Speaking in tongues is one of the spiritual gifts you manifest when you become filled with the HOLY GHOST. So many believers desire to speak in tongues but do not know how to go about it. Some even try to learn it like an ordinary language. Some attempt to successfully copy from others and speak it, but deep in them they know that it is weightless.

I am only concerned about tongues here and now because it is the most prominent sign of confirmation that you have been filled with the HOLY GHOST. There I am neither here to talk about other spiritual gifts nor to even elaborate on tongues. The goal here is to tell you how to receive the Baptism of the HOLY GHOST so that you can speak in real tongues as it was at Pentecost as well as manifest any other spiritual gift the HOLY GHOST may want to bless you with.

Note that it is futile for you to chase after spiritual gifts without first asking for the Baptism of the HOLY GHOST. Speaking in tongues and all other spiritual gifts like healing and prophecy are the benefits this baptism.

How can you be baptized with the HOLY GHOST?

1. Fasting and fervent prayer. Unless you are patient and persistent, you may lose hope while waiting. You will need to stay in waiting for a few days fasting and praying. It is not magical, it is not automatic either. Heaven looks at your seriousness and commitment. Remember the disciples fasted and prayed for many days before the HOLY GHOST fell on them as cloven tongues of fire, and they began to speak in other tongues (Acts 2:1-4).

2. Laying on of hand. Simply meet someone who is truly anointed with the HOLY GHOST. Ask the person to pray for you by laying their hand on you so that you too can be baptized with the HOLY GHOST. This was how many got filled in the early church. The apostles laid hands on people and they were baptized with the HOLY GHOST and spoke in tongues (Acts 8:14-17).

3. Desire HIM. You can be in meetings where people are being filled with the HOLY GHOST every now and then, but still you are not filled. GOD responds to strong desire for HIM. Peter didn't do much at the home of Cornelius. He was amazed at how quickly the HOLY GHOST fell upon them while he spoke to them. Cornelius, out of a strong desire for GOD, had been instructed by Heaven to send for Peter. The Baptism happened effortlessly (Acts 10:1-6, 44-47).

Have a wonderful week ahead in JESUS' name.

JESUS is LORD!

The key sign of receiving the Holy Ghost is the zeal for Holiness and Evangelism and not speaking in tongues blah blah blah. One could fake that easily

Ok

Good job Op

[size=15pt]There are many gifts of the Holy Spirit TO ME tongue is not the most important. Agreed that according to the Bible, speaking in tongues edifies one spirit but surprisingly the Almighty understands all languages both acquired tongues, mother tongues and even the devils tongues. And there's no evidence anywhere in the Bible that prayers are better answered when prayed in unknown tongues.
I'd rather go for the gifts I consider more evidently useful to me and beneficial to people around me like spiritual power, knowledge and prophecy.
Besides the tongue I considered exceptionally real gift is as recorded in Acts chapter 1 when the Holy Ghist fell on the apostles, it gave them power to speak in other languages they never learnt before so they could be able to preach to foreigners in the later own language thus making the spread of the gospel easier and more interesting.
I doubt if any christian has such power now. Imagine you speaking im Arabic in the midst of Arabs so u can communicate better in evangelism. That is what I consider spiritual gift not some verbose cacophony

Please read Acts 2: 4-12 and 1Corinthians:14 for more understanding and guidance.[/size]

I still have pple who argue this with me.

It is a wonderful gift and it makes your Christian journey way easier

But it is not a criteria for getting to heaven.

A Christian who doesn't speak in tongues but is bornagain and lives in righteousness will make heaven and have many crowns depending on how well he or she evangelized

Meanwhile the tongue speaking brother or sister whose life didn't please God will enjoy a VIP ticket to hell.

Happy sunday guys. Its my baby niece's first day of going to church, her christening. Please wish Debby Chim'Amaanda a good outing

=Profbrian you are not correct because that's not what is stated in the bible. The sign of being filled with the the Holy Ghost is speaking in tongues as PastorOsemede stated, Acts 2:4, (dont add and don't remove) and NOT holiness and whatever as you claim. Stop propagating falsehood and genuinely desire to get filled first before continuing with your fruitless preaching. Maranatha.

Guide us to the right way. Idina ziro ta limustekin

Haaaa.... On the Judgement Day!

Speaking in tongues is the sign of being filled with the holy spirit? What happens to the other gifts of the spirit? Speaking in tongues is just one of the gifts..and the Bible made us understand in (acts14) that though speaking in tongues is good, prophesying is more desirable..I wonder the Bible translation that most of read seriously..

All these quotes that make you feel intelligent are often rubbish.

Being filled first is different from manifesting the GIFTS. Place the cart b4 the horse and not the other way round.

@ OP, thanks, this is really an eye opener
