One major way to know a fake prophet is if he asks you for material gifts or money.Those who ask for them are professional prophets. The geniune prophets of God wont ask you for those things before attending to you. |

seggzz:not from 1-9. Your number 7 is wrong. There's nothing like demonic tongue. A tongue is a tongue. You yourself confirmed it. A tongue is a language. so, is there anything like fake language? |

bezimo:You are wrong.... read 1 Kings 17:7-16 Why would prophet Elijah in the time of famine insist that a widow should give him a morsel of bread? The very last the woman had which according to the woman, it is for her and her son to eat and die ..... If that woman was a Nigerian, she would've said to the prophet "u don see maga". 7 And it came to pass after a while, that the brook dried up, because there had been no rain in the land. 8 And the word of the Lord came unto him, saying, 9 Arise, get thee to Zarephath, which belongeth to Zidon, and dwell there: behold, I have commanded a widow woman there to sustain thee. 10 So he arose and went to Zarephath. And when he came to the gate of the city, behold, the widow woman was there gathering of sticks: and he called to her, and said, Fetch me, I pray thee, a little water in a vessel, that I may drink. 11 And as she was going to fetch it, he called to her, and said, Bring me, I pray thee, a morsel of bread in thine hand. 12 And she said, As the Lord thy God liveth, I have not a cake, but an handful of meal in a barrel, and a little oil in a cruse: and, behold, I am gathering two sticks, that I may go in and dress it for me and my son, that we may eat it, and die. 13 And Elijah said unto her, Fear not; go and do as thou hast said: but make me thereof a little cake first, and bring it unto me, and after make for thee and for thy son. 14 For thus saith the Lord God of Israel, The barrel of meal shall not waste, neither shall the cruse of oil fail, until the day that the Lord sendeth rain upon the earth. 15 And she went and did according to the saying of Elijah: and she, and he, and her house, did eat many days. 16 And the barrel of meal wasted not, neither did the cruse of oil fail, according to the word of the Lord, which he spake by Elijah. ....................................................................................................................................................................................... Same thing occur in the feeding of the 5000. Jesus could'v just prayed for the father to rain down food, but he asked them what do you have? they said five loaves and two fishes... u know the rest. Truth is God will use what you have to multiply you. |

coolsix:You are wrong, few people understood some of the Apostles when they were speaking in tongues. It is foreign languages not heavely language. The conditions are .: 1. It must be a language of certain set of people here on earth, 2. Must not be language understood by the speaker |
| Re: Ten Ways That Show That Your Prophet Or Prophetess Is Fake by nogames: 3:28am On Jan 11, 2016 |
coolsix:Please read you bible very well, tongues are language that understood but non of those around the speaker might understand it. It is called foreign language not heavely. In your example the person you said he was in spirit and understood the pastor have GIFT OF INTERPRETATION OF TONGUES is in the bible i will add refrence when day break. The problem is that, the language may be from any part of the world so it very rare to come by those who understand it, but there were testimonies even outside the bible, where somebody around the speaker testified he was speaking in his local language |

A lot of people here have a zeal for God but not according to knowledge. Most of the points the op raised are basic but as with everything he had to mix it up with HERESY. If you don't understand something doesn't make it wrong. That you don't experience it doesn't make it evil. There are 2 manifestations of speaking in tongues in the bible. The Acts2:6 you are quoting is a manifestation and 1 Corinthians 14 expantiates on it. It talks about speaking to God, no man understands him but he speaks mysteries. The Bible specifically called it angelic tongues. I fact on that day of Pentecost, the people first thought they were drunk because they didn't understand them then much later started hearing them speak their own language. Please read your bible well and stop relying on just what your GO says and preaches. So OP get accurate knowledge before you criticise or better still just shut it. God didn't give you that responsibility. Run your race and fight the good fight of faith. |

