Hi, I got saved in a charismatic church. The tongues can be a delusional of the mind or of demons themselves.
I used to speak in tongues myself for about a few years - the a Lord has shown me that this indeed a false doctrine of demons and false prophets.
This man proclaimed the truth of the Word of God.
Amen! great testimony! thank you...and yes Mr Pearl is blessed as a teacher of God.
Franchise, So the Lord ? Told you tongues was false doctrine of demons. All the 12 apostles and mother Mary spoke in tongues. 1st cor 13:18 Paul said he speaks in tongues more than you all. Do you in your ignorance say they speak tongues of demons ?
Thank God our Lord brought you out of that.
@@glennbarrett7234 You need to watch the video!
@@glennbarrett7234 i was raised in a pentecostal church and I spoke in tongues also, but now as an adult/ christian, God lead me from it. You, as many charismatics, completely take those scriptures out of context. You have to read the following scriptures to know how it is being discussed. There is an order to everything God is a part of.
1 Corinthians 14:18-33
18 I thank my God, I speak with tongues more than ye all:
19 Yet in the church I had rather speak five words with my understanding, that by my voice I might teach others also, than ten thousand words in an unknown tongue.
20 Brethren, be not children in understanding: howbeit in malice be ye children, but in understanding be men.
21 In the law it is written, With men of other tongues and other lips will I speak unto this people; and yet for all that will they not hear me, saith the LORD.
22 Wherefore tongues are for a sign, not to them that believe, but to them that believe not: but prophesying serveth not for them that believe not, but for them which believe.
23 If therefore the whole church be come together into one place, and all speak with tongues, and there come in those that are unlearned, or unbelievers, will they not say that ye are mad?
24 But if all prophesy, and there come in one that believeth not, or one unlearned, he is convinced of all, he is judged of all:
25 And thus are the secrets of his heart made manifest; and so falling down on his face he will worship God, and report that God is in you of a truth.
26 How is it then, brethren? when ye come together, every one of you hath a psalm, hath a doctrine, hath a tongue, hath a revelation, hath an interpretation. Let all things be done unto edifying.
27 If any man speak in an unknown tongue, let it be by two, or at the most by three, and that by course; and let one interpret.
28 But if there be no interpreter, let him keep silence in the church; and let him speak to himself, and to God.
29 Let the prophets speak two or three, and let the other judge.
30 If any thing be revealed to another that sitteth by, let the first hold his peace.
31 For ye may all prophesy one by one, that all may learn, and all may be comforted.
32 And the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets.
33 For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.
I was never a big reader. I’m slow at understanding what I read. Sometimes I have to read things over and over and over and I still don’t get what I’ve read. My attention span is very limited. I’ve struggled with that all of my life. Please don’t stop doing what you’re doing. You’ve help me understand the true meanings of tongues among other things just by reading verses how they should be read. Thank you for taking the time to put these videos out. God bless you and everyone that watches your videos.
I feel the same exact way it is an amazing thing to have a sound biblical teacher online that you can learn from.
Believe me, you're not as slow as you think.
It's easy to comprehend what you read when you enjoy the subject rhat you're reading about.
@@1Tim1.15 I know what you ate talking about. I never liked history when I was in school. For our 11th. grade semester test, our teacher was going to give an oral test on dates. We were to give him a date when he gave us the question OR he might ask us to recite the Gettysburg Address! Everyone was dreading that. I studied and studied the dates and would stop and practice the address. When the day of the test came and he came around to me, I drew a complete blank on the dates. Seeing that he was going to just make one more trip around the class, I asked him if I could just say the Gettysburg Address. He couldn't belive that I WANTED to say it. I recited it without missing a word. I could memorize long poems...etc. I don't know why dates were so hard for me. I know all my 12 brothers and sisters birthdays and lnew every medicine that my Mother and mentally retarded sister were on. They each were on about 12 medicines. As for history, I have learned more from the history Channel than I ever learned in school. Maybe the teachers just didn't make it interesting enough or maybe God knew I would have more important things to remember in life than when a battle was fought or when a document was signed.
Amen same here brother!!!
Stay Blessed!
🙏✝️🙌
Same here…but don’t let that stop you. God is powerful enough to help us slow readers and lack of understanding what we read.
Ask with a sincere heart for wisdom and knowledge. He’ll give it to you.
Stay faithful and endure to the end.
I fully accept this teaching and have changed my mind on this. I never felt right trying to speak in tongues, and now I see why. I have always been taught different! Thank you for this!!
Mike and the door have a ton of great insight! Watch the eight kingdoms. It will change your life!
@ALLisOn e
1cor 14:2...when you speak in tongues you speak secrets to God ....for no man understandeth ...(you are charged with Gods love that lifts you up and makes it easy to help someone ..who needs help in a known tongue) ...as 1cor 14:4 says you are being EDIFIED ...
It is a ,,gift ,, from God and used by tens of thousands HolySpirit filled christians every day ..
Me too right
The Bible does not ever say 'try to speak in tongues'
So yeah, that could be a problem. It is received by faith.
1 Corinthians 14:2
King James Version
2 For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God: for no man understandeth him; howbeit in the spirit he speaketh mysteries.
So not all Tongues are a common or known language according to Paul in this verse...some times people pray in Tongues unto God!
