    Is Speaking in Tongues of the Devil?

    And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance (Acts 2:4)

    There are groups who believe that all miracles ceased some time after the apostles died. Naturally the ability to speak in other tongues would have gone out as well. Therefore, any manifestation of tongues among Pentecostal and Charismatic groups is considered by cessationists to be either psycho-babble or a demonic manifestation.

    There are also other groups who would never deny that God does miracles today but they too are skeptical of Pentecostal and Charismatic experiences of tongues. Some of them claim to have casted demons out of people who manifested tongues. Testimonies and statements of this nature have made people afraid to seek God for this gift.

    While we do not dismiss the fact that Satan will often "ape" God's work, we must be careful not to cause one to distrust the Holy Spirit. Jesus said, "And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues" (Mark 16:17). Jesus said that His signs include authority over demons and speaking in tongues. Some groups believe in neither and other groups believe strongly in the deliverance ministry while casting aspersions on speaking in tongues. Yet Jesus said that both are available.

    If both have been made available to the believer then there is no need to be afraid of getting a demon when you ask God for the filling of the Spirit with the evidence of tongues. Jesus said, "Or if he shall ask an egg, will he offer him a scorpion? If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?" (Luke 11:12-13)

    God will protect the sincere seeker from receiving a demonic manifestation when He has asked for a promised gift. When we ask for the infilling of the Holy Spirit then, as Luke states in Acts 2:4, it is He who gives us the utterance to speak in tongues. He will not force us to do it. We will speak in tongues as an act of our free-will. But it is the Holy Spirit who provides the supernatural ability to do it. Therefore, if you have not received this precious gift from God, ask Him for it. It's a demon-free gift.

    Kind of like "I believe that I have been born again and that I have the Holy Spirit and that the Holy Spirit does something intangible because scripture says so" and that is it.

    No, more like, "I believe that I have been born again and that I have the Holy Spirit, but He's no different than having Jesus in my heart"

    All of which is theoretical. And if they do feel something then it is just emotional.

    I'm talking about all out cessationists, not Christians in general who havent been baptized in the Spirit.

    It is why most of them have to focus on intellectual "expository" Bible exegesis. Since there is no expectation of God's manifestations then cessationists preachers are obligated to excite and thrill their listeners with their personal brilliance.

    That is usually the reaction I get from some when I teach on the Baptism with the Holy Spirit. I call for those who want to receive and some will say, "I already have the Spirit." For some, no matter how much you emphasize the fact that the Baptism is a subsequent experience, it doesn't seem to register in their minds.

    The baptism in the Spirit is one of the doctrines I thought I was the most successful in demonstrating as biblical and for today, in a cessationist environment on CARM fifteen-twenty years ago. They really didnt have much to say that was even half useful.

    ...and you heard the preacher say, that they already have the WHOLE Holy Spirit, not just part of the HS. Translation: Why do I need ADDITIONAL HS (i.e., Second blessing Baptism of HS), since I already have it all at salvation.
