Everything that is written in the Word of God is to bring us to the knowledge of Jesus Christ and faith in him. Romans 10:17 "So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ." We have someone who is always with us and will never leave us. * In 1 Corinthians 14 does it say that people are speaking to God in a special language? * Why did God send the Israelites into battle to claim the promised land? * Some people use Mark 16:17-18 to say speaking in tongues is THE primary evidence of having the Holy Spirit. Can you explain this?
