scripture. My life is lived according to scripture… not my circumstances, not my upbringing, not what others think… even if they seem smarter than me… My life and how I view my life is totally based on scripture. If the rest of my life I pray for people to be healed and they are not… Im still believing God heals for today because that is what Gods word says. My aikido sense was John Barr- I have talked about him a few times on my podcast. He was the best, well known, on magazine covers, fought with Steven Seagal… his wife tells a story of when they went to a restaurant that had a bar…. (Story) No change in emotion, no anger, no change of demeanor… just a calm statement of faith. John knew what he knew, he believed what he knew and he knew it was true. THATS FAITH. When you pray a prayer of faith or live a life of faith… you don't have to pray loud, live brash, but if you just know what you know, believe what scripture says, and live the truth. Thats faith. Authority self esteem, self control, inner strength… self respect… its a muscle. And as they say… use it or lose it!