Nice to see a completely biblical and truthful teaching on tongues.
partially. not completely.
Absolutely Jim Webb.
He removed the word unknown. Dangerous to do that. Try reading it without that word. Senseless. And he rewrote verses 13-15 completely. Also dangerous to do.
@Wally Watts I knew you were going to say you are older. I did not ask for a prayer language. I asked to be baptized in the Holy spirit and got both at the same time. At the time I had no teachers, just a Bible. Your age does not nullify what the Bible says. I am not wrong, you are. I'm not the one who gutted the scripture to fit my view, you are. You accept words of knowledge but not unknown tongues. Why? Because your wife has them? I got news for you. Just because you don't have an experience and others fake it does not erase "unknown/also/my spirit prayeth" from the text. There are two tongues. No one told me this, its in the text. I cant stand it when people lean on " The originals" when what it says dost fit their teaching. You might as well go get an NIV it fits your teaching better as it removes "unknown" from the text. I said it before and Ill say it again. The KJV translators got it right. Who exactly are you to remove and retranslate the word of God? Accept the text or leave it alone. It says what it says and you are not qualified to change it.
@Wally Watts There is no place in the Word of God that says ask for a prayer language.
There is praying in the spirit/praying tongues. But you don't get a "prayer language" as some people say. Doesn't matter how old you are, or how young. :)
I didn’t realize things were this bad.
Keep it up, Brother Pearl.
Mike I wrote about this to you before don't know if you read it. I visited a small church in Pa. long ago and was praying at the alter when I felt the Spirit move me to get up and say something. Now this church had half Spanish speaking folk and half English, two pastors one interpreted. I got up and spoke to the people and one Pastor said I spoke in English and the other said it was Spanish. Thats the short version of the whole story. Boy was I blessed.
Thank You Pastor Michael. You have helped me understand a lot of things that I had questions about. May God bless you and your family!
I love listening to a man teach the bible as it is written. True wisdom . thanks for all you do .
Excellent sermon Pastor, thankyou for making the Word of our Lord abundantly clearly.
I've only been saved for a little over three years now, and my understanding of tongues in Acts and Corinthians, etc. (the Paulist letters) has confused me when I've been exposed to Evangelical/Pentecostal "tongues". My spirit agrees with you - most of it is gibberish/babble in my ears. I speak and understand English, German, Spanish and Algonquin, so I'm no stranger to the grammatical structure of language(s). At first, I felt inadequate, and put this down to my being a 'baby Christian', subsisting on milk. Thank you for validating my understanding of these scriptures, Brother Michael, and thank you, Holy Spirit.
When we look at the separation of languages at the tower of Babel, we see that it is a necessary curse on the earth to prevent the world entering headlong into evil again. The Jews are then told, that when they see other language peoples coming and ruling over them, that they should recognise that they are under a curse from God. Before Jesus came, many of the Jews had been scattered to the world, and other languages had become native to them over the years. When they started returning to Jerusalem year by year for Passover through Pentecost, it was a continued sign of cursing, because having come from different locations, they couldn't understand each other. But Scripture says over and over that God gives understanding to his believers. So what we see at pentecost, is a kind of reversal of the tower of Babel. God shows blessings to the Jews, through the early church, giving the ability to communicate across the language barrier, as if the church was blessed with being able to exist pre-Babel. When you then look at 1 Corinthians, with a good historic Biblical background in mind, as Michael has done, tongues in Corinthians makes a lot of sense then, as seeking order in church meetings, because having people coming in, speaking foreign languages that the congregation don't understand, isn't useful, for encouragement of the church. Unless a foreigner has a message to bring from Scripture, and we have an interpreter to translate. Unfortunately, the church has often allowed tradition and experience to over-ride what the Bible says, and it has caused a great deal of trouble over the years.
@@Holy_Moley I agree with all that you have stated...perhaps the point I was attempting to make is that there are churches/people who put fourth that, unless the believer speaks the abba-dabba-yashti-vashti, i.e. 'praying in the Spirit', then one "isn't saved". Which is neither biblical, nor fair. As for me, I practice what our Lord says in Matthew 6:5-8, and read/hear scriptures daily.
@@Holy_Moley All that is noteworthy and I agree, that does seem to be what was happening at Corinth, in part. We can make that interpretation fit until we get to 1 Cor. 14:14 "For if I pray in an [unknown] tongue, my spirit prayeth, but my understanding is unfruitful. 15 What is it then? I will pray with the spirit, and I will pray with the understanding also: I will sing with the spirit, and I will sing with the understanding also." This tells me something more. As I stated in a previous comment, Paul clearly says that when his spirit prays, his understanding is unfruitful. In other words, the utterance from his lips is unintelligible to his mind, indicating that this speech is not originating from his mind, but from his spirit. This requires faith - faith in a sense that God as a loving Father would not give His children a snake or a scorpion if they asked for an egg or a fish (Luke 11). This is part of the reason the gift of tongues is being rejected by this faithless generation, coupled with the lies and confusion of the devil. Paul's response to the fact that his mind is unfruitful while praying with his spirit is not, as some would have us believe, to shut up, but to sing and to pray with both. What is more interesting is what follows in verse 19: "Yet in the church..." indicating that this singing and praying with the spirit is to be exercised in private between you and your Father in heaven, but can of course be exercised in the church where there is an interpreter.