PROPHETmichael:That situation was different, Elijah went to that widow to help her as sent by God, she needed a miracle and had to act on a devinely inspired instruction to make for Elijah first, and she did and the food didnt finish and lasted her and her son throughout the famine and in most cases it doesnt happen like that, Remember Elisha healed Naaman the leprous syrian general without collecting money even though it was offered. That is why Jesus when speaking to his disciples said " freely ye have received, freely also give" Real prophets of God with the Rhema word of the Lord dont need or request for fanancial seeds before attending to you except in some few cases as inspired by devine instruction.And in some cases the genuine prophets of give to people that come to them for assistance be it material, spiritual or financial at least I have witnessed that. |

what about when they say pay online you believe them&if i say kingdom of JesusChrist has comeback to judge humanbeigns which i am very capable to prove #the same you say show us where it is in the bible?be wise and think but the prob lem remains that our TRUTH and revelation is ACCEPT it or PERISH#IT is an authority and those who are SPIRITUAL should challenge it and not the empty vessels who just talk because they have empty mouth and can open it as empty vessels. |

aperture11:Is the speaking in tongues that is done today same as that done by the apostles? If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels but do not love, I have become a sounding piece of brass or a clashing cymbal. Love never fails. But whether there are gifts of prophesying.... Whether there are tongues,they will CEASE.(1 corinthians 13:1, ![]() Does the Bible mention speaking in tongues with interpretation? I can tell you about a friend who learns how to speak in tongues. All who speak in tongues today don't understand what they are saying. Speaking in tongues was a practical means to spread the good news within short period.(Acts 1: ![]() Can you quote any place in the Bible where people doesn't understand their tongues? You see today speaking in tongues today has been the order of the day. Before a pastor preaches today he had already started making tongues. What are we talking about self? |

noblegrex:You mean the same tongues they're speaking today is another country language? If no, the tongues today could called demonic language or mere sound. Which set people can understand the tongues today? |

seggzz:Bro, I question your understanding of the bible in this regard. Please study to know not to criticize. I have tried to answer all the questions you raised but only the Holy Spirit can teach you. You see your problem with understanding this scripture is that you have a negative mindset about it. While Paul was trying to make a strong case for prophecy because it is a higher gift, he made some salient points about speaking in tongues too. Infact he said I thank my God that I speak in tongues more than ye all. Interpretation of tongues is a gift too and some people do have them. I have explained to you earlier my brother, that there are 2 manifestations of speaking in tongues. If you have heard of the Azusa conference of 1904, there was manifestation of the 2. My brother, it is important that we run this race personally, discount what you've been told by your pastors and ask God for accurate knowledge of his word. He will grant it to you. The Holy Spirit teaches us all things. Personally, I speak in tongues and I see the benefits everyday, the testimonies are endless. If you say someone is learning the thing or faking it, let them, the Holy Spirit can take over from there. |

coolsix:LIES! Speaking in tongues are not languages that people do not understand..The foreign languages the bible refers to, means other people's languages different than theirs..Read the bible and get understanding, not this gibberish all this idiots are spewing out |
| Re: Ten Ways That Show That Your Prophet Or Prophetess Is Fake by noblegrex: 9:51am On Jan 11, 2016 |

The most important question that we need to ponder is WHO MADE THEM PROPHETS? Self proclaimed prophets are false prophets bse nobody can make himself a prophet and, What i know (according to the Bible), The last Prophet is John The Baptist. |
| Re: Ten Ways That Show That Your Prophet Or Prophetess Is Fake by dmcdad: 10:23am On Jan 11, 2016 |
coolsix:As much as I hate to debate on religious issues, I have to correct this. The Bible stated it categorically that they spoke in different languages. That is like saying... Peter spoke in Aramaic, John in Latin, Phillip in Greek, Mathew in Yoruba etcetera. They didn't speak just a foreign language as stated by you but different foreign languages. Now tell me... With what a lot of people speak today which they claim is 'speaking in tongues', would you say it's the same thing with what the Bible stated knowing fully well everyone speaks the same foreign tongue and not different as stated in the Bible? Truth be told, more than half the number of Christians who speak in tongues today learnt it. And if you must know, some have the gift of speaking in tongues, while others have the gift of interpretation. Note: There is no pre-defined language which is called tongues. Speaking in tongue simply means speaking in a language not originally or ordinarily understood by the speaker. The language can be Chinese, German, Ibibio, Yoruba, Efik etcetera. As long as that language is not understood by the speaker by default, then the speaker can be said to be speaking in tongue(language not known). |
