I Corinthians 14:5
There is no scripture that suggests that speaking in tongues went out with the apostles.
It remains a powerful and perfect manifestation of the nine we are able to use. I Corinthians 12:7-11
What happened to you? You get saved?
Yes, about 55 years ago.
Learned a few things since then.
Like what to do with the gift of salvation/eternal life/holy spirit/righteousness after I have it.
When did you do receive the gift of salvation/eternal life?
Seventy years ago.
I John 4:13
God, who is the Holy Spirit, is the Giver of His gift, holy spirit, to those who do Romans 10:9-10
He gave to us of His spirit.
Not distinguishing between the Giver and the gift has caused much confusion
A black lie spoken no doubt in love
I John 4:13
13 Hereby know we that we dwell in him, and he in us, because he hath given us of his Spirit.
Now this is not love, you show yourself to be wearing a mask.
Did you not choose this scripture because it seems to say that the Holy Spirit is not a Person separate from the Father and the Son?
That was crafty...your whole method is crafty, love is not crafty.
You even changed the lower case you usually employ for the blest Holy Ghost to a capital.
We cannot possibly both be telling the truth for I know the Holy Spirit as a Person but you say He is not.
Now this is not love, you show yourself to be wearing a mask.

Read it for yourself.
Its meaning is plain as day
See also Acts 11:16-17
You do not understand scripture unless Wierville has taught you what it means...and he teaches awrong.
Salvation was the gift, that Cornelius had received the Holy Ghost was proof to Peter that the gift of salvation had been received.
Only a Person can be grieved, can be pleased, can speak, can teach, can comfort.
Your saying that the Holy Spirit is not a Person simply shows you do not know Him.
