Tongues Is For Today
The Bible mentions two kinds of tongues in 1 Cor.13:1: a. "tongues of men" ethnic languages with an interpretation; (spoken to men). b. "tongues of angels" devotional heavenly tongues, "speak mysteries in the Spirit" to God; (1 Cor.14:2).
2) Rom.8:26-27: Speaking in tongues enhances your prayer life. "We do not know how to pray as we should…the Spirit Himself intercedes with groanings…." 1 Cor.14:14 "If I pray in a tongue, my spirit prays…" (the mind doesn't comprehend) When we are being tempted, attacked, or just confused, speaking in tongues is a powerful weapon. As we speak "mysteries" directly to God, even the demons do not understand!
3) Eph. 5:18-19: "spiritual songs" means singing in tongues. The Baptism in the Holy Spirit enhances your ability to worship. Jn.4:24 : Worship in spirit and truth.
Results of the Baptism in the Holy Spirit

2) Will give you power to witness, more effective evangelism. Acts 2:41 3,000 saved!

5) Will increase purification in your life it is a baptism with fire! (Mt.3:11-12, Is.4:3-4) Speaking of the Holy Spirit, Jesus said, "He will convict the world of sin…" Jn.16:7-8
How To Receive This Baptism

2) Activate your Faith ... We receive every experience in God by faith. As you sense the anointing of the Holy Spirit, step out in faith. (Take a risk.) Stop speaking in English, but continue to vocalize. in another language ("seize, take hold off", Acts 8:15, Acts 19:2, Acts 2:38) It is a GIFT from the Father;
we do not have to do anything special to "merit" this gift, we simply receive. Remember: Maintain what you Receive! Allow the Holy Spirit to fill you daily as you pray in the Spirit, worship, and speak or sing in tongues each day. Use the gift He has given you!
