Speaking in a New Tongue

Q: What does the Bible say about God's elective grace?

God's elective grace indicates that He sovereignly chooses some for salvation, as seen in Acts 10 and Romans 15. Throughout Scripture, particularly in passages such as Acts 10, we see the theme of God's elective grace, where He chooses individuals or groups for salvation according to His divine will rather than any human merit. Peter's experience with Cornelius demonstrates that God is not a respecter of persons; however, His grace is selectively bestowed, showing that salvation is rooted in God's sovereign choice. In Romans 15, the inclusion of Gentiles in God's plan signifies that His grace extends beyond the Jews, embodying the universal reach of the gospel.

Q: How do we know Peter's message was focused on salvation?

Peter's message in Acts emphasizes Christ as the Savior, focusing on the need for God's grace for salvation. In Acts 10, Peter preaches about Jesus Christ, highlighting His role as Lord and Savior. His declaration that 'He is Lord of all' affirms that salvation is only found through Christ. Peter emphasizes that righteousness and reverence for God come as a result of God's transformative grace, not as conditions for salvation. This emphasizes that the gospel is centered on Christ's redemptive work and that salvation is a gift from God, not earned by any human action.

Q: Why is the gift of the Holy Spirit important for Christians?

The Holy Spirit empowers believers, confirming their salvation and enabling them to preach the gospel. The Holy Spirit is crucial for Christians as He plays the role of the divine agent in regeneration and empowerment. In the sermon from Acts 10, we see that the Holy Spirit fell upon those who heard the Word, indicating their new birth and seal of salvation. This event demonstrates that belief is a work of God's grace, where the Holy Spirit aids in understanding and proclaiming the gospel. The gift of the Spirit is not merely subjective but serves a definitive purpose; it equips believers to live out their faith and proclaim the truth of Christ effectively.

Q: What is the significance of speaking in tongues in Acts?

Speaking in tongues in Acts signifies a miraculous confirmation of the Holy Spirit's work in the early church. In Acts, speaking in tongues serves as a sign of the Holy Spirit's empowering presence. It indicates that God is breaking down barriers and including Gentiles in His salvation plan. The tongues spoken were not gibberish but real languages that conveyed God's glory, as expressed in different dialects. This not only confirmed the legitimacy of the apostles' message but also illustrated the universal nature of the gospel, demonstrating that salvation through Christ transcends cultural and linguistic boundaries. It encourages unity among believers and serves as a testament to the fulfillment of God's promise.

Q: How does God’s grace affect our understanding of salvation?

God's grace teaches that salvation is a divine gift, not something earned through human effort. The concept of grace is fundamental in understanding the Reformed perspective on salvation. In Peter's account in Acts and throughout Scripture, we see that salvation is not achieved by human merit but is an unmerited gift from God. This grace rescues individuals from the depths of sin, bringing them into a relationship with Christ. It emphasizes that salvation is solely through faith in Jesus, apart from works, which encourages believers to rely fully on God's mercy. In this way, grace transforms not only our standing before God but also how we view our lives and relationships with others.

How apropos that scripture reading from the book of Romans chapter 15 is for us today because we're witnessing God sending the gospel to some Gentiles here by his pastor and preacher Peter. Peter needed to be convinced that it was okay to go there, and God convinced him very well. Go speak to these Gentiles.

Over here in the book of Acts chapter 10, I'd like to begin reading with verse 34, and we're not going to make a lot of comments about this, except I want to say this. It would be very easy for me to say that this is not Peter's complete message. You know, the Lord has written about Him that if all the things that He had done had been written, then the world could not contain the whole. So when we read this message in Acts chapter 2 on the day of Pentecost, or this message here by Peter, I don't believe that we have the entire text of that message here.

Peter was going to preach a lot longer than just this amount of time. And he's going to bring up subjects that are brought up here, but he's going to be more pointed about them. He was never afraid to preach God's elective grace. He was never afraid to preach the real problem with natural man before God, and that is they fell in Adam, and they're incapable of retrieving themselves out of the mess that they're in by themselves. They need this great act of God.

