    You asked this question with 3 new post in the past few days. Did you understand that everyone sees you old posts and these new post can just confuse folks, and will likely get deleted one by one. The answer is yes you can but you should not. Can you open a paint can with a pocket knife, sure you can but you should not. Tile should be set in thinset or pastic, preferably thinset.

    You can use Liquid nails and it will hold the tiles. BUT if your ceiling has any kind of texture at all and is not smooth then it will not hold. Be sure to press on hard enough and let tile set a minute or so. If you have any paint on the ceiling be sure to sand off as the paint will come loose along with the liquid nails and your tile and crash to the floor. If the tiles are small, OK. But if they are larger tiles, then no.