@@titusstahl1995 thank you!
Thank you SIR for telling the truth and for taking time out of your day to do the Lords work love all the teachings you do we need more people like you telling the truth GOD bless you and your family
Phenomenal, biblical teaching. The truth won’t sit well with many.
The teaching that all must do this and the way they do it is wrong, but this man removed words from the text (unknown/also) and completely rewrote verses 13-15 of 1Cor 14. Read what it actually says and tell me he said the same thing. I like this brother, but this teaching is a reaction to those who slander this gift with their fakery and abuse, not from what the text actually says.
@@noonekennedy1282 Are you saying then that you agree with a private prayer language then? I don't understand..I think he said exactly what is written in verses 13 and 14.
@@joolspools777 Thanks for asking. You are the first person to ever think to ask that question. What I'm saying is that the text says what it says and people on both sides change the meaning of different text to fit their view. Those who pray in tongues use scriptures that have nothing to do with it and people who don't do it, do the very same thing. I'm not going to pray in tongues because I don't know what I'm saying and I'm not comfortable with that. I did have a separate experience AKA the baptism of the Holy Spirit when I was in my 20s and I spoke in tongues then. After that I could not put my Bible down. I read the NT 27 times in one month, and I have not stopped trying to serve the Lord sense then and that was 28 years ago, so I truly believe it was of God. Also, I know very Godly people who do pray in tongues, but not the way the charismatics do it. I'm not telling people to do it or not, but I am sick of people explaining away what this particular scripture is saying out of a reaction to the falseness they see.
Listening to you teach builds my faith and I thank Jesus for you sir
Thank you Brother Micheal, for speaking the Truth through to Holy Word of God; which is Truth. I really enjoy hearing you teaching. God bless you, & your family.
Pray to THE LORD FOR UNDERSTANDING!!! PROPHECY IS BETTER THAN SPEAKING IN TONGUES!!!📖👀💖
Another excellent and comprehensive teaching. THANK YOU BROTHER
AMEN, hope our sisters have open eyes to this. We have been deceived by doctrine due to not searching in Gods word!❤️
Your right Mike I went to a penticostal church for over 17 years and the tongue speaking people keep using the same few syllables over and over and call it tongues. I understand it to be a gift from God to anyone that has been redeemed. And when I finally broke away from that church they wanted me to speak in tongues at will, I told them I would only do that if God impressed me too, and this was a problem. Also they say acts 2.38 that speaking in tongues is evidence of the holy Spirit. But I reminded them thats not what it says, the word " receive " (look up in strongs means ) that you will be given ( forcefully, immediate, following repenting) the Holy Spirit as a gift, and for a seal and evidence is no where in the bible nor does it say "with evidence "anywhere. It also says in most cases they speak in tongues and Prophesy. But I rarely ever seen the person of tongues prophecy. Because prophesy could be challenged and if it did not come true then that person had not heard from God, therefore had no Holy Spirit?. And it says prophesy is better than tongues, so apparently tongues is less than prophesying but they dont practice that and for good reason?. We as christian need to be patient and listen to God and its not the "haves" and "Have nots" . Thank you This was a good video IMO.Bless you!
Amen! I went through similar experience. Thank God He led me to leave that movement. Yes, it’s a movement invented in 1900s. I feel so librated and free now that I’ve found the truth! I don’t follow any denomination, I follow Jesus! God bless you, brother.

@@noonekennedy1282 he’s reading off the KJV, the KJV doesn’t remove anything. The modern versions base their ‘interpretations’ of off the KJV and omits/remove verses. Which version do you read and do you know what it means when it says ‘unknown’ tongue? Because a lot of people are confused when it comes to that, why- 1, they read the wrong bible version, 2, their ‘pastors’ give them their interpretation of it (which sadly, I’m not surprised by, because I was fooled also).

it saddens me so many Christians don't read their Bibles
Or they are reading their modern perverted Bibles.
Good gravy...people are not studying!
Thank you Pastor Pearl.
Guaranteed the modern Bibles are playing a huge part.
@@formallyknownasjojoemc3174 I agree! I studied about this phenomenon years ago and the Lord revealed the same stuff as Mr Pearl is telling us. Demonic influences are all around us.
@@waitingforchrist Charismatics, new age, modern Bibles. You can throw the Vatican in there with it. I saw a video of Kenneth Copeland telling his followers that the 'church'(christian cult more like it) and Catholics need to join together as one. There's much more evidence out there and it fits together like a puzzle.
Thank you for being genuine.
Well another topic I agree with you fully on! Having very little Bible teaching as a kid and after being saved and baptized, I started reading the Bible since I had read very little of it. And with very little outside influence I took God's word as it was written and this is how I understood it. Even though I enjoy my "charismatic" church very much, I told my immediate family the only way I would speak in tongues is with Divine intervention and it doesn't matter to me if anyone has proof of me having the Holy Spirit or not and I don't plan to change where I praise God over the issue. And I won't speak on the issue with my church's members unless I'm asked and then I'll give my honest opinion. O, and thanks for the video!!
I think the problem is one of comprehension... people struggle, perhaps because of our dumbed down education. If learned people - like pastors - can't be in common places, like public schools, and those students don't go to church, or are part of a religious cult - when would they ever hear or read the Truth?