Now we're going to see that in witness as we read this passage of scripture, but the apostle Peter is beginning here and he's going to share the gospel. We share the gospel. We don't cover it all in one time. It's here again and again and again. Then Peter opened his mouth. verse 34, Acts chapter 10, And said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons.

He s not saying that God s going to save everybody, but He is saying that He s going to save some Gentiles. He s going to save people out of every kindred nation, people, and tongue. It s what we find over there in the book of Revelation. But in every nation, He that feareth Him, and worketh righteousness, is accepted with Him. Now, He s sharing with us in that verse of Scripture that the righteousness And, well, the fear and the righteousness is not what procures salvation, but it is the results of what God does for us. God is going to give us a respect for God we never had, and He's going to give us a righteousness that we could not have in our own.

It's imputed righteousness. Verse 36, The word which God sent unto the children of Israel, preaching peace by Jesus Christ, He is Lord of all. That word, I say ye know, which was published throughout all Judea and began from Galilee after the baptism which John preached, how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit, with the Holy Ghost, and with power, who went about doing good and healing all that were oppressed of the devil, for God was with him.

And we are witnesses of all these things which he did, both in the land of the Jews and in Jerusalem, whom they slew and hanged on a tree. Him God raised up the third day and showed him openly, not to all the people, but unto witnesses, chosen before God even to us. who did eat and drink with him after he rose from the dead. And he commanded us to preach unto the people, and to testify that it is he which was ordained of God to be the judge of the quick and the dead. To him gave all the prophets witness.

So, he's reaching back to the Old Testament, and that is the only part of the Bible that he had at the time. He's reaching back there and saying, ìAll of the Old Testament brought this.î Now, those verses that we heard read there in the book of Romans, chapter 15 today, are all Old Testament verses of Scripture about the Gentiles. and that salvation for the Gentiles is going to be exactly the salvation that God had for the Jews, and that the Jews had had this preached to them from old. This is what God had been preaching from the very beginning. Abraham was not a Jew. He is called a Hebrew. He's the one that started the tribes. But he wasn't a Jew.

He was from Chaldea, and he was a wicked man down there in Ur of the Chaldeans, and he worshipped idols, and Joshua brought that to our attention. Our father, Abraham, was a wicked man and worshipped idols just like everybody else does, just like the Hittites do, until the God of glory went down there and saved him by His grace, brought him out of that pit.

Then we have here, while Peter yet spake these words. You know, the interesting thing about this, Peter did not even give an invitation. He didn't say, if you will do this and this, God will do this. He is dumbfounded. at what happened, because he s not a participant in it. He is a declarer of the gospel, and he preached the gospel to this group of Gentiles that God appointed to be put into this house at this time at this reading and this preaching that Peter had. Peter tells us he spake these words, the Holy Spirit fell on all of them which heard the word. He is stupefied, if you please. He is amazed that what God had done, just like everybody is amazed when God saves somebody by His grace. when they confess Christ as their Savior, and it wasn't something that they did or accomplished. These people are not given that opportunity. There is no altar call for. There is no bow the knee, sign the card. There is none of that stuff that is the modern way of getting people to make a profession of faith.

This is just what God did as a result of the preaching of the gospel. Now it doesn't tell us in this verse of scripture that he saved everybody without exception that was in that household. Who did he save? Those who he gave a hearing ear and a seeing eye to, they're the ones that believed.

It doesn't necessarily mean that everybody there. Now I say that because I have someone very close to me that used this passage of scripture to prove infant baptism. Had to be some babies in that house. Maybe there was. Maybe there was a nursing mama there. But it didn't apply to them.

It was those God gave a hearing ear and a seeing eye to, is the one. What does that mean? The gospel became precious to them by revelation. This was unexpected by Peter. Now, I don't want to put it into this context that the gospel preacher never expects God to do something. Every time the gospel is preached, God has done something.

Many may walk away after hearing the gospel and say, it's not for me. And we knew that all along, didn't we? Because the gospel wasn't for me either. And to every lost person, the gospel isn't for us either. It's not something that we're interested in. It's not something we'll raise our hand over.

