Inverted Orthodoxy 421- Podcast Diversity, Spiritual Gifts, and maybe more!
Welcome to the Inverted Orthodoxy Podcast! We're Blake, Kyle, and Doug the pastors from Living Springs, here to take you on a weekly adventure through the twists and turns of faith. Got questions? We've got answers, and sometimes more questions! Join us as we explore, celebrate, and embrace the beautiful complexities of belief. This weeks episode tackles the following questions:
1. How are you ensuring that with 3 male pastors on the podcast that you're able to represent the way our female pastors think and feel on the issues you discuss? Have you considered having guests on for certain questions or issues?
2. I know Episode #339 briefly touches on some of these points...
But Laura just spoke On Oct 19 in church on Spiritual Gifts (1 Corinthians 12). Thanks Laura for your boldness in preaching the word! :)
Is there a significant distinction between the kind of speaking in tongues found in Acts 2 (xenoglossia) and the spiritual gifts listed in Corinthians (glossolalia).
As well.. "Speaking in Tongues," and its counterpart "Interpretation of tongues," as listed in Corinthians, seems weird to me... All the other listed gifts seem inextricably linked to outward forms of justice that generally positively impact one's "neighbour," while the gift of tongues... (and interpreting them)... seem out of place? (Perhaps Prophecy, Discernment, and knowledge fall into other camps as well).
Similar to this... many pentecostal denominations cite the ability to speak in tongues as a marker of salvation and "true faith." Yet... they seem to reference Acts 2... which again... appears to be different than "the gift of tongues." I'm sure that last part could be framed as a question... but In terms of AER, I would just love to hear a deeper explanation on the gift of tongues... as there tends to be plenty of confusion on the topic.