I grew up as a mediocre Catholic. 9 years of Catholic "education" and I had no idea what I was doing... I didn't even fully understand what a Jew was - I thought it was just a religion and didn't realize it is a nation in covenant with God.
When I accepted Jesus as my Savior, my next step was to research Bibles because I wanted the whole Truth.
Thank you for this long-form video. Your channel was one of the first I found on this narrow path. Your Romans study helped me so much and I share it with others. God bless you Brother Mike.
The Israelites are in Covenant with God. The Jews are false converts to the Christ rejecting Cult of the Sadducees, Pharisees, and Scribes.
This is the one word in the English Bible most misunderstood.
“Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: (but) he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also.”
1 John 2:23 KJV
@@JEJAK5396 Israel and Jews are one and the same. Now, does that mean all Jews are of God? No. Revelation tells us that. To take a broad brush and say Israelites are thus, Jews are thus... and say so with such surety, seems unwise. Only God knows the wheat from the chaff and that sorting hasn't happened yet. Even among Christians, Jesus tells us that many will say Lord, Lord.. and He will turn them away because He never knew them.
@@mrs.jaywojo5426 They are not the same. Except when they are.
“of whom it was said, That in Isaac shall thy seed be called:”
Hebrews 11:18 KJV
@@JEJAK5396 Yes, they are. Jesus and Paul were Jews, refer to themselves as such, or do not correct when called such... interesting how they don't say they are Israelites...
Thus saith the LORD of hosts; In those days it shall come to pass, that ten men shall take hold out of all languages of the nations, even shall take hold of the skirt of him that is a Jew, saying, We will go with you: for we have heard that God is with you. - Zechariah 8:23
Then saith the woman of Samaria unto him, How is it that thou, being a Jew, askest drink of me, which am a woman of Samaria? for the Jews have no dealings with the Samaritans. Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water. John 4:9-10
But Paul said, I am a man which am a Jew of Tarsus, a city in Cilicia, a citizen of no mean city: and, I beseech thee, suffer me to speak unto the people. Acts 21:39
For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. Romans 1:16
But glory, honour, and peace, to every man that worketh good, to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile: For there is no respect of persons with God. For as many as have sinned without law shall also perish without law: and as many as have sinned in the law shall be judged by the law; (For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified.
Romans 2:10-13
For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit. 1 Cor 12:13
Wow, wonderful. thank you Jesus the truth is revealed. Love u big brother.
I had the Holy Spirit healed me back in 2009. I believe I am also saved, but I never spoken tongues.
Amen! Jesus saves, not ‘tongues’.
Amen, brother, this is conformation, the Holy Spirit taught me this through His word years ago, and never went back. PTL I am no longer ignorant on this matter.
1 cor 14:2......when speaking in tongues , you speak secrets to God.....

2 For he who speaks in a tongue does not speak to men but to God, for no one understands him; however, in the spirit he speaks mysteries.
3 But he who prophesies speaks edification and exhortation and comfort to men.
4 He who speaks in a tongue edifies himself, but he who prophesies edifies the church.
5 I wish you all spoke with tongues, but even more that you prophesied;
for he who prophesies is greater than he who speaks with tongues, unless indeed he interprets, that the church may receive edification.
>>>
This does not literally mean that absolutely no one can understand the person speaking in tongues.
As we see several times Paul speak about needing an interpreter. Even in Line 5 of this passage.
>>>
It is a bit of an exaggeration to just basically say "You're speaking in a foreign tongue. No one can understand what you're saying, because no one here speaks that language."
>>>
You see the purpose of speaking in church is to edify the church. To help believers grow.
Someone speaking a foreign language is impressive and eye catching, but it does nothing to edify the church unless there is an interpreter.
>>>
So Paul is saying, You're speaking to God, because only God can understand you when you talk like that. And God doesn't need to hear what the spirit says from you. God already knows what the spirit says.
The Church needs it.

Thank you for your response .....
When I am alone 1cor 14:2........Speaking in a unknown tongue secrets to God the result is ,,,I AM BEING EDIFIED,,,, that is why Paul says ,,I speak more in tongues than you all !
But in church if you all speak in tongues ,,somebody,, from outside when hearing you will say ,, THESE PEOPLE ARE MAD ,,,,
Only one person (in church) can speak in an unkown tongue ....then the Holyspirit will give someone els the interpretation ....then the ,,church,, is edified ...but if there is no interpretation .....be quiet......and pray silently .....THE person that gives the interpretation ,,,, gets the interpretation from the Holyspirit ,,,,and not that he understands the one who spoke in the unknown tongue.. ...be blessed dear John Mark ..
To the commenters; 1Cor. 13, this whole chapter speaks on faith, hope and charity, most importantly, charity. 13:13 but the greatest of these is charity. Isn't it ironic how Paul tells us in 13:11 about childish things just before he discusses those childish things. He had to address them as children, babes in Christ. Babies need milk, Adults can chew the meat and spit the bones out. Babies don't know to do that. And thats how I interpret this matter. I guess if you "feel" like you need it, then stay on the bottle. I prefer the meat of the Word. Maybe some day you will wean and grow up in Christ. Until then, Carry on. Going back to 1 Cor 3:1-4. It seems Paul already knows who he is talking to. The Corinthians were a peculiar people and puffed up in their carnality.