It is something that must be revealed to us by God Almighty. So Peter went there with the promise that he was doing exactly what God had called on him to do. He was a faithful preacher of the gospel, and that's all he was expected to do. He was to go preach the gospel there. Well, it was unexpected by Peter and by Cornelius and was absolute proof of the conversion of these Gentiles who had been born again and had been given God's grace and God's gift of believing the Lord Jesus Christ as their Savior.

How do we know that? It says there, Peter spake these words, the Holy Ghost fell on them which heard the word. There's the gift of the Holy Ghost. Who brings the new birth? The Holy Ghost brings the new birth. Who is the agent of the gospel? The Holy Ghost is the agent of the gospel.

This is absolutely essential to have this power given in order to have God save somebody. We read over there in the book of 1 Thessalonians 1 that the word of God came to the Thessalonians, not in word only. We see that all the time. We can be in gospel churches across this land, and we don't see any results.

It appears that God is working anything. You know what? He is always working. He's always building up His sheep. And by the grace of God, when there's a lost sheep there that He intends to save, that person is going to acknowledge the work of God's grace in their life, and the people will rejoice with them. God's grace and God's gift to these people.

Peter did not preach a mathematical equation. He didn't say A plus B equals C. Here we got this, here we got this, now you do this, and God's going to be honored if you do that. Peter preached Christ as a Savior as he had not preached a possible Savior, but he preached a definite Savior to these people. We read in the book of Matthew chapter 1 and verse 21, she shall call his name Jesus, for he shall save his people from their sins.

And we see that evidence right here. In verse 45, there was a group of people, Jews, that were with Peter. They traveled along with him. They went along with him over here to witness what was going on. Now, these people are going to be also surprised. They're also going to see something quite unexpected.

I don't think any of them thought that anything was going to happen, because this is Gentiles and we're Jews, and the gospel is for the Jews. Well, it says in verse 45, and they of the circumcision, they that were Jews, which believed, were astonished. They were absolutely astonished that this great work of grace was falling out right before their very eyes. They could see what was happening. as many as came with Peter, because that on the Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the Holy Ghost."

My goodness, this great gift of the new birth was here also? This is the purpose of the Spirit coming in this manifestation. And then it says in verse 46, And they heard them speak with tongues, and magnify... Isn't that an interesting conclusion to them speaking in tongues? It says there, they spoke in tongues, and magnify God.

They're not magnifying themselves. They're not saying, look what I've done. They're not saying, you know, I just proved that I'm saved. And if it doesn't happen to you, you're not. I've had people tell me that. I've spoken tongues, that means I'm saved. You haven't spoken tongues, that means you're not saved. My foot. Salvation is not based on that.

In fact, that is a destruction of the very English word that we have here. That very word does not mean this gibberish that's going on. It means a language. We ran into that in the book of Acts chapter 2, when all of those people that were gathered there on the day of Pentecost, brought to one place by the rushing mighty wind, And there were 12 preachers there preaching in 12 different languages, and they confessed, we do hear the wonderful works of God in our language. It was not gibberish. It was conversational speech. Now, I can't understand very much Spanish, and I cannot understand a word of Yiddish. But it doesn't mean that they're not languages. It means they're languages that God used when he divided the people at the Tower of Babel. That's why we have all these languages. God purposed it to happen just that way at the Tower of Babel.

They were amazed. They were astonished. They were amazed. What about the scripture tell us because that on the Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the Holy Ghost. What is that? That is the new birth. is something that God grants by His grace, and it's not something that we are in a participation mode of, it is something that we are in a receptive mode of. It's a gift.

Turn with me, if you would, to the book of John, Chapter 4. In the book of John, Chapter 4, we have these. John, Chapter 4, we have these words recorded. John, Chapter 4, in verse 10. John chapter 4 and verse 10, this gift, this gift of the Holy Ghost, this gift of the Holy Spirit.

Let's see where this word gift is found in other places. It said, Jesus answered and said unto her. Now this is the woman at the well. She's another Gentile lady. The Lord God Almighty has had elect in every language since the very beginning, here one, there one. The harvest of Gentiles truly begins here in the book of Acts. And there's hundreds and hundreds of Gentiles that are saved by God's grace from this period on.

