Well aren't angels "heavenly" beings? And Paul mentions languages of angels...what more do we need to talk about?

If anything speaking in tongues in the holy ghost is more a heavenly language then to say language of angles is heavenly.

Really? Define "Heavenly language" then. BTW what difference does it make what we call it? This seems to be sort of a irrelevant semantic argument.

The point was Paul mentions languages of men and angels

1Co 14:2 For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God: for no man understandeth him; howbeit in the spirit he speaketh mysteries.

Wrong verse. Wrong topic

Further more I did not simply say "that is not what Paul means" what I did do was follow the continuity of the previous chapter when Paul tells us to seek after the best gifts, then he tells us "but I show you a better way" and launches into verse one of chapter 13. What is that better way? Is he comparing just the gifts of the spirit? No he just opens up with the gifts of the spirit as that is what he was talking about in the previous chapter. But he does not stop there, he goes on to say..

Who are you talking to? Where did you dig up this other stuff in my post?

All Im pointing out is Paul DOES indeed mention two types of languages, of men and of angels

1Co 13:3 And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing.

Wrong verse. Wrong topic

In a nut shell, the gifts of the spirit are given to equip the body of christ to do the work of the ministry, and to deify the body of Christ. Ephesians 4:12 till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ. Ephesians 4:13 Or till we all have a true spirit of Love. As Jesus said "the world will know you by your love one for another" .

Wrong topic. Again I don't know where you reading all this in my post. I Merely pointed out there are indeed two kinds of languages that are possible., This other stuff is completely beside the point

Friend we have a long way to go before that happens, esspecialy when we can't find true love one for another even in our own groups. Seen by the division from one idea to another, "my way is the only way and if you won't play the way I want then I will take my ball and go home". In my life time I have seen more splits in just the UPCI than should be, just because of differances of seeing scripture. This is Love?

Tongues of men and tongues of angels? Remember that? That was what I posted on. This is bizarre. Nothing you are posting is relevant to my post.

Paul deals with this in clear detail in Romans 14, yet some that call themselves Christian won't fellowship with others because "they eat meat, or don't keep the Sabbath" add your own doctrines the principle Paul was teaching goes for all these things. Whether it be women cutting thier hair, wearing pants, etc.

Again wrong topic. Wrong poster...wow

So Brother Praxeas though I don't expect you to agree, I still love you and if we were to see each other in person I would still treat you as a brother in Christ. You see I found out seveal years ago when my house of cards fell apart that that is just what I had been raised with, a house of cards. So now I can discuse things without having to be right all the time. I don't put things out as what I say is gospel truth. I put them out so as to get others to draw closer to God in the spirit that God gave them to lead them into deeper relationship with God and not after the traditions of men and the rudiments of this world, built on the philosophies and vain deciets of man. Colosians 2:9-10.

Tongues of men and of angels? Remember that? That was what we are talking about. That was ALL I said. You must have me confused with someone else.