Thank you for teaching truth Pastor Michael. I have been following your ministry for 20 years because you never waiver from the truth. There are teachings I don’t necessarily want to hear but I am convicted in my spirit. I have a grown-up in charismatic churches were people were speaking tongues my entire life. But just recently I heard a pastor and it just sounded so foolish to me and right after that is when your video came out about it and it just seemed like confirmation to me that it is foolish in the church. Thank you!
Once again thank you Mr. Pearl.
This was confirmation for me because I have a few brothers in Christ who have all told me that I should be able to speak in Tongues and after my own research and with yours also just confirmation. To me its always been a matter of language and understanding and just as you said I also know of a evangelist, I can't recall his name, but who went to Germany and spoke to some Germans he met and preached the Gospel. The next morning they were to meet up again just for a breakfast and they found they could not understand each other anymore. So clearly that to me is a example of speaking in tongues.
In any case I also try to keep quiet and stay ignorant due to me not wanting to sound self righteous, but just as you pointed out and I have read this passage a few times tongues is NOT a gift to all.
Our God is a God of order.
Love this man of god thankyou for all you do.❤
Great video!! Thank you sir. God through you has helped me completely understand this whole tongue situation (language). God Bless!
Wow the best explanation I've ever heard, i finally understand it ! completely 🙏🤗 thank you so much woohoo Praise the LORD JESUS AMEN. 💥🎉
I'm glad you pointed out how tongues do work biblically and were able to give examples. I'm in a situation where I can't give an "amen" to the prayers in our church and that's just sad. For one, for all I know the people around me are speaking gibberish. And even if they aren't, I still have no way of knowing what they're saying, so I can't join in their prayers. And then those speaking a language that I do understand are all praying over each other at the same time, making it impossible to listen and silently "add my vote/amen" to the prayer before God, if I may express it this way. I love my brothers and sisters in Christ there, but am blocked by this from fully sharing in the fellowship. Thankfully we're moving to a different area soon.
It does not take long to work all this out if you study the proper passages in the proper kjv text. Of course I am never ashamed to lean on great teachers like Mike Pearl. Just as pentacostals think they blabber with the holy spirit, I am sure the holy spirit led me to Mike. The reason is so I can cram a bucket load of scripture in a short amount of time. And time is getting short. God bless.
Very weii said, brother. You have replied in the manner which I was thinking. Bro.Pearl is a voice of clarity and Biblical trurh in a world of confusing clutter and evil deceit.. He does cause me to desire to dig deeper into scripture.

***1 Corinthians 14:1-5
1 Pursue love, and desire spiritual gifts, but especially that you may prophesy.
2 For he who speaks in a tongue does not speak to men but to God, for no one understands him; however, in the spirit he speaks mysteries.
3 But he who prophesies speaks edification and exhortation and comfort to men.
4 He who speaks in a tongue edifies himself, but he who prophesies edifies the church.
5 I wish you all spoke with tongues, but even more that you prophesied;
for he who prophesies is greater than he who speaks with tongues, unless indeed he interprets, that the church may receive edification.
>>>
This does not literally mean that absolutely no one can understand the person speaking in tongues.
As we see several times Paul speak about needing an interpreter. Even in Line 5 of this passage.
>>>
It is a bit of an exaggeration to just basically say "You're speaking in a foreign tongue. No one can understand what you're saying, because no one here speaks that language."
>>>
You see the purpose of speaking in church is to edify the church. To help believers grow.
Someone speaking a foreign language is impressive and eye catching, but it does nothing to edify the church unless there is an interpreter.
>>>
So Paul is saying, You're speaking to God, because only God can understand you when you talk like that. And God doesn't need to hear what the spirit says from you. God already knows what the spirit says.
The Church needs it.

Waiting for your answer John Mark ?

The answer to what?
What your saying is right on.Tongues is a language that somebody understands.
1 Corinthians 14:2 For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God: for no man understandeth him; howbeit in the spirit he speaketh mysteries.
@@clellaadams unfortunately, like most (including me before) you’re connecting the two, they are different. Don’t correlate the 2 books as the same. The book of acts is a transitional book.
In acts, the languages are listed in verse 8-11 that’s why there’s no interpreter. Because the crowd can understand them.
The verse you quoted is towards a struggling church which Paul was rebuking. Notice the term ‘mysteries’ is referring to a language you don’t understand. So yes, it would be unknown and a mystery to you if you are not familiar with the language. Such as, if you don’t speak Chinese and you walk into a church full of Chinese, the language they’re speaking would be a mystery to you. That’s why there’s an interpreter here (which is someone who literally can understand the ‘tongues’ word for word and are not ‘inspired’ of the interpretation. If the ‘tongue’ is true and the interpreter is true, they both should be able to repeat each and every word.) in Corinthians.
I don’t blame you if you thought this, this is the product of ‘religion’. I was a Pentecostal (a movement created in early 1900s), thank God the Lord showed me the truth to get out! Ironically, the women speaks in ‘tongues’ at their church, which meant they deliberately broke the commandment in 1 cornithians 14:34.
Don’t follow religion, follow Jesus. Always refer everything we hear and learned (doesn’t matter who you hear them from) back to the Holy Bible (KJV) to see the truth.