Aren't you glad the gospel got to Europe? Aren't you glad the gospel got to Eastern Bloc countries? They weren't Eastern Bloc countries at the time. Aren't you glad the gospel got to the Soviet Union? It's not the Soviet Union now. Aren't you glad it got to the United States?

Aren't you glad someone brought the gospel here by God's divine purpose of grace, just like He intended for the Apostle Peter to go down to this place and preach the gospel? And they didn't bring a mealy gospel. They brought the gospel of Jesus Christ, and they preached it faithfully.

Well, here it tells us Jesus is dealing with a Gentile woman, if thou knewest the gift of God. That's the same word. If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink, thou wouldst have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water.

And the woman said unto him, Sir, thou hast nothing. She still doesn't understand. He's not giving her A plus B equals C. He's not asking her to come to some prayer bench, sign some card. What's He doing? He's going on and revealing Himself to her. And that's what He does. And He is the preacher that can do that. The woman saith unto Sir, Thou hast nothing to draw with, and the well is deep.

From whence then hast Thou the living water? Art Thou greater than Jacob our father? And Jesus said in verse 13, answered and said, Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again, but whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst. But the water that I shall give him shall be unto him a well of water springing up into everlasting life. She said unto him, Sir, give us me this water, and I will thirst not, neither come here to draw. Go get your husband, you've had five of them. Alright.

Verse 21, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh. when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father. Ye shall worship ye know not. Ye worship ye know not what? We know that salvation, that worship for salvation is of the Jews. But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshipers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth. For the Father seeketh such to worship Him. God is a spirit, and they that worship Him must worship Him in spirit and in truth. Verse 26, I that speak unto thee am he. What did she say? We know the Messiah is coming. I that speak unto thee am. And she took off. God had visited her with the gift of the Holy Spirit.

In Acts chapter 8, Would you turn with me to the book of Acts chapter 8 verse 20? In Acts chapter 8 and verse 20, the Word says this. He told a person who said, I will pay you money for what you're doing. Peter said unto him, Thy money perish with thee, because thou hast thought that the gift of God may be purchased with money. The gift of God, the Spirit of God may be purchased with money. Let's go back over here to the book of Acts 10. Verse 46.

For they heard them speak with tongues, and magnified God. Then asked Peter, Can any man forbid water, that these should not be baptized, which have received the Holy Ghost as well as we? And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord. And then prayed they him to tarry certain days. Let's look a little bit at verse 46. They heard them speak with tongues.

We have had that brought out here in the book of Acts chapter 2, and we have a little bit of information about what took place on that day, and we've made reference to it just a little bit. We find that it was they were speaking in languages that people understood, and the people understood and said, we have heard in our own language the wonderful works of God. Here in this chapter we read about them speaking in tongues and speaking in tongues is often thought of a special gift that is given to people to signify that they're saved and that they are better than you.

That's not what this signifies at all. For they heard them speak with tongues and magnify God, and this then answered Peter, and we have that answer. The Cretes and the Arabians brought this up. You know, I have to ask you this question. What tongues did God give you when He saved you? This is a gift of the new birth as it is here.

We get over to the book of First Corinthians and we find out people were misrepresenting that. God says, don't have anybody speak in tongues without an interpreter. Well, I've heard people say they can interpret the tongues that other people are speaking. That's not what he meant.

Have you ever gone to a Spanish church? I did once. A missionary friend of mine was speaking there, and I just wanted to go. And I understood three words. Dios, he used that a lot, which is a Spanish word for God, and I can't remember the other two. For all intents and purposes, that message was wasted on me. because I couldn't understand it. And that's why God brings up to the Corinthians, if you're gonna have someone speak and speak in another language that nobody can understand, it's just better that he sit down. And you know what?

That guy will understand that and sit down. He's not gonna argue about it. He's gonna say, the scriptures say, if there's nobody here that can understand me, it's better that I sit down than say a bunch of stuff they can't understand. Paul said it's better to have five words with understanding than 10,000 words that are not understood.

