  TONGUES TO SPEAK OR NOT TO SPEAK Study By Dennis A. Corle There are, it may be, so many kinds of voices in the world, and none of them is without signification. Therefore if I know not the meaning of the voice, I shall be unto him that speaketh a barbarian, and he that speaketh shall be a barbarian unto me. (1 Corinthians 14:10-11). In chapter fourteen of 1 Corinthians, the term tongues appears fifteen times. We have been programmed and conditioned to assume that this term refers to ecstatic utterances such as those associated with the Charismatic confusion of today. This is a passage of Scripture that is so misunderstood and misused by today's Charismatic movement. Tongues in the New Testament were never ecstatic utterances, nor were they always miraculous, as was true on the day of Pentecost. In most instances the term tongues is used in the same way that we use the term languages . This was a very relevant subject in New Testament times, and especially at this particular chu...

1 Corinthians 13:12 1 Corinthians 13:12 For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known. As with other passages of Scripture (such as John 8:32; Isaiah 11:6; 1 Corinthians 2:9), this verse is one that is often misquoted in such a manner as to give a meaning contrary to what the context states. Many use this verse to justify ecumenical gatherings and doctrinal confusion by stating that now we can only see through a glass darkly , and we will not be able to see clearly (ie. understand the Scriptures completely - at least in a way to remove all doctrinal confusion) until we get to Heaven, but is this verse really teaching that? I emphatically say, "no, it isn't!" As a matter of fact, this verse and whole passage is stating that when we get the perfect (complete) canon of Scripture we will be able to see clearly . The Holy Spirit has revealed the truth and opened up many things to us in the New...

The Cost Of Losing Our Separation 1 Kings 13 relates to us the story of a man of God (a prophet in this case) who was commanded to bear a message of judgement to King Jeroboam. After the message was relayed, the prophet was then invited to stay and visit with this ungodly king. 1 Kings 13:7-10 And the king said unto the man of God, Come home with me, and refresh thyself, and I will give thee a reward. And the man of God said unto the king, If thou wilt give me half thine house, I will not go in with thee, neither will I eat bread nor drink water in this place: For so was it charged me by the word of the LORD, saying, Eat no bread, nor drink water, nor turn again by the same way that thou camest. So he went another way, and returned not by the way that he came to Bethel. The man of God kept himself separated in his association with this ungodly king. He would not fellowship, eat or drink, or even stay at this king's (Jeroboam's) home; nor would he accept a reward from him. In th...

God’s Simple Plan of Salvation My Friend : I am asking you the most important question of life. Your joy or your sorrow for all eternity depends upon your answer. The question is: Are you saved? It is not a question of how good you are, nor if you are a church member, but are you saved? Are you sure you will go to Heaven when you die? God says, in order to go to Heaven, you must be born again. In John 3:7, Jesus said to Nicodemus,  “Ye must be born again.”   In the Bible God gives us the plan of how to be born again, which means to be saved. His plan is simple! You can be saved today. How?   First, my friend, you must realize you are a sinner.  “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God”  (Romans 3:23). Because you are a sinner, you are condemned to death.  “For the wages  [payment]  of sin is death”  (Romans 6:23). This includes eternal separation from God in Hell. For …  “it is appointed unto men once to die, but after th...