God bless you.
@@anewcreature7 I'm so sorry you can't see the truth. As long as you make it to heaven! Then we're good.
@@clellaadams I just told you the truth, the truth is Jesus Christ. Not religion. Hope to see you in heaven, too. Be bless.
I can’t even understand young folks language so forget the tongue gibberish.
The queer organ player almost made me spit out my water laughing. I love the no no sense answers keep it up.
2 Timothy 2:15. Well done sir. Thank you!
I am the "odd man out",in my case woman, that from A teenager I read about tongues and it was just logical to me to see that tongues=languages, mainly various/different languages that others couldn't comprehend. I know God gives different gifts to each person, translating multiple languages is one. I am amazed at how this has become such a hot topic. I am thankful for the Apostle Paul. He was so used by God for all his
past experiences,his heritage, his practical ways of getting through to so many people. He could really get people to comprehend the Bible and not be mislead. Not taking away anything from the other apostles,they too, were given special gifts to help people. Amazing how the Lord called all these men to use them so mightily with their talents,even with their weaknesses,experiences to reach people. This was a great mini series, very blunt, which is okay with me. May the Lord keep you healthy is continue this work. Sometimes being logical and very blunt reaches more people, once heard by people they rarely forget what they heard( despite denial).
Amen Brother! Amen and thank you! Tongues (Charisma) is confusion, confusion is of the enemy! Blessings
The disciples were given the ability to speak in other languages because they were being sent out into other, far and distant places to preach the gospel. People in those other places spoke different languages as a result of the confusion God put upon those building the tower of Babel.
The Holy Spirit will give special gifts at times when sending persons out to perform specific tasks or missions ordained by Almighty God as a tool to aid in accomplishing that what He desires be done🌷
Thank you for bringing understanding to me on this I’m born again I sometimes think I don’t understand when I was right after listen to u God bless you
Love n appreciate you and your family Big Brother!
i thank God for your life sir
This video was great. Thanks Mike
Thank you for clearing this topic up! God bless you! 🤍
thank you for your time Sir.
Thankyou for putting this together, people are being missled by ministries who put tounges as a must have accessory. People being deceived when they are in search of the truth.
What confuses a lot of believers is not realizing that the word " tongues"( language), in the new testament means that more than one believer is speaking in a language not that multiple believers are speajing in multiple languages. The word " tongues" means one spiritual language.
Paul refers to it as the unknown tongue that " no man knoweth"( 1Cor.14:2).
If no man knows this language ,then it's not a language native to this world.
Paul refers to it as praying in the spirit. When we pray in our native language, its' source is our mind.
If we pray in the spirit , its' source is our spirit. This first happens as the result of the believer recieving the Holy Spirit.
Many helievers have been filled with the Holy Spirit without being told by their minister that the last thing they must yield to rhe Spirit is their tongue. Because the Word says " no man can tame it"(James 3:8). So we must lastly yield it to the Holy Spirit so He can tame it before we can recieve the Holy Spirit
When i prayed and was
filled i simply opened my mouth and relaxed my tongue as a way of surrendering it. After a few minutes i ielt the Spirit seize control of my tongue and i began to fluentlly speak in this strange language.
The joy i felt was indescribable. Suddenly i realised why the Pentecostals acted the way they did by shouting, running,and dancing.
This is how joy is expressed.
I speak in tongues. This language helps me in times of need and in times were the spirit moves. Just because you do not understand does not make spirit false. It illuminates our spirit and builds our spirit up to encourage. I believe in these last days the more it will be degraded as Satan surely does not want this
to be the encourager that the Spirit is.
Stop going off your feelings read the Bible your intelligible gobbledeegoop isn't praising the Lord
*Twice in my Life, in two different churches i experienced people spewing out gibberish that made no sense, it was embarrassing*
Lee Dile
Bad experience ,,,that is why PAUL says to the church ,,,if you all speak in tongues in church and a person from outside comes in and here's you , he will say ,, THESE PEOPLE ARE ,,MAD,, !
"BUT" when you are on your own 1cor14:2....and you speak in an unknown tongue you are speaking ,,secrets,, to God for no man understandeth .......but you are EDIFIED ..1cor 14:4 ....( built up ..charged with Gods love ......then you can encourage a fellow .....or unsaved ......)
That is why I Paul, speak more in tongues than you All !
Thanku Michael Thats what i got out of it when I read it Just like u just taught and I thankyou so much
1 Corinthians 14:26-40
26 How is it then, brethren? Whenever you come together, each of you has a psalm, has a teaching, has a tongue, has a revelation, has an interpretation. Let all things be done for edification.
27 If anyone speaks in a tongue, let there be two or at the most three, each in turn, and let one interpret.
28 But if there is no interpreter, let him keep silent in church, and let him speak to himself and to God.
29 Let two or three prophets speak, and let the others judge.
30 But if anything is revealed to another who sits by, let the first keep silent.
31 For you can all prophesy one by one, that all may learn and all may be encouraged.
32 And the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets.
33 For God is not the author of confusion but of peace, as in all the churches of the saints.
34 Let your women keep silent in the churches, for they are not permitted to speak; but they are to be submissive, as the law also says.
35 And if they want to learn something, let them ask their own husbands at home; for it is shameful for women to speak in church.