So, saved by the grace of God. Okay, I got five words with understanding. Over there it's not, and they use the word unknown tongue, which is not in the original language, and none of the word tongues in the Bible was ever the stuff that is used as a modern sense. It's always a language. All right, what tongue did you get? when God saved you by His grace, because He gives every one of us tongues to speak. Turn with me to one of my favorite passages in the Old Testament, Psalm 40. Would you join me in Psalm 40? In Psalm 40 is such a declarative statement about where God finds us. Psalm 40. and how he deals with us. Where did he find us? Well, he may have found us at church, but this is where we really found us. It says, to the chief musician, a psalm of David, I waited patiently for the Lord and he inclined unto me and heard my cry.

He brought me up also out of a horrible pit. That's what He does for everyone He ever saves. He brings us out of a horrible pit. He brings us out of the results of the fall. Out of the miry clay. And that means it is so thick, the fall is so thick that we can't get ourselves out of it. It hangs onto us so terribly that we cannot remove ourselves from that mess. And set, he brought me up also out of a horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock. Now where does he put everyone he ever takes out of that hole, that horrible pit? He places them on himself. He is the rock. And established my goings. Now look at verse three.

Here is the tongues he gives to every believer. and hath put a new song in my mouth. Even praise to our God. Our tongues, our language changes about God so drastically upon the revelation of Jesus Christ. The first time in our life that we actually got to use the word capital L capital O, capital R, capital D, and it was not a swear word or a byword in some church, is this moment, when we cry out, as Saul cried out on the road to Damascus, We got to say it with efficacy. We got to say it with knowledge. We got to say it. There is a new language that God gives to us that is so pure and so true, and it begins with our acknowledgement of who saved us, and that is the Lord.

He hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God. Visited with some people the other day about all they ever hear out of some of these people is, unkind words and swear words. You know what? God gives us praise unto God. Now, when you hit your finger and you may say one of those old words, that's not going to change your station with God.

But the majority of time we get to say praise unto our God. A new song. a new language, a new word is given to us. It s a new tongue. We did not have this language by birth, we got this language by the new birth. It goes on to say, Many shall see it, and fear it, and shall trust in the LORD. He put a new song in my mouth. Turn with me to Psalm 33 if you would. Psalm 33. This is the tongues that God gives to His people. It s not gibberish.

It s the first time we got to speak real language and honor to God. We got to see Him as He is. We got to be able to use words like Sovereign God. We got to use words like High and Lifted Up One God. We got to use words like the Lord God Almighty. He became so, we become so enamored by this one that has lifted us out of a horrible pit.

Here it says here, sing unto him a new song. Play skillfully with a loud noise. He gave me a new song in my heart, new words, new music, new heart. new language that I can worship God with. Psalm 144, would you turn there with me in Psalm 144. We have here again this new set of tongues that God gives to us in the great efficacious salvation that He provides to us in Christ Jesus. Psalm 144 and there in verse 9 we read this, I will sing a new song unto thee, O God, Psalm 144, verse 9, I will sing a new song unto thee, O God.

It wasn't known unto me until now. I may have used the words, but I didn't know the music. I may have said the words. I may have said all the words, same words. I may have read them out of the Bible, but they didn't mean anything to my heart. And now He has given me a new language to address the Lord God Almighty, the Creator of heaven and earth with. He is my God. He's the one that lifted me out of a horrible pit. He's the one that saved me by His grace. It was not something I complimented and was able to get it because I did something for it. He gave it to me.

Here in Psalm 144 in verse 9, I will sing a new song unto thee, O God. Upon a psaltery and upon an instrument of ten strings will I sing praises unto thee. Well, I may not take those two musical instruments to bed with me, but I still get to sing. I will look under the hills from whence cometh my help, my help cometh from the Lord. Over the book of Revelation chapter 14, if you turn there with me, I get to seeing a new language.

It was prevented for me. I couldn't learn it. It was not one of the languages that was separated at the Tower of Babel. All of those languages were natural languages. And God did it on purpose so they couldn't get together and come up with more concoctions about religion. Did that help? Now every language comes up with concoctions of religion, not just the one. Everybody can build their Tower of Babel. God continues to save His people the same way.

