Produktbeschreibung

Tongues on Fire are a must-read for those who want to experience the baptism of the Holy Spirit with the gift of speaking in tongues. Authored by Pastor Leslie Barnett who writes from experience having been involved in the 1970s "New Prophecy Movement"

Pastor Barnett's story begins with 18th century evangelist John Wesley, who paid heed to visions and supernatural encounters that occurred in the lives of Methodists of his day. Throughout his life he gathered stories of how God was revealing Himself in the lives of His people, and gave much thought to their meaning.

The author explains; that when the Holy Spirit was being poured out with the speaking of tongues families were reunited, long-severed friendships reconciled and hearts flowed together in true fellowship in the Lord. And even more than that, along with the spirit of unity and love came the spirit of sacrifice and the wondrous spirit of liberty."But in today's modern church tongues is considered unnecessary leaving many to question whether or not Mark 16:17 (the hallmarks to Pentecostalism) should be deemed 'spurious' in many modern Bibles. This has led to a noticeable decline in spiritual gifts among Pentecostal and charismatic worship services" says Pastor Barnett.

Leslie explains how the New Apostolic Reform movement is causing a schism within the Assemblies of God churches prompting concern that this may emulate the second century Montanist movement when prophecy became presumptuous by self appointed apostles, prophets, and prophetesses. Pastor Barnett exposes many who claim to be God's anointed and dismisses the notion that a third wave outpouring of the Holy Spirit is very much alive due to the many ethical problems facing the Pentecostal church in our day. To sum up the problem Leslie had this to say:

"The very soul of Christ's church, embodied in prophetic utterances, discernment, worship, healing, deliverance, and hospitality has slowly diminished leaving a lifeless Institutionalised religion with highly paid works of men."(2 Timothy 3: 1-3).

Of special interest is chapter seventeen were Pastor Barnett provides a spiritual explanation as to why Brett Peter Cowen was involved in one of Australia's most horrendous crimes against Daniel Morcombe and how it may have been avoided. And in chapter twenty five how a couple survived 9/11 by obeying God rather than man. Last but not least is chapter thirty three which is dedicated to "the Mysterious Messengers"-the angels of God, who have played a vital role in producing this work.
REVIEW ( draft copy)
"I started speaking in tongues over three decades ago. It is indeed a spiritual gift that should not be suppressed. YET, it is abused in countless ways and I do not believe it is by itself an indication of salvation. My family was in a Four Square Pentecostal Church service in 1985 where everyone else inside the church, on the Pastor's cue,started speaking in tongues. True to the Apostle Paul's teachings on the subject, I actually did think they were all nuts. Looking back, it was quite humorous and I think the event was more indicative of a forced doctrinal programming rather than any evidence of a true gift of tongues. I now find myself speaking in tongues ONLY when in a private spiritual moment to communicate with God. I've warned my wife that I do not know when this might occur and if she hears me in the middle of the night not to worry about it. Your writing appears to be an interesting read for me and I will check out your ministry's information as well when I get the time. Thank you for sending me the draft copy of Tongues on Fire which I'm confident will be a success on Smash-words.".
May God greatly bless you in your search for Truth.
Apostle Edward G. Palmer.

Autorenporträt

I was born into a dysfunctional poor family and quickly learned the art of commerce by selling papers and collecting empty bottles. School never appealed to me because subjects like the 'Queens English' with its nouns and pronouns made no sense to me due to my disability. But fortunately for me I was never bullied at school. Rather, admired for my talents in music and science when helping out my peers.
Teachers unaware of the effects of autism became very frustrated with me due to my inability to concentrate resulting in one teacher physically assaulting me. As a government cover-up and for the sake of my younger brother's admittance into the same school, it was agreed by my parents and the Victorian Education Department that I take special leave at the age of fourteen.
After leaving school I jumped from one job to another never really satisfied until I landed a job with a cash register company. It was there in among 'living mechanical parts' that my destiny was made known to me. Please allow me to share with you my spiritual calling.

At the age of twelve I realised that my home and schooling was not of man's doing but God's eternal plan ~affirmed to me at the age of five when experiencing an angelic encounter as mentioned in all my publications.
It was from this tender age that I began to receive dreams that were unfortunately dismissed as normal fanciful childhood imaginations. However it would be many years later when receiving the baptism of the Holy Spirit that these dreams were realised when teaming up with Billy Graham's 'Youth for Christ' ( Ephesians 1:5 / Acts 1:8).

Our Y.F.C team of speakers and musicians would travel in and around the Victorian country side evangelising in small churches preaching with zeal and enthusiasm. Added to the list were Church rallies, youth camps and coffee shops and street witnessing.
During that time Christ's message of love and peace was very much in vogue, made popular by the Civil Rights Movement and Vietnam War activists. The radio waves were bombarded with religious songs like "Jesus is just alright with me" performed by the Doobie Brothers and Norman Greenbaum's "Spirit in the Sky." Also high on the charts were religious songs sung by Pat Boone,and his daughter Debbie Boone whose song " You light up my life" was a number one hit.
But the biggest surprise of all was Bob Dylan's Christian conversion with recording album 'Slow Train Coming' which topped the music cha...