36 Or did the word of God come originally from you? Or was it you only that it reached?
37 If anyone thinks himself to be a prophet or spiritual, let him acknowledge that the things which I write to you are the commandments of the Lord.
38 But if anyone is ignorant, let him be ignorant.
39 Therefore, brethren, desire earnestly to prophesy, and do not forbid to speak with tongues.
40 Let all things be done decently and in order.
It used to scare me as a kid and still does and I'm 52 still love you Mom I hope you start listening to mr.pearl he a true about facts that a fact Jack
I would characterize my "tounges" more as growning when i don't exactly know what to pray for.
Thank you Mr. Pearl for this great teaching about tongues
My mother often speaks in tounges. I feel like someone dumped ice water over me every time I hear it. What confirmed to me that she is making it all up, she was pretending to speak in Spanish one day like she was an immigrant or something. It was EXACTLY the same as when she "speaks in tongues".
1 Corinthians “Now, brethren, if I come unto you speaking with tongues, what shall I profit you, except I shall speak to you either by revelation, or by knowledge, or by prophesying, or by doctrine?”
And even things without life giving sound, whether pipe or harp, except they give a distinction in the sounds, how shall it be known what is piped or harped?”
I love this guy.
This is great teaching and very helpful. Thank you
It's kinda ironic, I just read another comment by somebody else. He mentioned Ephesians 4:5 , where it says - there is one lord , one faith , and one baptism. This is true, it does say that. John the Baptist also said I baptized you unto repentance. There is one that comes after me that will baptize you with the Holy Ghost and fire. That's what happened at pentacostal.
thank you very much, I'm in total agreement with what the word says, people definitely need to understand the word, The way charismatic churches teach tongues is not what I see in the book of Acts, what I see in the book of Acts, is them speaking in the languages of the people that were there, so they could hear the gospel in all the languages that were there, and that's what happened.
I prayed alone in tongues, no one heard but many years later a professor in Hebrew translated it for me. I see the affects of that pray in his people today.
We used to attend a church in NH, once a year the Pastor would go to Mexico with a small group, to preach and to help the people in the village they visited. One time he returned and told us how he would preach in English and one of the village women would translate the sermon into Spanish. When she was asked how she knew English she replied that she didn't.
Very good teaching Michael . Sometime could you address the Copeland teaching on the promise of 120 year life span ?
why don't you just study the Bible like 2 Tim. 2:15 says and the Lord will reveal it to you. He will.
Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; and ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. (Well done Mike!)
Clear teaching that cuts through much confusion, but not complete. The following passage was not properly addressed:
1 Cor. 14:14 "For if I pray in an [unknown] tongue, my spirit prayeth, but my understanding is unfruitful. 15 What is it then? I will pray with the spirit, and I will pray with the understanding also: I will sing with the spirit, and I will sing with the understanding also." This implies when Paul prays with his spirit (Note: in his private prayer life, because in verse 19 he makes a contradistinction: "Yet in the church," signifying a difference in purpose and function.) the utterance from his lips is unintelligible to his mind, since he hasn't learned that language and/or the Holy Spirit hadn't given him its interpretation. What then does Paul do? Cast off praying and singing with his spirit? By no means! "I will pray with the spirit, and I will pray with the understanding also."
Edit #1: I couldn't help but notice as I scrolled through the comments how many people, after forcing a half-true interpretation onto this passage, just *conveniently* skipped these verses without offering any explanation.
Edit #2: I also noticed in the comments people using the term *with* the spirit interchangeably with *in* the Spirit. This, I believe, is doctrinally incorrect. The usage of *with* or *in* corresponds to the punctuation of the letter *s* in spirit. Context is key. I contend - based on the overall context of Corinthians, that it is possible for a person to pray and sing *with* their spirit while, based on the overall teaching of scripture, praying and singing *in* the Spirit (Holy). In other words, their prayer and song are led and inspired by the Spirit of God dwelling in them. Furthermore, it is possible and encouraged to pray and sing *with* the mind (aka. intellect) *in* the Spirit (Holy). In the same token, those songs and prayers of the mind are also led and inspired by the Holy Spirit.
In contrast to both these scenarios, based on the command found in Ephesians 6:18 [to pray] always with all prayer and supplication *in* the Spirit - I contend that a person can sing and pray, whether with the mind or with the spirit, and fail to be led by the Holy Spirit in that act, resulting in him singing and praying outside of (if I may so say) the mind, will and purpose of the Spirit. Again, on that same token, if a person were to sing and pray with his mind but fail to be led by the Spirit of God, that act would also fall short of being conducted *in* the Spirit. This figures nicely with Romans 8 where we see the same terminology being used, namely walking after the Spirit vs walking after the flesh, living in the Spirit vs living in the flesh. All of this fits nicely and consistently with the entire New Testament teaching on these matters.
The importance of walking in love toward your fellow man is stressed throughout.
Baby tongue 😂
Good teaching!
Thank you
Nice. Except all the KJ stuff. It’s amazing how the Lord gave us better translations so more people can get saved
Bahahahah! Incredible! I rarely laugh but this was golden! 47:27
THANK YOU
Spot on pastor with explanation. I’ve never really understood the babble some people pass off as speaking in tongues when the book of Acts is very clear. Boom Shaka laka laka boom Shaka Shaka Kahn Shaka Zulu is gibberish, not speaking in tongues.