Revelation chapter 14 and verse 3, we read here, And they sung, as it were, a new song before the throne and before the four beasts and the elders. And no man could learn that song but the church, the 144,000. Can't be taught. I cannot teach you to sing this song. I can tell you there is a song. I can tell you who's the author of the song. I can tell you who's the provider of the song. I can tell you all the history of the song, but I can't give you the song. The 144,000, much ado has been made about that. That's nothing more than the perfect number of the church. which were redeemed from the earth. The redeemed ones are called 144,000.

And guess what? They're given the new song. Praise unto God. In the book of Exodus chapter 15, there is a rendition that Moses was permitted by gift of the Holy Spirit, the book of Exodus chapter 15. In the book of Exodus chapter 15, beginning with verse one, we are a witness of looking back at the Red Sea after all the waters came back and there's no enemy following the children of Israel. Oh, there's a few floating instruments. There's a bunch of people face down. The whole enemy, the whole army of Egypt was dispatched at one fell swoop.

And Moses was given the grace of God to put together a song of rejoicing about what God had done. Now for us, our rejoicing is what took place at the cross. He took care of every enemy of the church at the cross. Every enemy of God and every enemy of the church. Then sang Moses and the children of Israel this song unto the Lord. Speak, saying, I will sing unto the Lord, for he hath triumphated gloriously. New words that we are given when God saves us by his grace. He triumphated gloriously at the cross.

The horse and his rider hath he thrown into the sea. He's taken care of every enemy. The Lord is my strength and song. We have a new language we get to speak. We have a new tongue that has been given to us by God Almighty when the Holy Spirit saves us by His grace. He has become my salvation. He is my God. I will prepare Him a habitation. My Father is God and I will exalt Him. The Lord is a man of war. The Lord is His name. My goodness, on and on he goes. This is Moses' song. This is brought up in the book of Revelation. This is what the church sings. This is a song.

Pharaoh's chariots and his host hath he cast into the sea. His chosen captains also are drowned in the Red Sea. You know what he did for Pharaoh? He put in his mind, what did I just do? I let all the workers leave. All the slaves. And he put in his mind to go after them. And why did God put that in his mind? Because that's the way he's going to take care of him. He's going to bring him into that great Red Sea and he's going to drown him on purpose for his glory and for the protection of Israel. Not one would be left. All would be drowned. There wouldn't be even a horse collected by Israel to say, look what I got as a prize. The depths have covered them. They sank at the bottom as stone. The right hand of the Lord has become glorious in power. Thy right hand, O Lord, has become glorious in power. Thy right hand, O Lord, has dashed in pieces the enemy.

What do we say? I have a new tongue. I have new words to a song that I never used to get to sing. I may have used the words, but I never got to sing it like this. And in the greatness of his thine excellency, thou hast overthrown them that rose up against thee. Thou sentest forth thy wrath. which consumed them as stubble, and with the blast of thy nostrils the water was gathered together, the flood stood up as a heap, and the depths were congealed in the heart of the sea." Do you think Israel thought that was a little bit of a miracle? You better believe it.

They'd never seen anything like that. The church has never seen anything like God's salvation. Never. Someone might have told us it's great. Someone might have said, the Lord saved me. But oh, it doesn't mean a thing until He has put away our enemies by the blood of Jesus Christ on the cross and revealed Christ to us. The enemy said, I'll pursue, I'll overtake, I'll divide the spoil. My lust shall be satisfied upon them. I will draw my sword. My hand shall destroy them. Thou didst blow them with thy wind, the sea covered them. They sank as lead in the mighty waters.

Who is like unto thee, O Lord, among the gods? Who is like thee, glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders? Who's like thee? A new song. My friend, God gives us a new tongue. We get to speak in tongues. People who are not saved, they say, oh, they're just using the same words as we do. No, it has some meaning to it. There's emphasis on it. There's some knowledge that God has given to us. The understanding, a person that is raised speaking a language is far superior to a person trying to learn a language. and religion is trying to learn a language, and God gives to His church the language, salvation is of the Lord.
