The following are some notes I made to learn more about the Holy Spirit. I have since added to this and may add more.
The gift of the Holy Spirit is more than speaking in a language you did not learn.
Based on the Greek text.
Luke 24:45 “Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures”.
John 20:22 “And when he had said this, breathing on them, he said to them, Let the Holy Spirit come on you”.
Acts 2:4 “And some of them were filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other languages, as the Spirit gave them utterance.”
Acts 2:8 “And how hear we every man in our own language, wherein we were born?”
Acts 2:11 “And how hear we every man in our own language, wherein we were born?”
1 Corinthians 12:28 “And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of languages.
1 Corinthians 12:29 “Are some of all apostles? No. Are some of all prophets? No. Are some of all teachers? No. Are some of all workers of miracles? No.”
In verse 29 the word all is G3361 combined with G3956. G3361 is “A primary particle of qualified negation; (adverbially) not, (conjugationally) lest; also (as interrogitive implying a negative answer.
G3956 pas Some or part of all.
So in verse 29 all is “Some of all, No”.
In verse 30 every instance of all is only from G3956 meaning “Some or part of all”.
1 Corinthians 12:30 “Have some of all the gifts of healing? No. Do some of all speak with languages? No. Do some of all interpret? No.”
1 Corinthians 13:8 “Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be languages, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away.”
Interesting that here Paul uses a verb to say that prophecies and knowledge will become entirely idle or useless. For tongues the verb is to stop. This happens when the perfect is come. I have heard it said the perfect is the complete written Word of God. James 1:25.
1 Corinthians 14:2 “For he that speaketh in a language speaketh not unto men, but unto God: for no man understandeth him; howbeit in the spirit he speaketh mysteries. (The word unknown is not in the Greek text.)
1 Corinthians 14:4 “He that speaketh in a language edifieth himself; but he that prophesieth edifieth the church.” (The word unknown is not in the Greek text.)
1 Corinthians 14:5 “I would that ye all spake with languges, but rather that ye prophesied: for greater is he that prophesieth than he that speaketh with languages, except he interpret, that the church may receive edifying.”
1 Corinthians 14:13 “Wherefore let him that speaketh in a language pray that he may interpret.” (The word unknown is not in the Greek text.)
1 Corinthians 14:14 “For if I pray in a language, my spirit prayeth, but my understanding is unfruitful. (The word unknown is not in the Greek text.)
1 Corinthians 14:19 “Yet in the church I had rather speak five words with my understanding, that by my voice I might teach others also, than ten thousand words in a language. (The word unknown is not in the Greek text.)
1 Corinthians 14:27 “If any man speak in a language, let it be by two, or at the most by three, and that by course; and let one interpret.” (The word unknown is not in the Greek text.)
Notes:
In 1 Corinthians 14:24 all three instances of all are from G3956 pas and mean “some or part of all”.
Liddell and Scott 3 “People speaking a distinct language.”
Strong’s G1100 “Of uncertain affinity; the tongue ; by implication a language (specifically one naturally unacquired) speaking a distinct language”.
At the time of the writing of Strong’s the Koine Greek was unknown as with the KJV of the Bible. That is why you see phrases like, “Of uncertain affinity”. The word can mean the physical tongue in the body or even the tongue of a piece of leather. When speaking it is a language.