Perfect teaching.
Thanks again for the TRUTH in JESUS name 🙏
Wow thank you for this awesome teaching of our bible. I really struggle to understand it so having you to teach it is awesome! I once saw an episode of Sid Roth telling people how to pray in tongues by moving your tongue around and saying words!!! It was embarrassing and total jiberish! 😳
thank you for such a well explained and not condescending but firm rebuke or redirection Psalms 141
Thanks pastor. I appreciate your teaching. Since my stroke I have been very interested in the true Gospel that has been messed up by the so-called translators who I learned even took out the name of Father and put in the titles Lord and God instead of His actual name YHWH. No pastor or clergymen ever taught me that. Since I was a child I thought Father's name was Lord or God. I crave the truth. Like Father said "My people perish from a lack of knowledge". And of course, Christ is The Truth. Love in Christ. May YHWH always help and bless you and your family. Amein.
I agree 💯 % Since been saved last year, I’ve had people pushing speaking in tongues on me, like if I don’t do it I’m not really saved, if I don’t do it God can’t understand me. Instructing me to say Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah over and over again until you start babbling- I’m sorry but I don’t feel a truth connection with this belief, I believe if God wants me speaking in tongues he will put it upon my heart, and give me the gift, I believe it will come naturally, not me trying to make it sound like I’m doing it to please man. I believe these people have been misled.
✝️🙏🏽❤️ I hear God, and he hasn’t spoken to me about this. He knows I have other things to learn and grow from. Amen 🙏🏽
There was a clear, true case of a miner who spoke in (diverse) tongues. Although he only had an 8th grade education, he often spoke to men in their native tongue about the Word of God. On his death bed he was speaking (latin or Greek, I believe) to the doctors & they completely understood him. When they asked his wife how he came to be so fluent & where he went to school, she replied that he'd hadn't been to school since 8th grade, and he'd never learned it. Scared them right out of the room. It was always manifested when witnessing to the person about the Word of God & Christ. Very much as the disciples exhibited.
I believe both can exist. Even Pharaoh's magicians copied Moses's miracles (up to a point !)
Prophesy vs. Mystery . Law vs, Grace.
Thank you for the courtesy and the blessing and I see you working out there I will perform against me shall have a prosper we've got our crew
The Apostles Paul said - although I speak with tongues of men and angels, and have not love, I am nothing.
The verse the man just quoted - corinthians 14:2 says no one can understand the person, because the person speaks mysteries unto God. This is a heavenly angelic language he is speaking of. It also does build a person up who has been given this ability because the scripture says - He who speaks in an unknown tongue edifies himself. A large swath of the Baptist camp have taught this for generations. There are around 20 baptist denominations since around the 1500's. Not all Baptists believe this teaching. There are obviously showmanship and a fake in a pentacostal or any denominational local church anywhere.
I have been in services with real tounges and interpretation.
It is real. Pastor i would encourage you to allow the church to do the same
He never said that tongues wasn't real.
People have told me they actually spoke another language (that they didn’t know)- it was confirmed by the person that the Lord needed it to be spoken to!
I don’t understand why people who “speak”in tongues don’t understand the Underlying principle here-
I have just supposed it could make folks “feel” superior to other people! Idk!
It seems the speaking in tongues video is not available in Australia 🇦🇺
Hi heather. Can you email a screen shot of the error to ngjquestions@nogreaterjoy.org? That way we can have the technical department look into the issue. We were not aware of the video being unavailable anywhere.
Thank you for this I was confused about it God bless
Great teaching thank you!
I see many evangelicals especially the younger 1's doing the tongues.I look at it like this -whatever they believe that's bringing them to Jesus ? Let them have it.A walk with God is starting in thier hearts and who are we to judge anyone? God can read your mind and He and only He can tell what's in a man's heart and not everyone has a biblical scholarly education.And what did Jesus say about practicing your righteousness in public?There's a reason for that too...If God starts a work in anyone we should simply pray for that person's journey to be successfully accomplished.And let the Lord work out the details as each man's salvation is unique.
This isn't the religion of self, this isn't what can I get from God. It's not about us at all.
GBU, sir Thank U
Thank you for your teaching..
19:11 *fun fact* The word for “confounded” only appears twice in the Septuagint: here and when God scrambled the languages at Babel (so He is undoing the scattering?)
Blessed be The Lord Our God
King of the universe
Who preserves for Himself
A remnant.
Praise Be Jesus. 💛☝️
I saw that one time on my first visit to a new church. I sat and watched the spectacle and listened to what the one woman who was supposedly translating said until they both fell on the floor. I didn't get anything but a bunch of gibberish from either woman. I then sat there for the rest of the service and then ran out of that place as fast as I could. The whole thing freaked me out really bad as that had never happened before in any church I have even been to. I never went to church after that. My church was closed down and was sold to someone that turned it into a bar. Needless to say, I never went there either. Haven't been in a church since and it's been about 40 years now. I'm be turning 69 YO in a few days. I've been single for about 38 of those years and have just given up. I pray for my 2 sisters, a few friends and a few acquaintances around the world and then I usually just ask G-s to let me die in my sleep. I don't even pray for myself anymore at least hardly ever. Now, I'm just waiting to die. I'm done.
