What Is Praying In The Spirit?

@Thandeka thank-you for BC Ms. Thandeka 👍

@Thandeka You obviously didn't read my reply. I said I did [u]not[/u] say it was selfish. This is a great gift to have.

@LadyGrace Oh sorry 😊. I read your response I must have missed the [b]not.[/b] My bad.

@Thandeka that's okay. No problem. That's easy to do.

@LadyGrace I agree it's unbiblical for people to teach others to speak in tongues. It's not for the people to teach but for the Holy Spirit. The only thing people can do is teach others on the subject.

I was having this conversation with a lady from church just a few days ago. She was telling me that her daughter who goes to another church said her church members corrected her in the way she spoke in tongues. I told her plainly that it's unscriptural. I told her she should study her Bible so as not to be swayed to and fro by religiousity.

@Thandeka Amen sister. So true. God bless you in your journey.

Thank you. You too Miss @LadyGrace

@Thandeka every time you pray your spirit prays... but you can pray from earth or your spirit can go to heaven and speak..

@israelwins That's not what scripture says. It says when you pray in tongues your spirit prays.

@Thandeka That's not what scripture says. It says when you pray in tongues your spirit prays [b]1 Corinthians 14:14.[/b]

@BibleData 1 Corinthians 14 mainly talks about speaking in tongues. Speaking in tongues is only pointless when you're around other believers because only you benefit from it. Jude 1:20 tells us it edifies when you speak in other tongues. The apostle Paul does advice us to pray that we may interpret so the church may benefit.

@BibleData denends if there are two spirits next to each other they can communicate together from the vessels ,, depends on the topic

@Thandeka That wasn't in the passage you posted. That completely aside since when does praying in the Spirit mean speaking in tongues? Did you notice the word IF in that? If does not mean DO. It is a conditional word If/else is a logic statement in computer lingo. Can you explain ! Corinthians 14:22? I can. Can you? Oh and what did Jesus say in Matthew 6:7 And when you pray, do not babble as the Gentiles do, for they think that they will be heard for their many words.

@hippyjoe1955 I was hoping you'd go study the chapter because that chapter settled it for me. I was once confused about it too but it was clear in that chapter.

What has babbling have to do with speaking in tongues? Jesus himself said this will be the sign that'll follow the believers.

[b]Mark 16:17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;[/b]

If you deny that he meant speaking with new tongues means speaking in tongues then you're choosing to be ignorant and there's nothing I can do.

@Thandeka Believe it or not praying in tongues and speaking new languages are not the same thing. Go back in the Bible and find all the places where speaking in tongues happened. What was the result?

@Thandeka YOU DONT HAVE TO BOW YOUR HEAD TO ASK JUST TALK AS YOU ARE SPEAKING TO A FRIEND..

@israelwins True that. You can bow your head if you're feeling up to it.

@Thandeka one asked me if he could have a mercedes i said yes he earned it

@jshm2 do you have scripture to support this?
