Because the Jews needed to know that scriptures were being fulfilled, that Gentiles were now reconciled to God.
You do not believe the Spirit is the Lord, even though the Bible says so. See 2 Corinthians 3:17-18.
The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit are One. The Bible does not say they all come inside but only the Holy Spirit stays. The Spirit IS the Lord. The Father and the Son are the same, and they have the same Spirit.
As I said before, there was a time I thought I was speaking in tongues and even interpreting what I said, until the Holy Spirit had me realize I was only doing what man had convinced me of, and that I did not study what the written Word of God said.
Just because someone starts weeping during what she believes are tongues, is no proof of it being from God.
Tongue speakers in the Bible times were doing that IF someone else were there to interpret. The reason they could praise God in tongues were because God did not take the gift away if no one was there to understand.
Does the individual always interpret what they say? If not, then your mind is fruitless. A fruitless mind is against what God says.
The Holy Spirit does NOT groan for us. When all we can do is groan, then the Holy Spirit speaks to God for us. Those claiming to speak in tongues misunderstand those scriptures.
What kind of message to the church? Why would God not speak to you in English? The Bible has all the knowledge we need!
Tell the “tongue speaker” to open the Bible and read what God has had written. It is already written and can be read easily in English.
Maybe you are learning to read what I say and stop being rude, except for little remarks here and there. Can you not control yourself?
What do you care so much about what Biblicist thinks of the two of us discussing? He could not care less about you or me. Does it really matter?

You can get into deep discussion with me, or you can center your discussion with people who will just speak rudely to you. -

Speaking in tongues were spoken of in the Old Testament. Isaiah 28:11
That God would speak to the Jews in foreign lips and strange tongues.
We also know that the Old Testament scriptures spoke of God calling people His people who are not His people, and that is the Gentiles.
Speaking in tongues were being fulfilled as scripture stated, and it was also a sign to the Jews that the once “unclean” Gentiles were now able to be God’s people.
Acts 2:6 When they heard this sound, a crowd came together in bewilderment, because each one heard them speaking in his own language.
Acts 2:8-Then how is it that each of us hears them in his own native language? 9Parthians, Medes and Elamites; residents of Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia, 10Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya near Cyrene; visitors from Rome 11 (both Jews and converts to Judaism); Cretans and Arabs-we hear them declaring the wonders of God in our own tongue.
As for the guy that should not have gone to church that day…was that message given to him by someone who spoke in tongues? Again, nowadays tongues are not the same as the biblical tongues. People in earthly languages understood the biblical tongues.

So Paul and Barnabas spent considerable time there, speaking boldly for the Lord, who confirmed the message of his grace by enabling them to do miraculous signs and wonders. Acts 14:3
God confirmed the message by enabling them to do miraculous signs and wonders. The message is confirmed.

Moriah ...
Dis post is called … “The message is confirmed”.
Da message was delivered and confirmed by you know what … Praise God!
Da message was written down in da NT a few years later.
Da message read and delivered today also needs to be confirmed by you know what.
Why does the SAME message today NOT need to be confirmed today?
I'm sorry, I could only get as far as this ... I badly need another dose of patience.

Paul's view on baptism
Colossians 2:11-12
New International Version (NIV)
11*In him you were also circumcised with a circumcision not performed by human hands. Your whole self ruled by the flesh[a] was put off when you were circumcised by Christ, 12*having been buried with him in baptism, in which you were also raised with him through your faith in the working of God, who raised him from the dead. -

Tongues were a gift given when the foundation was being laid and it is finished being laid. God is not confirming the message through your wife’s gibberish, or anyone else in your church. Tongues are for unbelievers to hear the message in their foreign language. How you think that the gibberish spoken in your church is confirming anything is nonsense.
